EOS Nation’s EOS Hot Sauce is also available in video and audio formats shortly after the article is published.
It’s official: we love NFTs, we’re feeling the FOMO, and have decided to share the fun by giving away NFTs to our community! Don’t miss this week’s giveaway as we’re giving out 5 Spicy Rares, 4 unopened GPK Goes Exotic Standard card packs and 1 unopened GPK Goes Exotic MEGA Pack! If you like collecting NFTs, make sure to show up to our YouTube Premiere of EOS Hot Sauce 64 on Sunday at noon Eastern time!
Ever since the launch of the Atomic Hub NFT platform, we’ve been digging into the platform and thinking about how to incorporate these new digital assets into fun promotions to reward our community and increase social media engagement. That’s why we decided to create the EOS Hot Sauce Collection, which will house our various NFTs for this promotion. The first NFT of the collection, the Spicy Rare, was revealed last week as the centre piece of the promotion. Spicy Rares can be earned by participating in the live chat of the EOS Hot Sauce YouTube Premiere every Sunday at 12 pm ET.
Important Note: If you’re interested in participating in these weekly giveaways, you need to sign up! You only need to do this once and will then be qualified to win prizes in all of our upcoming weekly giveaways.
Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and click the bell to be notified when we go live – that’s when the weekly NFT giveaways start!
We’ll be announcing more details about our Spicy Rare promotion in the coming days but here’s what we’ve shared so far:
As mentioned previously, this week we’ve also added GPK Goes Exotic card packs to our giveaway in order to celebrate the successful launch of this 2nd series from Topps. The demand for these GPK packs was unprecedented! All of the MEGA packs sold out in under 1 hour and the standard packs sold out shortly after that. At time of writing, the 5 packs we’re giving away this week are currently worth about $100 USD on secondary markets!
We enjoyed spending time creating our EOS Hot Sauce Spicy Rare promotion and creative ideas were certainly not lacking! In the end we decided to keep this promotion fairly simple but hope to build it out some more in the future if it proves popular.
Another popular and exciting use case for NFTs is within various online video games. Examples range from AAA gaming studios like Mythical Games using NFTs for their upcoming Blankos game to more indy games such as the NFT-based role playing game NiftyWizards.
The latest NFT game to be announced, KOGs on WAX, promises to bring the fun and excitement of the classic POG game onto the blockchain. We used to play with POGs when we were young and reading about KOGS on WAX brought back so many fun memories of being a kid and gambling with POGs by playing for ‘keeps’! 😂
KOGs stands for Keys to Other Games and according to the press release:
Each KOG is a playable, blockchain-based token for use across an entire gaming ecosystem and will be interoperable with several upcoming games. Players can earn and trade KOGs to build their collection, as well as use them to enter tournaments.
Pre-Registration for KOGs on WAX is open! Reserve your name and get entered into a draw to win 1 of 25 limited edition KOGs!
Speaking of NFTs, have you checked out Collectables.io? It’s an on-chain marketplace for all SimpleAsset NFTs and digital trading cards on the WAX blockchain!
The user experience is intuitive and makes trading cards a breeze. We’ve been using it and are impressed with the information you have at your fingertips, how well it’s built, and how simple it is to use. You can easily sort using a variety of filters to find exactly what you’re looking for. Are you looking for that special card to complete your set? Or for all-in-one bundles to fast track your collection and get everything in one go? Sorting through thousands of listings can be intimidating, but Collectables.io makes it easy! Do you have a surplus of doubles or valuable cards to sell? If you’re looking to list NFTs and are unsure about the current lowest listing price, yes, they have that feature too!
Collectables.io has you covered no matter what kind of stakeholder you might be.
During the heaviest loads after the latest GPK Goes Exotic Tiger King launch, Collectables.io was able to handle the massive surge of volume and optimize even further. For the new GPK series, Collectables.io have done over 500,000 WAX in volume through 3500 card sales! We sent in some feedback on minor issues and additional feature requests, like a visual display bug and sorting mechanism optimizations, which were immediately rectified and added. Now that’s a level of customer service you can really appreciate! We certainly do, as we can imagine the 5000 unique visitors over the past month do as well. That attention to detail is what makes us so bullish on this platform and its future.
Here’s what Syed Jafri, founder of Collectables.io, had to say about his platform:
I’ve been a big collector of Pokémon, YuGiOh, and Heartstone cards since I was young. The excitement from opening packs and completing collections is hard to describe for those who have never experienced it. I believe that digital collectables are the next step for the Trading Card Game and collector’s market in general. Following in this direction, we launched Collectables.io, a marketplace for all NFTs and digital trading cards on the WAX blockchain!
At EOS Nation we have many founders who’ve also been collectors since their childhood and still hold on to their cards. Each one of us is looking forward to new series and how Collectables.io will adapt and grow over time. You can feel the excitement in the air!
