Pak’s Merge NFTs appear to be flying under the radar, as its massive 257077 sales went unnoticed. Let us explain: Pak’s Merge NFT project, which recently crossed the $100 million mark, has now sold over a quarter-million NFTs, with each NFT priced ranging from $400 to $525. Moreover, those who had early access were able to collect Merge NFTs for $299.
Consequently, sales of Merge NFTs have crossed 257077 tokens and are still counting. The ongoing sale will last up till 6:30 PM ET exclusively on NiftyGateway.
As per Pak’s tweet, there was a bundle of surprises for the NFT collectors when the mass reaches 250k. He described the surprise as – “Something will appear when the mass reaches 250k”.
Despite the fact that everyone was curious as to what it could be, Pak teased the surprise by leaving a trail of anticipation. He tweeted the image of ‘mass.black’ that appeared after reaching 250k. The image displayed the alphanumeric coded sort-of series, which one of his followers translated as a message written on it: “you won’t find it until I place it there.” This means that collectors won’t be able to find that “something” until Pak displays it for everyone to see.
Merge is 100 percent on-chain, Pak’s confirmed via tweet, and “merge” happens at the contract level. He did so because no one could figure out how NiftyGateway, an off-chain marketplace, could handle the complexity of Merge project.
Pak disclosed that NiftyGateway’s primary purpose is to make NFTs available to the general people who aren’t familiar with Ethereum and only use credit and debit cards. Nifty doesn’t even host the metadata; in fact, Merge doesn’t have any hosted images or metadata; everything is created on the contract.
To understand how these Merge NFTs work, Let’s consider this case; If someone has one token, say m(50), then buys another token, say m(150), they will end up with one merged token, m(200), which simply demonstrates that everything merged automatically. Merge NFTs get their name from this. That’s how the name ‘Merge NFTs’ is derived.
