The IOST Year Long Event v2.0: Collect All 9 NFTs to Share an IOST Prize Pool

Following the issuance of two NFTs in 2022 — the [IOST Dundun] and the [Christmas] NFTs, IOST plans to issue 7 more NFTs in 2023 (possible extension to 2024). As of the time of writing, IOST has already issued [Rabbit] and [Poblebee].

Each NFT represents a distinct on-chain asset with a unique serial number. These will be distributed, free of charge, to IOST community members participating in designated events. Users who accumulate all nine IOST NFT badges become eligible to share in a portion of a prize pool funded by IOST.

In 2024, IOST will conduct a random snapshot of the entire network. Users possessing all nine official on-chain NFTs from 2022 and 2023 in their mainnet account at the time of the snapshot will take part in the final IOST prize pool (each eligible mainnet account can claim only one share of the IOST prize).
