Metaverse Players by Butcher Billy
Metaverse Players (MVPs) by Butcher Billy imagines all the things a Player can be — gamers, athletes, musicians, actors, executives, icons, soldiers, romantics, machines, and more. Each MVP will unlock access to the Metaverse Games Club, featuring a variety of social, casual, and competitive games designed to test your skills and talents. The more you participate, the more you’re rewarded. Inspired by the imagery and lore from Royal Society’s genesis works and co-launched in partnership with House of First, the MVP collection is filled with stories of mystery, espionage, conflict, and power. You can read more about the MVP collection here including a background on Butcher Billy, MVP Lore, Why Mint, and Strategic Roadmap.
The MVP collection is made up of 5,000 NFTs that feature unique characters along with an iconic variety of backgrounds, hands, faces, accessories and more created from over 1 billion possible combinations. Please note, Phase 0 has max mints. Phases 1–3 have transaction limits but no max mint.
The basic drop details are outlined as follows:
What: Metaverse Players (MVP) by Butcher Billy
When: Public Mint on Thursday, May 12th
Quantity: 5000 NFTs

Beyond this, we are excited to share our phased mint approach for existing and new holders, who benefit from a series of perks by being part of our genesis collection. Please note, the benefits below are “cumulative” so if you are able to mint in one phase, you can “add/stack” them across phases:
