🎂Gen-1 Sale Recap - Genesis Event
The launch and sale of 10k Gen-1 SGF cyborgs last month marked the Genesis event of the Stellar Galactic Force Universe. A lot of noteworthy events and activities happened before and after the genesis event. Let's visit them again...
Social Support 🙏
Got early push and push and support from @SOLBigBrain pre-launch
As a token of appreciation, we gifted a little something to Ser @SOLBigBrain
@joemccann showed belief and endorsed SGF!
Some more noteworthy support that we received from the top minds in the ecosystem pre-launch (including support by top minds from GitHub, Nike, Angellist, Brave and more!)
5x Billboard comedy chart-topper David Weasel, who has over half a million followers on Twitter liked one of our cyborgs' tweets!
BRO @DaveWeasel LIKED MY TWEET @SGFUnitedFast forward to the last 10 seconds. Gives me @FortniteGame vibes :) @SGFUnited https://t.co/Xlq7Mnv3WAskittles @pucketacesEx CTO of GitHub Jason Werner bought some of our cyborgs from the secondaries!
Former Nike Brand Designer Rick Bakas aped in!
CEO of Wild Earth Pets, former VP of Angellist Ryan Bethencourt aped in too!

I'm finally done accumulating 12 @SGFUnited , which are now stored in a seperate SGF dedicated Phantom wallet @NFP_SGF @BrendanEich @joemccann Would have loved to snag more Tactician Generals, but 12 is a good number, since I am not (yet) a whale like @SOLBigBrain LFG!!!We later shared a light banter following this ourselves...
Helping the rug pulled 🆘
When @IconicsSol, another Solana NFT Project rugged its poor users, the SGF cyborg team was quick to send soldiers in for a rescue mission. We were saddened and shocked by this event, and absolutely against such actions that defame the ecosystem in general.
We resorted to airdropping cyborg soldiers to those that got rugged post the conclusion of our sale 1.
Some early video coverage 📺
Influencers in the space showed early trust in the project, roadmap, and the team. Here are some of the noteworthy video coverage that we received:
Never Hedge called us the next Axie!
Had an AMA with Barn Dog in the Grape Protocol Server
Gen 1 Sale Performance 📊
Sale 1: 2000 cyborgs sold out in under 4 minutes
Sale 2: 8000 cyborgs sold out in under 6 minutes

💵 Post Sale Events
Let’s revisit some of the most notable post-sale events: team building, floor sweeps, collaborations, and a lot more.
Floor Sweeps 🧹
Check out how we helped our 'betrayed cyborgs' in our community release video below:
Airdrops ✈️
The SGF team has been airdropping SGF cyborgs and other NFTs in collaboration with some other cool projects in the space. Check out one of the airdrops below:
Partnerships 📜
We also found two incredible artists from within our community. These talented folks had been participating in our community art events and their talent and potential became very obvious to us. One thing led to the other and both of them were eventually launched officially as artists under the SGF Media House banner.
SGF is a media house, and we take pride in and launching talent. These are just the first two of the many such stories that will arise out of the systems that we are building.
Check out our official announcements of these partnerships using the link below:
Collaborations 🤝
BitBrawl
Our friends at BitBrawl had been building an online PVP game of SOL. This is where you could battle with your favorite NFTs on over 10 hand-drawn maps. We liked the concept and decided to collaborate and airdrop 5 tokenized cyborg characters - which can directly be dropped into the bitbrawler arena.
This is how this collab unfolded:
This is how the final cyborg characters looked:
GMoot
We also collaborated with the cool GMoot Project to airdrop some exciting collectibles to Gmoots.

💰Funds and Hiring
SGF Ecosystem Fund 💰
Total Royalty till Nov 1, 2021 : 231.51/0.8 = 316.89 SOL
SGF Ecosystem Fund: 10% of the above = 31.69 SOL
SGF Core Team contributing 90% of their royalities = 70% of the above X 90% = 199.64 SOL
Total with SGF Ecosystem Fund = 231.33 SOL
Worth around $56k USD all waiting to be deployed back into our community.
It's worth noting that when there was maximum hype for the project, the team has diverted most of their royalties back to SGF Ecosystem Fund. And now that the hype has decreased a little, given the focus for us has shifted from marketing to heavy development side, the SGF team has full incentives to get the royalties back up!
We will also soon release the full details related to the Grants Program of SGF Ecosystem Fund.
Hiring + Referral Incentive 🤝
We are actively hiring and adding to the firepower of our team at SGF. As per the recently released referral incentive program, anyone who refers a potential kind and eager cyborg to the SGF team stands a chance to win $1500 worth SOL if the referred person makes it through!
