OnChainTarzan
What is OnChainTarzan?
OnChainTarzan in its most basic form & definition is:
A set of onchain building blocks for creating a truly decentralized metaverse. everything is generated & stored on Ethereum blockchain with zero dependency on other platforms (servers/APIs/IPFS/Development-Team).
The way we chose for creating this community was dropping hard-capped eponymous PFP NFTs for mint by the most active members (gurus) of this ecosystem. There is total of 8192 OCTs. They will never be extended or reproduced, thus resulting in sustainable value generation for their holders which we value most.
Everything being onchain, doesn’t imply low-quality/poor-graphics products. It means you’re assets will be life-long safe & immutable & you’ll benefit from all features that web3 offers in digital property ownership & users owning the contents. In addition, those being fully onchain(so always alive/accessible/immutable), will let the builders (team & community) have a cement building base to fire a proxy & build high quality & immersive user experience using the right technology.
What does it mean to be an OnChain NFT?
Non Fungible Tokens (AKA NFTs) are the ERC721 standard tokens of Ethereum(can also be on other Blockchain, which we believe aren’t as decentralized as Ethereum)(CryptoPunks aren’t ERC721, as they predate the EIP721 standard!).
In addition to holding the token Id & holder address On Chain, majority of NFTs store the metadata/media off the chain, which increases the risk of losing data or control over holder’s assets by sacrificing decentralization. Storing the media/metadata (The NFT itself in the market) on the chain, will eliminate all the risks of losing/changing data in the future, which makes the NFT highly valuable (e.g. Autoglyphs, Punks-On-Chain, Anonymice).
OnChainTarzans, as the name speaks (Don’t Trust, Verify every project that claims to be onchain. merely prefixing the name with “onchain” doesn’t make some NFT onchain!), are FULLY OnChain, So your property as their holders will never be at risk of losing/changing as long as the Ethereum blockchain exists. You also by no means depend on what we (the team) do & how we act. They will always be yours & the community (you) will decide where they go (in price / whatever).
Let the Numbers Speak:
- Cap: 8192 (=2¹³)
- Public Mint: 7682 (= 2¹³ — 2⁹)
- Community Contribution Fund / NFT Drop: 256 (= 2⁸)
- Project Growth Fund: 256 (=2⁸)
- Holders so far(Jan-03-2022): 2.8 K

Why & Who:
Why were they minted free of charge?
Price, in any level (low or high) can be a barrier to entry for those who can’t afford, thus decreasing the chance of creating an inclusive community. With the dawn of Bitcoin, everybody in any part of the world got the chance of entry to the world of finance. This is what Crypto world/paradigm give to us, so we decided to give the same back to the community. The drawback with price being 0, was the mindset among some users who didn’t understand of an OnChain PFP. But this is what happens in every community & for every product, which isn’t important.
Who are the developers?
The team behind this project is a team of anonymous OG developers, graphics/character/game designers. We respect & highly value privacy & anonymity and believe that one doesn’t have to disclose any personal information as long as acting professionally.
Who are the VCs behind?
No one is in & we will never put the project in the hands of any VCs. AYK, dictating expectation & greed. we’ve founded & funded the project from design, to develop & launch using our own budget & we’ll never sacrifice our values for money. The only way for VCs in, is buying OnChainTarzans from the community.
What Happened During Minting?
The only thing we can say is that:
“You (The Community) made the history”
The OnChainTarzan’s minting was fast & furious. Everyone was aping in & it was truly huge. Following is some of the records you made yesterday:
1- OnChainTarzan contract was the #2 gas guzzler on Ethereum Blockchain(Above Uniswap, Tether,…) producing over 10% of whole gas fees!:
2- OnChainTarzan contract was the first EIP-1559 ETH Burner in the Network over all the contracts:
3- Sold-out happened in 3 hours, 1 week prior to the project start (as planned for Jan 11th). Half the team were informed on their Twitter that their project is taking over!
The Roadmap?
- Step 1 [Q1 2022], Release of OnChainTarzans, Done
- Step 2 [Q2 2022], Release of the LAST set of human PFPs*, Technically Done
- Step 3 [Q3 2022], Release of Lands*, Development Started
- Step 4 [Q4 2022], Release of RC version of Immersive Metaverse, Development Started
- Step 5 [Q2 2023], Release of Final version of Immersive Metaverse, Not Started
*OnChainTarzan Holders, will have huge privilege(Price/Precedence) on Minting these which are not necessarily free. This is why some call OCTs, loyalty PFP NFTs.
Just a friendly reminder on the roadmap: we are used to promising less & delivering more. This is the way we work. But keep in mind that nothing is tied to how we work, you, the community can make better than us & ahead of us. This is what true decentralization means.
Who Can Build on OnChainTarzans?
Literally Everyone! The project is open & is totally in the hands of community & Ethereum. you don’t even need a single piece of an API to starting building. all traits & requirements are embedded into the code & enforced by Ethereum. All you need to do, is to let your imagination go wild & start building worlds, games & whatever can think of, based on that contract. You may compete the team behind the project (as we are also busy making) on building an ecosystem around it. There is no limitation. Sky is Limit!
So, welcome everybody. we support you & we appreciate what you do to make this community better.
