WILD NFT

WILD NFT is a world class NFT minting & market platform that delivers wellbeing and sustainability for natural environments and animals.

We founded dignifid.org, a nonprofit providing digital ID to support wellbeing for animals & environment. NFT Maker Pro is our tech partner.

=====================

Impact on Challenge Metrics

-----------------------------

WILD NFT will be available globally and accessible to 100's millions of individuals. It is an exciting and valuable platform enabling any person or organization anywhere in the world to participate in supporting their local ecosystems, as well as any other global ecosystem – large or small. This is the ultimate funding and investment exchange to attract participation, funding and investment for environmental wellbeing and climate change mitigation.

Potential for billions of USD-equivalent investment into these sectors will bring the greatest concentration of participants and transactions to Cardano.

WILD NFT also contributes to Cardano becoming a key resource for climate change mitigation via this "natural environment investment platform" that facilitates expanding and sustaining natural environments, and directly improving wellbeing for humans and animals. (NOTE: Climate change mitigation isn't exclusively limited to reducing anthropogenic carbon emissions.)

Timeline:

---------

We expect to complete the following goals within three months after project start. Our proven team, with decades of domain expertise plus demonstrated success in the Cardano NFT ecosystem, will deliver:

1. Product launch to include, (1) a multilingual WILD NFT minting web portal, (2) a multilingual decentralized WILD NFT market-place web portal, and (3) support for native smart contracts on Cardano.

2. On-going platform updates and support to ensure all features are functional for global user participation.

3. Once we've reached all goals of the proposal, we'll continue to improve the web portals and scale up to maintain our leadership position and deliver results globally for increased animal and environmental wellbeing.

With the combined power of the Cardano ecosystem & our development team, we will operate the first and most trusted and respected NFT market that supports healthy, sustainable natural environments and animal wellbeing.

Initial WILD NFT Products:

--------------------------

[Examples below are a small set of general, initial WILD NFT implementations.]

Natural Environment Conservancy:  WILD NFTs, verified and attested by credible auditors, that provide trusted and reliable financial support for measurable natural environment conservation and wellbeing.

Wild Animal Conservancy: WILD NFTs, verified and attested by credible auditors, that provide trusted and reliable financial support for measurable wild animal conservation and wellbeing.

WILD NFT for Pets (those furry family members that have wild genetics!!)

        CASE 1:  Fund shelter animals!!  Help to ensure that any animal that finds itself in a homeless animal shelter will go to a safe forever-home.  WILD NFTs can help put an end to euthanizing healthy animals - making Cardano a key resource for animal care and compassion.

        CASE 2:  Pet Custodian NFT4NAT:  NFT4NAT which safely assures, with associated funding and a contract, that a pet owned by a senior (50+ years old) pet guardian will be safely transferred to and cared for at a no-kill animal shelter in the event that the senior pet guardian can no longer car for the pet. (Initial focus is N. America, where DignifID has already developed this model and associated contracts.)

Many other types of WILD NFTs will be developed by an enthusiastic global community interacting with our multi-lingual web portals.

WILD NFT will also provides mechanisms for market dynamics that enable WILD NFTs for environment and animal support to be acquired as investments that have sustainability returns AND financial upside potential.  If a CryptoKitty is worth $100k's - what might a WILD NFT for a protected lion be worth? We're going to find out!!
