Hey everyone!
Here’s a medium article outlining the
@GraphiteProto
.
We tried to condense a very complex eco-system into a small read so people can read it no matter where they are.
There’ll be recorded ama’s and content about each point here.
Oil may be the key to unlocking various secrets.
Oil may have multiple purposes, Oil may be the key to unlocking Gen3.
Maybe Oil is one of the most valuable commodities in digital world as it is irl.
Everyone in Solana will want Oil.
Taiyo very much operates like a business.
All staff are contracted; some work in an office, some remotely.
We have HR, Legal, and Accounting.
We’ve managed to save enough money to last quite a long time in an environment like the one we’re in today.
I'm afraid that we have made a mistake with the branding of Taiyo.
We're a group of builders/business guys who came into Crypto looking to build cool products and run them as businesses.
Because of this, we branded Taiyo as a tech project..
Greetings!
As you know the new chapter for Taiyo is coming soon.
A token that aligns with our technical ambitions and products.
Under these ambitions we are looking for awesome tech products to integrate
I’m happy to announce our first partner for
@GraphiteProto
@GenesysGo
Currently we make 8x more a month from services we offer than the royalties generated from all Taiyo assets.
This is only with development services & launchpad.
Next revenue products we aim to make it 20x 🫡
Becoming self sufficient and a profitable company.
Bullish.
There were around 100,000 people on the mint page for that public
@UkiyoNFT_
mint.
It doesn't count unique visitors so it could be people with multiple browsers open.
But i think 30,000+ unique.
Bull run back?
In the next 2 days we anticipate minting the first NFT's on the mainnet with our royalty enforcement technology.
We plan to integrate it into one MP and show the world as a POC, and then make the solution broad and natively integrated into the
@GraphiteProto
contract for others.
Pretty much all Taiyo's trading volume is done OTC. As much as we would like to make a royalty on transfers, we can’t stop the open market from doing what they want.
We won’t be punishing OTC buyers but if you want to support the team using a platform with royalties helps!
Even though we care a lot and will continue to work on our $SOL based products.
We're happy to announce that we're on the short list of first launches on
@opensea
.
We believe that bringing new eyes to the project will only help us grow and we're excited to see what happens. 🤖
Have booked 6 development clients since our announcement yday.
Puts the current month revenue at 50% of the previous one.. 1 day into it.
Next stop

Next stop

Next stop all our work the past 5 months being pushed out.
A lot of Taiyo holders are meeting up in LA for
@StonedApeCrew
's event.
We'll be trying to send one of our employees out there to meet everyone, this'll include a decent amount of spending money to treat holders to drinks and food. 🤖
He’s the comprehensive white paper for Graphite. We are still filling out all the information about the Taiyo/Pilots nfts but it gives an idea on Graphite itself.

Taiyo is looking to setup a Validator to support the Solana eco-system.
Instead of sitting back and hoping other people solve our problems, we want to do our part to help network stability.
Here's to a better Solana network. 🤖
Introducing our new token “Launchpad”.
A simple process to launch a new SPL token on Solana.
Built and shipped in 1 day.
50% of fees goes towards market buying
@GraphiteProto

Happy memecoining 🫡
We didn’t raise a normal round on Graphite.
We were raising at the worst peak of Solana when FTX collapsed and faith was lost in traditional vc’s.
We decided to only allow individuals who cared about Solana to invest.
The round was led by
@SOLBigBrain
.
The next set of launches over 10 days will earn an estimate $200,000 for Taiyo.
-50% = $100,000 in affiliate share ( with sol at $30)
There’s never been a better time to buy an infant or stake your Gen1 for 30-60 days.
Next revenue products coming soon - web3 adult content
Did you know that Taiyo was bought out from developers who were rugging the project, and the new owners got $0 from mint or any previous money before the take-over?
Bet on people who don't want to milk your funds and are delivering value.🤖
Taiyo will continue to try to get the best launches on our launchpad and provide as much value to our holders when we secure them as possible.
We get around 400 spots for Taiyo for each launch we do (2300 unique holders in total).
Including
@UkiyoNFT_
Taiyo = the place to be.
Clearing up misconceptions that have spread in Twitter spaces:
1) This 120m valuation number they throw around is made up; this has never been a number said by us.
2) Sweeping 200 Taiyo's before take over announcement; there's never been 200 listed and we don't own 200.
Our whitelist mint platform just had 15,000 people on it, with a SHIT ton of scrap trading just to mint a whitelist spot.
Imagine when Graphite is released and people like
@UkiyoNFT_
have a % of their mint in Graphite which all gets burnt.
BULLISH!.
Support has been insane lately.
It seems like everything is starting to fall into place.
Revenue streams are cooking, Taiyo's are printing, morale is high, making new partners left and right, and legal close to being done.
What a time to be alive.

@TheBastards_xyz
first raffle is now live.
Info: 👇
1. 50 mints available to winners, airdropped on mint day.
2. You can win multiple mintsfrom the same wallet.
3. 5 $GP cost.
4. 280 more mints to raffle.
We are giving some spots out to people who like & retweet this tweet.
I'm happy to announce that we have acquired a manufacturing company and will be creating each Taiyo into a physical mecha which is piloted by the owner of the NFT.
Been a long time the making, and we're so happy to share the good news with everyone.
Good luck to
@DeGodsNFT
and
@y00tsNFT
today on their launch.
Will be exciting to see how it all plays out. 🤝
We have some announcements planned for
@TaiyoPilots
in the next few days 👀
50 sol floor has been achieved.
This is cause for celebration, I want to see the biggest beep boop you can give me.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BOOOOOOOOOOOP 🤖
1/ Gm
We've updated our roadmap on Discord.
Taiyo's roadmap will consist of two parts:
Part 1: Taiyo's official roadmap.
Part 2: Value-add roadmap tying in
@Solportio
products to benefit Taiyo holders.
Lets start with part 1 which focuses on $SCRAP utility..
Finding Solana developers can be quite difficult and expensive.
People who know Solana are a niche group of people, so the price is usually 5x more than a normal developer.
Being a business that cares about our expenses and doesn't have 100m of VC funds to blow we had to find.
Our
@GraphiteProto
Move division have almost recreated our Launchpad tech on Aptos 👀. We’ll also be looking into SUI as well and benefiting affiliates only via our nfts on the $SOL blockchain.
Cross-chain revenue but assets belong on SOL, securing our future.
Just got informed that the legal side of
@GraphiteProto
is now fully done including regulatory framework and company setups.
We still have one lawyer review pending with an American law firm that is determining if Graphite would be a security in the US.
Exciting times.🥂
We have hired a new product lead for IRL products.
Someone who has spent multiple years in eCommerce, owns a printing studio, and is a close friend of the company.
Expect multiple drops every month and merch auctions for 1/1 items. 🤫
Introduction tomorrow.
We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with
@tensor_hq
.
Taiyo will be working closely with Tensor on our launchpad operations, a joint effort focused on growth.
Our goal is to work with the highly skilled Tensor team and help them achieve the top spot.
LFG!
1/ We've been looking to split Taiyo into 4 parts:
Part 1: Tech division.
Part 2: Token/Project planning.
Part 3: Physical products/Branding.
Part 4: Community development/events.
We've been looking to assign project leads for each part and then expand it out from there..
I'm happy to announce a strategic partnership uniting the Bamilla and the Taiyo family.
We'll be building out some of the Zillaz's technological needs starting with Breeding,which fits right in with the Taiyo's goals and ambitious to become a powerhouse community.
Beep ROAR.
Taiyo gotta be the one dao more dumb then degendao when it comes to degen mints, these idiots bot 1000 then dump the floor and wonder why it dumped to 0, maybe cause u M'fers didnt let anyone else mint, terrible unique owners ratio
We’re targeting protocol level.
Our new minting contract is a collective 7 months of experience with anti-bot and creator demands all built into one master contract.
Essentially our own version of a candy machine.👀
By the way, what would you call something like that?
We just crossed $55m GMV on Taiyo/Solport products after the mint today.
From a de-rug to being one of the leaders in the SOL eco-system, it's been quite a journey!
Over $1 billion GMV by the end of 2023 is the goal! 🥳
I’m happy to announce that
@GraphiteProto
raised $1.4m in an angel round led by
@SOLBigBrain
to build the next generation of minting and creator tooling across multiple blockchains.
Congrats to the
@dust_labs
team on finalizing their seed round.
Looks like a lot of projects are raising funds.👀
@GraphiteProto
announcement up next. 🫡
Graphite won’t be what people expect it to be.
We haven’t been vocal about what we’re working on to stop front running.
Sometime soon we’re going to schedule an ama and explain it all.
That is the day Taiyo moves to the next level.
We’re thinking big.
I'm happy to announce that we've partnered with
@MatricaLabs
to add on to our creator suite and ambitions.
Matrica, being a creator-focused product, fit our ambitions perfectly.
They've managed to take the verification market by storm and are the current leader in the field.
Congratulations to
@BlocksmithLabs
on their Bi-frost announcement.
I know people are saying their model sounds like our road-map, but here's why it's different.
@GraphiteProto
is modeled around a launch eco-system utilizing the tech we've built on our launchpad, that's true.
Let's try something.
Every GEN1 that gets sold ( including the 2 that just got bought) will get a Pilot whitelist guaranteed.
If we reach 250 Sol floor by tonight, every person who bought today will get a 10L oil can out of our own pockets (17 Sol floor).
GEN1 only for now.
Gm!
Yesterday was a good day as we had 3 new BAYC members join the Taiyo family.
Excited to welcome our ETH friends over to SOL and glad they stumbled across Taiyo as their first purchase. 🤝
We are going to be working on a revshare payout schedule.
Probably once a month is the timeline we’re looking at.
We anticipate around 1000-1500 $SOL a month to be distributed.
This is on top of Staking for $Scrap/Graphite.
OIL has utility after Pilots.
Burn oil for Graphite staking boost.
Hold for a future airdrop.
Will be interesting to see people speculate and decide what they think is best. 👀
0ff1c3r-117 has been sold for 888.88 SOL a record auction for the Taiyo project.
Congrats to the buyer, and thanks for having faith in us!
This auction officially has made our acquisition reach the break even mark. This proves that buying out a project can WORK.
Beep Boop 🤖
People worried that projects may not be able to survive the current market conditions.
We just hired two new community members today on the full-time team and are expanding, when stuff is down it's time to build for when the good times come back around.
There were some hiccups which we're investigating and will resolve moving forward.
But all that aside,
Taiyo is becoming self-sufficient with revenue, with a projected revenue of $500,000 this month from goods and services.
We're attracting the best launches/clients.
Now that the legal side is done for Graphite it's time to plan the IDO date and the switch to Graphite. 🤖
A token that aligns closely with Taiyo's ambitions and goals in the eco-system.
Our reign is just starting.🤫
We believe that in order for Solana to thrive that all collections must have inter-connectivity rather than feel the need to compete against each other.
We want to make products that can intertwine the top collections and we have been talking to them about it in private. 👀
Another 12 launches booked.
Including a big one on October 3rd. 🤫
Market share for launches = Taiyo atm.
Graphite = benefit from our market share.
All coming together.
12th of November 7-9pm UTC We’re going to be hosting our first ever space covering the roll out to
@GraphiteProto
and how the Taiyo company looks moving forward.
Led by
@SolportTom
and Taiyo community members.
We invite anyone to join in and learn more about us. 🤝
By the time the bull market comes back around Taiyo will be at the forefront of Tech in SOL.
We are building tons in the background right now, including some SAAS platforms to further increase our value propositions.
Eventually all these aspirations will powered by Graphite.
Graphite will power SOL NFTS.
In 2023 we believe 80% of projects will be using a Graphite service.
Tomorrow we’ll announce the $Scrap swap close date.
And we’ll drop Scrap’s last utility before the close date of the swap.
Graphite = doing stuff differently.
During a down market where our previous revenue streams have gone down (launching and creator services), we've taken the time to think about the future of revenue for the project.
Some of these things we've been working on will be done under new brands and not under Taiyo.
Mint pass information: 🧵
As we start to drop our Discord for Pilots and build hype we'll start decreasing the mint-pass supply day by day, currently there's a total supply of 5000 that gets you a guaranteed mint.
After our Discord drops we'll lower it to 4000.
ETA: Saturday.
