Animoca Brands subsidiary Motorverse launches NFT collection “Torque Squad”

Motorverse Corporation, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, announced the launch of the Torque Squad project – a collection of 8,888 racing avatar NFTs called “Torqies” that acts as the entry point to the Motorverse ecosystem, which is partnered with the REVV Motorsport ecosystem. Torqie NFTs are generated with individually styled details and intricate hand-drawn artwork to delight motorsport enthusiasts.

The first Torqie presale starts on 2 April 2022; for more information see https://www.torquesquad.io.

The Torque Squad project has partnered with various of the top racers across the world of motorsport, including Juan Pablo Montoya, Joey Logano, Brad Binder, Rene Rast, and Sebastian Montoya. 

Grammy nominee Tina Guo and composer Steve Mazzaro, who have worked on music for various major motion pictures including Inception, Dune, Dunkirk, Wonder Woman, Interstellar, No Time To Die, Batman vs Superman, and others, have composed “The Soundtrack to Motorverse”, which can be heard at https://www.torquesquad.io and will be available on Spotify soon.

More than just images or profile pictures (PFPs), Torqies offer true utility across multiple areas in both the real and virtual worlds. Ownership of a Torqie provides entry to the Motorverse ecosystem, which is being integrated with REVV Motorsport and is adopting the REVV Token as its ecosystem utility token. Additionally, various REVV ecosystem NFTs will be supported in several of the upcoming Motorverse experiences. 

Motorverse is a lifestyle blockchain platform consisting of games, fashion, events, DeFi, and much more. It is a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, the company advancing digital property rights for gaming and the metaverse and the driving force behind the pioneering REVV Motorsport ecosystem that includes REVV Racing, MotoGP™ Ignition, and Formula E: High Voltage.

Currently, in development, the Motorverse platform will feature the following: 

• Real-Life and Virtual Events, such as Grand Prix tickets, VIP trackside experiences, competitive esports, live streams with your favourite drivers, and more. For details on upcoming events, see https://www.torquesquad.io.

Produced in partnership with a world-class designer based in London, the Torque Squad fashion and streetwear line is designed to exceed the quality and expectations that are standard in the market, and will stand out both in real life and the metaverse. 
• The Motorverse: gain access to the first-of-its-kind, Web3 social platform for motorsports enthusiasts. The Motorverse connects participating users on a decentralized hub as a gateway to the metaverse, with interoperable NFTs and interactive experiences including 3D games and more.
• Future NFT Releases will be made available first to holders of Torque Squad avatars. Holders will either be immediately eligible or automatically whitelisted for releases from Torque Squad and Motorverse. NFTs will include custom vehicles, equipment, and branded NFTs developed in collaboration with key partners.
