Mecha Melters Launch
Later today at 5:00 p.m. ET Mecha Melters will go live for public sale minting. Piggybacking on the Alpha Wave of Creepy Creams, the Mecha Melters are a collection of 6,000 metaverse-ready NFTs that are designed to fend off the Creepy Cream hordes. The collection is built into four classes of Melters, and will utilize staking mechanics and more. Only 220 Mecha Melters have been minted in the presale thus far.
Merge Movement Coming Today
The "Merge" mint is still taking place on Nifty Gateway despite the closing of the sale on December 4. After previously releasing an announcement suggesting just a few hours before movement would be enabled, Nifty Gateway updated their stance last night, insisting that all mass NFTs would be minted and available for movement or "merging" by today, December 8. The "Merge" sale thrust Murat Pak into the top spot in total earnings on one sale for a living artist.
Merge Update: Our dev team is still working. To ensure that everything is done properly we will delay the unlock of the Merge NFTs to tomorrow. This is in an effort to make sure that the start of the secondary market is fluent for all 28,000+ collectors. Thanks for your patience.

Preparing for Thingdoms Mint
Thingdoms, a 10,000 piece collection of NFTs minting on Ethereum, have generated quite the buzz on social media and inside their locked discord community this week. After announcing a partnership with Zeneca, the collection has continued to tease a mint during the course of this week - though no date has yet been announced. Be sure to stay close to the Lucky Trader Newsfeed and follow the Thingdoms on Twitter for more information as the week unfolds.
OpenSea CFO Walks Back IPO Talk?
Late last night, newly appointed OpenSea CFO Brian Roberts seemed to walk back the talk of an expected IPO for the NFT marketplace. The updated announcement from Roberts sparked a returned enthusiasm for a potential OpenSea token and airdrop for users that have helped build the marketplace to its current standing. Wen token, Brian?
There was inaccurate reporting about @OpenSea's plans. Let me set the record straight: there is a big gap between thinking about what an IPO might eventually look like & actively planning one. We are not planning an IPO, and if we ever did, we would look to involve the community.
