Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd subsidiary Motorverse Corporation has launched the Torque Squad project - a collection of 8,888 racing avatar NFTs called ‘Torqies’.
Torqie NFTs are generated with individually styled details and intricate hand-drawn artwork to delight motorsport enthusiasts.
The Torque Squad project has partnered with various of the top racers across the world of motorsport, including Juan Pablo Montoya, Joey Logano, Brad Binder, Rene Rast, and Sebastian Montoya.
Grammy nominee Tina Guo and composer Steve Mazzaro, who have worked on music for various major motion pictures including Inception, Dune, Dunkirk, Wonder Woman, Interstellar, No Time To Die, Batman vs Superman, and others, have composed “The Soundtrack to Motorverse”.
Entry to the Motorverse ecosystem
More than just images or profile pictures (PFPs), Torqies offer true utility across multiple areas in both the real and virtual worlds.
Ownership of a Torqie provides entry to the Motorverse ecosystem, which is being integrated with REVV Motorsport and is adopting the REVV Token as its ecosystem utility token.
Additionally, various REVV ecosystem NFTs will be supported in several of the upcoming Motorverse experiences.
