Hello world,

We are inviting all of you to grab a drink, take a seat and enjoy the lecture.

Please pay attention to the thread. Be wise. There might be a glitch in the codex.

Porka Nostra? Porka Nostra!

Porka Nostra is a collection of 9996 hand-made NFTs, right on the Solana Beach.

🥥 Every attribute is being individually designed by our visionary 19 years old artist, Andrea “Fine Hands” Del Cia. The Porka Nostra’s Wise Pigs were living in his mind and are finally brought to life by his magic fingers.

🥥 Our name is inspired by the organized crime clan Cosa Nostra, accompanied by crispy bacon garnish. The greedy pigs have now turned on the good side and are using their family connections to buidl.

🥥 The NFTs are unique, randomized out of 150+ attributes. There are specialties awaiting here too. Hierarchies, names and more. Be ready.

🥥 Moreover, the fine art is not the only smooth thing about the Porka Nostra’s NFTs. We are building utility, community and dApps for new use of case, which will be disclosed in the roadmap. Our two devs will begin building once we are sold out. The blueprint is already done. Every Porka Nostra holder will benefit out of these coming dApps. Utility baby!

🥥 The goal is to share knowledge, build and generate wealth for the greater good. We like to create, experiment and bring to life the utilities of NFTs.

🥥 We are families, we build, we share.

Nice to meet you, he’s a friend of ours.

The Artist — Andrea “Fine-hands” Del Cia, The Michelangelo of metaverse. His imagination and talent have no boundaries. He is also a workaholic, already drew hundreds of sketches and final layers. You will be astonished. A unique mix of styles, colors, backgrounds and attributes to complete our story.

Dev 1 — Mariano “Popeye” Catanazaro — Frontend/backend/Rust/js.node/java you name it, he will do it — Top Spin/Power Shot Federer on keyboard. Power lifter. Running an IT services business while working for a corporation. Mr Robot on protein. Will leave both to BUIDL.

Dev 2 — Raz “Brains” Deecu The copycat of dev 1, besides the company they work for. Exactly, because they raised the same business together. It worked. Now they are moving 100% into blockchain. He knows where the fun is.

Project Lead — Messina “Bam-Bam” Melchiore — Degen since the beginning, administrating a community of 1000+ degens, released two academic papers debating the nature of money and future innovation accelerators and new technologies for blockchain and cryptocurrency in different industries. Left the corporate life some time ago for decentralization. Best decision ever.

The PR Guy — Bobo “The Lucky” Nucky — Corporate Manager. He does things. He secures things. He solves problems. He is that guy.

Let’s Dance!

Earlier this week we stealth launched our website landing page (porkanostra.io) and started collecting feedback about our plans, mission and roadmap from Solana ecosystem’s OGs. In the meanwhile, we have been setting up the Discord channel , tokenomics and whitelist system.

This following section will be split into three paragraphs for a better understanding.

1. Manifesto

🥥 The world has evolved and the crypto followers have joined, establishing families to fight the flawed economic and financial systems. The strategy is to build decentralization. Bring power back to the people.

🥥 The order was established by the Bitcoinese who claim to reign the lead arguing that they are the originals, the first cryptographers to pursue decentralization for the greater good.

🥥 However, time passed and the other families have emerged, observing the Bitcoinese weaknesses.

🥥 Etherano, Solacci, Avalancinni, Fantomana, El’Rondo, have all upgraded trying to solve the trilemma puzzle, an artifact that unlocks the knowledge and means to establish a new world order in the hands of the people.

🥥 Unfortunately, the families are forgetting what they are standing for and began to race against each other, dividing the communities instead of uniting them under a sole goal.

🥥 The families will be tested on a game theory basis, pushing them to cooperation and collaboration for the greatest cause. Freedom and decentralization.

🥥 Are the families going to work together to bring the Satoshi’s vision to life or will they fight for sole power? Did the world learn something or are we still greedy pigs looking for the biggest bite? Only time will tell. Until then, we are calling all the Wise Pigs to unite on the Solana Beach. It’s time to change the game. It’s time to BUIDL.

🥥 Be early, be ready, be wise!
