Pearl Token & Playing Card
NFT Tier Breakdown
This collection features Oscar (the oyster mascot) and Oli (his sidekick) restoring ecosystems via oyster filtration. Each NFT is tied to a specific real-world location and associated with a corresponding ecological benefit. The Pearl Token acts as a utility token for governance or perks (e.g., Nutrient Credit certificates).
The Monaco tier is super-limited (50 NFTs). Emojis are paired with visuals for clarity.
Rendering Style: 3D semi-realistic with animated elements (e.g., oysters pulsing, waves, landmarks). Borders:
- ๐ค Bronze = Standard Tiers
- โช Silver = Bonus/Prestige Tiers
- ๐ก Gold = Super-limited (e.g., Monaco, Thames)
