The popular Wassieverse NFT collection is urging its original Ethereum holders to finalize their migration to the Solana blockchain, marking a significant shift for the digital assets. The project, which initially launched its "Wassies by Wassies" collection on Ethereum in September 2021, is now offering a "redrop" incentive for holders who complete the transfer. The migration aims to leverage Solana's benefits, including faster transaction speeds and lower fees.
The official Wassieverse account announced the final call on social media, stating, "> TLDR: a long time ago we launched our original wassieverse collection on ethereum. then we moved it to solana. dis is your last chance to make the move." The announcement directs users to a dedicated site, redrop.wassieverse.io, to connect their wallets and follow instructions for the transfer. Any remaining Wassies in the queue are slated for distribution in October.
As part of the migration, original Ethereum holders are eligible to receive two new Wassies with updated artwork on the Solana network. The project emphasized the "redrop" as a thank you to long-standing community members, declaring, "> SOLANA WASSIFICATION IS UNDERWAY THIS IS NOT A DRILL." This move reflects a growing trend among NFT projects seeking more efficient and cost-effective blockchain environments.
The Wassieverse collection, known for its 3D NFTs, has established a presence on Solana, with current market data indicating a floor price of approximately $1,155.99 and a total market cap of nearly $3 million across 2,550 unique NFTs held by over 1,000 unique owners. The transition to Solana is expected to provide a more scalable and cost-effective platform for the collection's future development and community engagement.
