Indian mythology makes it to NFT space with MetaMasters launch

business-standard.com:

World's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance on Monday launched its first ever Indian NFT collection inspired by Indian mythology and Southeast Asian, Japanese and Chinese folklore.

The Indian NFT Collection, MetaMasters, whose unique selling proposition is bringing good fortune '888 times more money, wealth & profits for its collectors' will be available for the 30 million global users of Binance.

MetaMasters are powerful celestial beings that travel through the fabric of space and time to bring good fortune to its collectors. The first in the series would be MetaMaster MahaDev, according to the description on Binance.

The floor price of the NFT has been set at USD 387.92 and 3,564 items have been listed for sale on Binance.

MetaMasters have been created by Europe-based storyteller and NFT asset creator Sourav Roy and Singapore-based Tech entrepreneur and NFT artist Sandeep Bhatia.

The series is being launched to mark the auspicious period between Chinese New Year, which starts from the first week of February, to Maha Shivratri, which falls in the first week of March.

Talking about the concept behind MetaMasters, Roy said the era of functionless, boring NFTs are gone and collectors want value for their money and functionality along with a unique utility for their NFTS.

'Everybody is tired of the same type of pixelated, zero-utility NFTs. How many more crazy cats, roaring lions, punching penguins and pesky parakeets do you want to see in the name of art? That's why we focussed on a unique blend of storytelling from India, China, Vietnam, Philippines and Turkey to create MetaMasters and launched MetaMasters. MetaMaster MahaDev as the first in the series," Roy said.
