The entire collection comprises 10,000 individual, with the aim to bring together 10,000 early adopters of the Internet of the future – those native to the region or those who have made the region their home – where they have a platform and a common bond, to come together from different backgrounds under one initiative.

The first drop of 1,000 of these NFTs also feature the rarer 10 ‘founding falcons’ numbered from 9,999 to 9990 – few of which will be given away at the Step Conference 2022.

Future waves feature traditional Middle Eastern accessories, artwork, cuisines and so much more, mixed with contemporary design and familiar NFT artwork staples.

Each NFT from the first wave will trade on OpenSea at a floor price of 0.05 ETH (currently trading at $160) with the aim to make the Bored Falcon collective, as well as NFT art, accessible to all.
