Fine fortunes ahead…

Following a busy few weeks of announcements including a new Staking Rewards program and the release of an iOS app, Chronicle is pleased to reveal a new partnership with Characters Unlimited, creating the world’s first set of Zoltar “Fortune” NFTs.

Utilising Characters Unlimited’s traditional fortune telling machines, users will hear this specially developed Zoltar Speaks® machine offer advice about the developing world of Web3, then receive their fortune ticket with a unique code to redeem their NFT on chronicle.io.

Launching at Fergusons Downtown during the epic Life is Beautiful music festival, it’s the world’s first NFT vending machine to be launched at a festival.

Chronicle Studio has created 2,000 unique Zoltar fortune NFTs, each one unique, with different attributes and fortunes to tell. Plus 50 limited edition ‘Vegas’ collectibles will be randomly distributed amongst the collection, giving users a 1-in-40 chance to score these rarities.

Together, Chronicle and Characters Unlimited have created a unique “print before you mint” concept, allowing users to enjoy a physical experience with Zoltar before minting their NFT on the blockchain.

Available initially exclusively at Life Is Beautiful this weekend only, a Zoltar reading and NFT is only $5 — let Zoltar do the printing, you’ll keep the minting!

Those elsewhere in the world can then await secondary sales on the Chronicle Marketplace, upcoming giveaways, and more exciting news to come… Zoltar predicts, “Good fortunes & exciting futures for all.”
