"I'm not a crook..."

WHAT ARE CROOKZ?

Living on the ETH blockchain in a post-$USD metaverse, Crookz is an NFT collective consisting of 9,999 uniquely generated 3D personalities issued by the Nixon Reserve.

In a virtual environment of emerging decentralized currencies, Crookz are a caricatured representation of dubious capitalistic creatures ready to pounce on any advantageous opportunities they encounter within the metaverse.

THE STORY

The artist behind Crookz, known under the alias Nixon, is renowned for creating currency/crypto-inspired street/pop art. His work draws inspiration and aesthetics from modern day pop culture and economic satire using both traditional and digital mediums.

In addition to street culture, Nixon is also incredibly passionate about cryptocurrency and the decentralization possibilities of the future. Not only is there a focus on innovative art, but also a hidden message and a nod to the history that led us here.

In 1971, US President Richard Nixon sealed the fate of the US dollar and what we recognize today as paper currency. By ending the convertibility of the US dollar to gold, Nixon granted unlimited inflationary power to the Federal Reserve, single-handedly setting into motion the inevitable decline of traditional currency as we know it.

When he would later be ousted and forced to resign due to allegations of corruption and espionage, his final parting words would forever be cemented in history.

“I’m not a crook.”

You will be able to mint a Crook directly from our website, with early access before the public sale if whitelisted.

For more information on how you can join the presale, make sure to join our Discord server and read the instructions in the #get-whitelist channel. We will also be hosting giveaways and contests to allow active members of our community to win presale spots. Stay tuned!

The community fund will be used for anything the community votes for. Some examples are: strategic influencers, marketing expenditures for growth, Metaverse integration, fractionalized bluechip NFT purchases, and implementing a utility token.

Gas prices are extremely volatile and can vary depending on the time of day. Presale roles will have 24 hours to mint their Crookz. This way, they can monitor gas prices and mint when it’s the most optimal.

If the gas fees on the planned launch date are too high, the launch will be postponed to allow the community to mint at a more optimal fee.

ROADMAP

How we plan to complete our mission before Roadmap V2

1.) OPERATION INFILTRATE METAVERSE - THE LEAD-UP

Crookz are born. Our President and Artist, Nixon, develops and shapes the Crookz branding, art style, and generative NFT attributes. Our community builds into a nation of unstoppable warriors ready to capitalize. Giveaways, contests and competitions secure whitelist spots, free NFTs, and OG roles to founding citizens.

2.) OPERATION GUERILLA - OUR INTEL SPREADS

An all-out offensive to expand our nation begins. Crookz utilizes high-profile influencers, and other effective grassroots marketing tactics to invade social platforms such as TikTok and Twitter. VIP influencer boxes and supply drops are sent out to key allies. Remember, friends of Nixon are friends of the nation and will help us complete our mission.

3.) OPERATION MINT - THE NIXON RESERVE RISES TO POWER

9,999 Crookz are issued for mint in the form of ERC-721 tokens courtesy of the Nixon Reserve.

Founding citizens and allies of the nation are granted priority access to the vault. The first 200 holders gain access to receive an exclusive physical collectible influencer box.

Allocation of funding and tiered goals are outlined in our mint roadmap.

4.) OPERATION RARITY - CROOKZ LISTED ON RARITY.TOOLS

Nixon sends ambassadors to negotiate a listing of Crookz on rarity.tools. All Crookz are listed and sorted by attributes.

5.) OPERATION LIBERATE - EXPANDING OUR EMPIRE

The citizens of the nation vote to elect representatives (influential figures), and funding is allocated to a marketing budget designed to increase our power.

6.) OPERATION HOLD - REWARDING CITIZENS WITH AIRDROPS

In addition to being part of an extremely exclusive nation, citizens will also benefit from airdropped resupplies and top secret goodies. Remember, retaining your passport is key.

7.) OPERATION HORIZON - EXPANSION OF THE EMPIRE

Nuclear radiation causes mutations, metaverse wearables become fashionable, and new tokens start to take hold of a reformed economy. The nation expands over a new horizon.

This roadmap and its initiatives are in their early stages and are subject to change due to legal or technical constraints. The team is actively allocating research, time, efforts, and funding to innovating ideas.
