A SYNTHESIS OF ART, MYTHOLOGY, AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Aswang Tribe is a collection of 3333 utility-infused NFTs inspired by Filipino mythology.This vastly diverse set of profile picture art gives you access to a one-of-a-kind digital collectible ecosystem that features Day 1 Staking, Day 1 Breeding, and one of the most wildly creative communities in web3.
Each Aswang is designed to gain "Prayer Levels" the longer you stake. The highest Prayer Level can only be earned by staking for 333 years - a true test of the potential of blockchain tech that puts the spotlight on one of its most overlooked use cases: cultural preservation.
This collection contains 1111 Tikbalang (Badass Horses), 1111 Siyokoy (Chad Fish Guys), and 1111 Duwende (QT Mushrooms) that will eventually be joined by 3333 Manananggal (Demon E-girls).
Find the Aswang that speaks to your soul. Join the Tribe. !pray
DAY 1 UTILITY:
STAKING & BREEDING
!PRAY = STAKE. Once its traits are revealed, you can immediately command your Aswang to !pray - this will allow your NFT to produce an ERC-20 utility token called $DUGO. NFTs from the Tikbalang, Siyokoy, and Duwende Clans will produce 5 $DUGO tokens every 24 hours.
SUMMON = BREED. Burning 900 $DUGO tokens while an Aswang is !praying inside your wallet allows you to summon an Aswang from the fourth clan: The Manananggal. Manananggal NFTs can also !pray and will produce 2 $DUGO tokens every 24 hours. You only need ONE Aswang from ANY clan to summon a Manananggal.
$DUGO has no intrinsic monetary value and is used solely to gamify the art collecting experience within the Aswang Tribe ecosystem.
PRAYER LEVELS:
A TRUE TEST OF THE
ENDURANCE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECH
As your Aswang !prays, it will gain Prayer Levels. Prayer Levels dynamically change the background of your NFT by giving your Aswang a halo. If an Aswang !prays for 30 days, it will reach Prayer Level 1, and a Level 1 halo will appear in the background of the NFT. The longer an Aswang !prays, the higher the prayer level, and the rarer the halo.
There are 7 Prayer Levels that an Aswang can earn, and 7 corresponding background halos to be discovered. The highest Prayer Level can only be unlocked by !praying for 333 Years. If the promises of blockchain technology prove true, you will be long dead as your Aswang continues to evolve.
Good things come to those who !pray

While your Aswang is !praying, they cannot be moved from their current location. You can command your Aswang to stop !praying at any time by using the Prayer Dashboard.
Upon summoning, you will receive a Manananggal Egg with unrevealed traits. You may hatch this egg in the Prayer Dashboard at any time to discover what lies within. Manananggal can also !pray for $DUGO tokens and summon another Manananggal.
Every 180 days, these emission rates will cut in half until the supply limit of 10 Million $DUGO tokens is reached.
2 Million $DUGO tokens are held in reserve in the Aswang Tribe project wallet for use as prizes in contests and events. $DUGO has no intrinsic monetary value and is used solely to gamify the art collecting experience within the Aswang Tribe ecosystem.
"Dugo" is the Filipino word for "blood".
You can only get a Tikbalang, Siyokoy, or Duwende on mint day. In order to get a Manananggal, you need to burin 900 $DUGO tokens while at least 1 Aswang is ! praying inside your wallet.
Only 3333 Manananggal can be summoned. Meaning the grand total of all Aswang from the 4 clans in the collection will be 6666.
