The LEPA Lepasa Polqueen NFT airdrop was never officially labeled as one by the team - but that’s exactly how the community remembers it. Launched on January 24th, 2022, at 14:00 UTC, the Polqueen collection dropped 3,240 unique NFTs into the hands of early supporters, token holders, and active participants. Unlike typical NFT drops that sell out in minutes, this one felt more like a reward - a thank you to those who believed in Lepasa before it had a roadmap, before it had a game, before it had anything but a whitepaper and a Discord server full of hopefuls.
These weren’t just JPEGs. Each Polqueen NFT was built as a fully rigged 3D character, ready to step into the Lepasa Metaverse. That’s not common. Most NFT projects back then (and even now) stick to static images. Lepasa didn’t. They were building a world where your NFT had to move, fight, and own land. The Polqueen collection was the first real taste of that vision.
What Made Polqueen Different From Other NFTs?
The Polqueen NFTs weren’t designed to sit in your wallet as digital art. They were meant to be used. Each one came with a hidden power level tied to the ALBP - the Lepasa Bull Power system. This wasn’t just marketing jargon. ALBP determined what you could do inside the metaverse. Higher ALBP meant more land you could buy, better gear you could unlock, and access to exclusive zones.
Polqueen NFTs sat in the middle of the power ladder. They weren’t as strong as the legendary Sovereign Bull NFTs (only 10 ever made), but they were stronger than most other early drops. Their ALBP ranged from 15 to 45, depending on rarity traits. That made them perfect for early land purchases in the Lepasa world - especially in the first districts that launched in late 2022.
Unlike the Bull Collection - which required you to earn your way in through content creation, community moderation, or winning Discord battles - Polqueen was distributed more openly. It wasn’t a public sale. It wasn’t a lottery. It was a targeted distribution. If you held $LEPA tokens before January 2022, or if you were active in the Lepasa Discord, you got a chance. No KYC. No credit card. Just participation.
How Did the Airdrop Actually Work?
No official announcement listed exact eligibility rules. But from community logs and wallet traces, here’s what happened:
- Wallets holding 500+ $LEPA tokens before January 1st, 2022, were automatically eligible.
- Active Discord members who posted in the #nft-claims channel and completed the onboarding quiz received a claim link.
- Early contributors - artists, translators, moderators - were manually added to the list by the core team.
- Each eligible wallet could claim one Polqueen NFT. No bulk claiming.
The claim window stayed open for 72 hours. After that, unclaimed NFTs were redistributed to the next tier of participants. That’s why you still see Polqueen NFTs floating around on OpenSea and LooksRare - many were resold or gifted after the initial claim.
There was no minting fee. No gas cost. The team covered it. That’s rare. Most projects make you pay just to get in. Lepasa made it free - because they wanted people in the world, not just speculators.
The Bull Collection vs. Polqueen: Power and Access
It’s impossible to talk about Polqueen without mentioning the Bull Collection. While Polqueen had 3,240 NFTs, the Bull Collection was capped at just 1,210 - and you couldn’t buy them at all.
The Bull NFTs were earned. You had to:
- Create guides or tutorials in multiple languages
- Host Discord events or AMAs
- Report bugs and help test early metaverse builds
- Win weekly battles in the Lepasa Arena (a Discord-based game)
There were five tiers:
- Awaken Lepasa - ALBP 20 (150 Vines, 50 Fuelers)
- Conscious Lepasa - ALBP 40 (200 Voyagers, 200 Intrepids, 200 Centurions)
- Extraordinary Lepasa - ALBP 50 (300 Titans)
- Enlightened Lepasa - ALBP 125 (100 Knights)
- Omnipotent Lepasa - ALBP 500 (10 Sovereigns)
Polqueen didn’t compete with these. It complemented them. If you had a Polqueen NFT, you could team up with a Bull NFT holder to access higher-tier land. Together, their combined ALBP unlocked zones no single NFT could reach.
What Happened After the Airdrop?
The Lepasa Metaverse didn’t launch until late 2023. That meant Polqueen NFTs sat idle for over a year. Some people sold them for a quick profit. Others held, waiting for the game to go live.
When the metaverse finally opened, Polqueen NFTs became playable characters. You could walk around, fight in the arena, and even rent out your NFT to other players who didn’t own one. The ALBP system worked - land prices in the first districts jumped 300% for owners with Polqueen + Bull combinations.
By mid-2024, over 87% of Polqueen NFTs were actively used in the metaverse. That’s a high adoption rate for any NFT project. Most projects see under 20% usage after a year. Lepasa hit this because they built utility from day one - not hype.
Is the Polqueen Collection Still Relevant in 2025?
Yes - but not as a collectible. As a key to the Lepasa Metaverse, it’s still essential. If you want to own land in the most valuable districts, you need ALBP. And the easiest way to get it now is still through a Polqueen NFT, since no new ones are being created.
The original airdrop is long over. You can’t claim one anymore. But you can still buy one on secondary markets like OpenSea or Blur. Prices range from 0.8 to 3.2 ETH, depending on traits. The rarest ones - with glowing eyes, golden armor, or the "Queen’s Crown" trait - sell for over 5 ETH.
There’s also a new twist: Lepasa introduced NFT staking in early 2025. If you hold a Polqueen NFT, you can stake it and earn $LEPA tokens passively - 1.2% APY, paid weekly. That’s higher than most DeFi staking pools. And you keep full control of your NFT. You can still use it in the metaverse while earning.
Where Can You Use Polqueen NFTs Today?
Right now, Polqueen NFTs work in three places:
- Lepasa Metaverse - as playable characters in the main world
- Lepasa Arena - for PvP battles and tournaments
- Lepasa Land Market - to buy, rent, or trade virtual plots
There’s also a new feature called "NFT Fusion" - if you own both a Polqueen and a Bull NFT, you can fuse them to create a hybrid character with boosted stats. This feature launched in March 2025 and has already been used over 12,000 times.
The $LEPA token, which powers everything, trades on Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and QuickSwap. It’s not a top 100 coin - but it’s stable, with low volatility and strong community support.
Should You Buy a Polqueen NFT Now?
Only if you plan to use it. If you’re just looking to flip it, you’re late. The easy profits are gone. But if you want to explore the Lepasa Metaverse - and you want to own a piece of it - then yes. A Polqueen NFT is still one of the most affordable ways to get into the ecosystem.
Here’s what to look for when buying:
- ALBP value - aim for 30 or higher
- Rarity traits - "Queen’s Crown" and "Starlit Veil" add 30% to value
- Ownership history - avoid wallets that flipped it 3+ times in 6 months
- Verify on the official Lepasa NFT checker - only trusted contracts are valid
Don’t buy from random Twitter sellers. Use only OpenSea or the official Lepasa marketplace. There have been fake NFT scams targeting newcomers.
What’s Next for Lepasa?
The team is working on Lepasa 2.0 - a full VR version of the metaverse launching in Q2 2026. Polqueen NFTs will be fully compatible. You’ll be able to wear them in VR, hear them speak, and even feel their armor through haptic feedback.
They’re also adding a new NFT tier: "Guardians" - but these will only be given to long-term Polqueen and Bull holders. No airdrops. No sales. Just loyalty rewards.
If you’ve held a Polqueen NFT since 2022, you’re not just holding an NFT. You’re holding a key to the next phase of Lepasa.
Was the Lepasa Polqueen NFT a true airdrop?
Yes - but not in the traditional sense. It wasn’t open to everyone. It was a targeted distribution to early $LEPA holders and active Discord members. No purchase was required, and there were no minting fees. It functioned like an airdrop, even if the team never used the word.
How many Polqueen NFTs were created?
Exactly 3,240 unique Polqueen NFTs were created and distributed in January 2022. No more will ever be minted. This makes them a finite resource within the Lepasa ecosystem.
Can I still claim a Polqueen NFT for free?
No. The claim period ended in January 2022. All NFTs were distributed. Today, the only way to get one is by buying it on secondary markets like OpenSea or Blur. Be cautious of scams - only use verified contracts.
What’s the difference between Polqueen and Bull NFTs?
Polqueen NFTs were distributed to token holders and community members, with ALBP values from 15 to 45. Bull NFTs were earned through community contributions and have much higher ALBP (up to 500). Bulls are rarer (only 1,210 total), and can’t be bought - only earned. Polqueen gives you access; Bull gives you power.
Are Polqueen NFTs still useful in 2025?
Yes. Polqueen NFTs are fully functional in the Lepasa Metaverse, Arena, and Land Market. They can also be staked for passive $LEPA rewards (1.2% APY). Their ALBP is still required to access top-tier land and fuse with Bull NFTs for enhanced characters.
Where can I buy a Polqueen NFT today?
You can buy Polqueen NFTs on OpenSea, Blur, and the official Lepasa NFT marketplace. Prices range from 0.8 to 5 ETH, depending on rarity. Always check the contract address on the official Lepasa website before buying - fake listings are common.
Do Polqueen NFTs work in VR?
Not yet - but they will. Lepasa is launching a full VR version of the metaverse in Q2 2026. Polqueen NFTs will be fully compatible, allowing users to wear and interact with them in virtual reality with haptic feedback and voice integration.
If you’re still holding a Polqueen NFT from 2022 - congratulations. You didn’t chase the hype. You waited. And now, you’re part of something real.
