  • Reddit recently released its Super Bowl LVII x Reddit Collectible Avatar collection in collaboration with the NFL, adding to its successful line of non-NFT digital collectibles.
  • The NFTs are free and offer unique benefits to owners on the platform, such as unique profile animations.
  • The first NFT collection, CryptoSnoos, was a massive success, generating over $12.5 million in sales volume and becoming one of the biggest Web3 onboarding events in blockchain history.

Reddit’s Collectible Avatars are back in the news. The social media platform has collaborated with the NFL for the Super Bowl LVII x Reddit Collectible Avatar collection. The NFTs are free and provide users with exclusive benefits on the forum. Redditors can choose from four types of NFTs: Eagles, Chiefs, The Champs, or LVII Super Fans collectible, and they are limited to minting one per account. At the time of writing, more than 1 million avatars have been minted.

Reddit made waves in the NFT world in 2022 with the release of its first NFT collection, the CryptoSnoos. The NFTs, based on Reddit’s mascot Snoo, were designed by independent artists and Reddit creators. The avatars allowed users to have unique profile animations and provided a CC0 license to use the avatars as they saw fit. The CryptoSnoos generated over $12.5 million in sales volume and became one of the most significant Web3 onboarding events in blockchain history.

Reddit’s Continued Experimentation with NFTs

What sets Reddit apart from other NFT platforms is its strategy of not using the term NFT in its press releases, instead opting for digital collectibles. This approach was a massive success and spawned some of the best engagement in the Web3 space.

This new collection with the NFL comes at a crucial time for the NFT and crypto space. Reddit’s rise to prominence in the NFT world was before the fall of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX, which caused negative sentiment toward the crypto realm. Nevertheless, Reddit’s NFT experimentation is not surprising, given its success in the fall of 2022.

Reddit appears to be taking a page from Candy Digital’s playbook by partnering with the NFL to reach the league’s fans. Candy Digital has successfully partnered with Major League Baseball and MLB Players Inc. for their Web3 initiatives, partly because they also avoided using the term NFT.

NFTs are a revolutionary technology that allows for the ownership and verification of digital assets, such as art and collectibles. They use blockchain technology to assign a unique and non-fungible digital signature to each item, making it a one-of-a-kind purchase.

A Precarious Time for NFTs and Crypto Space

The popularity of NFTs has skyrocketed in recent years, with the market growing to hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Some of the most significant deals include Beeple’s “The First 5000 Days” digital art, which sold for $69 million at a Christie’s auction, and Grimes’ “WarNymph” collection, which sold for $5.8 million.

However, despite their potential, NFTs have received backlash for their potential for exclusivity. The high prices of NFTs have led to criticism that they cater only to the wealthy and exclude a large portion of the population. This exclusivity has led to concerns that NFTs may contribute to the widening wealth gap and further marginalize specific communities.
Despite these criticisms, Reddit’s Collectible Avatars demonstrate the potential of NFTs to provide unique benefits and bring communities together. By offering free NFTs with platform benefits, Reddit is making NFTs accessible to a broader audience and positively promoting their use.
