It’s amazing how much can change in a year. At the beginning of 2021, RMRK was still a rough idea. We certainly hadn’t launched Singular or Kanaria.
Now, a thriving community of amazing artists are collabing in ways not seen anywhere else in crypto, all happening right here on Singular! Kanaria is setting record after record with RMRK2.0 Protocols, and the RMRK Metaverse/Token Community with passion you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
Reflecting back on this year, we all feel an immense appreciation for our community and early adopters. You’re the reason why we’re here after all!
The RMRK Yuletide Giveback Festival
The Yuletide Festival is an event we could all collectively participate in while sharing some fun through NFTs. A 14-day event during which many Yuletide themed RMRK 2.0-powered NFTs will be distributed to community members.
Similar to the Kanaria launch process, there will be a claiming period for the NFTs where the leftovers will be burnt.
What will be special about the Yuletide Festival is that there will only be 100 items available per day.
Yuletide Giftboxes will be available for purchase (i.e. claimed) starting at 0.15 KSM and scale the following day if all 100 NFTs were claimed. For example, if all 100 are claimed on day one, the next day they will be 0.20 KSM.
To prevent abuse, we’ve taken a snapshot today on December 21st 2021 at 6:00 PM CET. Limiting to 2 total claims during the event to those who held a Kanaria or 10 $RMRK on this date. If there’s any NFTs left unclaimed on January 3rd 2022, we will have a free-for-all for the remaining claims with no restrictions for the average KSM claim during the event.
The Giveback Twist
Every account that claims a Yuletide NFT will automatically mint an extra Yuletide NFT that will be sent to another random Kanaria Holder.
Thus, for every NFT that is claimed, an extra NFT will be minted. If 100 NFTs are claimed that day, 200 total will be minted. These extra NFTs will be airdropped automatically every day to the randomly chosen addresses.
The likelihood of getting these bonus NFTs will be amplified by holding $RMRK Tokens with your Kanaria Birds during the snapshot. So, to recap, holding higher quality Birds, or a combination of the two. But, you already knew that, didn’t ya?
WARNING: Claiming more than 2NFT limit through code or claiming without meeting the requirements will simply drop both NFTs to those eligible!
