In the recent months, early adopters have purchased more than 43,000 Packs and 10,500 Moments from the marketplace and gifted 29,000 Moments, which is only going to increase as the platform is now available to the public.
Commenting on the public launch of the first blockchain-based collectibles on Flow blockchain, CEO of Dapper Labs Roham Gharegozlou said, “Collecting NBA Top Shots is a lot of fun – and thanks to the Flow blockchain, your collections are worth real money. Further adding, “the NBA Top Shot community is the best I’ve ever worked with people are always happy to help and there are already multiple developers building tools and apps to make the collector experience even better.”
