Soldier Ape, the NFT Project, Set to Reshape the Metaverse London, UK, February 12, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Recently, Soldier Ape NFT is proud to announce that the NFT project has reached 20K+ Members on Twitter and Discord. The craze about these non-fungible tokens has outgunned almost every other trend; often at times, they are the trend. Metaverse, on the other hand, is finding silent takers. One such project named Soldier Apes Army is gaining a lot of momentum with over 9000+ members on Discord and over 12k followers on Twitter. The NFT project, unlike others, will include the community from the start, providing a route for recommendations and comments from the very users of the game. The Soldier Apes Army NFT Collection has a total of 10,025 Soldier Ape NFTs stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS (interplanetary file system). Soldier Apes Army is intended to be a P2E (play-to-earn) game. The game requires NFTs, which can be purchased on OpenSea and in PreSale. Each NFT entitles the player to participate in the game. The game, in its true essence, is created by the people and for the people who play it. The game plan is to develop a 3D isometric gaming environment, which is interactive, but with scalable visuals, enabling gamers with less powerful hardware to enjoy a seamless gaming experience. Each of these digital creatures is unique and produced by highly skilled artists. In the Apaverse, also known as “Home of the Apes”, once the 10,000 Soldier Apes NFTs are sold out, the first owners of the 10 rare General Apes NFTs, will receive a one-time payment of $10,000 each. Moreover, the first owner of the 3-star Lieutenant General Ape NFT will also earn a Mercedes-AMG G 63. The game will be based around the Soldier Apes Army NFT collectibles and players can utilise their Soldier Apes as characters in the Apaverse. The objective is one – to establish Soldier Apes Army as the premier NFT PvP and P2E (play to earn) gaming environment on the Ethereum blockchain. Commenting on the mission and vision of the project, the Soldier Ape Founding Team stated, “Our mission is simple: to be the leading Apes NFT PvP and P2E gaming ecosystem on the Ethereum blockchain. We will be building our game around the Soldier Apes Army NFT collectibles, where players use their Soldier Apes as their characters in a unique gaming metaverse.” The project has clocked over 9000 members on Discord, outbidding its Phase 2 goals of 5000 members by a heavy margin. The project is also in a partnership with EGamea, a leading Game Development Studio for the playable Demo game, “Home of the Apes”. In the long run, the project will organise worldwide soldiers events, followed by the public launch of the in-game token. The NFT sector has been on a growth trajectory and with such momentum already backing the Soldier Apes Army NFT project, it is set to be the Metaverse gamechanger. The Founding team announced that Whitelisting Mint is slated to start on February 14, 6 PM, CET., while the public sale will start on February 16, 6 AM, CET.

SINGAPORE - Step into the boots of a soldier and take down your enemies in a forest in Mandai, or solve jigsaw puzzles of pictures related to the army. These games are part of the activities in the Singapore Army's first virtual exhibition, launched on Tuesday (Dec 1) to commemorate its 55th year since the passing of the Singapore Army Bill on Dec 23, 1965. Visitors can also learn more about the Army's history, weapons and vehicles at the exhibition, which is accessible on laptops or smartphones online till Dec 13. Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How, who launched the exhibition, said the Army has come a long way from its modest beginnings, from two infantry battalions when Singapore became independent to the third-generation, networked force of today. "Over the past 55 years, our Army has given strength and confidence to Singapore and Singaporeans, especially in times of crisis. This enduring commitment was exemplified most recently in our national fight against Covid-19," he said in a pre-recorded message. Mr Heng said more than 5,000 Army personnel stepped forward to contribute during the pandemic, in areas such as contact tracing, taking care of migrant workers and supporting the healthcare system. The Army is strong because of the commitment of its soldiers, and the public support for national service and national defence, he said. The Army 55 theme "Our Army Family" celebrates the strong bonds between servicemen, as well as how the citizen army thrives on public and family support, he said. "When we enlist a soldier, we enlist his whole family. When our operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen) turn up for ICT (in-camp training), they do so with the understanding of their families and employers," he said, adding that the exhibition will honour both the soldiers and those who support them. The exhibition, set in a virtual environment in the shape of a house, features seven zones. Visitors can click on the different zones - such as the Marina Bay floating platform, a beret, and Housing Board flats forming the number "55" - to explore the videos, games, and information panels. For instance, the history zone recounts key Army milestones such as its first overseas humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operation Ops Palm in Bangladesh in 1970 in the wake of Cyclone Bhola, where a 47-man team provided medical care and vaccinations. Other milestones include the commandos' role in the Laju ferry hijacking incident in 1984, and the start of national service in 1967, when the physical fitness test included a 4.8km run in 30min and a 9.6km run in 70 minutes while wearing basic combat equipment.

Specifications and photos of platforms from the armour formation's Leopard 2SG Main Battle Tank to the infantry's Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicle can also be viewed. Servicemen and their families are encouraged to take part in a virtual run and complete 5.5km each, with the aim to clock a total of 55,000km from Dec 1 to 13. Chairman of the Army 55 Virtual Exhibition organising committee, Colonel Dean Yik, said the exhibition, which was conceptualised about half a year ago, was meant to thank soldiers past and present for their commitment, dedication and sacrifice. "We also want to take this opportunity to appreciate family members and Singaporeans in general for their support towards our soldiers and our Army," he said during a media preview last Friday (Nov 27).

Attracting people to the website was another big challenge, which they hope to overcome through a social media campaign. Acknowledging that families enjoy the physical aspect of past exhibitions where they get to see military vehicles up close, Col Yik said the virtual exhibition has been designed to be as interactive as possible, with elements such as games. "We know you can't touch and feel the platforms, but the flip side of it is that with this format of the exhibition, you get to experience more platforms, with 44 of them."
