Blockchain technology company Advokate Group today announced its first two Hero NFT pre-sale drops were tremendously successful as consumers prefer a metaverse on the decentralized blockchain. Advokate is also announcing the public sale of the remaining 1,200 Striker and Sniper Hero NFTs is now live at MetaGaia, each minting for 0.88 SOL. The two presale drops saw 600 Hero NFTs sold out within hours. Hero NFTs minted during the pre-sale drops have since re-sold on Magic Eden for as much as 11 SOL (US$988).
One reason for the success of the NFT drops is consumers want a decentralized metaverse. Over three quarters (77%) of consumers are against Facebook owning metaverse data, with 87% preferring a metaverse on the decentralized blockchain, according to a new survey of 1,000 U.S. consumers commissioned by Advokate Group. This sentiment was even more pronounced among Gen Z respondents who were 10% more likely to prefer a blockchain metaverse than their Millennial counterparts.
Each of the unique Striker and Sniper Hero NFTs being minted can be used as an avatar in the Solana-based metaverse MetaGaia and a character for HexaHero, a play-to-earn robot strategy game where opponents battle to earn crypto.
Once you get a HexaHero’s Hero NFT, you can:
- Use it as a Hero in HexaHero
- Gain early access to MetaGaia

- Use it in other upcoming games in MetaGaia
- Get Whitelist priority for upcoming $METG IDO

MetaGaia is the first metaverse to enable consumers to play-to-earn game, socialize, shop brands and buy virtual real estate. HexaHero, the first game to be released in the MetaGaia metaverse, is a play-to-earn game that enables players to buy, breed and sell NFT Hexas and NFT Heros. Players use Hero avatars to pilot Hexa robots in one-on-one battles with other players. Each Hero NFT is equipped with a unique set of attributes that must be used strategically in HexaHero to win battles against other players.
In the recent metaverse survey, gaming and socializing were the top two preferred activities. Also, over 93% of respondents want to earn money that can be transferred outside the game.
“Our first Hero NFT pre-sale drops were remarkably successful and participants were excited for the immersive Metagaia experience coming soon with a variety of thrilling, fun play-to-earn games,” said Gordon Kwok, CEO and Founder of Advokate Group.
