Claynosaurz – Earlybirds Invest

Claynosaurz has revealed further information about its upcoming Popkins NFT collection.

This new collection will be released on the Sui blockchain and will consist of 25,000 NFTs. The launch uses a unique minting system involving booster packs, which contain digital rewards and varying chances of obtaining a Popkin NFT.

The project has outlined several pack types and eligibility criteria for free mints linked to existing Claynosaurz holders. The public mint price has been set, though the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed.

What are Popkins?

Popkins is an NFT collection comprising 25,000 unique digital assets on the Sui blockchain.

Each Popkin is distributed within a “booster pack,” which also contains other digital rewards. The packs come in three varieties: Escape Packs, Legendary Packs, and Rat Packs.

Escape Packs do not include a Popkin but provide a full refund of the mint cost along with other rewards. Legendary Packs guarantee the inclusion of a Popkin NFT and Rat Packs guarantee a Rat Popkin—a specific variant within the collection.

How to participate in the drop?

The minting process involves purchasing booster packs, with varying chances of receiving a Popkin NFT depending on the pack type.

Certain holders of Claynosaurz NFTs—specifically those holding Dactyl NFTs and CLASS-SELECTED OG and Saga Claynosaurz—will receive free Legendary Packs. These holders must select a class for their NFTs by May 26, after which the selection period will pause until after the mint.

The public mint will be priced at $200 per pack and is open to anyone. During the mint, purchasers will receive either an Escape Pack, which includes no Popkin but refunds the mint cost, or a Legendary Pack that guarantees a Popkin.

Additionally, owners of Pizza collectibles from NFT NYC 2023 are eligible to claim guaranteed Rat Popkin packs.

What is Claynosaurz?

Claynosaurz is a digital collectibles project launched on the Solana blockchain in November 2022 featuring 10,222 animated 3D dinosaurs, each part of one of seven fictional species.

The collection’s visual identity is influenced by stop-motion and clay animation, with each dinosaur designed to have a distinct personality. Its backstory is built around the fictional concept of a child bringing toy dinosaurs to life through imagination.

Claynosaurz attracted early attention on Solana, generating over $600,000 in trading volume within two weeks of launch. Its creators have continued to develop new features whilst maintaining a focus on storytelling and animated content.

What can you expect from the expansion?

The expansion to Sui will introduce several new components such as an achievement system that tracks activity and engagement across the Claynosaurz ecosystem. Whilst Solana-based NFTs will still be supported, achievement tokens will be minted exclusively on Sui.

Following this, the project will release a new collection called Popkins. The collection introduces 25,000 new digital characters, but instead of using a traditional NFT minting process, the team will issue digital booster packs. Each pack contains a chance to receive a Popkin or a species card. Some packs may also include cosmetic items or other digital content, though details on pricing and distribution have not yet been made public.

The final item on the near-term roadmap is a mobile game, planned for release in 2025. The game will feature real-time dinosaur battles and will initially be available on iOS and Android with support for the SuiPlay0X1 handheld console expected to follow.

Developers have stated that blockchain elements will be handled in the background, making the game accessible to players without requiring prior knowledge of web3 technology.
