CFOS Manifesto

NFT Theme and Art

Cosmonauts From Outer Space: The Arrival (CFOS: The Arrival) is a horror and sci-fi-themed NFT collection featuring entirely unique, handcrafted 3D artworks. Each piece is ray-traced and rendered in high quality, depicting an alien or octo-humanoid encased in a mysterious pod, set against surreal, otherworldly landscapes. These two central characters are core to the CFOS IP and will appear across all future CFOS series, films, games, and products.

The CFOS Universe — Products and Expansion

CFOS is not just an NFT collection — it is the foundation of a transmedia universe spanning multiple entertainment formats. Each product serves a distinct purpose in expanding brand recognition, engaging different audiences, and solidifying CFOS as a long-term IP.

CFOS Short Films

The first major expansion of CFOS beyond the NFT space is through high-quality short films that establish the universe’s tone, themes, and aesthetic.

  • Four high-budget short films, each focusing on one of the four main protagonists. These standalone stories will provide deep insight into their backgrounds, personalities, and roles in the CFOS universe.

  • These films will be submitted to film festivals to gain visibility and industry recognition.

  • After festival runs, NFT holders receive early access, followed by a free release on YouTube to maximize reach.

  • If external distribution opportunities arise that can significantly expand CFOS’s audience, they will be considered.

With the highest production budget among CFOS projects, these short films will serve as a statement of quality and an entry point into the CFOS universe.

CFOS Series

The long-term flagship product of CFOS will be a multi-season sci-fi/horror series that follows the four main protagonists through a larger, unfolding narrative.

  • Season 1 will be six episodes, fully funded by The Arrival.

  • The goal is to continue beyond the first season, expanding the universe over multiple seasons.

  • While episodes will be freely available online, potential external distribution partnerships will be explored if they can bring CFOS to an even larger audience.

This series is the backbone of CFOS, ensuring the IP evolves over time and remains relevant.

CFOS Children’s Cartoon

A completely different take on the CFOS universe, this animated series will be a lighthearted, episodic sci-fi comedy designed to introduce younger audiences to the brand.

  • 5–10 minute episodes, easy to produce, easy to write.

  • Unlike the horror-driven main universe, this show will be accessible and fun, fostering early connections with CFOS and building the next generation of fans.

  • Uploaded to YouTube Kids for accessibility.

  • Lower budget than the films and series, allowing for fast production.

This ensures that CFOS is not limited to a single demographic but instead grows into a multi-generational IP.

CFOS Multiplayer Video Game (Long-Term Goal, NOT Funded by The Arrival)

A multiplayer CFOS game is part of the long-term vision, but no funds from The Arrival will be used for game development.

  • Not a play-to-earn scheme. No financial incentives in gameplay — just a fun, engaging multiplayer experience.

  • Free-to-play or low-cost, sustained through optional microtransactions.

  • Like the films and cartoon, this is a brand-building tool, not a direct revenue stream.

Why This Approach?

Each product serves a specific strategic purpose in growing the CFOS universe:

  • Short films introduce the aesthetic and characters in a high-budget cinematic format.

  • The series expands CFOS into a multi-season sci-fi horror epic.

  • The cartoon broadens CFOS’s appeal, making it a multi-generational brand.

  • The game provides interactive engagement, keeping fans immersed in the universe.

This strategy ensures CFOS is not dependent on artificial scarcity or speculative value — it builds a universe that people want to engage with, whether or not they own an NFT.

Utility for NFT Holders

CFOS: The Arrival NFT holders will benefit in multiple ways, including:

  • Creative Influence — NFT holders will have the opportunity to write a stand-alone short film, non-canon but set within the CFOS universe, selected through a contest.

  • Exclusive Content & Perks — Early access to short films, episodes, games, and future products.

  • Digital Collectibles — High-quality downloadable posters for each short film.

  • Discounts & In-Game Rewards — Discounts on merchandise, games, in-game cosmetics, or any future CFOS products.

The Vision: Long-Term Expansion

CFOS is not just an NFT collection — it is the foundation of a transmedia universe spanning multiple entertainment formats. The ultimate goal is to create an expansive, multi-platform brand that reaches far beyond the NFT space.

The next three years will be dedicated entirely to building brand recognition, establishing an engaged audience, and elevating CFOS into a recognizable name in entertainment.

Unlike most blockchain projects, CFOS is not dependent on artificial scarcity or speculative value. Instead, it focuses on building something that stands on its own merit — a universe that people want to engage with, whether or not they own an NFT.

CFOS isn’t just targeting blockchain enthusiasts. Every product — films, series, games, and cartoons — is designed to reach the mass market first, making CFOS recognizable outside of the NFT space. This approach ensures the brand grows organically while still rewarding early supporters through exclusive perks, early access, and digital collectibles.

By ensuring all products are either free or accessible at low cost, CFOS removes barriers to entry while still rewarding its earliest supporters with exclusive content and benefits. Over time, as the CFOS brand expands, the original NFT collection will become a historic and valuable piece of its legacy.

This is not just another NFT project. This is the foundation of a vast sci-fi horror universe—one that will unfold across films, series, games, and beyond.
