If you've always dreamt of reigning a kingdom, Web3 offers endless opportunities to realize this. The NFT collection of Kusama Kingdom not only provides you the chance to be a king or a queen, but also to produce an heir, and experience a wealth of privileges alongside memorable moments.
The Kusama Kingdom stands as the top-ranking NFT collection within the Kusama ecosystem. This initiative, initially centered around community growth, was inaugurated in 2021. As of now, it boasts of 110 kings and 110 queens categorized into four degrees of rarity - 60 being limited, 25 classified as rare, 15 as ultra-rare, and 10 as legendary.

The genesis of the kingdom was marked by the NFT collection Kusama Kings, which swiftly accumulated a wide fanbase. Amidst a rapidly growing popularity, the project initiators, within a span of few months, introduced the Kingpad service. This feature grants the holders of these collectible kings access to seed and private funding rounds for crypto-based ventures. Moreover, a charity auction named "Limited King" was organized for Unicef, which successfully raised $15,000.
The year 2022 saw an even more energetic expansion of the NFT kingdom:
- In January, a dedicated investment fund, named 'The King's Bounty', amassing $110,000, was established for king holders;
- In March, to ensure the kings weren't feeling lonesome, NFT collections - Kusama Queens, Royal Babies, and Cursed Frogs were unveiled;
- In April, the inaugural offline event for the kingdom's ardent followers was arranged. This exclusive event was hosted in Amsterdam to coincide with King's Day;
- In August, the queen holders were granted access to a risk-free DeFi fund known as 'The Queen's Jewels', valued at $111,000.
Digital Kingdom = Tangible Opportunities
A substantial part of the Kusama Kingdom collection's popularity is attributed to its practical benefits for NFT owners. Every holder of a king and queen is privy to the exclusive Great Hall on Discord, where they can tap into a wide range of opportunities with other projects within the Kusama ecosystem, participate in crowd loans, and attend offline gatherings.

When engaging with Kusama Kingdom, the unique history that each user can craft is indeed praiseworthy. Owners of digital kings and queens are offered the chance to unite in marriage and receive a virtual wedding ring. This requires a formal announcement of the impending nuptials in the Great Hall's Chapel channel.
Matrimony in the kingdom is a singular event, and compliance with this rule is ensured by an authentic wedding registry. Users can extend their lineage and spawn a royal offspring by burning the ring, which gives rise to a digital descendant, hand-drawn in the likeness of the NFT parents.

As is typical in any fantasy saga, Kusama Kingdom is replete with ancient legends. There are ten digital Legendary Swords, one for each of the ten mythical kings. To procure an NFT from this collection, an individual must possess one king of each rarity level: limited, rare, ultra-rare, and legendary. Each user who owns a legendary sword reaps double the profits from The King's Bounty.

Each of the ten legendary queens can anticipate acquiring Cursed Frogs. The prerequisites for owning a digital frog mirror those for legendary swords: the potential owner should have a queen of all four rarity grades. This virtual cursed amphibian also brings real benefits: possession of a frog doubles the revenue from The Queen's Jewels.

It's important to note that neither the swords nor the frogs grant access to the Great Hall. Only owners of NFT kings and queens can become part of the kingdom.
The Digital Kingdom's Real-world Conquest
The project's prime focus is community development, facilitated not only through active Discord communications but also regular offline events. While previous Kusama Kingdom events have taken place in the Netherlands and Croatia, the organizers have plans for a future global tour of the royal family.
