Finalbosu NFT collectibles sold out in public mint
Finalbosu is an anime-inspired web3 project founded by a group of independent creators, which sold out its entire public mint of 3,445 NFTs in less than six minutes on April 14.
This sale took place on the Abstract blockchain, adopting a first-come, first-served model, with NFT prices set at 0.134 ETH (approximately $220 at the time of writing).
The project held two presales in March, allowing early supporters and previous Legacy series holders to reserve NFTs at a lower price.
Finalbosu is co-created by the three brothers Jevin, Jeff, and artist Mustayaki, along with their long-time partner John, telling the story of characters who lose their past memories after rebirth and must activate five emotional 'nodes' to face their final form - Final Bosu, which embodies their innermost fears.
So far, the team has launched five central characters and stated plans to expand the project into games, animations, and merchandise.
