Patrick Bezalel’s genesis NFT collection MEH-TAVERSE is set for launch on 2 November and the buzz around the big day has invited many queries, especially from onlookers and newcomers in the Discord community.

Before addressing them, it is key to note that MEH-TAVERSE has a dual value proposition: artist-driven project as well as branded MEH asset. Specifically, the collection is built upon an established fine artist together with a community who shares his vision of spreading hope through art and the NFT MEH which will be developed for further projects and utilities.

With fraudulent activities occurring frequently in the metaverse, transparency and integrity to the community is of paramount importance to Patrick and his team. Hence, they have adopted the Provenance Hash method to ensure fair distribution of the MEHs where even Patrick himself and the team are unable to manipulate the assigning of the MEHs but only receive what is randomly given. Below is a summary of the information you need to know for the launch and what lies ahead on the roadmap.

Private Sale
31 Oct 22:22 SGT (2:22PM UTC) for a 24-hour window

  • 35 MEHs are reserved by Patrick for the team and marketing purposes
  • Up to 230 MEHs are reserved for partners

Whitelist Pre-Sale
1 Nov 22:22 SGT (2:22PM UTC) for a 24-hour window

2 tranches of whitelists:

  • OG100 Whitelist for 100 wallets, allowing a max of 3 MEHs
  • 222 Whitelist for 222 wallets, allowing a max of 2 MEHs

Public Sale
2 Nov 22:22 SGT (2:22PM UTC)

Open to the public on a first come first serve basis, allowing a max of 5 MEHs per transaction. The rationale behind this minting strategy is to ensure a fair distribution, avoid gas wars and manipulation of bots.

MEH Reveal
The big reveal will happen either 12 hours after sell out when all our MEHs have found a home, or 48 hours after launch, whichever is sooner. You can view the big reveal on OpenSea.io.

With all these plans, this is more than a PFP project :) Being the genesis collection, MEH-TAVERSE has a dual value:

(1) Joining the journey of the established artist and also collaborating with other artists

(2) the Mehs which we have roadmaps and further plans of developing this product

(3) A community that will learn, support and grow together in this new space supporting art and artists that bring love, joy and hope into this world .

Some of the items in the roadmap are newly added in the last week as the team continues to look at ways to add value to every loyal meh minter and hodler.
