In the crypto and NFT space, the whale symbolizes the “big guy” - The rich and powerful who can buy whatever they want and move markets as they pleased.
Whales normally get fatter (richer) and fatter while the "little guy" like you and I struggle to make it, often trying to jump on the trail left by the whales and hoping to gain a little something…
So we decided to put something unique together that could help all of us navigate this big ocean, try to gain an edge and propel us forward.
WhaleTogether was built on the concept that “together, we're stronger” and this is the very culture we strive to foster in our community.
Alone, each one of us is a small fish, but when we come together as one, we can become as strong as a whale 🐋
We currently have a single tool with multiple features but we envision this will grow into more than one tool as we continue to mature as a project.
Holding an Alphie Whale (NFT) gives you access to our WhaleSniper Extension, which is a Chrome/Brave/Edge extension that provides extra functionality to your NFT buying experience on OpenSea. We've also started working on our WhaleSniper Web Tool with the same plus more advanced features. More info on the web tool below.
Our current features are:
1. Rarity rankings - Fetch the rarity/ranking of the whole collection with the click of a button. You can see rankings displayed on the “Items” and “Activity” tabs on OpenSea.
2. Top traits/properties - Below the rarity rankings, a total trait count is displayed as well as the top traits held by the specific NFT with total ownership percentage (%) within that collection. This can be turned off.
3. Quick buy buttons - When you click our buy buttons on the “Items” or “Activity” tabs, your Metamask extension gets triggered for you to confirm the transaction (our tool doesn’t approve it on your behalf for security purposes). This helps with “sniping” so you don’t have to first click through to the listing, then click OpenSea’s buy button. With our tool you’re able to see the rarity, the top traits and then click “buy” all from the “Items” and “Activity” tabs.
4. Gas preset - Set a gas preset for priority + amount of gas you’re willing to pay. This gas preset also helps with “sniping” NFTs with the “quick buy buttons” above. When two or more people click “buy” on a listing around the same time, the person willing to pay the highest amount of gas will get the NFT. This is called a “gas war”. With our tool you can pre-set a slightly higher than normal gas amount linked to the “quick buy buttons” to make sure you win the purchase when trying to snipe undervalued NFTs in popular collections.
5. Contract ninja - Enter the collection’s contract address + number of NFTs to be minted + price of NFTs to buy directly from the collection’s contract. This is not a bot (yet) and still a manual process. This is just an easy, straightforward way for you to mint directly from a contract rather than on a website if you don’t know how to do it on Etherscan (a bit tedious). The value of it, apart from making things easier, is that you can buy directly from the contract if the collection’s website is down (overloaded). It can also help you mint quicker.
6. Gas tracker - See live gas prices directly from the extension’s widget without you needing to go on yet another website to check gas prices.
7. Floor prices - Convenient floor price reader from wherever you are on OpenSea.
WhaleSniper Extension (redesign):
WhaleSniper Web Tool (in progress)
We're creating a web tool that bypasses OpenSea when buying NFTs. This will increase the performance of your snipes and add more features that we already have on the extension.
There will be two versions of our web tool - Standard and Pro:
Standard - Release date: Live (beta) - Features: Similar features to our extension + smart filtering, pre-approve collections for sale, wallet delegation, bypassing OpenSea which improves sniping. More to come. Requires 1 Alphie. - That means you only need to hold 1 of our NFTs to use WhaleSniper Extension and WhaleSniper Web Tool (Standard features).
Pro - Release date: TBC. - Features: Auto-sniping. More Pro features will follow which are focused on automation. Requires 3 Alphie’s. That means you need to hold 3 of our NFTs in order to use these Pro features when released.
This is in order to continue to provide a product/service that is both sustainable for the project and functional in the most optimal way for holders. We simply cannot provide automation for 5k holders and have them compete against each other, hence why those holding 3 or more Alphie's will be able to use Pro features.
We've also recently added our own private node for holders, which we call the "Moon Node".
This will help you perform faster transactions via Metamask when sniping, transferring, buying, etc. And smoother interactions in general. This is due to using the private node (network) for interactions instead of the more congested public network provided by the mainnet that everyone uses
The performance we've been seeing is equivalent to Justcubes' Supernode for those wondering. As a disclaimer, we'd like to set the expectations right that we're not looking to compete to provide the fastest possible node in the market. It's not our main focus and we don't need to provide the fastest one for now because our web tool will have other elements in place to make your sniping experience top notch. Take the Moon Node as yet another utility because we just love adding as much value as we can for our holders!
The Moon Shop is our own innovating Marketplace solution for whitelists, NFTs or IRL items. We have the ability to run raffles, First-Come-First-Served sales and Dutch Auctions.
What makes our Marketplace unique?
Our shop interaction is completely gas-less and it comes with some really amazing features and innovations like:
You don't have to approve any contracts that require gas.
You don't have to stake anything to do anything, which nobody likes doing!
You don't have to pay gas to enter raffles or buy things, no matter how many interactions you have in the shop. As long as you have a balance in your account, it will be gas-less interactions.
You don't have to get confused and pay fees bridging to any other chains like Polygon and the like, or be annoyed by having to constantly change networks within your Metamask whenever you interact with the shop.
We've created a shop you can interact with on our website AND within Discord through a bot. Enter raffles and buy things by simply reacting to the bot or go on the website, it's all synchronised so it's up to you how you go about it!
You're able to choose two different wallets for your convenience if you'd like to have one as your account that holds your Alphie's/$MOON and a different wallet for WL/minting that is shared with partners.
For creators: Enforcing Discord server join and Twitter follow is available at the click of a button.

Art!
And before I forget!
Our NFT doesn't just have a placeholder like many other tools out there but it comes with awesome, eye-catching design by our amazing in-house artist.
2nd Pillar - WTG POD
This is our community and our exclusive knowledge hub.
We believe that a community is the most important aspect of any project!
A project without a strong community will fail… or it may experience initial success but it will eventually fade away.
As said previously, WhaleTogether is built on the concept that “together, we're stronger” and this is the very culture we’ve been striving to foster in our community.
We’re amazed at how quickly others have joined this mission. Our holders truly look out for one another helping each other with strategies, sharing hot collections and whitelist opportunities early, and generally pointing each other in the right direction
Our community is the cornerstone of how we whale-together (grow). Without each other, we continue to be the small fish in the big ocean, but together we become stronger by the day until we whale!
Another massive “utility” we have reserved only for Alphie holders is exclusive access to specific channels within our Discord community.
Right now these channels consist of Llama calls (Llamaverse), alpha calls, whitelist partnerships with other communities, educational resources like bidding strategies, sniping guides, tips and tricks, alpha specific chats, upcoming mints, and more to come.
$MOON Shop
Our holders can also access our $MOON Shop which is our innovative and unique Marketplace where holders can enter raffles, as well as First Come First Serve (FCFS) and Dutch Auctions (DA), to access whitelists for upcoming projects
We have a very unique marketplace solution that perfectly syncs our web-app version with our Discord bot so that holders can conveniently enter raffles, FCFS and DAs by just reacting to our Discord bot or on our website.
Our shop is currently being turned into a "product" that will be offered to partners as a service or in exchange for further utility for our holders.
These channels and benefits are “unlocked” to every Alphie holders once you verify your NFT via Collab.land within our Discord server.
3rd Pillar - WTG DAO & Protocol
This is where we hope to take everyone one day and together become a big whale! 🐋
Apart from all the utilities and resources already described, Alphie holders will get access to our upcoming DeFi Protocol focused on Digital Gaming Assets and Team Management.
We want to position ourselves as the go-to Protocol in this specific niche.
Some of our plans include:
Play-to-earn: We want to bridge the gap between gaming NFT owners and players (“scholars”).
Rent-to-earn: No time to play but can afford to fund? You can rent out your NFTs to be used by our “scholars”.
Gaming assets acquisitions and management: Strategic acquisition of assets in gaming, metaverse land and other gaming assets that can gain value as the crypto/P2E gaming industry continues to grow.
We're exploring options to set up teams and managers who can play P2E games similar to Axie Infinity and others on behalf of our Protocol and eventually Alphie holders who may want to subsidize their very own teams.
Whatever tokens are earned from P2E will be divided between funding the scholars, a management fee towards the WTG team and injecting funds back into the Protocol in order to continue to build value for it.
Alphie holders at this stage will receive a token airdrop ($WTP) for the Protocol and will also be whitelisted if they want to purchase a bigger allocation of the Protocol token. There will be no need for fighting/grinding in order to get into the whitelist like it is the case in other IDOs/ICOs.
WhalEcology
Our unique ecosystem.
The big vision is to have 4 internal elements all interacting with and backing each other in order to create a strong and sustainable foundation, plus a 5th external factor:
Put in the simplest of terms:
➡ The NFT kickstarts the project and gives holders entry to our WhalEcology. ➡ The tools and shop provide utility. ➡ The Alphie DAO adds governance and membership. ➡ The WhaleTogether Protocol creates a medium. ➡ The external (non-NFT holders) token buyers add growth.
They all back each other providing a strong, sustainable foundation based on real utility as you will see next.
