This Whitepaper introduces our project, from ideation to our future roadmap, giving you a comprehensive overview of all the necessary information you might need. We hope that you will find this Whitepaper useful and decide to embark on this journey with us.


Disclaimer

This Whitepaper is the first version released by the Shogun S侍murais team. It is not binding in nature and may be subjected to change in the future.


Mission

With a team from Asia, Shogun S侍murais aims to be a leading Non-Fungible Token (NFT) brand name in the NFT space, driving innovation and increasing adoption for NFTs. Shogun S侍murais will build its brand through real-world partnerships and utilities that will benefit the community.


Background

Shogun S侍murais was founded by 6 Singaporean college graduates as a means to promote one of the team member's (Hqubes) art. From Day 1, we have been adopting an "Art and Community First" approach in handling the project, from the attention to detail put into the NFT assets, to the organised and smoothly run discord server.

As a result, we have grown into a 35,000 member strong community in just a little over 3 weeks, with a collective consensus that we are one of the most active and appreciative communities out there. Naturally, we want to set our sights on the next phase of the project, where we shed light on how we are going to introduce utility into our ecosystem, as well as the various long-term benefits for our Shogun S侍murais NFT holders.

Our team will continue to deliver what we promise to the best of our abilities and be as transparent as we can, and this White Paper is one of the initiatives in doing so. We hope to bring value to all our NFT holders while further building & strengthening the Shogun S侍murais community, bringing this project to greater heights ( i.e. The Moon 🌕).


Artwork

The 8,888 S侍murais consist of over 100 different hand-drawn traits. We wanted the S侍murais to stand out from the rest of the Profile Picture (PFP) collections because of its detailed artistry. This proved to be beneficial during our early stages as our art literally sold itself when we first launched our social platforms.
