Dice Collection Falls Short of Target, Creator Plans Pivot with Refunds
馃幉 When failure becomes opportunity
A dice-themed NFT collection failed to reach its target supply of 6,666 pieces, stopping at 4,732 dice with cumulative face values of 16,779.
Key Details:
- The project's "Play collection" fell short of the minimum threshold of 1,111 pieces needed
- All participants will receive full refunds while keeping their dice NFTs
- The creator is now exploring alternative directions for the project
The failed mint represents a rare outcome where collectors receive both refunds and retain their NFTs, potentially creating an interesting dynamic for the remaining supply.
If we don't reach 1,111 - all players will receive full refunds but keep their dice.
In response to our failed attempt to reach a supply of 6,666 dice (and subsequent refund to all participants), I have an idea to turn this into something else. The math on the Play collection is as follows: 4,732 dice - cumulative face values of 16,779.
