A group of four friends locked down in Sydney, Australia, have kicked off the 
latest internet craze, creating the Lazy Lions NFT, an exclusive collection of 
10,000 unique lion characters, selling out in five hours for over 1.5million 
USD.

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a digital asset stored on a blockchain 
digital ledger, technology which to date has typically been associated with 
cryptocurrencies.

This means that the Lazy Lions can be bought and sold, essentially as an 
investment, with the most valuable example to date having traded for over 
US$35,000. 

Lazy Lions is hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, which allows users to build a 
secure public community for a wide variety of digital files, including artwork, 
with purchases made using the Ethereum cryptocurrency.

In this sense, Lazy Lions follows in the footsteps of other NFTs such as 
Cryotopunks and the Bored Apes Yacht Club, with the clean and relatable lion 
designs created from a combination of over 160 possible traits, including 
clothing, mane, expression and more.

Amongst the created NFTs is a selection of highly desirable rarities, too.

Lazy Lions proved to be a hit from the project’s August 7th launch, with the 
system becoming clogged with the high volume of sales experienced.

The venture is now fully subscribed, featuring a community of over 3,000 
different owners.

The Lion was an obvious choice for the team, as Assyrians, they grew up 
surrounded with statues and images of Gilgamesh, with the lion being a constant 
figure. Majestic and powerful, they recognised the pull of the Lion, as well as 
the community aspect of the lion pride. 

The developers then crafted a background story for the Lions, who have become 
rich in the NFT space, and are subsequently living on a private island 
community, roaming free and being lazy, sleeping up to 20 hours a day!

However, that laziness is not to be misunderstood, as with wild lions hunting 
and protecting for its pride, the developers are similarly committed to their 
community.

Another core value of the Lazy Lions is that all owners are kings (or queens); 
no one is better than the others, with respect to be shown between all 
community members.

The swift success of the Lazy Lions is largely due to this community aspect, 
with a Roadmap focussed on giving back to the group, with a strongly supported 
Discord presence at its heart.

Discord, is an internet based communication service featuring instant messaging 
and digital distribution, ideal for the creation of collectives such as Lazy 
Lions.

Also, core to the early popularity of the project is transparency in 
communications with the developers, including a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) 
session and providing and receiving ongoing input and feedback.

This openness also extends back to an exclusive pre-sale opportunity offered to 
prize-winning members in the lead up to the launch, as well as messaging 
surrounding an additional 80 blank NFTs, which were minted during the launch 
system crash and set to be burned.

The Lazy Lions Roadmap features many exclusive features for holders, plus 
rewards for ongoing ownership and participation.

Starting imminently, every month, Lazy Lion holders will receive their share of 
2 per cent of resale royalties in a unique ROARwards Program that recognises 
community engagement and ownership continuation, while additional share points 
can be earned by owners displaying their Lazy Lion on their Twitter profile, 
and also by following other Lazy Lion holders on the platform.

Also kicking off is the Lazy Lions play-to-earn game, offering additional 
community prizes.

Exclusive merchandise is also available to owners, while holders of Lazy Lions 
featuring a to be revealed trait will also be in the running to receive free 
bonus products.

An added extra for holders is The Bungalows, a banner image NFT containing a 
unique, randomly generated private bungalow for each Lazy Lion.
