CyberBrokers are building a free-wheeling, vivid and exceptionally entertaining new world of NFT collectables. All co-owned and created alongside their fans.
200 years from now, beneath our fozen earth, the last of humanity plug their minds into a cirtual playground where anything goes. Welcome to The Paradigm Lost… home of the CyberBrokers.
In all directions
We explored multiple creative territories with CyberBrokers' founder, digital artist Josie Bellini before settling on "The Pinboard". This infinite canvas Homepage is designed to float visitors inside this metaverse, surrounded by incredible characters and relics.
Users can examine 3D objects, turn them over, and then dive deeper into their stories - exploring 10,001 character profiles, AI-generated locations, or data chips containing the latest tales from the 'Brokers' lore.
Future visions
Our UI design was inspired by futuristic OS with influences like GMUNK, Fallout, and Snow Crash. The interfaces are retro-future holographic but intentionally glitchy - as if they’ve been patched together for two centuries!
User controlled
We wanted a sense of exploration to run deeply through the site. Each CyberBroker character can have its on-chain layers turned on and off to uncover hidden qualities.
Users are co-creators in this world rather than just consumers. You can purchase and assemble giant robot NFT’s to your characters then port them into different 3D applications to tell your own stories.
Growth engine
The CyberBrokers website is built to grow, and has already expanded with a network of sites including Pretty’s Loot Store, and the Snap Shak Mech Garage.
Built on Storyblok the site has a deeply flexible system allowing CyberBrokers’ team to keep it constantly updated as their universe expands. And custom interfaces allow them to add new relics to the Homepage or 3D locations.
