Asset Manager VanEck Announces The Launch Of Community NFT
VanEck has announced the launch of an NFT collection to further engage their crypto community. The launch is expected to happen later this week.
The initiative involves the release of 1,000 VanEck NFTs and is designed to showcase the real-world utility inherent in the NFT structure.
Launched on the Ethereum ecosystem, an open source blockchain with smart contract functionality, VanEck Community NFTs are being designed in partnership with NFT agency NUMOMO.
The project will follow the journey of a fictional character, Hammy (modeled after Alexander Hamilton), as he explores the past, present and future of monetary policy and encounters characters that assist him in his missions.
1,000 total NFTs will be divided into three categories: commons (which will total 750), rare (approximately 230) and legendary (approximately 20).
Holders of each NFT will have access to a variety of special benefits, based on the category of NFT they hold, which may include early access to VanEck’s digital asset research, exclusive invitations to in-person and virtual events.
Matthew Bartlett, VanEck Community NFT Co-Founder, commented:
“We’ve designed the VanEck Community NFT to function like a digital membership card, providing NFT holders with exclusive access to a wide range of events, digital asset research and the insights of an inclusive community of digital assets enthusiasts and investors.”
JP Lee, VanEck Community NFT Co-Founder, added:
“Since NFTs first emerged as a means to showcase compelling digital art, we haven’t overlooked that part of the equation either. Our NFTs will all feature eye-popping 3D avatars and narrative-style videos that will help create a real sense of story and spur discussion, debate and community. Our character ‘Hammy’ is going to be an outstanding guide for anyone interested in seeing the past, present and future of finance unfold.”
The VanEck Community NFTs will be released the week of May 2 via airdrop to the first 1,000 people who sign up at the VanEck Community NFT portal page. To receive an NFT, one must have a crypto wallet address.
