Lucky Helmet Story
Bitlayer, as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 based on the BitVM paradigm, is dedicated to becoming the computational layer for Bitcoin. Embodying the spirit of BitVM, Bitlayer aspires to bring together a group of pioneers who are brave enough to push boundaries and explore this frontier.
The helmet is the trademark of a racer, signifying protection and readiness for the challenges ahead. When a driver dons the helmet, it signifies the beginning of an exhilarating competition. The Lucky Helmet serves as a pass for the first builders in the Bitlayer ecosystem, embodying substantial value.
The Value of Lucky Helmet
The uniqueness of the Lucky Helmet lies in that it is not just an image, but a symbol of identity representing the contributions of builders in the Bitlayer community.
In addition, the Lucky Helmet also has a variety of practical utilities:
-
Priority Governance Rights: Holders of the Lucky Helmet are recognized as key stakeholders within the ecosystem and are granted priority governance rights.
-
Token Airdrop Rights: Holders may receive token airdrops from Bitlayer and other ecosystem projects.
-
Official Campaign Points and Multiplier Benefits:Holders are also rewarded with campaign points initiated by the official Bitlayer team. Furthermore, they enjoy the right to multiple point multipliers in ecological projects.
-
Other potential rights.
What Makes A Lucky Helmet Unique?
Lucky Helmet strives to find the ideal balance between NFT scarcity and liquidity. We utilize the benefits of issuing assets on both the base and second layers of Bitcoin by adopting the Ordinals issuance paradigm. This process entails:
-
The issuing team will mint all Lucky Helmets en masse on Bitcoin, preserving the assets’ native integrity.
-
Holders can trade on Bitlayer as they choose. This approach optimizes the circulation efficiency of Lucky Helmet and minimizes transaction costs.
-
At any time, they can transfer their Lucky Helmet back to Bitcoin using a cross-chain bridge.
How to Get A Lucky Helmet?
According to our plan, the total number of Lucky Helmet NFTs is set at 5,000, with a potential over-issuance of up to 20%. All NFTs will be issued to the community via a whitelist, and minting will take place within a specified timeframe.
The distribution plan is as follows:
1. Priority Passes
