About Us

Welcome to The Laughing Bones Universe, a unique NFT collection created by artists Rengokuyo & Ashe. This collection currently features 250 exclusive 1/1 digital artworks.

Phase 1 of The Laughing Bones Universe consists of 250 premium designs which aims to turn imagination into reality in the form of Laughing Bones designs. Phase 1 is about spreading brand awareness while also forming a strong and supportive community and building a strong base foundation moving into Phase 2 which is a 3,000 Supply of hand-drawn, trait generated Laughing Bones with different Rarities, back-up by a strong lore. Right now we are in the Beta stage or Phase 1, and using these Phase 1 designs to build the hype. Phase 1 designs encompass collaborations, commissions and also personal designs. These designs are true 1/1's with a limited market supply cap and therefore, collaboration and commission designs are forever cemented in our brand.

We believe in delivering high-quality designs for your investment. The NFT's in The Laughing Bones Universe are all authentically hand-drawn using Procreate on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. So, when you purchase these designs, know that each NFT has been crafted with love, effort, and hard work.

We also believe that you should benefit from buying and holding Laughing Bones NFT's. These benefits include commissions, free airdrop NFTs, future physical trading card versions of your NFT shipped to your address, and merchandise. A roadmap will be provided soon, so stay tuned!

Hello there. The name is Senzi.

Revenue Allocation

To ensure the long-term success and sustainability of our project, we’ve devised a thoughtful revenue allocation strategy:

Community Treasury
40% of the revenue will be reserved and staked for the community treasury. Monthly, a small portion of this treasury will be distributed to gold stamp holders. Upon reaching significant milestones, such as completing 250 out of 250 designs, a larger share of the treasury will be allocated to all holders who meet specific criteria. Additionally, all NFTs intended for giveaways, along with any yields and rewards from cross-project collaborations, will also be retained within the community treasury.
TRACK WALLET

Team Allocation
Another 35% of our revenue will be set aside for the team allocation, which is also staked. This allocation is crucial for compensating our team members, ensuring their commitment and motivation. By staking this portion, we maintain liquidity and support the utility of our project's token, which is key for various purposes including rewards distribution, facilitating exchanges, and enabling future use cases for our token. This approach ensures the sustainability and growth of our project by directly supporting those who drive its development and success.
TRACK WALLET

Minting Costs
We will dedicate 10% of our revenue to cover minting costs. This ensures that we can fully address operational fees, such as Solana network fees and other platform expenses, without putting strain on other areas of the project.
TRACK WALLET

Project Growth
Finally, we’ll reserve 15% for project growth. This funding is essential for our marketing efforts, development initiatives, partnerships, and ensuring the overall sustainability of our project. By investing in growth, we aim to expand our community and continuously add new features that enhance the user experience.
