As part of the product’s launch campaign, WalletConnect is working with the premier NFT platform Transient Labs to airdrop unique NFTs from the collection to all Web3Inbox app users who follow these signup steps by Friday, January 26 (23:59 CET). By participating, you will receive one of the first-ever released NFTs linked to bio-acoustic data produced by humpback and sperm whales in the Caribbean. With 905 total designs that vary in rarity, a single NFT that could be one of several mints or a rare, one-of-a-kind design will be airdropped to your wallet.

The Soundwaves Collection features four categories: Whale Talk, In a Bubble, Harmony, and Signals, all designed by artist Daria Smakhtina. Each category draws inspiration from humpback whales' unique and complex song sequences during the breeding season and clicks from sperm whales when approaching the water’s surface. Every NFT is intricately tied to a living whale, creating a unique bridge between the digital and physical worlds. After lauching Web3Inbox and subscribing to notifications, you gain exclusive access to SNI’s REAL Portal. There, you can discover your linked whale through hypnotic bioacoustics, mesmerising video recordings, and captivating stories, all provided by SNI ecological steward partner, Aquasearch. The fully immersive Soundwaves NFT experience is one of the first campaigns in history that seamlessly bridges the virtual and natural worlds.

Whales have gained a reputation throughout history for their incredibly communicative nature. Highly social creatures, whales travel in pods and use a variety of sounds to communicate with each other and are thought to be one of the most advanced communicators in the animal kingdom. Today, these whale populations face significant threats due to human activities.

After registering for your Soundwaves NFT and subscribing to notifications on the REAL Portal, you will receive exclusive updates regarding how your NFT supports Aquasearch’s ongoing marine conservation efforts. Aquasearch’s research is essential for assessing the effect of human disturbances on whales' behaviour and overall health, which will help develop effective future conservation policies in the region. Existing research initiatives include understanding the communication and behaviour patterns that these whales rely on to hunt, socialise with each other, and interact with their environment.

SNI’s REAL Portal is a platform designed to transform how individuals and conservation project developers can respectively participate in, report on, and easily verify their financial contributions to ecological efforts and their positive impact on biodiversity conservation. With the Soundwaves Collection, WalletConnect is not only commemorating the launch of their new product, Web3Inbox, but also gifting you, their customers, verified ecological impact via exclusive NFT airdrops, involving you directly in essential biodiversity conservation efforts.

After receiving your Soundwaves Collection NFT, visit SNI’s REAL Portal to:

1. Discover the whale tied to your NFT,
2. Read captivating stories about Aquasearch's conservation efforts, and

The Soundwaves Collection was created by importing the whales’ audio files into 3D computer graphics software to create soundwave geometry. The NFTs’ landscape composition was produced and analysed to highlight the most prominent parts of the whales’ soundwaves. Animations are algorithmically programmed to float along the soundwave landscape, with varying sound characteristics and changes according to Aquasearch’s collected ecological data. Each NFT, while just a fragment, shares a story told by whales over millennia. Head to the Web3Inbox app today and subscribe to Web3Inbox’s notifications to collect one of these state-of-the-art NFTs and show it off to your crypto community by sharing and tagging SNI and WalletConnect on X/Twitter.

A special thank you goes out to WalletConnect for choosing SNI to bring their sustainability commitments to life in a digitally engaging and impactful way. Learn more about their new product, Web3inbox, by visiting their website.
