Claynosaurz announced the mint date for Popkins yesterday.
They are launching the new collection on Sui on May 29th.
It consists of 25k NFTs called "Popkins", which are basically little dinos that expand the existing Clayno universe.
The minting process will be interesting (and a little complex), so here's a quick summary:
1) Anyone can buy tickets on Sui at $200 USD each, which are soul bound and act as mint tickets for "packs". Open to public.
2) The packs are then distributed, minters can reveal one at a time.
3) There are three different types of packs: Legendary (Popkin guaranteed), Escape (no Popkin, other digital rewards) and Rat (exclusive Rat), which are randomly revealed.
Claynosaurz holders get airdrops.
The cool thing is that if you don't reveal a Popkin, you get a $200 USD refund and get to keep the other digital rewards, among other things:
- "Pity points" which will make up your score on the leaderboard (the top 50 get a free Claynosaurz NFT).
- "Escape cards" (which are soulbound NFTs that will be added to your profile on the Claynosaurz achievement system).
Both the new collection and the achievement system will run on Sui.
Claynosaurz have been active in the Sui ecosystem in the past, particularly in decentralizing storage with Walrus, a service that other ecosystems also use now (for example Pudgy Penguins for their stickers and GIFs).
Excited to see how the mint will play out, will def rip a few packs on a livestream, big step for the Sui ecosystem as well.
Join us later today as we discuss the new mint with the Claynosaurz team, reminders below
Both $ANIME and $PENGU have outperformed their non-fungible counterparts over the last 30 days.
NFT floor price increase was largely due to the pump in ETH/USD, ETH-wise floors have been flat.
$PENGU and $ANIME reacted much differently to the more bullish crypto environment than Pudgy Penguins and Azuki NFTs, even tho there is some correlation (again, mainly due to ETH pumping from $1,800 USD to $2,700 USD).
Interesting.
Would you rather hold the NFTs or the coins? Or both?
Insane volume on some of these small-cap Abstract NFT collections.
Pengztracted with 736 ETH (!) volume in the last 24 hours, more than Pudgy Penguins, CryptoPunks and BAYC combined.
5 of the top 10 most traded NFT projects are currently on Abstract - I don’t think we ever saw something like this for any other EVM L2.
The market cap of most of these collections is still relatively low, as is the number of holders, might be an indicator that the core Abstract community is driving most of this volume.
A lot of people have told me this week that they feel like their time to "make it" in crypto is running out.
BTC is running up to prices where you can't "get rich" from it if you have a small portfolio right now.
Most alts are still a long way from ATHs, and it’s uncertain if they ever reach them.
The memecoin & NFT space it not in "get rich" territory right now.
But I think it's more nuanced than that and that time is by no means running out.
There will always be opportunities to build a portfolio from nothing.
Just look at InfoFi in the last few weeks or the success of the Virtuals ecosystem as a top AI launchpad.
And these two will not be the last big metas in crypto.
In the last four years, I've seen people "make it" in all sorts of metas: NFTs, memecoins, gaming, SocialFi, AI, hell even spamming tickers (remember Portalcoin?).
People with completely different skill sets and interests.
You have time.
Most people here don't reach their goals because they want it "too fast" and look for shortcuts (most of which are -EV).
Stick around long enough and you will come across countless opportunities to change your life in crypto
Competition between platforms in crypto is always good for the end user.
More incentives, more rewards as different teams fight for the #1 spot.
I don't know if Kaito yaps (big lead atm), Cookie3 snaps (shiny new thing) or one of the smaller ones (Wallchain quacks, Fantasy clout etc) will win - but I do know one thing:
Creators and users will eat.
Blur attacked Opensea back then, unlocking tens of millions of dollars in airdrops.
Boop attacked Pumpfun, dropping free money to users.
Kaito, Cookie3, Fantasy Top, they all need creators and eyeballs - and these flow to the best tech and the biggest rewards.
There's a trend of every chain having their headline Milady/Remilio NFT project.
A lot of people active in the ecosystems are adopting them as pfps, we've seen it on Hyperliquid with Hypios, we're seeing it on a lot of L2s, most recently on Abstract:
Dreamilio did by far the most volume on Abstract this week, a lot of Abstract creators changed their pfps.
On Hyperliquid we saw a lot of airdrops and other opportunities available to Hypios, it's possible we could see something similar on Abstract.
Could be interesting, especially now that more eyes are on token launches/memes on Abstract in recent weeks.
Only caveat: Dev holds 42% of the supply atm, so would get 42% of all airdrops lol
Recently I reached a big, long-standing milestone of mine, but I didn't feel anything.
Instead, my mind immediately went "okay but that’s not enough, the REAL milestone is THIS".
And I'm pretty sure the same thing will happen again once I reach the new one.
That's probably also one of the reasons why people who have really "made it" in crypto can't just leave and sail off into the sunset (and end up giving a big chunk of their money back to the market).
Goals are like mirages. The closer you get to them, the further away they get.
"This is cool, but there could be MORE".
Ever experienced something like this? Weird feeling
Being "early" doesn't necessarily mean you have to be there from the beginning.
I didn't mint CryptoPunks during the NFT run (I wasn't super early), but I was early enough in 2021 to ride the wave.
Sure, the disproportionate gains come to those who are super early, but as long as you're EARLIER than the majority of people, you can still win.
I see a lot of people ignore certain metas because they feel they are no longer early.
It's good not to get caught up in the FOMO and avoid being exit liquidity, but a lot of times we underestimate how early we can still be in the grand scheme of things.
That’s true for certain, smaller metas and crypto in general
