Free BANANO NFTs: cryptomonKeys Update #7: Month 4 Recap

Jan 20, 2021 • 4 min read

BANANO is a DAG-based cryptocurrency with easy-to-use apps, distributed entirely for free through airdrops, faucets, and games. All happening in a fun, community-driven, meme-rich, and educational atmosphere.

The BANANO community project cryptomonKeys just started 4 months ago. It’s all about distributing NFTs/digital trading cards for free, and the positive feedback, growth and excitement by the community were truly awesome so far. Lots of news, meaning it’s time for another cryptomonKeys community update with a short Month 4 recap.

cryptomonKeys Month 4 Recap

It’s crazy it’s just a few months since the launch of cryptomonKeys on September 19th, 2020. It feels much longer somehow. Anyways, Month 4 was filled with even more fun, more cards and ramped up distribution through airdrops and giveaways. Here’s a quick summary and few highlights:

More New Cards!

Within month 4 we released Card 26 to 33 — which included the first 2 ever common cards. The reason behind was that we have grown a lot and — especially through the Santa Bot event with daily X-Mas gifts on the BANANO Discord server, the cryptomonKeys Discord Tipbot and several HUGE December airdrops distributed lots more cards that ever before. Within month 4 we have minted more cryptomonKeys than in the first 3 months altogether!

monKeymining is Here!

You might have heard it already: We are expanding to other planets far beyond the moon: You can now mine cryptomonKeys NFTs by playing the brand new free-to-play/play-to-earn NFT-based game Alien Worlds! All details here.

The Blue Wizard Appeared!

It was quite exciting to see the mysterious whale ‘The Blue Wizard’ entering and supporting the WAX NFT space, buying 1 Million USD worth of WAX NFTs from different projects. Amongst those the Blue Wizard also bought several cryptomonKeys from secondary markets, one (our ‘Blue Wizard cryptomonKey) with a record sale price of 55555 WAX. Yes, that means a user got a cryptomonKeys NFT for free from us (as usual, since we have free distribution) and sold it for more than 2k USD worth of WAX shortly after! Learn more about him in this podcast.
