The drop will go live through the Metakey Discord channel on February 16th at 1 PM UTC. I’ve created a drop page on my website. This link will only be shared through the Metakey Discord Channel and this is where holders will be able to access the 3 Manifold mint links.

2x 30 Editions - EARLY ACCESS to Metakey holders. The remaining editions will be available to the public after 48 hours. - 0.08 ETH

Burn Mechanics/Utility

I know burn mechanics and open editions are a hot topic these days on Twitter. This drop was planned long before things kicked off in the open edition market.

My goal with this drop is to provide exclusive art to the Metakey community at a very reasonable price point. A trend I see these days is making collectors mint a certain number of Open Editions in order to burn for 1 piece in the future. I know I could have easily gone this route by releasing a still image artwork or shorter animation as an Open Edition with a burn mechanic to claim the full animated artwork, but this was never my goal. I want to provide the most value possible and allow everyone access to one of my animated artworks with no gimmicks attached.

That being said, you are free to mint as many Open Editions as you wish. I’ll monitor the edition count and if it exceeds a certain limit I’ll open up a burn mechanic to allow holders to burn editions for a newer piece in the future. The burn will depend on the demand. I want to keep things fun and exciting for collectors too.

In regard to utility and future plans for collectors; Exclusive drops for holders and airdrops to holders of all 3 artworks are more in line with what I’m planning. I’ve been selling my art as NFTs since 2020 and I’ve done featured drops across multiple platforms using a variety of drop mechanics. I’m very excited about Manifold right now and the incredible features they are providing to artists. I keep in close contact with my collectors and I’m always open to suggestions and experimenting with new features as they get rolled out.

Feel free to reach out to me at any time with any questions or suggestions.
