KORTRIJK – Three entrepreneurs from the Belgian province of West Flanders have joined forces to create Pig Tales, a post-apocalyptic, fairytale metaverse that allows entrepreneurs and individuals alike to explore the world of Web3 with unique NFTs. It has been a success so far: in a first phase, the 77 available NFTs sold out in less than 10 minutes.

Pig Tales supports Web3 transition

“Web3 is set to fundamentally change the Internet as we know it today. Autonomy and privacy will play an important role in this. Data, assets and identity remain the property of users and do not end up in the hands of big tech companies,” explains co-founder Nikolas Taillieu, CEO of Ballistix.digital.

Pig Tales is a collaboration between real estate agent Benjamin Verkoopt, Ballistix.digital and creative marketing agency GBL Studio. “Our project is not seen in Flanders. Pig Tales is a metaverse delving into the world of Web3 with an initial collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Our goal is to take everyone on a digital journey and inspire them with how Web3 works and what it can do in an illustrative way.”

Generative Profile Image Project

Pig Tales offers 7,777 pig images, each uniquely generated for the buyer to use as their profile picture. “When we developed those illustrations, we were inspired by a nostalgic, post-apocalyptic fairy tale world. The buyer chooses the image that best suits their needs and preferences and acquires a license or rights to sell the work. If, for example, they want to market a beer with that illustration, they can do it”, explains Benjamin Bonny. “And that’s not all, Pig Tales is more than just a bunch of pretty illustrations. It is a new brand with a vibrant and exclusive community.”

Lively and exclusive community

Pig Tales is aimed at both businessmen and individuals. “Payment with Visa and Mastercard makes signing up efficient and frictionless. The NFT holder also has an exclusive ticket to access our community. This private club aims to inspire and inform people of all the possibilities that Web3 has for us. Now we are doing this with digital meetings, but we are also planning some physical events”, continues Pieter Lefevre.

Sold out in 10 minutes

In a first phase, they offered 77 NFTs for sale. “It was a success: we sold them all in less than 10 minutes. In the next phase, which will start on December 1, we plan to sell up to 700 NFTs. Tip for anyone interested: if you respond early, you can choose your own avatar and access all the information in our new metaverse right from the start”, concludes Nikolas Taillieu.
