A lot of people think of an NFT as simply "digital art" - and our NFTs are indeed beautiful pieces of art created by professional digital artists from Myanmar. Everyone who owns a 3 Finger Salute NFT will become a member of our exclusive DAO, will receive future NFTs for free and gain exclusive early access to our upcoming Metaverse (phase 2). We'll also look to partner with other projects and all our DAO members will have exclusive access to those collaborations.

3 Finger Salute NFT is a generative NFT project. Our goal is to build a community to support democracy and digital artists in Myanmar. We are immediately donating 60% of mint fees to organizations in Myanmar. Remaining funds will be used to compensate the team working on the project and cover associated admin costs. 100% of royalty fees and any profits left over after building out the Metaverse will also be donated (voted on by DAO).

The 3 Finger Salute originated in the film The Hunger Games and has been adopted by pro-democracy movements primarily in Asia (Hong Kong, Thailand and Myanmar, among others). Just weeks after the coup, Myanmar’s Ambassador to the UN bravely took the floor, vowing “We will fight for a government which is of the people, by the people, for the people” before showing the 3 Finger Salute in solidarity with his fellow countrymen and countrywomen."

60% of all mint fees will be deposited directly at mint (via smart contract) to:
- NUG's Ministry of Health (MOH)

40% of mint fees are allocated for development - including work to date plus building a "Metaverse." We will plan the scope of Metaverse build based on the funds raised, any funds remaining at the end of the project will be donated to local organizations. In the event we do not sell out and feel that we have not raised enough to build a Metaverse, we will donate all funds left, minus any project costs to date.

We are a collective of filmmakers and digital artists specializing in 2D and 3D design. At this time in Myanmar, people from the creative community - artists, celebrities, actors, filmmakers, musicians etc. have been placed on Junta Blacklists for arrest. The Junta is doing everything they can to isolate the country and control the narrative, limiting internet access and shutting down all legitimate media and journalism. So at this time it is very dangerous for our team to reveal ourselves.

We know that trust is crucial in building our community and we are a certified official fundraiser of CRPH OFP program. Certification required application, multiple interviews, presentation of our project and doxxing (including providing passport copy).

The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) is a Myanmar legislative body, representing a group of National League for Democracy lawmakers and members of parliament ousted in the 2021 Myanmar coup d’etat. The CRPH established the Official Fundraisers Program (OFP) in April 2021, which helps connect various Myanmar fundraisers around the world to streamline donation collections and to effectively distribute funds to people in Myanmar. The OFP fundraisers interact with donors and fund recipients globally, collecting funds and sending humanitarian assistance to Myanmar directly.

Explore a space inspired by the beautiful landscapes and unique culture of Myanmar, including a virtual art gallery where users can explore Myanmar art in a virtual world. 

The last military coup occurred in 1962 and was followed by nearly 60 years of military rule. During that time Myanmar went from a shining star in Southeast Asia to one of the poorest countries in the world. The Junta lined their own pockets with money from projects meant to benefit the country, while their people starved and plunged into poverty. Around 2013, the military announced a move to a more democratic government, even though they would still retain some power. They held the first democratic elections in 2015, won in a landslide by the National League for Democracy (NLD) party. Subsequently, during the period from 2013 - 2021, Myanmar experienced explosive growth and progress. 

In the 2020 elections, the governing parties won another landslide election, but the military had other plans. If they couldn’t legitimately win elections they decided they would just take over the government by force. So on February 1, the day the newly elected officials were set to take office, the military staged a coup, arresting and detaining officials under the dark of night. The people immediately rose up in peaceful protest, only to be met with brute force from a well-armed military. 

1 year after the coup, the people continue to resist the illegitimate Junta, especially now that we have experienced freedom and economic prosperity. We refuse to go back to the Dark Days of military rule.

3 Finger Salute social media will be used to actively engage the community in every stage of our development, it will also serve as a medium for community members to rally around the project in terms of voting, communicating with the team and other holders. We also plan future NFT drops, some free! and all holders will be prioritized for pre-sale whitelists. We are building an amazing Myanmar-themed Metaverse and all holders will have exclusive access to our beta release.
