Here we are in the middle of September, and the VALT SHOP NFT auction is upon us. If you want in on a very limited run of 25 NFTs that allow you to set up a virtual store in a virtual world, you’ll need some RFOX token in your ETH wallet.
Bids begin at $5,000, and each auction is staggered by an hour, meaning the last won’t go on sale until 24 hours after the first begins. Do you have any idea how much these plots will sell for? Nobody knows for certain, but I would be astonished if they didn’t go for at least 10x the starting price.
Want to see what it’s like inside one of the highly interactive SHOPs? The video game-style trailer will give you an idea of how things work inside a store, while the new walkthrough video, recorded on a VR headset, shows how customizable a store template can be.
You can catch them all on the VALT YouTube channel. You can also watch them embedded in an informational article written by the project’s CEO. Transparency is the name of the game, and the new blog update puts it all out there.
If you’re into the NFT scene on ETH, then you’re certainly familiar with the Bored Ape Yacht Club. You can’t miss them in the new walkthrough video, along with an RFOX-branded gorilla. Is there a partnership in the works? Let the speculation begin!
The team showed us that they’re not taking themselves too seriously:
“…we can show you a VR walkthrough using the Oculus headset. This design was created to showcase some serious NFTs and, of course, our beloved KOGs. Thanks to all the BAYC owners who lent us their images. You are aping amazing.”
The VALT’s genesis sale is part of a broader product roll-out. The first VALT quarter, Callinova, isn’t expected to go live until December. However, multiple ventures will launch beforehand, prepping for integration when the VALT allows.
One such venture is the RFOX NFT platform, which launches only 1 day after the Callinova auctions start. And it’s not just the white-label, business-ready platform that’s launching.
To celebrate the platform’s release, the 30 finalists from the 2021 Miss Universe Philippines contest are getting a unique set of NFTs. There’s also some serious coin up for grabs, and you can win a full ETH by merely holding the right NFT in your wallet.
This past week revealed a few more points of interest:
- The SHOP Owner’s Guide lays down the law of the virtual land
- A mystery prize is up for grabs if you can guess the first marquee client VOID Cyber brings into the VALT
Applications are still open for the challenging yet potentially lucrative Quartermaster role. Register your intent if you think you have the skills.
We still have 3 more VALT auctions to look forward to as the other quarters progress. But there can be only 1 genesis quarter. Go place your bid if you want to own a piece of retail history!
