"When you gaze upon a star, an Astrid gazes back."
"In the universe of Ad Astrium, astral energy is the soul of the cosmos, permeating all matter from the tiniest speck of stardust to the largest black holes, imbuing them with a fractionalized essence and awareness of the universe. The greatest concentrations of this conscious energy reside within celestial bodies themselves, birthing the major purveyors of the will of the cosmos, the Astrals. The most prolific group among the Astrals, are the childlike manifestations of the stars - The Astrids, the embodiment of friendship, wonder, and adventure of the cosmos iteself."
The Astrid Stars are visually depicted by handcrafted art pieces that personify real stars in a unique and captivating way. Each one boasts a dominant color that mirrors its real-life star's spectral type. But there's more to these NFTs than meets the eye. Beyond the artistic details, the metadata includes star data based on scientifically accurate star catalogues imbuing each Astrid Star NFT with a deeper identity, linking it to a specific real-life star, and effectively transforming the collection as a Star Catalogue on the Cardano Blockchain. To further enhance the experience of owning an Astrid Star, we're also building a 3D recreation of the nearby cosmos, i.e. the Ad Astrium Star Map, wherein holders will be able to directly interact with their star in fun and novel ways. So, not only are you getting a one-of-a-kind piece of art, but you're also owning a piece of the cosmos, backed by the accuracy of our in-house registry.
One of the revolutionary possibilities with NFTs is that it can be a revolutionary form of crowd-ownership, and not simply crowd-funding. One of the reasons we created our own project in the first place is to push and highlight the normalization of this practice. Our Main Collection NFTs will become a barrierless form of part ownership of Ad Astrium akin to stocks. We will allocate a portion of our total net profits, derived from all forms of profit, to holders of the Main Collection. The source of these profits will primarily come from the Star Ownership Platform we wish to . This is intended to begin during the Scaling Phases of our project's life cycle, when the product is released to the mainstream market. The allocation will start at 20% and will increase over time to up to 70% of profits or higher after all business expenses.
