This week, we look at the hype around "free-to-own", web3 gaming's latest narrative, and how it emphasizes the use of whitelists and the potential for speculative behavior.
The idea behind our proposed solution was to allow for players to get a spot on a free mint whitelist (what we meant by "claiming"), but the free mint would happen at the same time as the sale of the NFTs, which will establish a price ceiling. This reduces the temptation to flip the free NFTs for exorbitant prices.
Thanks, Great article. This article appeared in my inbox when I was searching for one like it!
Can you please explain your potential solution a little more? I didn't get "allow claiming of a limited number of free copies of an NFT"
Glad you enjoyed it, Arash.
