Happy New Year, #NachoNation! As we charge into 2025, we’re carrying forward the incredible momentum we’ve built together. This year is shaping up to be a defining moment for #NachotheKat and everyone involved. Here’s a detailed look at our journey and the exciting road ahead. Reflecting on 2024 2024 marked the birth of #Nacho. From our inception in May to our official launch on June 30th, we transformed an ambitious idea into a thriving reality. Here’s what we accomplished in just over six months: - Built from scratch, turning a vision into a project that resonated across the crypto community. - Listed on 9 exchanges, expanding accessibility and liquidity in record time. - Delivered on critical roadmap milestones that established long-term revenue streams, setting a strong foundation for growth. Even in our infancy, we fostered meaningful connections. Partners, contributors, and supporters became pillars of NachoNation. These relationships have not only fueled our progress but also created a vibrant, united community that’s redefining what’s possible in crypto. Where We Stand Today The crypto market has tested us, but $NACHO has emerged stronger and ready to seize opportunities. Let’s take stock of what makes our current position so powerful: - Kaspa’s Tier 1 Exchange Listings on the Horizon: While these listings are primarily for Kaspa, their success will create ripples that benefit Nacho holders and the entire ecosystem. - Nacho’s Proven Growth: With over 17,500 holders, Nacho’s community continues to expand, showcasing both resilience and enthusiasm. - Exceptional Holder Confidence: Over 30% of all minters have held their positions without withdrawing, demonstrating strong trust in the project’s vision. - Sustainable Revenue Streams: Nacho has established 5+ diversified revenue streams that are actively driving growth and sustaining the project. - A Committed Team: More than 40 contributors are consistently pushing boundaries and ensuring Nacho remains at the forefront of innovation. Nacho’s strategic focus and adaptability have fortified its role within the Kaspa ecosystem, positioning us perfectly to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. The Next Two Months: A Glimpse Ahead We’re hitting the ground running in 2025, with milestones that will redefine Nacho’s trajectory: - Kat Pool Goes Public: Following a highly successful Closed Beta, the Kat Pool will enter Open Beta in the coming week. This marks a major step in delivering value to our community and participants. - Kat Gov Goes Public: With development of the platform nearing completion, Governance for Kaspa projects and on demand services like KRC20 Snapshots will become ubiquitous. Another Nacho revenue stream. - Major Exchange Listings: Three new listings are on the horizon, including Weex and a Top 10 Exchange. These will boost Nacho’s visibility and accessibility to new markets. - Strategic Partnerships: Over the next two months, we’ll announce five groundbreaking partnerships that have been in the works for a while, each designed to enhance Nacho’s value to holders and the ecosystem. These collaborations will be game-changing for our holders. - Nacho Kats NFTs: Our #KRC721 journey is gaining momentum. While no one knows when Kasplex will release the protocol, our partner artist is nearing completion on the Nacho Kats collection artwork. Each piece completed by hand. While Nacho is more fit than he is Pudgy, this artwork is high quality. This will set the standard as THE provenance play for Kaspa #NFTs, and we can't wait to show you what they look like! - Website Transformation: A complete memeification overhaul of the Nacho website is in progress, reflecting the creativity and vibrancy of our community. The new site will launch in late January, along with some exciting integrations. Why Nacho is Unstoppable Nacho is in its strongest position yet. Here’s why: - 17,500+ holders and growing steadily. - 5+ diversified revenue streams driving sustainable growth. - A dedicated team of 40+ contributors, all working tirelessly to achieve our shared vision. - Over 30% of minters holding firm, underscoring unwavering confidence in the project. - The most well-distributed holder base in the meme token space, making Nacho truly #UNRUGGABLE. These achievements aren’t just milestones; they’re proof of Nacho’s resilience, innovation, and commitment to its community. Nacho is more than a token—it’s a movement that’s here to stay. A Heartfelt Thank You To every member of NachoNation—our contributors, partners, and friends throughout the #Kaspa ecosystem—thank you! Your passion, support, and belief in Nacho drive us to reach new heights. Together, we’re shaping a brighter and bountiful future. We are #NachoNation. We are #Kaspians. And we are just getting started! Here’s to a phenomenal 2025 🥂 #KRC20 #Community

@RealPromisekidd 🔥🔥

@christi61026749 and idk anything about your $NACHO bag but if you were even a little bit late, its highly likely you did "top blast [our] project" 😂🐈‍⬛

I've personally interacted with @christi61026749 in regards to @KaspaCom and generally #Kaspa Mining and have never experience any "shady" or "scammy" behaviors. Frankly, he has always been a kind professional from my experience. Christian is also a "known" personality in Kaspa imo and the cost-benefit analysis of scamming folks with KRC721 and KRC20 doesn't add up to me, esp given his existing Kaspa Mining and ecosystem interaction track record. More to lose than to gain, it would seem. I never vouch for anyone personally because hey you never actually know in crypto. But I have very positive views of Christian and think its highly probable that his actions are all "above board". hope it helps @christi61026749!

@sssvuuu @Julian4crypto @KANGO_ON_KAS @NachoWyborski This guy gets it

lol I know exactly what you mean haha funny how important those labels are

Deployment Advice: KRC-721 NFT Deployment Best Practices As part of our ongoing commitment to support and grow the Kaspa ecosystem, we at $NACHO have been working tirelessly to test and optimize the deployment of our #KRC721 NFT collection. Through our experience, we’ve uncovered valuable insights that we’re excited to share with the community to help streamline your projects and avoid common pitfalls. Here’s our advice for structuring your IPFS files and deploying your NFT collections: --- ### IPFS File Structuring 1. Images Folder: - Create a dedicated folder for all NFT images: This folder should exclusively contain the images for your NFT collection. - Include file extensions: Each file in the folder must have a proper extension such as .png or .jpg. - File naming convention: Ensure the files are named sequentially to match the metadata files. - For example, if your collection contains 500 NFTs, the folder should have exactly 500 files named 1.png, 2.png, ..., 500.png. 2. Metadata Folder: - Create a separate folder for metadata files: This folder should contain only metadata files and no other types of content. - No file extensions: Metadata files should not have extensions like .json, even though their contents should be JSON. - File naming convention: The folder should contain a metadata file for each NFT, sequentially named to match the corresponding image file (e.g., 1, 2, ..., 500). - Include one additional metadata file named collection. This file will serve as the collection’s cover and should also have no file extension. - Metadata "image" field: Ensure that each metadata file includes an "image" field pointing to its respective image using the format ipfs://imagesFolderCID/1.png (replace 1.png with the actual file name). Example of the “Collection” Metadata File: This Collection Metadata file is particularly important for displaying Collection level content and links on but not required. --- ### Deployment in KSPR Bot When deploying your collection: - Use only the CID of your metadata folder when prompted by the KSPR Bot. - Do not include ipfs:// in the input; the bot will parse the raw CID directly. By adhering to this structure, you can: - Simplify the deployment process. - Minimize errors and mismatches between images and metadata. - Ensure a seamless experience for users interacting with your NFT collection. - Ensure your collection looks great in both the #KSPR Bot Wallet and #KatScan --- We’re excited to see the creativity and innovation that the community will bring to the Kaspa blockchain. If you have any questions or would like further assistance, feel free to reach out. Together, we can make deploying KRC-721 collections simple and efficient for everyone! #NachoNation @NachoWyborski @KsprBot @BlockchainBants @Chris_Hutch7 @WolfysBar @LevendiPro @Cryptopumpzzzz

#NachoNation - I want to take full ownership of a mistake I made with the Nacho NFT whitelist script I built. A math error in my coding caused the Kaspa API’s sompi values to miscalculate qualifying donations, leading to more addresses being eligible than we were originally capturing. We exceeded the 500 addresses before I noticed. Rather than decide alone, we took this to the community for a vote. The chosen solution: - Double the whitelist to 1,000 addresses - Limit it to 1 mint per wallet during the whitelist period. To be clear: During the public mint, you can mint as many as you’re able to before the full collection sells out. 📣 We now have fewer than 100 whitelist slots left, and they’re filling up fast. Expect it to be full in a matter of hours. Thank you to the community for helping us make the best call together. Onward! #KRC20 #Kaspa #NFT
