SegMint - Special Edition
Hey there, SegMint Community!
We've got some exciting news to share about the upcoming launch of the SegMint platform in Q1 of 2024. Get ready for an onboarding strategy like never before!
We're all about keeping things secure in the world of web3 interactions, so our security-centric features have got you covered. But here's the real kicker: our innovative 'Lock & Key' model for creating SegMint keys is going to blow your mind. It's a whole new way of sharing ownership and building an awesome community vibe.
But hold up, that's not all! We know that to truly succeed, SegMint needs to be the kind of place you can't stay away from. We want it to be your daily go-to destination.
That's why we've come up with a gamified onboarding experience that's not only going to make SegMint a viable business, but also a ton of fun! Who says business and pleasure can't go hand in hand?
In this message, we'll spill the beans on:
The reasons behind our decision to go the gamified route.
A design that's both fresh and retro, giving you all the feels of nostalgia and satisfaction.
The exciting components of the platform that'll take your SegMint experience to the next level.
Strategic onboarding - The Platform and The Game
Alright, buckle up for a wild ride and let’s dive into our onboarding strategy and the rationale behind it.
Let's talk about the Blur.io model.
Despite all the chatter about floor price volatility and airdrop farming, we can't deny that Blur nailed their onboarding and grabbed everyone's attention. Let's focus on their successes!
They lured users in with FREE rewards. Who doesn't love a good freebie?
They took us on a nostalgic trip with their Retro-Atari-like graphics and catchy tunes. It was like opening up a care package that made us all smile.
To keep things interesting, they used seasons to educate users about new features while driving the platform's success. Smart move, right?
They were agile and responsive to early feedback, giving them an edge over the big players in the market. Tactical and nimble, they were.
Now, let's shift gears and talk about another game-changer, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK). This game has already earned its spot among the greatest of all time.
Want to know why?
One of the reasons for their success lies in their exceptional onboarding experience that caters to both seasoned gamers and newcomers. They expertly designed every aspect, from the vicinity near the Temple of Time to the shrines focused on tutorials, ensuring that players never experienced a sense of being entirely lost. The game achieved a flawless equilibrium between providing challenges and rewarding players, resulting in an immersive and satisfying gameplay experience.
So, here's the deal: SegMint is taking inspiration from these pioneers to create something truly special. We're bringing the fun back to the internet, whether it's web2 or web3.
📱There is Something Special About 8-bit
While Blur embraced the design elements of late 70s and 80s games, SegMint takes a leap forward to the early 90s, bringing back memories of your early Windows and AOL experiences.
Take a sneak peek at our UX design in progress. Keep in mind that it's not the final version, but the gamified elements are meant to make you feel like it's more than just another website. Check out the Adventurer's Outpost at the top.
Embrace the Power of Pixels:
CryptoPunks, making their debut in 2017, still reign supreme as the top collection in terms of volume. These PFPs hold immense value as art pieces and online identities. Despite the recent hype around generative AI, new projects continue to embrace the timeless art of 8-bit, which was pioneered by the CryptoPunks.
For the SegMint NFT Collection, we are working on some fantastic pixel art. Our FREE onboarding NFT will be animated and evolve over time as you earn XP, complete quests, and level up your character! Now, let's unpack that and dive deeper into what it means.
Components of the Experience - This is the idea:
🆓Claim a “Free” Onboarding NFT - Once you've completed the setup process and created your profile, you'll be eligible to claim your very own NFT. These NFTs represent various pixelated adventure characters, each with its own rarity based on when you complete the onboarding process.
ALPHA: The earlier you can compete and verify your profile, the more rare of NFT type that you acquire.
🗻Adventurer type - These adventurer NFTs are more than just pixelated characters. They come with exciting bonuses and multipliers that are specific to their rarity, making each class or type of adventurer truly unique within the game.
📈XP System - Your adventurer will accrue Experience Points (XP) by engaging in specific activities on the platform. In the early stages, these interactions will be tied to onboarding exercises and tutorials, just like the recent Zelda game that required you to acquire the "Ultra-hand" ability before leaving the introductory area. Similarly, your SegMint adventurer will need to level up by earning XP to unlock new features and take on thrilling quests.
POAP image from SegMint beta test 🎚️Leveling system - As you earn XP, you'll progress through different levels, with each level requiring specific amounts of earned XP. But that's not all! At certain milestone levels, your character's appearance will change, giving you a visual transformation that reflects your growth. With each level-up, you'll also gain access to more challenging quests and exciting features. It's a journey of continuous improvement!
🏆Leaderboard and rewards - As you progress and reach higher levels, you'll find that the gamified elements and long-term incentives become even more rewarding. Challenge yourself, surpass others, and claim your spot among the top adventurers!

Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, or a store of value, but it does not have legal tender status. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes exchanged for U.S. dollars or other currencies around the world, but they are not generally backed or supported by any government or central bank. Their value is completely derived by market forces of supply and demand, and they are more volatile than traditional currencies. The value of cryptocurrency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular cryptocurrency should the market for that cryptocurrency disappear. Cryptocurrencies are not covered by either FDIC or SIPC insurance. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of cryptocurrency.
Investing in cryptocurrencies comes with a number of risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing. There is no assurance that a person who accepts a cryptocurrency as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
Investors should conduct extensive research into the legitimacy of each individual cryptocurrency, including its platform, before investing. The features, functions, characteristics, operation, use and other properties of the specific cryptocurrency may be complex, technical, or difficult to understand or evaluate. The cryptocurrency may be vulnerable to attacks on the security, integrity or operation, including attacks using computing power sufficient to overwhelm the normal operation of the cryptocurrency’s blockchain or other underlying technology. Some cryptocurrency transactions will be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that a transaction may have been initiated.
· Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication and willingness to bear the risks of an investment and a potential total loss of their entire investment in cryptocurrency.
· An investment in cryptocurrency is not suitable or desirable for all investors.
· Cryptocurrency has limited operating history or performance.
· Fees and expenses associated with a cryptocurrency investment may be substantial.
There may be risks posed by the lack of regulation for cryptocurrencies and any future regulatory developments could affect the viability and expansion of the use of cryptocurrencies. Investors should conduct extensive research before investing in cryptocurrencies.
Information provided by SegMint is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as financial, tax or legal advice. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell an interest in cryptocurrencies.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. As with any investment strategy, there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met and investors may lose money. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

INVESTMENT RISKS
There are risks associated with investing in securities. Investing in stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, and money market funds involve risk of loss. Loss of principal is possible. Some high-risk investments may use leverage, which will accentuate gains & losses. Foreign investing involves special risks, including a greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. A security’s or a firm’s past investment performance is not a guarantee or predictor of future investment performance.
