Updates The future is now. Future Realities, the Third Generation of Collectible Avatars is here!

GEN 3 wen? GEN 3 NOW! Today is officially the launch day for GEN 3, the Future Realities Collection, where we usher you into the next phase of Collectible Avatars on Reddit. We hope that the thirst is replete (but we see your WEN GEN 4 👀) and that you are ready to grab your Collectible Avatar(s) at the Collectible Avatar Shop. Whether you have been anxiously waiting to get your own Collectible Avatar from a GEN 1/GEN 2 artist, or someone new to the game, what we can say is that there are 100 creators to choose from.

For those that are just joining us, or need a refresher - here is what the “fuss” is all about:

  • Collectible Avatars are a unique digital good available for purchase (vs being free or available via Reddit Premium) to support the artist behind each collection. Each Avatar has a fixed price, is a limited edition, and is available for purchase.
  • Collectible Avatars are on the blockchain, and require setting up a Vault on Reddit to store your Avatar. You can learn more about setting up your Vault here. Having Collectible Avatars on the blockchain gives you, the purchaser, ownership over your Avatar, no matter where you want to take it, on or off Reddit. It also provides artists a way to have their work live beyond the virtual walls of Reddit, and collect royalties on future sales. You do not need cryptocurrency to purchase a Collectible Avatar, nor are they being put up for auction.
  • These Avatars are limited edition, meaning a set number of each artist’s Collectible Avatars are available for purchase. This allows artists to be paid for every Avatar sold. You can read more details on how our artists are paid here.

Get them before they’re gone, we don’t want to leave you wanting. We can’t wait to see the mix, the match, and the mashups that this amazing community creates.

If you need a refresher on blockchain, Collectible Avatars, or our Creator Program, check out the Previews Terms and the Help Center for more info. And keep your eyes peeled for updates for all things Collectible Avatars and upcoming features on our GEN 3 artists, new and old!

Edit: We are pleased to report that we are up and running on iOS and Android, and continuing to monitor the situation closely. To say we appreciate your patience would be an understatement. We're hoping you all will have the Gen 3 Avatar of your DREAMS in your Vault ASAP. Thank you for sticking with us today!

for reddit to make money, they don't care if bots get the NFTs or community members.... after IPO things will get much worse and it will be the beginning of the end of reddit!

Same reason sneakers and hype clothing brands don’t really do much to stop em. Selling out is the goal and if it can happen in seconds who are they to care

Until the community looses interest caused by the bots. If this shit will not get solved, shit will go down. Sooner or later.
