Bluefrens NFT Collection Announces Mint Date

Following months of hype and buildup, the Bluefrens NFT collection has just revealed 25–29 July as the date range for its multi-phase mint on Stargaze.

The collection, a 1,420-piece celebration of the the entire Sentinel Ecosystem, is the brainchild of Bitveil, a collective of professional Web3 consultants who both validate the blockchain and make technical contributions to Meile dVPN,

The amount of detail and community knowledge demonstrated by the collection is impeccable; but Bluefrens strives to go the extra mile in bringing value to Sentinel. The collection has become a key advocate for the project on social platforms, organize fun events for the community, and works to ensure that their collection has practical utility and benefits to holders beyond aesthetics.

As Mullet, the collection's mastermind, puts it: "The goal is to make sure every Bluefren comes with something you can actually use, not just flex."

The star of the collection is Mitch, a blue-pigmented variant of Pepe which has been a staple of Sentinel community memes since the project started in the late 2010s. Bluefrens offers 1,420 pixel art NFTs centered on Sentinel's unofficial mascot, each uniquely generated from over 60 hand-drawn traits tied to the ecosystem and its vibrant culture.

This sample platter of the collection features nods to a plethora of ecosystem partners and contributors: dVPNs like Sentinel Shield, Valt, and Meile; the Sentinel Scout AI Data Layer, and even our P2P Newswire service.

"BluefrensNFT is our attempt to put a friendly face on P2P tech, while paying tribute to the amazing work of the developers and contributors of the Sentinel Network." - Mullet (Bitveil)

NFTs with Utility

As we touched upon in the introduction, these NFTs are much more than mere swag for your wallet. Bluefrens has partnered with the Sentinel Growth DAO to bring utility to the medium and align their work directly with Sentinel's products.

Holders can already look forward to perks such as discounts for dVPN subscriptions and free bandwidth—and even more is on the way. Considering the unparalleled level of real-world consumer adoption Sentinel-powered apps have received, it wouldn't be a stretch to call this the most useful NFT collection ever made.
