The ALF embodies the NFT/Crypto explorer in us all.
## **TLDR;** **Mint Info** Chain: Solana\ Date: December 13th 6:00pm (1800) UTC\ WL mint: 3 SOL \ Public Mint: 3.5 SOL \ Supply: 2222\ \ **Launchpad:** Vtopia powered by Simpl3r

{% hint style="danger" %} Please Do Your Own Research (D.Y.O.R.) before deciding to participate in this project. This document is not intended to contain financial advice. The information provided in this document is for your education about our group and intent. {% endhint %} # ALF NFT Opportunity ### Mission To help explorers of the Cryptoverse and Web3 gain exposure to a wider range of projects and products than any single explorer can hope to find on their own.
### Project For the last 2+ years, the Aephia community has been actively trading within the Solana ecosystem, along with being early investors on (& in) other blockchains. This project grew from a need to formalize our investment capabilities and establish ourselves as a powerful investment group on the blockchain. Given our roots, we expect the majority of holders to be Aephians. However, we are extending the opportunity to join our investment club to the wider Star Atlas community and selected NFT communities. This is not a mint-and-flip project; we seek like-minded investors with a medium-to-long investment view and want to diversify their exposure to web3 / blockchain. With our combined strength, we will become a formidable investment group - AEPs Stronger Together! The ALF NFT collection will be launched on the Solana Blockchain. Being an ALF NFT holder will provide you with on-chain access to exclusive investment opportunities; our investment club will offer an **Actively Managed Treasury**, **NFT WL / Token IDO Opportunities**, and **Alpha Access** to our team/community for discussion, education, and informational resources. (See [Utility](/utility/utility-overview)) Going forward, the *NFTs & Trading* section of the Aephia discord will be gated behind the ALF NFT. # Art A space career themed NFT collection ### To the explorer in us all. If you are here now, reading this, you are an Explorer. You are in search of something, and we've been there because we are explorers too. This collection features our playful interpretation of the various ways we may choose to customize our pets and ourselves, in the future. The art for our NFT collection is based upon Aephia's Discord mascot *Tugi* (used with permission from Star Atlas). Tugi is based on one of Star Atlas' early discarded concept designs for the popular *Tigu* pet.\ \ We hope you will enjoy our unique and diverse collection, and identify with the characters - either as a PFP to represent yourself in Web3, or as mementos of your investment journey with us.
#### 1:1 Art 10 ALF 1:1 NFT's will be part of the random mint process so that everyone has the same proportional odds of minting one of these anomalous NFTs. \ \ In addition to featuring unique attributes and aesthetic, each 1:1 will be entitled to receive 3x the non-1:1 Holder Rewards distribution. # Attribute Rarity Below is the distribution of each attribute within the ALF collection.

# Mint Proceeds Treasury Creation #### Mint Proceeds **100% of the net\* proceeds from minting the collection will be directed into the ALF Treasury.** The Treasury will be governed by The ALF Core Team, until such time that a full-member DAO has been established. \*Net refers to total mint proceeds minus pre-sale and mint platform costs In addition to the funds from mint, some ALF NFTs will go to the ALF Treasury. The treasury-owned NFTs will be used to drive value for the entire project and will benefit all holders.
**Team Rewards** We believe that it’s important to the project’s success to align team member incentives to that of the project; hence, none of the mint proceeds will go to team member remuneration. Instead, a small number of ALF NFTs will be reserved for the team and the Aephia Treasury. # ALF Team We have assembled a truly remarkable team to support the ALF community and build holder value. \ This team's knowledge, expertise, and engagement rivals the most exclusive and pricey communities. Available to you by holding an ALF NFT.

They have gained the trust and respect of Aephians through providing invaluable insight into NFT and Crypto markets over the last 2+ years. This will allow ALF NFT holders to leverage first-class NFT/Crypto investment management, alleviating the need to directly manage their own portfolios (along with the time-consuming research, whitelisting, minting & trading involved). We believe that we are very well positioned to capitalize on the current market conditions. Now is an opportune time to invest with an experienced investment team!\
### Allocation Cap for Invested Assets by Category

Target Investment Portfolio Breakdown (Average).

{% hint style="warning" %} Disclaimer: All allocation percentages and investment categories are variable based on ALF Investment Team’s market analysis and market outlook. These numbers are strictly true as of date/time of last update only. For a more recent breakdown please check our Holder Resources (post-mint). {% endhint %} # Revenue Allocation Community Driven and Sustainability Focused We created a Revenue Allocation framework that we believe will allow the ALF Treasury to not only thrive in the near term, but to continue to grow and expand into the future. ### Revenue Allocation Model
Additionally, ALL royalties will flow directly to the ALF Treasury, benefiting all holders.
### 80% of the value created will directly benefit ALF Holders You read that right! * 50% of the Revenue will be retained and re-invested back into the Treasury, benefiting all holders proportionally. * 30% of all Revenue will go directly back to holders through [Reward Airdrops](/utility/holder-rewards). ### **The other 20%** The Team’s goal has been to create a remuneration structure that ties their interests directly to those of the NFT holders. To this end, the only inflows to the Team will come from our collective success. #### **Operational Costs** 10% of revenue earned will be used by The Team to maintain ALF, including: * ALF Management Team (The Team) Compensation * Alpha Gatherer Services * Moderators * Community Managers * Hosting (website, bots, etc) * Any other Team directed activities #### **Compensation** 10% of the revenue earned will be used to compensate the ALF investment team. This means that their remuneration is not only directly correlated to profit, but the team will not be paid unless a profit is made. {% hint style="info" %} The ability to offer any Holder distributions requires the team to create value post-mint. While it is our full intention to offer consistent and meaningful distributions, distributions are NOT guaranteed. {% endhint %} # Holder Rewards Airdrop Program Our Revenue Allocation model aims to create a consistent Holder Airdrop program that adds value to those who meet our snapshot requirements. \ \ This decision will be finalized with community discussion and polling, post mint. Below is a rough outline of where we think we'll end up. \
### **Holder Rewards Qualifications** Merely owning an NFT won't be enough to qualify for Holder Rewards. We plan to set up some achievable and easy-to-understand requirements. The idea here is not to make this overly restrictive; it is really meant as a simple check for intent. **Requirements:** * NFTs must be unlisted * Royalties must have been *paid* * NFTs must be *staked* for a minimum of 15-days prior to airdrop date. (Staking site announced post-mint) ### When will Rewards be distributed? First and foremost, Holder Rewards Distributions are not a guarantee. The ability to offer these is solely dependent on the performance of our investments. The ALF Management Team wants each and every airdrop to be meaningful and impactful. In order to achieve this, we will set a Minimum Distribution Target, which is the minimum amount received by a single NFT holder. We won't be distributing rewards before this target is reached. Our goal is to have a **large majority of qualifying wallets** receive airdrops of at least our Minimum Distribution Target. \ \ A dashboard on the ALF website will show targets, expected airdrops, and airdrop history. # Alpha Services Spreading the \[AEP] discord tag throughout Web3 projects ### ALF Explorers Our private community has grown passively, through word of mouth and genuine engagement with other communities. As a result, not only is the \[AEP] tag visible across the Discord-verse, but our members are also seen as high-quality additions to servers. With this intentional expansion of our community, that presence will continue to permeate the space and offer our holders even more access.
We've all been in servers that ping you endlessly to shill some random project you've never heard of and don't care about. We promise that you won't have to continue looking for new ways to mute our channels. \ For our engaged and interested holders, a single role will be pinged for Alpha: nft-degen.
What we will do is offer a collaborative, informative, and at-will collection of channels that allow members to explore the vast knowledge of our teams and their peers. Our community has always been driven by its members, which has allowed us to thrive as a whole. \ The speed at which our community spreads knowledge is what has made these \[previously regarded as] *side channels* some of the most active and helpful chats many of us have experienced. ### **Alpha Services** As a holder, you will get exclusive access to our NFT Alpha group, which includes: * Access to projects through collaborations and events * Access to private sales * Access to Whitelist opportunities (higher chance of getting WL, based on the quantity held & attributes of your NFTs) * Access to our Investment Team through private holder chat, available for discussions on Projects, Tokens, and trading
Notable Pre-Sale/WL Opportunities Obtained Aephia’s Alpha group (AEP) has celebrated many good investments and trades over the past few months, including pre-sale and WL access for some of the top mints on Solana and Eth: * **Myria (03-2022)** Entry: private node sale Aephia joined the private node sale that Maria had opened up to some investment groups. Within a week members raised over $800k worth in ETH, which netted us a little over 100 nodes. * GenesysGo SSC * Portals * Okay Bears * Metame * Vtopia * Honeyland * Mad Lads * Azra * SVPLY CHVN * Elixir * Sentries * Smyths * Y00ts
# WL Gamification Details will be announced post mint. #### Gamification of Whitelist We have created a thoughtful WL allocation model that we know our community will appreciate. It features buffs for both total ALF NFTs held and specific attributes on those ALFs. More details on this will be released post mint!\ \ While we build an automated system for this, WL allocations will be raffled through Subber instead, with each NFT held granting 1 ticket and additional bonus tickets given based on total Quantity Held.
{% hint style="info" %} This mechanism will never apply to the [Holder Rewards](/utility/holder-rewards) program allocations. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} May not apply to all WL raffles (e.g. FCFS, Time Based, Collaboration Negotiated Allocations). {% endhint %}
Community Question Should these effects be non-linear? (Quantity and Attribute affect each other) Too OP? \ Maybe Higher number of the two boosts? What do you think is the ideal setup?\ \ Trying to gain the NFT-Explorer role to enter the WL raffles? Debate this topic in alf-chat for a chance to WL.
# Venture Capital Opportunities Post mint, the full analysis process will be shared with holders. Below is an overview of the review criteria that will be used by the ALF Investment Team. \
#### **Key Metrics for Crypto Investments** **Tokenomics:** \ -Details Omitted-\ Tokenomics is crucial, yet often misunderstood. Many focus on the token allocation for the team instead of the valuation they are paying for their tokens. It is essential to delve into these numbers so that you know what you are actually paying for your tokens. That way you can compare it with similar projects that are already live. **Fundamentals and Usecase:** \ -Details Omitted- **Hype/Popularity:** \ -Details Omitted- **Vesting:** \ -Details Omitted- **Team:** \ -Details Omitted- **Backers:** \ -Details Omitted-
On top of this, there are other metrics like Legal and regulatory compliance, partnerships and collaborations, roadmap and progress etc.etc.
**Example:** An example of past AEP investment strength is the $800k Myria Nodes pre-sale purchase by Aephians in 2022. This opportunity was brought to Aephia by member Tykken's venture capital network. Aephians sent their ETH to Tykken over a period of several weeks, fully based on trust, without any multi-sig wallet or governance setup. Tykken managed the purchase and payment on behalf of Aephia, which we would not have been able to participate in as individuals. It all worked out well, and is a testimony to the trust that Aephians have developed with each other over the years. Many more such early opportunities will be available to ALF holders, extending beyond Solana. # Official Links #### Website [https://aeplife.io](https://aeplife.io/) #### Staking #### Twitter [https://x.com/AEPLifeForm](https://twitter.com/AEPlifeform) #### Discord **Secondary Listings:**\ [Tensor ](https://www.tensor.trade/trade/aep_life_form?slug=393d612e-136e-402f-afe4-8c9d486e143b)\ [Magic Eden](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/aep-life) # FAQ (WIP) **Q: Will an ALF NFT be mandatory to retain access to Aephia?** A: No, although sharing a common discord, you do not need to be an ALF holder to access Aephia (and vice versa) **Q: Will you be investing in Star Atlas assets?** A: Only if the Investment Team deems it a worthy investment. ALF holder value will be the primary decision factor. Opportunities to buy ships for scholarships or production facilities could become lucrative if the Star Atlas economy thrives. **Q: Will the Investment Team invest in assets outside of crypto?** A: No, the focus will be solely on blockchain assets. This will include stablecoins, less risky assets, and hedging (both directions) with a strong focus on risk management. **Q: What risk profile will the investments take?** A: See [Investment Management](/utility/investment-management)for details. The Investment Team will focus on long-term capital preservation and sustainable revenue. The target asset allocation will only act as a cap; it does not mean that all funds will be fully deployed, which is particularly important during bear markets. **Q: Will the ALF Treasury invest in NFTs on the secondary market?** A: Yes, however, these will focus on proven "blue chips" for specific purposes (e.g., AMMs or passive income). # The NFT Explorers, Origins ### Aephia Aephia Industries opened its doors on July 18th, 2021, as one of the first guilds for the upcoming Play & Own, space-based MMO, **Star Atlas**. Since then, it has become home to many gamers and crypto enthusiasts who bonded over Star Atlas. Though every new member of the Star Atlas community knows that the game will take years to develop, Aephia continues to draw in new members daily. Aephia provides a full suite of resources, tools, and information to its members, all for free. It’s a community that’s been bootstrapped by the group of individuals, working together. Within the “Any topic” Cantina channel, ask any question and get a great answer. When you bring this many talented, genuine, and forward-looking individuals together, sometimes, when the timing is right, magic can happen. **And magic did happen.** #### The \[AEP] tag When Star Atlas was launched, it quickly appeared on the radars of thousands of crypto enthusiasts. With Aephia Industries being one of the first guilds to set up shop, it comes as no surprise that Aephia has a very strong core of NFT/Crypto traders and investors. Due to the gaming focus of Aephia, a natural step was adding our "Clan Tag" to discord (We all remember adding our Clan Tags before jumping in a match with friends). While waiting for the development of Star Atlas modules, a team of Alpha Gatherers, Collab Managers, and Investment Specialists formed through collaboration and peer support. Their shared enjoyment of being the first to find that next great NFT/Crypto/Web3 project and sharing that find with friends is what led us here. Fast forward a year and a half, and Aephia’s Alpha group has built up quite a reputation. Many within the group are avid gamers with TradeFi and Art Collector expertise. This led to the \[AEP] tag spreading beyond the Star Atlas ecosystem and into countless servers. When an \[AEP] joins a project for the first time, it is commonplace to find other \[AEP] tag users already there. Our tag has become the calling card of positive and informed community involvement. # Lore In the Solana Metaverse, explorers and traders alike were always on the lookout for the next big investment opportunity. It was a world where fortunes were made and lost in the blink of an eye, and those who were not quick enough to adapt were often left behind. That was where the Autonomous Exploration Pet, or AEP for short, came in. Designed and genetically engineered by a team of top scientists, the AEP was a highly sought-after asset among the traders and explorers of the Solana Metaverse. Its primary function was to seek out new investment opportunities in the ever-evolving world of crypto-currencies and send back encrypted messages to its holders, alerting them of any newly discovered projects or ventures. The AEP was modeled after the prototype, Tugi, a seeker droid that had been used to locate the elusive metaversal Alpha. However, with the addition of improved tooling, the AEP was now able to participate in a much wider set of uses. Its abilities had been enhanced to include advanced algorithms for analyzing market trends and identifying investment opportunities, as well as the ability to negotiate partnerships and secure spots for its members in exclusive projects. For one particular trader, a man named Alfred, the AEP had become an indispensable asset. Alfred had been a part of the Solana Metaverse for years, and in that time, he had seen fortunes rise and fall, but he had always managed to stay ahead of the curve. With the help of the AEP, Alfred had access to the latest investment opportunities, often before they even hit the market. It was a typical day for Alfred when he received a notification from the AEP. He was in the middle of a meeting with a group of investors, but he couldn't resist checking the message. The AEP had discovered a new project in the cryptocurrency space that looked promising, and it was offering a limited number of spots for early investors. Alfred knew that this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. He excused himself from the meeting and immediately logged into his account to check out the project. The more he read, the more excited he became. It was a revolutionary new platform that promised to change the way people interacted with cryptocurrencies, and it had already garnered interest from some of the biggest names in the industry. Alfred knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to secure a spot in this project. He contacted the AEP and instructed it to use its negotiating skills to secure a spot for him. The AEP got to work, and within a few hours, Alfred received a message confirming that he had been accepted into the project. Over the next few weeks, Alfred watched as the project grew and developed. He was amazed at the progress that was being made, and he knew that he had made the right decision in investing early. The AEP continued to keep him updated on the project's progress, and Alfred felt a sense of pride knowing that he had been a part of something so revolutionary. As time passed, Alfred began to notice that more and more traders were using the AEP to gain an edge in the market. The AEP had become a valuable asset to those who were serious about making money in the Solana Metaverse. It had a reputation for discovering the best investment opportunities, and traders were willing to pay a premium to gain access to its services. Alfred knew that he had been lucky to be one of the first to use the AEP, but he also knew that he had to stay ahead of the curve. He continued to work closely with the AEP, exploring new investment opportunities and discovering new ways to make money in the ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies. For Alfred, the AEP had become more than just an asset. It was a partner, a friend # DAO (Future) Once the project has reached a level of maturity in process and holder community, the intention is to hand over the governance to an ALF DAO. Until then, the ALF holder community will be consulted through feedback polls, while day-to-day decisions will be made by the core team. We expect this to be the status quo for at least the first year post mint but expect a DAO to be established prior to our second anniversary. \
**Why not establish the DAO immediately?** We expect that early post-mint, our process will change frequently as we formalize our internal procedures and controls. In the formative months just after mint, the team will need the freedom to adjust quickly as we identify, test, and deploy tools and resources. \ We also want to build the structure of our DAO with the input of the ALF community, including the setting of boundaries between the Operations Team, Investment Team, and DAO. Through polls, community engagement, and discussions we hope to build a sustainable set of procedures that allows all parts of our project to operate effectively, efficiently, and securely. \ Long term a DAO is 100% going to happen though. I don't think any of us would disagree that a self-sustaining, healthy, and engaged DAO is the vision. This would also include things like published rules/policies, internal procedures, and on-chain programs to automate/protect some functions. # Pre-Sales {% hint style="warning" %} Update: Pre-Sales CLOSED {% endhint %} Pre-Sales are available to early investors through various events within the Aephia discord and exclusive community partnerships. Special discounts are available for bulk purchases of 10 pre-sale NFTs [Mint Details](/alf-nft/mint-details) Random NFTs will be airdropped to pre-sale holders immediately post-mint. # WhiteList and Collaborations ### WL Aephians All Aephians who have the *2nd Anniversary* Discord role will be eligible to participate in the whitelist role assignment process, through Subber. If you don't have the 2nd Anniversary role, don't fret! There will be opportunities to gain whitelist; make sure you have the @NFT Degen (Announcements) role to not miss out on those!\ \ One of the ways in which you can get whitelisted is through referrals from other Aephians. Having the right type of holders for ALF is important, and there is no better way than through recommendations from our current active members. To enable this we created the Friends and Family Referral Process.
Friends and Family Referral Process Some of the earliest feedback we got from Aephian polls was that members want to be able to invite their F\&F. Many of you know people who want to invest in blockchain and NFTs and see this as a way to bring them in. We heard you.\ \ Every @Pioneer 2021 role holder will be able to invite up to 2 persons. \ Every @2nd Anniversary role holder will be able to invite 1 person. \ F\&F Referrals will obtain the @F\&F Explorer role. \ \ The F\&F Referral role is **NOT** a WL role.\ Your F\&F will have a dedicated WL role assignment process through [Subber](https://www.subber.xyz/). \ When the sign-up process launches, we will @ ping the role in ⁠our 📢*alf-announcements*. channel
### WL Collaborations A small number of WL spots will be made available through collaborations with Star Atlas and NFT communities. Please contact @TomQH\_ on X or @TomQH on Discord for further details. There will also be opportunities to win WL spots through interacting with us on Discord. Asking questions about the whitepaper, providing feedback, and sharing your investment knowledge are good ways to earn a spot. We will be on the lookout for like-minded explorers to join our close-knit community.
Preparing for WL Our whitelist (WL) tool is [Subber.xyz](https://www.subber.xyz/aep)\ We have found their product to be secure, easy to use, and reliable. \ Create an account and get comfortable before you need it. Depending on when you're reading this, our WL events may require speed. \ \ Follow ALF on X @[AEPLifeForm](https://twitter.com/AEPLifeForm)
