Unlike other NFTs which often just consist of an image, a song or any other creative asset, STAN NFTs stand out as they have the aspect of “utility value” attached to them; as users who purchase STAN NFTs will instantly unlock certain benefits associated with a creator/athlete for instant gratification. For example, by owning STAN NFTs, the NFT owners will be eligible to access a number of benefits such as Instagram shout-outs, talk shows, meetings, play a match with a creator live on stream, access to creators’ Guild, personal messages from the athlete/creator and many more! Furthermore, these NFTs can also be withdrawn and sold or traded on NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea.
On its NFT launch initiative, Nauman Mulla, Co-Founder and COO, STAN says, “We at STAN are excited to launch the NFTs to a number of eSports players and creators in India who are mainly associated with Free Fire and BGMI games; The idea and goal behind this is to enable users – including non-crypto natives – to take part in the burgeoning NFT gaming economy, while actively engaging them alongside their favorite esports creators and idols.”
STAN’s NFT waiting list has received a very positive response so far, with around 18,000 people signing up for the waiting list. Going forward, the registered users on the NFT waiting list will be able to have benefits such as early access to the NFT sale (2 days before) and a discount on the sale (up to 10% discount on the sale of NFT and exclusive digital collectibles) . In addition, around 1,000 early registered users of the waiting list will be rewarded with free NFTs.
