Art

The Introduction

My name is Jeffrey Hinfelaar and I am a (pediatric) dentist. The aim of this project is to make digital dental art by making individual oral scans of individuals and modifying them with visual effects, after which they will be minted as an NFT on the Etherium's leading layer one protocol: Polygon, simply because the gas-fees on the Etherium blockchain would be more than the initial selling price of a NFTeeth. Participants will be able to buy and sell the NFT's on Opensea.io for 0.01 Etherium tokens each, after downloading an etherium compatible crypto wallet like Metamask. There will be no NFT presale and the project will be stealth launched.

 

 The motivation

As a dentist I´ve always been fascinated by the uniqueness of every mouth and the story it tells. Inspired by the newest technologies, I've became more and more aware of the possibilities NFT´s have to offer. In the previous years I´ve bought some NFT´s myself and I became a participant in several DEFI projects as well, after HODLing some cryptocurrencies, like Polygon (Matic), for a couple of years now. 

The Reason

I wanted to start a crypto project myself as a freelancer. Besides creating an income for myself as an artist, the NFTokenomics I shall use in this project also allows me to fund marketing and give to charity, just by airdropping the moste scarce NFT´s to influencer participants and charity foundations around the world. They will be able to sell or even auction the NFT on a NFT marketplace, generating donation funds. As a pediatric dentist it's a no brainer for me on wich charity foundations to pick, namely the ones promoting child dentistry in countries were there is limited access for children to have dental care.

The method

Every month I will be releasing one unique oral scan. The first edition will be of my own teeth and every month a new edition will be released containing the teeth of an Influencer or an ambassador (if that edition is meant for charity). In order for me to do this, I will be traveling to the winning influencer every month in order to make the scan. These participants will be added to the Hall Of Fame page and receive the most valuable NFT in that edition, for their effort. Visit the Roadmap page for more detailed information on the upcoming events.

 Every edition will contain 16383 NFT's. This is the cumulation of 2^0 up until 2^13. The rarest (most valuable) NFT is the 2^0=1 and this is the diamond NFT. This NFT will be airdropped to the person who's teeth are scanned. However, the additional 16382 NFT's will be sold on Opensea for 0.01 Etherium tokens each, regardless of the scarcity and in addition, a 1 percent royalty fee will be charged on each transaction. This way, (re-)evaluation of the NFT prise gets determined by the community and will rise as demand grows, while also incentivizing early participants being able to buy the rarest NFT's of that edition first. HODL-ers will also be incentivized by several announced and unannounced special edition airdrops. This way, HODL-ing a common NFT (least scarce NFT) of the collection even gets incentivized in the short and long term, namely by getting a sweet limited edition airdrop.

Influencers can fill in the Influencer Application Form and each monthly winner will be the person who haves the most (crypto minded) followers. As they promote their teeth to their followers, demand of their serie grows and so does the price of their diamond edition NFT. Will they sell, or just HODL-on??

The objective

In the early stage of the project the aim is to create a fun way to own and trade a very unique and personal peace of art in a unique way. Participants support their favorite influencer, contributes to charity, get rewarded for HODLing and can earn by trading these fine peace's of art. However, the bigger purpose of this project is to generate funds to bring these NFT's to the metaverse and even building Digital Dental Practices, where people will be able to customize their NFTeeth (with golden crowns, piercings, brackets, etc). This NFT utility will further drive demand, making the project more valuable and sustainable in the long term. The NFT's are minted using a .GLB format, which makes them compatible within a metaverse project.
