Clay Mates began with limited edition, collectable, stop-motion animations and our very first NFT dropped on April 17th, 2021 - “Charles Birdkinson”.

After a series of successful drops of Clay Mates Season 1 & 2, we began to explore the idea of moulding this initial concept into the increasingly popular algorithmically generated profile picture NFTs. This led us to create Clay Nation, the first hand-made generative NFTs on Cardano.

Following the release of Clay Nation - 10,000 unique clay NFTS - we had the incredible opportunity to team up with American punk-music legends, GOOD CHARLOTTE, creating our collaboration and drop that was an exclusive benefit to existing Clay Nation holders and also bringing the music industry’s eyes and interest to the world and possibilities of Cardano NFTs.

﹀ What was the original mint price for Clay Nation??

The mint price for Clay Nation was 38₳.

The mint price for Clay Nation x Good Charlotte was 48₳.

﹀ Why Cardano?

Cardano is our roots - we fell in love with the ethos, sustainability element and community of Cardano from early on. It has always felt like the natural home for a project such as ours, and we were active in the community - running a Stake Pool - prior to starting Clay Mates.

Cardano offers us, as creators, the opportunity to let our imaginations run free, to think outside the box, be innovative and interact with the community. It allows us not to just be a project on a blockchain, but a Cardano community project - and that is pretty special.

$CLAY token is the main utility and governance token of Clay Nation.

$CLAY is designed to be deeply integrated within the Clayverse, where it will be used for any transaction within the virtual environment.

Our goal is to maximise utility of $CLAY token and to foster an ecosystem in which participants are as engaged as possible.

CLAY stake pool offers additional staking benefits and incentives to encourage ADA staking and long term holding.

Please see detailed information of IP on our Terms of Service page.

﹀ How do I find the coordinates for my pitch?

The Clayverse map is available to view on our official website, with additional functions to make searching for pitches easier:

Holders can connect their wallet to view the location of their pitches.

Locate pitches by searching a serial number or coordinates (x,y).

View pitches for sale on Clay Space and filter by price.

﹀ What is the difference between S, M and L pitches? Is it possible to split or join plots?

Pitches are available in 3 relative sizes - small (1x1), medium (2x2) and large (3x3) - randomly distributed at point of sale.

The sizes of each pitch in metres is approximately: small = 10 x 10; medium = 20 x 20; large = 30 x 30. Two or more adjacent pitches can be merged together, but a single pitch cannot be split.

﹀ Can I join the fun if I don't own a Clay Avatar? (Default Avatars)

We will release more details of default avatars and access to non-clay holders /guest passes as confirmed.

﹀ What is baking and how can I bake my clay?

Our non-custodial baking system lets you claim $CLAY rewards. Every day, your Clay Nation and Clay Nation x Good Charlotte assets accumulate 'unbaked' $CLAY rewards.

To receive these tokens, you'll need to actively start a 2-week $CLAY "baking" process on our website.

﹀ What does owning a pitch enable me to do?

Pitch holders can help us to shape concepts, and we will be encouraging contributions to the development of Clay Nation through active building on Pitches. We will release more info soon on default asset packs to get you started.

﹀ What are the big empty squares around the map? And can you tell us more about the areas such as the “Hub” or the locked areas?

Areas have been set aside for ongoing and future development / partnerships, of which details will be given as they are confirmed.

The hub will act as an epicentre of entertainment and fun activities, and buildings may include such things as galleries, stores, clubs, convention centres, bowling arcades, laser tag etc..

How will the three zones be different for one another? Will I be able to travel between zones?

Each zone has its own unique theme and it will be possible to travel between them.

Sonic village refers to sound, not the hedgehog, and accordingly is home to the main stage with strong music vibes.

Development of the Underworld is something we will work together with GC on.

The hot, smokey terrain of Baked Nation will be home to the Field of Dreams and a hub developed in partnership with Snoop Dogg, Champ Medici and their team.
