Open Edition

The Limited Edition aims to make the featured artwork accessible to a broader audience while maintaining a sense of exclusivity. This edition is available for minting for a limited time, from Sunday until the following Friday, for the price of a comic book ($4).

Economic Details

• Minting Window: The Limited Edition will be available for minting from Sunday until the following Friday, allowing collectors a full week to obtain the artwork.

• Affordable Pricing: Priced at $4, similar to a comic book, this edition ensures that high-quality art is accessible to a wider audience.

• Mint Proceeds: Proceeds from minting will be used to buy back $CROC tokens and subsequently burn them, increasing the value of the token within the Crocoverse.

Significance

• Widespread Access: By making the artwork available at an affordable price, we ensure that great art is accessible to a broad audience, fostering inclusivity and appreciation within the community.

• Community Engagement: This approach enhances visibility and discussion around the featured pieces, building a more connected and engaged community.

• Economic Impact: By burning the $CROC tokens bought back from mint proceeds, we increase the scarcity and value of $CROC, benefiting the entire Crocoverse ecosystem.

Importance of Paid Minting

While it might seem counterintuitive, it is crucial that the minting of the Limited Edition artwork is not free. Charging a nominal fee serves several important purposes:

• Value Perception: Pricing the artwork, even at an affordable rate, helps maintain the perceived value of the art. Free minting could inadvertently devalue the work, undermining the efforts and talents of the artists.

• Economic Sustainability: The proceeds from the minting process are reinvested into the Crocoverse through the buyback and burn mechanism. This not only supports the economic model of the Crocoverse but also enhances the value of $CROC for all holders, aligning with our ethos of creating a sustainable and thriving ecosystem.

• Commitment and Engagement: A small monetary investment ensures that collectors who mint the artwork are genuinely interested and engaged, fostering a community that values and appreciates the art and the artists. This commitment enhances the overall experience and interaction within the community.
