content: Ragnarok Meta NFT is an Ethereum-based collection of 7,777 Ronin Zero NFTs that will act as the holders' PFP and identity in the Ragnarok metaverse. Each Ronin NFT comes with a range of accessories including weapons, X-ray glasses, VR headsets, and others. Ragnarok Meta has attracted high volume, with over 13.6k ETH ($57.4 million) in secondary trade and an OpenSea floor price of 2.8 ETH as of the time of this writing. Overview The Ragnarok Meta NFTs- Ronin Zero will grant holders access to the Ragnarok metaverse, which is a browser-based, Web 3 Multiplayer Online role-playing game. On April 27, 2022, the Genesis collection of the Ronin Zero NFTs was released. However, not all Ronin NFTs are created equal; some have rarer qualities than others. Some features are just cosmetic, such as a cool flex for holders' PFP, while others provide additional in-game utility. Ragnarok Meta includes a vast and experienced NFT team of 27 people who worked to create the NFT project and game, led by Fanfaron, a three-time startup founder and crypto enthusiast since 2016. Speaking on the Ronin Zero NFTs, the team said: We wanted to take the humble PFP further. In the Ragnarök metaverse, your profile picture is no mere static digital image, it’s an animated playable in-game character, which one day you’ll even be able to take into all the other metaverses. It will have abilities, skills, strengths, weaknesses, accessories, friends. Our hope is that it will represent you in a much more holistic sense.

Ronin Zero (Lore) Nobody knows the true nature of the beginning, how it all started. It is a tale lost to time. What we do know is that there were some who escaped capture, who avoided a life of servitude and digital incarceration. These brave warriors possessed the strength to fight back against the Pixels, the skill and cunning to elude the evil forces that had put a blight on humanity.

About Sasha Kim Sasha Kim (Digital Artist) Sasha started drawing when she was a little kid and hasn’t stopped since then. Her digital began in 2011 when she purchased her first graphic tablet. I remember how I cried because I thought it’s gonna be like these new Wacoms with displays, and I just got this cheap Genius tablet! But it’s fine, actually, I still use a cheap, simple tablet, and I’m totally in love with it. NFT Journey In October 2021, Sasha made an accidental discovery of NFTs. She was fascinated by a tweet from one of her favorite artists about their NFT auction and decided to learn more. She expressed her delight in knowing more about the NFT world. This was so intense that she posted her first 1/1 NFT on Foundation (NFT Market) a few days later. Her first major NFT project was the collaboration with the Ragnarok Meta team to create the PFP collection- Ronin NFTs. Speaking on her inspiration for the Ronin NFT creation, she said: I would say it was a mix of 80–90s anime aesthetics. Elements of Naruto (my fav), Demon Slayer (Fanfaron’s fav), tech wear culture, street culture, cyberpunk… The main inspiration was manga comic style, with bold outlines. My personal style has changed a lot through time, but anime has always been my favourite.
