「Mint就送饮料」更像是LocalWeather借NFT完成新品牌启动的营销手段。

近日,NFT项目LocalWeather凭借魔性的设计风格吸引了一些加密爱好者关注,该系列NFT图片的主题是运动,但形象并非人物或动物,画面中仅有一双双「腿」和「手」,或进行滑板,或在打乒乓球等。

LocalWeather的创始团队颇为知名,包括美国超级碗冠军四分位RussellWilson,VaynerSports的联合创始人AJVaynerchuk,以及纽约设计机构Harper+Scott的子公司「H+SLabs」。名人背书下,LocalWeather在社交媒体获得了超过10万名粉丝关注。

该项目于5月31日启动了初始铸造(Mint),除了赋予持有者进入私人Discord频道、与明星嘉宾见面等权益外,还将向NFT持有者空投一箱LocalWeather品牌能量饮料。

「Mint就送饮料」更像是LocalWeather借NFT完成新品牌启动的营销手段。从官网介绍看,LocalWeather的主业是产销能量饮料,发行NFT只是不想埋没了饮料的瓶身设计。从行为本身目的来看,这类NFT发行既能让LocalWeather获得售卖NFT的收入,也可借此提高品牌的知名度。

值得注意的是,LocalWeather虽然有RussellWilson等明星背书,但明星加持NFT翻车的案例已不在少数。而作为一种营销手段,官方能否持续为该NFT增加替他功能还是未知数,因此它的价值也存在着不确定性,但将瓶身设计作为NFT出售却为广告设计行业提供了一个新商业范本。

LocalWeatherNFT厂家为饮料品牌

当中国李宁的服饰印上了NFT头部作品无聊猿的形象时,当耐克推出NFT虚拟球鞋时,NFT概念开始走出了它原本存在加密圈,不断与现实的商业实体结合,甚至逐渐成为新商业品牌完成热启动的营销方式。

近日,一个名为「LocalWeather」的NFT项目吸引了一些加密爱好者的关注。这个NFT图片系列的设计风格独特,每个画面里都有一个诸如晴天、雨天或阴天的天气标志,而主角不再是NFT头像中常见的人物或动物,仅有一双大长腿穿着不同的服饰玩滑板。

「LocalWeather」部分NFT示例

该系列中一些较为稀有的NFT图片以肢体的其他动作出现,比如乒乓球发球动作、打游戏机的动作、持锅烹饪的动作等。

没有人脸和表情,只用双腿或双手呈现不同天气下的各种运动,这类画风在以人物头像为主的NFT作品中较为独特,呈现出一种反差感。

「LocalWeather」手类运动NFT

凭借独特的设计风格,LocalWeather系列吸引了一些粉丝关注,官方推特已经拥有接近12万名追随者。5月31日,这个NFT系列正式开放铸造(Mint),白名单用户可以0.1495ETH申领NFT盲盒,在当前泛着冷清的NFT市场背景下,这个铸造价格不算便宜。

LocalWeather是一个NFT新品牌,但它的创始团队存在明星效应,算是它的加分项。

官网显示,LocalWeather核心创始团队有三人,分别是美国超级碗冠军四分位RussellWilson,运动品牌数字营销公司VaynerSports的联合创始人AJVaynerchuk,以及纽约设计机构Harper+Scott的子公司「H+SLabs」。值得一提的是,VaynerSports曾于不久前发行了VaynerSportsPass(VSP)NFT项目,这个体育类NFT引爆抢购热潮,一度导致以太坊Gas费急剧飙升,是当天为销毁ETH做出最多贡献的项目。

有明星运动员和创业者加持,LocalWeather在社交媒体的讨论热度可圈可点。根据官网介绍,NFT持有者未来可以拥有与RussellWilson、AJVaynerchuk和其他惊喜嘉宾进行私人Zoom会议的机会,以及参与独家的社区活动并访问私人Discord频道,除此之外,「每个NFT持有者将成为世界上第一个免费获得一箱LocalWeather性能饮料的人」——买NFT送实体,LocalWeather以此为品牌玩起营销。

如你所见,LocalWeather其实并不算是一个纯粹的NFT项目,它的「真身」是一个全新的性能饮料品牌。为什么这个饮料品牌要发行NFT?从官网的描述可以看到,发行LocalWeatherNFT可能纯粹是顺手的事。

「我们一直在研究一些疯狂的设计,它们在我们的包装上栩栩如生,但我们希望在所涉及的艺术方面做得更多。瓶子上只能装这么多——我们的大脑里有很多东西。NFT空间是分享和发展它的理想场所。」

这么看来,原本这些图片是能量饮料的外观设计,但LocalWeather团队认为这些设计很有艺术感,索性将它们以NFT的方式向加密用户发售。

NFT为广告设计提供商业新思路

LocalWeatherNFT的发行看上去有点偶然,但以NFT启动品牌、凝聚消费者的营销手段并不少见。一方面,它可以通过售卖NFT为饮料外包装进行的艺术设计的二次利用,有望增加一笔可观的收入;另一方面,NFT持有者们也容易组成一个社区,并转化成LocalWeather品牌的粉丝团体。

从介绍来看,LocalWeather官方有意打造一个线上的社区,并引导NFT持有者对未来能量饮料的口味、商品、慈善回馈计划进行投票。向NFT持有者空投实体能量饮料,并赋予他们对产品规划的投票权,LocalWeather玩出了DAO的感觉,这种营销和引流方式也可能被越来越多的品牌效仿。

借助发行NFT的一系列宣传,LocalWeather成功地让NFT关注者间接了解到这个新的能量饮料品牌,项目方在赚钱的同时把营销也做了。

值得注意的是,为了吸引更多的人购买LocalWeather系列NFT,该项目在网站尤为高调地呈现出橄榄球明星RussellWilson的背书,不仅列出了他超级碗冠军四分卫、企业家、慈善家和作家等个人荣誉,还强调其入选九个职业碗、在2021年荣获著名的沃尔特佩顿年度五月奖。

LocalWeather表示,NFT持有者能够参加抽奖活动以获取门票,获得RussellWilson和其他运动员比赛的独家体验;此外,持有者将有机会赢取罕见的RussellWilson签名和其他名人朋友的商品和纪念品。

RussellWilson更像是LocalWeather的形象大使。过去,商品的代言人除了会以形象照的方式出现在产品广告上,也会出席商家组织的营销活动。如今,NFT以权益的方式出现,增加了消费者与代言人互动的方式。

借助RussellWilson的影响力,LocalWeather正在为NFT销售摇旗呐喊。不过,从过去的案例来看,明星加持NFT翻车的例子并不少。包括著名歌星周杰伦加持的PhantaBearNFT系列在短暂火热后,便进入了价格快速下行的通道。

作为一个NFT,LocalWeather系列NFT的营销意味较浓,功能性较为常见,比如投票、凝聚社区、获得社区权益等都是NFT的常规功能。喜欢它设计的人大可通过Mint或购买获得NFT,但它本身的收藏或投资价值难以评估,NFT爱好者仍需谨慎获取。

相比NFT本身,LocalWeather以包装设计作为NFT内容发行的方式,为广告设计行业的商业模式和竞争提供了一种新思路。

过去,商家可能会以名人设计包装、独家包装设计的方式发行商品的限量版,广告设计费用最终由商家买单,商业转化率与商品销量直接挂钩。有了NFT,广告设计甚至可以与商品分离,付费主体不仅可以是广告主,还可以是喜欢设计的NFT藏家。

更重要的是,这种分离提供了一个评估广告设计是否受市场欢迎的维度,为商家挑选设计提供一种了参考。中国李宁购买#4102号无聊猿就是一个类似案例。无聊猿NFT本身不仅是藏品,还带有版权属性,中国李宁在NFT市场中设计中挑选了一个最热门的设计,将之印在了自己出品的服饰上,还以「快闪店主理人」的新玩法吸引消费者的眼球。

A 120,000 Yuan Tombstone or 399 Yuan AI Immortality: Which Would You Choose?

"The 'Deathcare Moutai' Fushouyuan, once a highly profitable cemetery operator, has halted trading amid a severe crisis, with its net profit plummeting by 52.8% in 2024. This reflects a broader trend of people rejecting expensive traditional burials, as average grave prices in China have soared to over ¥120,000. In response, the industry is pivoting to digital alternatives, with companies like Fushouyuan offering AI-powered memorial services, such as virtual farewell halls and AI-generated recreations of the deceased. Simultaneously, a low-cost, unregulated AI 'resurrection' industry has emerged online, with services priced as low as ¥399. These often use open-source tools to create crude digital avatars from photos and voice clips, exploiting vulnerable individuals, particularly bereaved parents who have lost their only child. However, these services raise significant ethical and legal concerns, including data privacy risks and potential use in scams. Academic studies warn that such AI companions may exacerbate grief, leading to prolonged mourning disorders and emotional dependency, rather than providing genuine comfort. While regulations are being drafted to manage digital human services, the deep emotional drive to 'reconnect' with loved ones often overshadows rational concerns. Ultimately, the article questions whether digital immortality truly preserves memory or merely offers a commercialized illusion, emphasizing that no technology can replace the real, irreplaceable loss of a human life."

Exploring Bitcoin Valuation in 2026 from Macro and On-Chain Structural Perspectives

Tiger Research analyzes Bitcoin's valuation outlook for 2026 from macro and on-chain perspectives. Despite a 27% price drop in Q1, the macro environment remains supportive. Global M2 hit a record $13.44 trillion, but Chinese liquidity, which contributed over 60% of M2 growth, has limited access to Bitcoin markets. The Iran conflict pushed oil prices higher, raising March CPI to 3.3% and narrowing the Fed's rate cut path. However, the easing direction remains intact. Bitcoin ETF flows turned positive in March after five months of outflows, and corporate accumulation continues. On-chain metrics show a shift from undervaluation to early equilibrium. Key indicators like MVRV-Z and NUPL have exited panic zones. The critical resistance is at $78k, the long-term holder cost basis, while the key support is at $54k. Although transaction counts increased, active addresses and average transfer size declined, indicating superficial growth rather than real network expansion. BTCFi ecosystem growth has weakened, leading to a -10% adjustment in fundamental metrics. The 12-month price target is set at $143k, based on a $132.5k neutral benchmark adjusted by -10% (fundamentals) and +20% (macro). This represents a 103% upside from current levels. Short-term catalysts include a break above $78k, sustained ETF inflows, and a Fed policy shift post-geopolitical de-escalation.

Anthropic Starts Poaching Scientists? $27K Weekly Onsite Stipend to Fix Claude's Expert-Level Errors

Anthropic has launched a new STEM Fellow program, offering $3,800 per week for a three-month, in-person residency in San Francisco. The role targets experts from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields—machine learning experience is helpful but not required. Instead, Anthropic values scientific judgment and a willingness to learn quickly. Fellows will work with Claude models and internal tools under the guidance of an Anthropic researcher. Example projects include a materials scientist identifying errors in Claude’s reasoning or a climate scientist integrating atmospheric modeling software with Claude. The goal is to have experts "tell Claude where it's wrong" and improve its scientific capabilities. This initiative is part of Anthropic’s broader strategy to strengthen its scientific ecosystem, following earlier programs like the AI Safety Fellows and AI for Science programs. The company acknowledges that current AI models, while powerful, still produce high-confidence errors and lack end-to-end research autonomy. The program aims to embed domain expertise directly into model development, turning scientists into "high-level reviewers" for AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously emphasized AI’s potential to accelerate scientific breakthroughs, particularly in biology and healthcare. The company believes that the next phase of AI competition will depend not on scaling parameters, but on integrating human expertise to refine model accuracy and reliability.
