TREASURE HUNT
Lollapalooza, the blockbuster four-day music festival, pulled off a massive NFT scavenger hunt this past week that resulted in 19.4K attendees minting free NFTs – championed by the Solana Foundation, Dopamine, and Concept Art House.
The event kicked off with ‘Pre-Fest NFTs’ that were exclusive NFTs minted into the wallets of anyone who created their wallet through the Solana Dopamine Landing Page. Attendees used their phones to scan redemption tags found around the Solana Compound. Those that scanned the entire collection were rewarded with VIP pass upgrades, exclusive experiences, swag and more.
This epic collab between Solana and Lollapalooza brought one-of-a-kind experiences to fans of music and pop culture with ease and fun!
ANNOUNCEMENT: DAREWISE x CAH COLLAB
We recently announced our partnership with Darewise Entertainment, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands and founded by veterans of AAA video game development, to create an NFT collection with powerful in-game utility for Life Beyond.
Life Beyond is one of the first true AAA video games powered by the potent mix of Unreal Engine 4 and web3 technology. Named DRAP (D.E.E.P. Robot Autonomous Pet), the unique NFT will provide exclusive owner benefits inside and outside of the game.
DRAP NFTs will come with out-of-game utility, such as providing holders with a mintpass for public sales of Land, special airdrops, and access to community events. More details including availability will be announced soon.
