Drop Bears Io

Australian NFT project Created by 3 friends from the South Coast of NSW Australia.

Feeling that there was not much Australian content in the NFT space at the time the 3 founders set out to create an Australian NFT project like none before, a place where a unique community could be born. Seeing as the NFT space was filling up quickly from PFP projects as a means to create funding for much larger project visions, the 3 founders decided on picking an animal for their project, but the animal that was chosen had to be fitting, it had to be as Australian as it gets. With the founders living in one of the area affected by the 2019 Australian bushfires and seeing just how bad it got they wanted to give back to some of the animals whose homes were destroyed.

The founders decided upon Drop Bears the elusive mythical creatures which fit the degenerate bogan theme they were going for quite well. Hiring an artist and a developer to turn their vision into reality. The Founders, Artist and Developer worked tirelessly day and night to create a masterpiece, one that would pave the way for Australians in the NFT space as well as contribute to the ongoing Koala habitat destruction and threat of extinction.

Drop Bears launched on the 29th of August with 10,000 Drop Bears to be minted from the contract which sold out in 17 Hours. The Drop Bears website shows the roadmap moving forward for the project as well as all relevant information regarding the project with links. Drop Bears official website.

The official Drop Bears collection can be found on OpenSea the largest platform for NFT's. Drop Bears can also be found on Rarity Tools. 10 Ethereum from the initial sale was donated to Port Macquarie Koala Hospital which was used to adopt 15 Koalas and also to help fund a wild breeding program. To date a further 2 Ethereum has been donated to Magnetic Island Koala Hospital.

The team has a further 2 Ethereum to donate to a selected charity, all helping the threat that the Koala species is facing.

Drop Bears have been mentioned in a multitude of articles, videos and podcasts to date.
