Estimated read time 3 min read

Unveiling the NFT Drop

Crypto.com recently threw a digital party—an airdrop party, to be precise. This shindig features the new NFT collection titled “The Moment of Truth”, prominently starring none other than LeBron James. Yes, the same man who can shoot hoops while making us all feel bad about our laziness in one slick commercial.

How to Get Your Hands on One

Want one of the 5,550 exclusive NFTs? You’ll need to channel your inner detective. This wasn’t just a simple ‘click and claim’ scenario. It involved a hidden QR code that appeared for a mere 10 seconds during the convo between present-day LeBron and his frumpy teenage self. It’s like Where’s Waldo, but with slightly more fame and zero stripes.

  • Sleuths who found the QR code could access a secret page.
  • They had until that fateful Friday post-Super Bowl to sign up on the Crypto.com NFT platform.
  • Those lucky enough to scan it got a free airdropped NFT—no purchase necessary. Can I get a hallelujah?

The Collectible Breakdown: What’s Inside?

The NFT collection isn’t just a random assortment of pixels. It consists of 15 unique NFTs, divided into three tiers with varying editions—think of them as LeBron’s rookie cards but in a digital universe full of blockchain wizards.

Giving Back: The LeBron James Family Foundation

In a move that’s as heartwarming as it is business-savvy, Crypto.com has teamed up with the LeBron James Family Foundation. Their goal? Educating folks in LeBron’s hometown of Akron about blockchain technology and potential career paths in the crypto realm. Because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a shot at a job where you can work in your pajamas while your money does jumping jacks on the blockchain?

“I want to ensure that communities like the one I come from are not left behind,” stated LeBron, channeling his inner superhero as he promotes inclusion.

A Special Note on Royalties

These NFTs will not be for sale initially, but hold on—there’s more. Every time these gems find a new home via resale, 5% of the sales will head straight to the LeBron James Family Foundation. So, when these NFTs hit the resale market, the giving doesn’t stop. It’s a win-win, or as I like to call it, a win-win-win!

Celebrity Power

LeBron is just one star shining in a constellation of Crypto.com partners. Others include famous faces like Matt Damon, whose commercials have ruffled a few feathers. The exchange is even getting cozy with the Angel City Football Club, adding a touch of LA sports flair to their portfolio.
