Greetings traveler!

The day has come. COIN is here.

For those who missed it, I tokenized myself as an ongoing social experiment called Coin’s E-Den. You can think of COIN as a collaborative governance token regarding me and the Coin Artist ecosystem.

Earn COIN to ascend the ranks and influence the syndicate. Amass enough governance power and the world is yours. Miss a challenge and wallow in pity.

The COINiverse is being crafted before our very eyes and we need your help to shape it.

And what would a COIN launch be without a crypto puzzle?

Let the DeFi Games begin! This crypto puzzle features COIN, she is the $BOSS of a Neon District Syndicate. This image contains everything you need to start your journey through Coin’s E-Den to win a bounty of 34700 COIN.

For those lucky contributors and community members who were airdropped COIN, you’ll need to upgrade to the real using the secret COIN Migration portal. Simply interact with the contract to swap your old COIN for the new, improved, sleek and sexy new COIN!

Once you’ve successfully completed the swap, you’ll be greeted with the ability to join the token-permissioned Discord channel thanks to our friends at CollabLand.

Simply use the !join command in any public Neon District channel and you’ll be greeted by this bot message.

Click the link and connect to MetaMask using the address with your COIN.

Assuming you’ve got enough COIN, you’ll be granted a role by the bot.

Head back to the Neon District channel and check out the secret COIN topic ;)

Once you’ve made it there, the real fun begins! Good luck!

COIN Details

Total Supply: 3,470,000 COIN

Contract Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Revealed later today!)

Follow the puzzle trail to be the first to locate COIN’s official address. We’ll update this post once it’s been discovered. Please be extra careful about which COIN you’re interacting with, as there are many tokens with the same ticker and even old test COINs floating around!

For all the tokenomic geeks out there, here’s how the total supply breaks down.

Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve been teasing a suite of distribution mechanics to distribute COIN to early supporters. Whether it be NFT purchases on OpenSea, a secret Tendies address, or an airdrop to Neon District trophy and key holders, wide set distribution was something we put a lot of effort into out of the gate. All the exact details will be shared in the secret COIN channel.

Social tokens are a new breeding ground and thanks to our CollabLand integration, it’s easy to see if anyone is keeping their word by retaining their rank in Discord. The bot monitors a user’s wallet and demotes or kicks them if they drop below a certain threshold. Web3 composability at it’s finest!

COIN enthusiasts stand to earn the lionshare of the pie through rewards and incentives like the 34700 COIN grand prize to the one lucky puzzle winner. We’ll soon be rolling out a suite of liquidity mining programs both for Uniswap and for unique Neon District Spinoffs. Stay tuned!

While these buckets were carefully mapped out over the past few weeks, we want to get your opinion. COIN was built by and for the community and your voice is paramount.

If you fancy yourself to be a sleuth, COIN is for you. In the meantime, keep a close eye on the Neon District Discord for all things COIN.

Good luck!

Yours Truly,
COIN ARTIST
