If you own a season 2 daptor, enter your handle or address here to access the app:
The initial OG mint will contained just 100 raptors. This release contains 5 unique species of raptors modeled off of real species. Each species also contains a rare varient (10% rarity). As a reward for being early, each OG raptor includes an exclusive OG ring. Additionally, the OG mint had a reduced cost of 20 ada per raptor.
Season 2 will launch a new concept of fully on chain, interactive, customizable NFTS. Season 2 introduces 5 new species of owls to the raptors.
While daptors make great standalone NFTs, they also each contain a link to a transparent copy directly in the metadata that can combine with your favorite pfp. This allows all your favorite NFTs to become falconers as demonstrated below! Exact instructions are given in our discord - please reach out for help if needed!
A cardano NFT has a size limit of 16kb (~12 kb before formatting json). This means most on chain NFTs are either pixel art or highly compressed jpegs. However, Dapper Raptors uses a novel approach of storing multiple layers of vector graphics in separate on chain NFTs. This allows the entire collection to have unparalleled on-chain quality. Compare to other on chain projects
Because each layer (And not the full NFT) is on chain, it also reduces the chain bloat that some on chain NFTs have a bad reputation for. The entire on chain library for season two will take up around 1MB of uncompressed data, about the size of an IPFS 5k collection.
Due to the entire NFT being vector driven, it is infinitely scalable (on the app) for massive printer friendly copies being easy to generate. This also allows zooming into specific features or getting closeups typically not possible in an NFT
As each layer is independently stored on chain, cycling through layers is possible, for example trying out different hats for a day out.
They can also be randomized (by the NFT holder!) for infinite possibilities
Each layer and accessory is its own NFT. The Dapper Raptor app automatically loads any accessories in the same wallet as the main NFT and uses those NFTs as the layers made available to cycle and randomize through
Each NFT will be minted with 10 free accessory NFTs - and accessories in the future will be purchasable as standalone NFTs. Additionally any owned layer can be separately sold on any secondary marketplaces. The Daptor token takes this a step further - by reading any owned $daptor in a wallet and automatically generating a coin(s) accessory in copper/silver/gold based on the amount of $daptor in a wallet:

This swallow tailed kite we minted above could befriend a chilled kong, such as this one owned by @BullishAlex
This roadmap is a general guideline to the direction of the project. Phases and timelines subject to change.
A limited 100 daptors were released.
The last daptor was reserved and sold for Hosky.
$daptor token was created and distributed
All OG NFT holders were eligible to claim $daptor
Future airdrops will include new NFTS, but OG NFT holders will remain eligible in future drops as well
We added a discord tip bot that allows tipping and dispersion of the any Cardano native asset.
This tip bot is currently free for any project to use as needed
Season 2 will be arriving soon
Check our discord and twitter for previews/updates
A store/ability to buy new accessories
$daptor specific accessories
While $daptor is mainly a utility token to be used with your daptors, it will be used to vote on the future phases of the project if needed.
1 Trillion tokens have been minted on the cardano blockchain and the policy ID ffe85e...162d32 is locked.
There is currently no mint open.
