The Release of “Retro Reimagined” NFT Collection by Reddit
Reddit recently released its Gen 4 Collectible Avatar series, titled “Retro Reimagined,” which is the biggest expansion of its limited-edition non-fungible token (NFT) collection to date. The collection features reinterpretations of Reddit’s iconic “Snoo” character and aims to evoke feelings of nostalgia. Here are the key points:
- The collection includes designs from 100 independent artists and popular NFT collections like Cool Cats.
- The NFTs in the collection are based on Polygon and range in price from $2.49 to $199.99.
- Reddit implemented anti-bot measures, including CAPTCHA, to ensure a smoother rollout compared to its previous drop in April.
- “Initial access” is being launched for the first day of the release, limiting the number of collectibles you can purchase based on account age and other metrics.
- After the initial access period, the purchase restrictions will be lifted, but a $3,000 daily purchase limit will remain.
Reddit’s NFT marketplace on Vault has been successful since its launch in July, with over 14.2 million unique holders of Reddit Avatars and a $57 million market cap. There are currently over 18 million collectible avatars in circulation. Despite some glitches and confusion with prices, the initial comments on the release have been mostly positive.
