The prominent storyline
0N1 Force is tied to the story behind the project. The 0n1 Force belongs to the Ethereal Enclave, a peaceful and prosperous kingdom that grants eternal life and infinite leisure for music, arts and poetry.
However, the kingdom collapses after the sudden death of the Emperor. With no heir to the emperor’s throne, the Ethereal Enclave falls into chaos and society collapses. Now, the 0n1 Force has only 7,777 hours to live, and they have to fight for survival or die trying.
As with many societies, the Ethereal Enclave is separated into major social groups, or clans. Thus, the 0N1 Force project was also able to create rarity paired with intention. The 0N1 FORCE clan contains three distinct groups:
The Y0K-A1 or Ghost Spirits (common, of which there are 5,278)
The B4K3M0-N0 or Monster Form (uncommon, of which there are 2,100)
The 0N1 or The Demons (rare, of which there are only 392)
The strong community
From the beginning, the 0N1 Force has attached great importance to the building of the community. Since the project's launch, the ON1 Force’s Discord channel currently counts over 37K members while their Twitter account has over 54K followers. Indeed, each 0N1 NFT grants access to benefits found on the 0N1force website and Discord.
The team encourages the holders and the community to come together and get involved in creating value. The team has also used a wide range of Discord’s built-in features to engage their community. For instance, through the 0N1 Daily Living section, inventive stories about the 0N1 clan were developed prior to the launch and continue to be shared regularly. Another highlight is the “radio feature” used to lean into the project’s lo-fi aesthetic, featuring lo-fi beats and guest DJ sets. Even after launch, project-related programming continues.
The creative artwork reflected in three clans
For now, it is time to consider the art performance of the collection. The ON1 Force provides an incentive art design customized in the lo-fi aesthetics style. The collection pays a lot of attention to the details. In addition, the 0N1 FORCE project is full of easter eggs and includes many clever hints to other NFT projects. For example, the “cool cat ears” to honor the Cool Cats and the “banana pin” included to celebrate the Bored Apes. By adding so many additional layers to the project, 0N1 FORCE has a range of fascinating details that can lead to new avenues of evaluation as the 0N1 universe develops.
As mentioned above, on1 Force is divided into three clans: Y0K-A1, B4K3M0-N0, and 0N1. The members of each clan have different traits and their rarity varies. All of the traits were customized by IMCMPLX.
Y0K-A1 or Ghost Spirit

However, there is one more type that the project kept hidden till minting began: K4M-1 or The Gods. These are extremely rare, with only seven in all. These characters face the opposite direction than the others and are equipped with exquisite helmets and jackets.

Closing thoughts
Most recently the team has announced a roadmap update. It promises a variety of exciting features such as the official IRL 0N1 event, 1NV1TE 0N1Y, that will take place in Los Angeles at a secret location and will be announced the day of the party; the merchandise launch and metaverse options that will follow; and the pre-production of 0N1 Force comic, which, when ready, will be tokenized and distributed to 0N1 holders.
The project seems to have a bright future and has all the potential to compete with other major NFT projects.
