Decentraboard: Roadmap Update V2

Introduction

DECENTRABOARD or the 'ENVOY Billboard' is the first NFT curated billboard with a unique ambition, soon to be discovered in its roadmap.
Furthermore, DECENTRABOARD is the centerpiece of the extraordinary 'Avalon' artwork. By claiming your spot on the billboard you'll be able to showcase your brand, company or gimmick in the digital and maybe even further…
That's not all, by launching DECENTRABOARD it obviously will become one of the most well known NFT fueled billboards in the world. Each slot is minted as an NFT and comes with an unique rare art piece of your slot, that grants you the rights on publishing images on the billboard, in line with our terms.
Sold out 🎉

We are excited and blessed with such a strong community, our first and second batch sold out under 1 hour. Looking back on the first batch we noticed some technicalities we quickly had to solve.

Gas fees are ridiculous when changing the image and info of a slot

In a fast moving industry you have to take risks innovating and creating disruptive products like Decentraboard.
Our ambition is the make Decentraboard an iconic Billboard in the history of advertising, everyone will remember the first NFT curated Billboard many years later because we are a first mover in this market.
ENVOY community members are getting the opportunity to be part of this in a very early stage and we are very thankful for all of the support.
