Final Rarity Count:
A final analysis of Monarch ranking in rarity traits will be conducted via rarity tools
Extended Portal:
An online gallery section with individual display pages for each Monarch will be made available to browse on the Monarchs homepage.
NFT Accelerator:
The Monarchs team will redistribute a portion of the funds from the sale to formally launch Decentralized Beauty, an initiative to onboard, fund, incubate, and mentor underrepresented artists who have been systemically and artistically disadvantaged or excluded from participating in the Web3 ecosystem. All Monarch holders will enjoy exclusive benefits from this effort. More details to come.
