Driverz Roadmap & Utility

Driverz
6 min readApr 4, 2022

Driverz! The whole team is here today with you. A moment that everyone has been waiting for, the Driverz RoadMap/Utility 2.0. We are all happy with the utility we can deliver to Driverz in the short and long term. Our goal in creating Driverz is to build a very long-term project that will benefit holders in many ways. Indeed, we will see this through the following elements: Airdrops, Charity, Buy Back program, Royalties, Fantasy, Merch, IRL events, Giveaways & Sponsors.

The thing to note here is that although these are some of things we want to do to build the Driverz Brand, we will not be limited to this roadmap only. We want to go above and beyond this. This will happen together as a community. We want to bring community innovations and ideas forward as well on top of the roadmap. We will always be looking out for those strong tech geeks or heavily involved individuals to collaborate with to grow something big here at Driverz.

Overall aim here is to provide access to future collections as they come on flow, provide IRL experiences related to racing (example tickets, tours, community events etc) and build a strong racing community. The goal is to create a brand name behind Driverz.

Giveaways

As part of our short term utility, these giveaways will serve as a way for the community to win some sweet prizes. These will occur based on the primary mint. We will dedicate some prizes at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% minting. This will give the community an incentive for the holders to win something at every stage. This would be our initial way to thank the community for their support.

Airdrops

We are going to have 4 types of airdrops, our goal with airdrops is to create rarity, that is why all airdrops are going to be under 10,000 versions.

· Hold 1+ Driverz: Special airdrop (T4 — Owners)

· Hold 6+ Driverz: Special airdrop (T3 — Pitcrew)

· Hold 13+ Driverz: Special airdrops (T2 — Elite)

· Hold 25+ Driverz: Special airdrops (T1 — Champions)

The collection of all FOUR airdrops will serve as a part of set collection that will have its own rewards (point being airdrops should not be dilution to our NFTs, it should serve to create a sweet scarce collection)

Buy Back program

Every quarter, so FOUR times a year, we will buy Driverz off the Floor. This is our way of showing the community that we believe in our team to create a solid brand together with the community. Our goal with this approach is to use Driverz later for Marketing and Giveaway purposes and provide value to our holders.

Royalties

Royalties are going to be an exclusive item for owners of 25+ Driverz NFT and above. People eligible for this royalty will receive a percentage of sales on the secondary market. We plan to provide 20% of our secondary fees that Driverz will receive as royalty in the secondary marketplace on Gaia. This 20% will be provided to the whole group of 25+ Driverz NFT holders. The distribution will have to be planned and we will provide details on it. In addition, another 25% of our secondary fees that Driverz will receive will flow back into the community in ways to build into utility and marketing among other things for Driverz holders.

Champions & Captains (25+ holders) Payout Schedule: 9/1, 12/1, 3/1, 6/1
* Snapshot will be taken in the previous quarter close to the payout date.

Fantasy Sports

There are going to be three different kinds of Fantasy Sports leagues with different prizes depending on the Fantasy league. Indeed, there is going to be ongoing Fantasy for people who hold a Driverz NFT*.

· Hold 1+ Driverz: Fantasy (T4 — Owners)

· Hold 6+ Driverz: Fantasy (T3 — Pitcrew)

· Hold 13+ Driverz: Fantasy (T2 — Elite)

· Hold 25+ Driverz: Fantasy (T1 — Champions)

* The prizes vary from one fantasy tournament to another.

Captain

There are only 55 captains in our Driverz collection. Captains will be important to the community as they will come with special utility. We will reveal this special utility as we get closer to mint. Holders of these captains will get a royalty of the Driverz fees share in the secondary market. In addition, captains will have their own unique art compared to the rest of the Driverz.

Merch

We will create exclusive Driverz clothes for holders.

· Hold a Driverz: Merch store access, early access to Merch store

· Hold 25+ Driverz: Free Merch to all, early access to Merch store

IRL events

Holder-exclusive events and meetups at events around the world for anyone who owns a Driverz NFT. These can include going to race weekend events, general meetups, Go Kart tournaments and just building a social aspect around the racing community. We also understand there are other sports enthusiasts that may enter our community and we will be there to create something for other sports as well. Overall, primary goal being racing but we are open to connecting with other projects to build fun IRL events.

Sponsor

Two of our long-term goals that we want to achieve will occur together behind the strength of the community we build. We understand this is a monumental task at hand, hence we understand this will take time to happen. These goals include being a sponsor for a racing team or sponsoring during one of the events. In addition to that, we would like to bring the community together to build towards an E-Sports team or push forward community members towards E-Sports scene. Overall, all these objectives aim to increase the visibility of Driverz to reach more fans around the world. The goal being, build a strong brand name behind Driverz.

Charity

We will want to donate to several charities to give back to the community, a value that is very important to us at Driverz. We want to make sports more accessible for children, since all children in the world should have the chance to practice a sport. Sports is more than just physical activity, it allows you to make friends, travel, strengthen physical and mental health etc.

Community

Although the above states things we want to achieve, we also believe that communities coming together can do big things. One of our big examples is LOOT, which is on Ethereum. They were able to bring together individuals with various expertise and ideas to build something strong around the community. We want to promote innovation and ideas to come forward, whether it’s through apps, metaverse or anything we can think of related to racing. Maybe we run competitions and provide the bit of starting fund required for it? We are here to build a long term project and this roadmap again isn’t our limitations and we would like to go beyond it!
