UniArt’s impossible art formula gallery bring bottom-up NFT appreciation with vote mining on 30th Sep

Preamble

Recently, “Loot” has been spreading virally throughout the crypto community. Industry key opinion leaders (KOLs), founders of quality projects, and investment institutions all pay close attention to the emerging “bottom-up” concept, and more community members are excited about it.

Despite the term bottom-up only recently coming into the limelight, in essence, the philosophy may be at the root of the entire crypto economy. Bitcoin, for example, breaks the rules of centralized government-issued fiat currency by enabling anyone that follows its PoW consensus algorithm to produce a new currency. On the other hand, Ether allows developers to build arbitrary dApps on top of it without permission, and its prosperity hinges on the frequency of this.

These two patriarchs of the crypto economy have opened up a bottom-up path outside the centralized internet. The bottom here can be anyone. The top is no longer governments or corporations but now code, algorithms, data, and consensus mechanisms. Loot is the first bottom-up non-fungible token (NFT), possessing similar intrinsic characteristics at the root of its explosion.

The most widespread application of NFT is currently in the art sector. Crypto community practitioners are working to bring NFT into the traditional art marketplace. To accomplish this, NFT must have general acceptance and market consensus, not just within a niche group of artists and appreciators. Take the most common financial application of collateralized lending, for example; a starving artist, globally unknown pledges his minted NFT to you, the potential lender. They claim it is worth US$10,000 and want to borrow against this collateralized value. Naturally, you are hesitant, unsure of its market value, and even if a current buyer is willing to purchase it at that price, you are still uncertain about its future value. In short, there is not enough market consensus for that NFT. However, let’s use CryptoPunk or BAYC as collateral in this example. Results would be the opposite because each of these digital assets already has widespread market consensus, having been classified as antiques in the NFT community. Therefore, the fair market valuation of NFT is critical to achieving market consensus in the financial sector. Exploring a suitable value solution for NFT is beneficial in a financial application, which opens up various other possibilities for NFT, leading to the further development of the whole crypto community.

UniArts aims to uncover NFT fair market valuation through its customized bottom-up Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) economic model, aspiring decentralized incubation of creators and their works. In this paper, the core concept of UniArts will be comprehensively explained using this bottom-up concept as the source idea.

Bottom-up NFT Fair Market Valuation

The term bottom-up can be understood differently in different contexts; building on top of a foundation is not a required characteristic. In the context of UniArts, bottom (in a non-pejorative sense) can be understood as what people define together and top as the fair value of NFT. This bottom-up approach is contrasted with more traditional top-down valuation, which was determined mainly by centralized auction houses or prominent collectors. Less renowned artists rarely gained any attention, and in the rare chance they did, their work would often be considered nearly worthless. Such an approach does nothing to showcase potentially exceptional pieces for the mere reason they are unknown, and they remain misunderstood by the public.

In the UniArts network, $UART holders are deemed “nominators,” pledging their tokens as “votes” for an NFT they admire. The more votes an NFT receives, the more people approve of it, and the higher the consensus level. When people are required to invest in their decisions, they become much more selective. Since there is value in $UART, the votes that an NFT receives indicate its fair market value. In the early stages of UniArts’ development, the small user base may not be sufficient to tie the word fair to an NFTs value, but as the network expands, it will become more and more convincing. This process can be referred to as the “flywheel effect.”

Appreciate to Earn

“Appreciate To Earn” is a new concept and a subset of “Play To Earn,” in that merely appreciating an NFT is akin to the process of playing. Axie Infinity, a chain game that has been popular in the crypto community for a while now, relied on this “Play To Earn” concept as the fuel to expand its user base. From this vetted example, we know that it is a viable business model.

UniArt’s Nominators pledge $UART and select an NFT they appreciate to earn more $UART, including a base pledge bonus and a block bonus for top-ranked NFTs. In this process, the word appreciate corresponds to the nominator, and the word earn corresponds to the earned $UART. In Axie Infinity, players buy a pet “Axie” as an entry ticket to the game and earn revenue in-game from this Axie. In UniArts, $UART is the entry ticket into the network.

Play to Earn can be viewed as a modern concept to attract new users. Traditional game companies pay third-party advertising companies to attract new users, but these users do not receive any income. Blockchain games use tokens to incentivize new users, which is a disguised way of attracting traffic; an alternative form of advertising, where the fees paid to advertising companies are instead attributed to the user. If this alternative form of advertising is integrated into a chain game’s economic model, one can only expect explosive organic user growth. Similarly, the Appreciate to Earn concept will cause natural growth of UniArt’s user base, eventually to the point where fair valuation is achieved.  

Multi-Chain NFT Gallery “Impossible Art Formula”

UniArts is native to Polkadot, and one of its strategic plans is to spread the NFT gallery to more popular blockchains, the first stop being Polygon. Mechanically, the gallery will be similar to the NPoS economic model but not identical.

  • Six NFTs will be presented in each issuance, and users can pledge $UART or $WETH to vote on their favorite NFT.
  • There are a total of 3 revenue pools, including a casting pool, a general pool, and a bonus pool. The bonus pool added to the gallery is unique in comparison to the NPoS model mentioned above. The casting pool is a pool in which $UART is minted into an NFT based on the percentage of votes received by the NFT. The general pool allocates rewards based on the proportion of user votes to the total number of votes in the corresponding NFT.
  • At the end of each voting period, NFT owners have the option to participate in the next three-day auction. The bonus pool is allocated to the corresponding NFT according to the ratio of the price sold in the auction to the sum of all prices traded in the auction for that period. This pool is then allocated to users that voted in the general pool, as mentioned in (2).
  • Specific details can be found in the following chart:

UARTs tokens are capped at 200 million, with 10% held by the team and released after 3 years, 12% by early stage investors, 10% by the treasury, and the rest by NFT vote mining, “Appreciate To Earn”.

“Impossible Art Formula” demonstrates the lack of a perfect solution in art valuation as everyone has their unique preferences. Let’s solve this by using $UART to appoint the “Hamlet” we fancy.

Concluding Remarks

UniArts has customized the NPoS economic model for NFT with an Appreciate To Earn mechanism based on the bottom-up source concept, which helps NFT discover its fair value. This value discovery fills an essential gap in applying NFT to traditional art and financial systems, paving a new path in crypto circles.

The impossible art formula is accessible now and will be online on 30th Sep.

Conservation Travel Africa Highlights Growing Opportunities for Mature Volunteers in Ethical Primate Conservation

Published

December 12, 2025

By

Harare, Zimbabwe, 12th Dec 2025 – Conservation Travel Africa is celebrating the continued growth and success of its ethical Primate Volunteer Program in Zimbabwe, with a particular rise in mature and senior volunteers seeking meaningful, hands-on conservation experiences. The programme—based at one of Zimbabwe’s most respected wildlife sanctuaries—offers volunteers of all ages the opportunity to work closely with rescued and orphaned primates, contributing directly to long-term rehabilitation and welfare.

The sanctuary provides a safe haven for primates affected by the illegal pet trade, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting daily care, enrichment, enclosure management, and behavioural observation, all within a highly ethical framework that prioritises animal wellbeing.

A Welcoming Space for Mature Volunteers

Conservation Travel Africa continues to see increasing numbers of volunteers aged 50+ choosing its projects, drawn by supportive environments, comfortable accommodations, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to conservation while experiencing Africa in an authentic and engaging way.

Among the most popular programmes for mature volunteers is the Primate Conservation Program in Zimbabwe—an intimate, hands-on experience ideal for those seeking a small, friendly sanctuary environment. Volunteers work alongside dedicated local staff, gaining insight into the daily realities of wildlife rescue while building strong connections within the team.

Other Mature-Friendly Volunteer Opportunities

Beyond primate care, Conservation Travel Africa offers a wide range of projects designed to suit different interests, skill levels, and comfort preferences:

  • Community Outreach – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Very small group sizes create a personalised and flexible volunteering experience. Project managers tailor activities according to community needs and the skills volunteers bring.
     
  • Big 5 National Parks, Zimbabwe: Run by an experienced couple in their 60s, this field assistant role allows volunteers to shadow seasoned conservationists as they carry out real-time wildlife monitoring and management across major parks.
     
  • Rhino & Elephant Program, Zimbabwe: With structured days, a family-style environment, and comfortable accommodation, this programme is ideal for first-time older volunteers seeking a supportive and familiar setting.
     
  • Endangered Wildlife Monitoring, South Africa: Popular with travellers who have previously been on safari, this research-focused programme offers in-depth exposure to conservation management in a vast protected area.
     
  • Humpback Whale Expedition, Mozambique: A unique marine project that requires no diving experience. Volunteers swim with and monitor whales while supporting ongoing scientific research, all from comfortable accommodation in a remote coastal setting.
     
  • Environmental Conservation, Malawi: Perfect for bird enthusiasts, this programme blends community engagement with river-based conservation work, exceptional birding, and a camping weekend in Majete Wildlife Reserve.
     

“We’re seeing a real shift in the way people want to travel later in life,” said Jane Palmer, Marketing Manager at Conservation Travel Africa. “Around 30% of our volunteers are over 50, and many are now boldly embarking on their first solo adventure. Programs like our Primate Conservation Project give mature volunteers a chance to reconnect with nature, make a meaningful impact, and experience Africa in a truly hands-on way.”

Ethical, Impactful Volunteering

Conservation Travel Africa remains committed to responsible wildlife experiences. All projects are operated in partnership with leading African sanctuaries, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. Unlike exploitative wildlife tourism, these programmes are non-commercial, with no breeding, performance, or hands-on activities that compromise animal wellbeing.

How to Join

Limited-time savings are available for volunteers joining the Primate Conservation Program in 2025, offering an added incentive for those ready to take the next step in their conservation journey. No prior experience is required—only enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a desire to contribute to meaningful wildlife protection.

Published

December 12, 2025

By

Street lamps are wrapped in gold foil, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The most touching aspects of December are perhaps these softly glowing everyday moments—and every seasonal wardrobe should include a red plaid flannel shirt steeped in memories.It evokes images of wool blankets stacked by the fireplace, smoke rising from a cabin after a snowfall, and the broad-shouldered silhouette of a father decorating the Christmas tree in an old shirt. The classic red plaid pattern seems to carry the warmth and sounds of the holidays, instantly transporting one back to those American holiday scenes filled with love.

American festive attire doesn’t have to be expensive.

When it comes to the origins of red plaid shirts, Filson is undoubtedly a pioneering representative. But classic style is never exclusive to high prices. Today, COOFANDY weaves this American festive spirit into a plush, affordably priced flannel shirt. The classic red-and-black plaid, crafted from a cotton blend, retains a touch of rugged texture while being gentle on the skin. You can casually roll up the sleeves to wrap gifts under the Christmas tree or layer it under a thick coat on a chilly morning, letting the plaid collar peek out subtly.Natural styling scenarios emerge effortlessly: pair it with straight-leg jeans and a pair of well-worn work boots, as if you’ve just returned from a winter walk in the woods; or tuck a pinecone or eucalyptus leaf into the shirt pocket to instantly brighten up your outfit. It captures the winter wardrobe vibes from Friends episodes and resembles the relaxed, familiar looks found in every American family’s Christmas photo album.

Layering Adds Depth to Festive Style

For a touch of scholarly refinement, try layering a diamond-patterned knit vest over the shirt. This classic Ivy League look features a V-neck that perfectly reveals the plaid collar and hem, adding both layers and a sense of festive ritual—as if you’re ready to unwrap gifts, sing carols, and share a toast with long-lost family members.

This Christmas, Dress in Classic Style, Warm a Season of Hearts
The resurgence of American outdoor traditions isn’t just about trends; it’s about how these timeless pieces resonate with everyday life, especially during seasons like Christmas that call for warmth and ritual. A simple red plaid shirt can accompany you while baking gingerbread cookies, decorating the Christmas tree, or cozying up on the couch to watch old movies.

There’s no need to chase after expensive heritage brands; affordability can still deliver classic American festive vibes. COOFANDY’s Red Plaid Series has prepared your entire holiday wardrobe. Special Christmas discounts are underway, with select styles up to 50% off. Treat yourself to some warmth or choose a thoughtful gift for someone special.Welcome to the COOFANDY flagship store or Amazon shop to take home your Christmas warmth.
