XSTIK: THE Stick Figures are the new cool!
xStik brings something very unique to the crypto space; a definitive approach to Non-Fungible Tokens better known as NFTs, built on XRP Ledger– a super-fast, energy-efficient, and reliable public blockchain led by a global developer community, xStik is the evolution of the current generation NFTs. xStik is lively, artful and flexible Stick Figure with endless possibilities.
Why xStik?
xStik strives to become a world-famous stick figure and community-approved official XRP mascot. xStik offers very interesting and immersive lore backing their project, xStiks are supreme beings of infinite wisdom that were created by the humanoid XeRP Stikenheim in order to save the ecosystem of X.O. Planet and aid superfood production.
The lore itself hints that there can be massive future developments seen in this project which sets apart it from other NFT projects in the Crypto NFT space.
xStik NFTs are not boring they are very different than any other NFTs out there, they are not only artful, lively, and flexible but addictive and visually appealing, with endless possibilities, xStik is also looking forward to collaborations with influencers, actors, celebrities, athletes, and high-end businesses, this just shines a light on the vast scope of this project.
Unlike NFTs on Ethereum blockchain which charges a per-transaction fee of up to $200, xStik is built upon the XRP Ledger that offers super-fast transaction speeds with proven reliability at a fraction of a penny per transaction.
The Real Origin Story
The team wanted to create something that everyone was well acquainted with, a Stick Figure. The team thought that everyone has been drawing stick figures since they were just kids, so why not transform them into NFTs? And the XRP Ledger turned that idea into reality. Stick figures turned into modern-day art, xStiks as individual characters are fun, versatile, and surprising. xStik can be turned into anything, xStik can be a celebrity, athlete, or animal, the possibilities are endless but the primary goal of the project is to represent XRP worldwide as the official mascot. xStik Team is fully doxed, the team has over 40 years of experience in running businesses and leading teams. But it doesn’t just end there, xStik already has a brand ambassador and it is none other than Kevin Campbell, former Premier League player, well known from his time in Arsenal.
$xStik Token
Built upon the same XRP Ledger the $xStik token will be the native currency of the xStik ecosystem, by holding the $xStik Token, the holder will be eligible to receive bonuses for holders distributed by the xStik Drop zones. This will drive an upward price action by inducing competitiveness among the community, the utility of the xStik token is not limited, Game adaptions for the token are also in talks and planned later down the roadmap. The upcoming XLS-20D protocol will enable the $xStik token holder to purchase the xStik NFTs using the native token.
Custom NFT Series
xStik is limitless, the custom NFT series will feature significant partners, celebrities, or affiliates. There are several cards already featured and published- The 5 NFT cards set signed by Kevin Campbell, the official brand ambassador of xSTik, the mentioned set will be auctioned for charity while the team is working on bringing more collaborations and influencers to expand the xStik brand on a global scale.
The Launch
The native token, $xStik came to life on the 9th of December, 2021 with an initial supply of 1 billion $xStik tokens, later on, 50 percent of the total supply, 500 million tokens were airdropped to the community members that set the projects trustline. The project was highly appreciated right from the beginning and upon launch, it piqued a lot of investor crowds as it skyrocketed to an all-time high of $12 million in market capitalization, currently, the market capitalization is holding its own at $7 million which makes it a great entry point before the XLS-20D protocol is implemented into the XRP Ledger.
xStik team consistently focused on delivering what was promised on the Roadmap and secured more than 35k holders.
The Growth of xStik: Marketing done right!
The project met with a lot of organic traction right from the start because of the exclusivity of the concept and the idea behind it, it was only a matter of time and deliverance. YouTuber Ripple Van Winkle noticed the potential that xStik brought to the pre-existing crypto space and covered the project in one of his YouTube videos, the project popularity spread like wildfire after that, word traveled from one chat to another and the numbers skyrocketed on xStik social media as everyone wanted a piece of this concept, this hype also helped the project getting trending on multiple platforms. Currently, xStik is listed on onXRP, Sologenic, XRDOGE Dex, XRP Toolkit, LiveCoinWatch, XRPL coins, and more.
