Our Process
We’ll begin with four culture drops, each representing a different ancient warrior culture. Each drop will include a release of 1,111 unique warrior avatar NFT’s and a limited release of 3D collectible artifact NFT’s representing some of the rarest artifacts in the world. How are we able to do this? Our project is backed by the largest private collection of ancient arms and armor in the world and we've pioneered groundbreaking photogrammetry techniques to bring these objects to life.
This is just where the project begins.
SCROLL THROUGH!
Each culture drop will be supported by a spectacular narrative that follows an ancient hero and their modern-day sidekick as they attempt to reunite with their historically significant artifacts. Community members will have access to first drafts of scripts and early updates as we work to bring the animated series to life.
The Knights Who Say Nah are preserving a collection of more than 6,000 artifacts across 50 cultures, spanning 6,000 years of history.
Some of the collection is already housed in esteemed cultural institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Art Institute of Chicago.
The 3D artifacts are the first of their kind
The 3D artifacts are the first of their kind and as the metaverse grows and interoperability becomes reality, we want our holders to be able to equip their ancient artifacts on any avatar in their wallet and run around the metaverse with a samurai sword or a viking axe strapped to their backs.
As our community grows we’ll build a treasury where our DAO (The Round Table) will vote on repatriation efforts and gifting to museums and cultural heritage organizations around the world.

The Future
The Knights Who Say Nah plan to have an interactive ecosystem in the future that allows the community to equip their warrior avatars with the one-of-a-kind artifacts they've purchased. Whether it's battle cards, a D&D style RPG game for the online community or a jousting arena where you can wager crypto in battle we want our community to enjoy upgradeable experiences as a reward for their involvement and loyalty as a member of The Knights Who Say Nah.
