Thursday is a big day for Fuzzy.
During the afternoon (ET), the Fuzzycards Portal goes live.
If you hold a booster box NFT, you will be able to burn it and claim your physical cards.
Redemption will remain open until September 2nd at 1 PM ET. After that, redemption closes permanently. Any unburned booster box NFTs will remain on-chain as collectibles, but will no longer be redeemable for physical cards.
The portal is also where we start building the distribution network for Fuzzycards.
Fuzzybear and Raebyzzuf holders will have access to a holders-only distribution program.
Find a card shop in your city. Introduce them to Fuzzycards. When they are ready to place an order, submit the store and order through the portal.
From there, we take over.
We contact the store and handle payment, production, fulfilment, and shipping. The store gets dealer pricing, and the holder who brings the order in receives 15% of the order value.
The technology is simple.
The idea is bigger.
We have one of the strongest communities in crypto. Now we’re giving that community a way to open doors for Fuzzy in the physical world.
Our goal is simple: Fuzzycards should eventually be available, played and collected everywhere in the world.
We believe the best way to get there is together.
At the same time, the official Fuzzycards webshop goes live.
For the first time, anyone can buy Fuzzycards directly from us, with or without an NFT.
The webshop gives everyone a way into Fuzzy. The portal gives our community a way to help take it everywhere.
As Fuzzy moves further into the physical world, there is one more part of this expansion we want to make clear.
Fuzzy started on-chain and anonymous. That worked.
But production, international shipping, retail, grading and trademarks require a legal entity that can stand behind the brand.
A real trading card game needs a publisher.
Fuzzy didn’t come from the traditional trading card industry. It came from the XRPL.
So we chose a publisher that understands both worlds - the physical one we’re entering and the on-chain one we’re coming from.
XPUNKS has been part of the XRPL for four years - a known and trusted name with relationships across the ecosystem and beyond.
Starting Thursday, XPUNKS GmbH, a Swiss company registered in Zug, is the publisher of Fuzzycards.
XPUNKS is the first name we’re bringing into Fuzzy’s world.
It will not be the last.
More is already in motion and you will hear each one from us when it is ready, not before.
And there is one more thing.
On the 589th day of Fuzzy’s existence, we will release a very special Fuzzycard drop.
It will be available for 24 hours only.
Part of the drop will be tokenized on-chain. Part will be available through the webshop.
Holders will get first access to the tokenized version, which can be traded on the secondary market immediately.
Webshop orders will be produced afterwards, with production taking roughly 1 to 1.5 months.
We believe there is something important in bringing physical collectibles and an on-chain secondary market together.
The 589th day will be our first step into that.
Thursday, the portal opens.
The webshop opens.
Redemption begins.
And Fuzzy starts moving into the physical world at a much bigger scale.
We’re honored to keep building with the best community in crypto.
The best is yet to come.
Stay Fuzzy.
