Some next-generation physical comic books will contain NFCs with ETH keypairs and NFTs that will harmonize with Web 3.0. NFCs refer to near-field communication devices, used in applications like tap-and-go payment cards. The covers of each comic will also be available as NFTs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to PR1MAL, This is also a particular goal of ENCODE Graphics  the innovative building of bridges between physical works and the new digital possibilities of the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The vision of creating comics that represent the 21st century seems to be supported by plans for an exclusive set of 21 founder tokens. The tokens will be like a contract for 3 years. Holders will receive a lot for what they pay, digital items and analog items: all issues and variants, including a special founder variant. Plus partial potential movie rights, limited Founder NFTs, a physical printed yearbook after one year, prints, original art, etcetera, PR1MAL lists in addition to other swag. There are also plans for a trading card <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> called CITADELS featuring characters from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2084<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7653\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7653 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AVA-FROST-and-101-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AVA FROST with 101<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With so many plans, however, it is worth questioning if launching two recurring publications in such a short time may prove too large of a bite to chew. Despite the workload, PR1MAL says that Everything is on schedule and that Issue #2 of both comics is being worked on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If ENCODE Graphics<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">does become a success to the point that its characters become representative of the global epic of crypto, the possibilities are quite considerable. In five years, PR1MAL hopes to expand <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2084 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to such an extent that it would even be ripe for a film adaptation. There is also the potential of integrating the storyline with the actual Metaverse somehow, using platforms like Decentraland or Cryptovoxels to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PR1MAL concludes that: ENCODE guarantees the professionalism of the old publishers but wants to live up to the symbols of CryptoArt and the Metaverse with new technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
