🧦 Flowverse Socks History
As our Flowverse Mystery Pass launch fast approaches, we thought now would be a suitable time to go into the history of our first NFTs - the Flowverse Socks.
Here’s a bit about their origin and the community, which may help piece together why they’ve become the highest-average sales price NFT (last 30 days) on Flow.
🎅 A Christmas Gift
The concept of Flowverse Socks was conceived just prior to Christmas 2021
Off the back of the huge, multi-month online event, Flow Fest, rumours circulated that we (Flowverse) were going to provide some form of Christmas gift for our community
We decided it would be cool to realise these rumours and provide a gift to some of the earliest, most committed and most engaged community members in our Discord. This gift was the Flowverse Socks 🧦
🧦 Why Socks?
We chose Socks because Socks are a Christmas classic - who doesn’t like a nice pair of fancy socks for Christmas?
At the bare minimum, we wanted the NFTs to have some form of utility. This was our rationale to make them each redeemable for one physical pair of socks
The physical redemption highlighted a key use case of NFTs, and it was cool to see many family and friends who didn’t previously understand NFTs immediately click with the concept
🎨 The Artist
In terms of the design, we wanted the Socks to be beautiful because of the belief of the two Flowverse co-founders, that art does matter. This meant hiring one of Nish’s friends, the NYC-based metaverse artist Jenny Jiang, who was previously featured in the Paris Hilton collection on OpenSea.
🏗️ Creating the NFTs
At the time, Flowverse had zero engineering talent, and there was no zero-code way to create smart contracts on Flow
Given it was the Christmas holidays, we also thought it would be too late to partner with a Flow marketplace to launch the NFTs
This meant the two co-founders of Flowverse manually ‘hand-mint’ and ‘hand-distributed’ the 111 Flowverse Sock NFTs one by one on Rarible, and that they were part of the shared Rarible smart contract
This all happened in the two days leading up to Christmas…
🧑🏻🤝🧑🏻 Community
Since the Flowverse Socks launch we are proud to have built an awesome community of Sock holders who access our private Sock holder Discord channel
Amongst Sock holders are some of the most well-known & respected builders and collectors in the Flow ecosystem some of who lead the top Flow projects (including Dapper Labs…)
A community member Bz (founder of Basic Beasts), created a web app enabling you to see all the top Sock holders according to number of Socks held
🤝 Collaborations
The Sock community extends to some of the biggest apps in the ecosystem who we have collaborated with.
Matrix Market helped Socks upgrade to their own smart contract from the original Rarible shared contract
Sock holders who participated in the Flunks sale, got an upgraded Flowverse Sock-background Flunk
Flowty enables you to rent out your Socks
