Winning the Clan Wars was just the beginning for Veilari

As enthusiasts of the PFP collectives scene, we've seen countless experiments come and go. However, Valhalla Clan Wars, with its distinctive strategy, managed to stand out and capture our undivided attention. Their innovative approach fostered engagement, unity, and competition set the PFP trait-based collective world alight.

Now, if we're discussing Valhalla Clan Wars, it's impossible not to mention Veilari. The name that echoed through every virtual corridor, the team that raised the bar for others to aspire to, and emerged as the formidable group claiming the much-coveted #1 spot. What’s even more interesting was that this was just the beginning for Veilari.

Naturally, we were curious to unearth how they managed to pull this off, leading us a riveting discussion with two of Veilari’s key figures: a core member deeply involved in the organization and planning and an ardent community member who breathes life into the competitive scene.

Securing this position wasn't easy; it required strategy, perseverance, and teamwork. We were fortunate enough to delve into how Veilari clinched their victory and cemented their name in Valhalla Clan Wars history. And from there we talk about how they are taking their initial momentum into much more.

Stay tuned; we're about to peel back everything about Veilari. We've got insights from the very people who have been on the frontline, and trust us when we say, it's a tale worth hearing. So, grab your battle gear, settle in, and join us as we venture into the heart of the action.

Here are some inspiring quotes:

How would you describe what is Veilari within Valhalla?

Well Veilari is a sub community in Valhalla and at the same time a DAO. It was formed through the clan wars. I would say it's a sub-community, but at the same time a DAO. Our goal at first was just winning the competition. But for us, it became clear pretty fast that we want to build something bigger than this.

How are you co-owning together?

We own a lot of Veilari's, obviously because of the clan wars and also other Valhalla NFTs that we bought after the clan wars. And just recently we started to collect some gaming assets. So we are currently holding three otherdeeds and three vessels. So a starter pack to play the Yuga game. And besides that, it's only Valhalla NFTs pretty much.

I also only also own Veilari's. We share across our social media accounts. We have a painting of one of the Valhallas. We know an artist made a painting that is like priced about like 5 to 10k usually of so usually he draws other things. We really like the art.

How do you decide as a group what to go and buy next? Because art is so subjective, right?

Yeah, for sure. I mean we do a proposal for every purchase we are planning, with our core team we have a telegram group. If somebody has an idea, we discuss it within the core team first, like the signing members. And from there on we always have a proposal in discord. So we have a channel only for equity owners where we can discuss and propose ideas. And we only pretty much execute them if everybody is on the same side.

So aside from collecting NFTs what other types of community initiatives are you guys working on at Veilari ?

We want to expand and have several assets for several games. Maybe have an esports team. We are also working on branding and merch, we were thinking about, for example, the Veilari’s have black blindfold, and we could have black blindfolds with some oils for a good sleep or good rest and ship them as te package with Veilari branding.

We also thought about some hoodies and t-shirts, but that's something just like for the team for now. And we are also working with Cly where community members can do quests and get rewarded. With the Veilari access disc for now. And on top of this, like our main product is an in-house coded app that we are working on since the first day of the clan competition. It's pretty much like the clan visualizer, but in a way more expandable and yeah, higher scale type of environment I would say.

What do you like about the culture within Veilari?

I think the art overall is great, especially like all stimulation to gaming culture. I think also the way how they set up the gamified clan wars, this is actually the major reason and why I'm into Veilari cause the reason or how I discovered Veilari, how they set it up in gamified way. And I think it's different to the things that exist.

What role does Lore play in your web3 goal and objective?

It's the platform that enables us to basically do it from the ground up, we wouldn't really be able to organize and execute the transaction easily, without Lore and also the organization and the new feature you have, for example, for the net worth.

That's a great feature to have because we have a great overview. For example, if we would just use the multi signature wallet, we would just have the assets and like numbers and by using Lore, we have the visualization already. We have a net worth tracker. We can see the NFTs directly and also all the executions and transactions we can do. It's pretty easy and straightforward.

Right. Yeah. It creates like a lot of trust for everyone who's participating because all the things are transparent. So like how much equity everybody owns, like which assets. Also the DAO have, so this is really great reputation wise because people know that's a reliable tool.

What do you think motivates you guys and keeps you going through this bear market?

It’s not the first bear market we are going through. We absolutely know what’s coming after it. I like to think bear markets are for building. The people who are sticking around in the bear market are pretty much the people you want to build for the bull run.

I know what's coming afterwards, and I know that I'm building with the right people currently. Of course it's not the first bear market for most of the members. We can now test things, check if they scale and then really hype them up in the next bull run whenever it comes.

Have you guys encountered any unexpected outcomes or interesting insights since, since you have formed your collective with Lore, without Lore?

I would say, the competition for the clan was at first we didn't really know the rules and we were pretty confident that we can run on the top without any issues. Yeah. But was great competition and there were a lot of clans working on community on incentives and they had great ideas too.

So it was very competitive and from the Lore side of things, I would say it was new to all of us, pretty much. I think nobody was using Lore before and it was very flawless and we didn't really have any issues with it. And even if we had some questions or issues we, we just contacted ticket system support and it was solved pretty much instantly. So there was no issues at all, I would say.

I think what's quite amazing when we compare to like web2 have two products I think like which one might be quite similar. It's a tool called Ledgy where companies usually manage their equity. We used this in the previous company and the great thing with Lore is that you can get in, get out.

You have everything transparent exactly the use case for what blockchain is made. There is equity management functions in web 2, but has like, in my view, not the best user experience and lower utilized and of course blockchain to make it like fully transparent and also more liquid because you can then trade equity actually 24 7 and in traditional markets, you cannot do this.
