The sale of RAREZ will open at 5 pm UTC on December 16.
As Decrypt has explained, unlike âcommonâ crypto tokens, NFTs contain identifying information recorded in their smart contracts. This data makes each NFT different and uniqueâand that is what makes them not interchangeable and scarce.
Deadmau5âs collection will be offered in form of two limited sets of packs, âStandardâ (4,000 available in total) for $9.99 and âMegaâ (2,000) for $28.49, each containing 10 or 30 digital items, respectively. Thus, a total of roughly $96,940 worth of packs will be put on sale.
Inside the packs, users will find an assortment of random NFTsâfrom âCommonâ to âVery Rareââsuch as stickers and pins as well as black, silver, and gold Deadmau5-themed cards.
âThe special edition collectibles feature creative content from deadmau5âs recent shows as well as video clips, his collectible pins plus an âUltraRareâ piece of collaborative artwork by renowned 3D designer Sutu Eats Flies, who has previously worked with The Weeknd, John Legend, Pnau, Safia and many others,â WAX explained.
