Statements in this news release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- House of Kibaa (“HoK” or the “Studio”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Looking Glass Labs Ltd. (“LG Labs”), is pleased to announce that HoK will unveil a non-fungible token (“NFT”) in collaboration with Zaire Wade for his “YnG DnA” brand and apparel line on October 25, 2021 (the “YnG DnA Release”). Mr. Wade is a newly signed National Basketball Association (“NBA”) prospect of the Utah Jazz, current NBA G League player for the Salt Lake City Stars, and son of NBA legend Dwayne Wade. The Studio’s previous and ongoing NFT collaboration projects include Gutter Cat Gang and Tools of Rock.
Together with YNG DNA, Electric Token and Facings, HoK has also teamed up with The Worldwide Asset eXchange (“WAX”) to produce sustainable and environment friendly NFTs. The NFTs are on the WAX and Polygon blockchains, which are blockchain networks that require much less energy to operate than the traditional alternative.
The YnG DnA Release will feature art designed with contributions from HoK, Sir Charles Media, Konda, and photography by Lars Kommienezuspadt. YnG Meta NFTs on WAX will be able to redeem for special YnG DnA Meta NFTs on Polygon, qualifying members and buyers for special perks and possible redemptions for wearables and physical items as well as ultra-rare NFTs, a chance to win special virtual gaming sessions with Zaire Wade, and a future HoK Metaverse Avatar.
NFT Packs will be available for sale on October 25th at 10:00 AM PT online at https://nfts.yng-dna.com/#/home. The Big Pack will contain 10 cards at $20.00 while the Huge Pack will contain 20 cards at $40.00. The packs can be purchased via credit card or the cryptocurrency WAX. HoK Genesis members qualify to receive 1 free NFT pack.
Other owner privileges are coming soon, especially for YnG Meta NFT on Polygon holders, as YnG DnA works with the Studio to allow exclusive access to purchase limited edition physical merchandise. In addition, HoK will also be enabling YnG Meta NFTs on Polygon to be used in the HoK Metaverse.
To own the limited series, register for a WAX wallet on on.wax.io/wax-io/.
