NFT magazine contents

Going back to the NFT Magazine, a few days ago, the contents that readers will find inside the magazine were also revealed: not only the cover and an exclusive interview with Coldie, but also an analysis of trends in collectibles; a top 25 of the best projects, a top 10 of the best collectors and their interviews and much more.

While the first drop of the magazine had a limited edition of only 500 copies, this second edition will be in 700 copies. Unsold copies will be burned to ensure the rarity of the NFTs.

Burning is a common modality in the NFT and crypto world in order to provide an interesting scarcity for collectors, in a similar way to the art market.

As is common with the NFT world, the NFT Magazine will be on sale on Opensea.

To buy these NFTs, you will need to have Metamask or another wallet compatible with Wallet connect (e.g. Eidoo) and some Ethereum to spend for gas fees.
