Introduction & Vision

Welcome to Launchpad: Legendary Landmarks, an exciting feature of The Adventure Collective launching in March 2025. Our platform blends:

• User-generated outdoor photography
• Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
• Community voting & rankings
• Real-world postcards and collectible memorabilia

All powered by our Solana-based LaunchPad token ($PAD). Together, we celebrate iconic U.S. landmarks while empowering photographers to earn from their creativity and connect with adventure enthusiasts worldwide.

LaunchPad Tokens ($PAD)

1. Ecosystem Token: $PAD is the native cryptocurrency underpinning The Adventure Collective, used for NFT transactions, reward payouts, and other in-app utilities.
2. Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (1 billion tokens). A significant portion is bonded on Raydium, reducing circulating supply.
3. Key Use Cases:
   • NFT Purchases: Buy or sell Legendary Landmark NFTs using $PAD.
   • Postcard Royalties: Photographers and NFT holders receive $PAD each time a postcard featuring their image is sold.
   • Community Incentives: Redeem tokens for advanced features, stake them (potentially in the future), or convert them back to fiat (via partner on-ramps).

Call for Photographers (March 2025)

We’re officially calling on photographers worldwide to upload their best shots of iconic U.S. destinations—like the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Falls, Zion National Park, and more—to PicMap. This initiative kicks off in March 2025 and is designed to highlight user-owned content as part of the Legendary Landmarks collection.

How to Participate

1. Create/Update Your Profile

   • Sign up for PicMap or log in if you already have an Adventure Collective account.
   • Make sure your photographer bio is accurate and appealing—people may visit it once you mint NFTs!

2. Upload Your Landmark Photos

   • Select your most stunning, high-resolution images of iconic U.S. destinations.
   • The AI photo judge and community interactions will assess your photos, awarding PicMap token bonuses for quality.

3. Earn Tokens, Convert to $PAD

   • Accumulate PicMap tokens from each upload.
   • Optionally, convert them into LaunchPad ($PAD) tokens for broader usage—like minting NFTs or holding for potential price appreciation.

Legendary Landmarks NFT Series

Legendary Landmarks are digital collectibles tied to real-world destinations. Rather than relying on stock photos, your genuine shots can become part of this curated NFT collection.

Minting Your Own Landmark Photos

1. Opt to Mint

   • Once you’ve uploaded a noteworthy image, pay a small minting fee (in $PAD or fiat) to create an NFT.
   • The NFT is then listed under the Legendary Landmarks category, visible to collectors and fellow adventurers.

2. Holding vs. Selling

   • Hold: Keep your NFT to earn postcard royalties or future perks (like staking bonuses).
   • Sell: List it on our Launchpad marketplace at a price you set (in $PAD). If a buyer loves your shot, you could profit if $PAD’s value rises or if the collectible aspect drives up demand.

Voting & Rankings

1. Daily Votes

   • Users can vote once per landmark (NFT) per day, either raising or lowering its ranking.
   • This gamified approach encourages daily engagement and friendly competition among landmark owners.

2. Dynamic Leaderboards

   • The platform displays a live leaderboard so you can see which landmarks are trending.
   • If your NFT climbs in rank, it may gain extra visibility and potential buyers.

---

Ownership & Profiles

1. Public NFT Pages
   • Each minted Landmark NFT displays creator info (the photographer), purchase history, and a link to the Adventure Guide for that location.
2. Profile Views
   • Visitors can explore the photographer’s profile, seeing their PicMap uploads, bucket list, and completed adventures—building a community-driven experience.

---

Postcards & Physical Memorabilia

1. Physical Postcards for $3
   • Any minted photo can be turned into a physical postcard, purchased by collectors or fans for $2.50.
   • Cost Breakdown:
     • $1: Printing & shipping
     • $1: The Adventure Collective’s operational revenue
     • $1: Credited in $PAD to the NFT owner/photographer
2. Bridging Digital & Real
   • Owning an NFT doesn’t just mean holding a digital file; it can spawn tangible souvenirs that connect people to the actual landmark.

---

Buy, Sell, & Marketplace Mechanics

Fees & Royalties

1. 10% Transaction Fee
   • For each NFT sale, The Adventure Collective charges a 10% fee in $PAD.
   • Sellers keep 90% of the sale amount.

Price Appreciation & Resale

1. Token-Driven Value
   • Since NFTs are denominated in $PAD, a rise in token price (due to platform growth and demand) can amplify the NFT’s real-world value.
2. Collector Demand
   • Popular landmarks, unique angles, or viral photos may skyrocket in perceived worth on the Launchpad marketplace—especially if your vote ranking is high.

---

Future Outlook & Community Growth

1. Expanding Landmarks
   • After the initial U.S. focus, we’ll expand Legendary Landmarks to global sites—famous European castles, tropical beaches, and more.
2. Staking & Advanced Utilities
   • We plan to explore NFT staking (letting landmark owners earn extra tokens) and advanced community features (like photo critiques, curated travel experiences, etc.).
3. Real-World Partnerships
   • Potential alliances with travel gear brands, tourism boards, or conservation initiatives could offer exclusive rewards to top NFT holders or photographers.
