FLUF World announced a new benefit for its holders, in partnership with Cryptowalkers. FLUF World holders will be added to the allowlist for the upcoming Female Walker mint on December 6.
Cryptowalkers are developing an open-world adventure game called "Walker World" with Unreal Engine 5. Cryoptowalkers recently shared a trailer of its play-to-earn third-person shooter game.
A snapshot of holders will be taken 48 hours prior to the mint, and each wallet will be able to mint 2 Female Walkers. Other NFT projects that will be on the allowlist include ASM Genesis Brains, Seekers, ATEM Car Club Membership, and Drug Receipts. The mint price was not yet announced, but head on over to the Cryptowalkers or FLUF Discord for up to date information as the mint approaches.
FLUF World has reset the mint price for holders to utilize its Thingies art feature according to a tweet from the project.
The mint price for each Thingie will return to one moon rock, and double with each successive mint up to 32 moon rocks in total. This move comes just a few weeks after FLUF allowed Thingies to create art without any rest period, after previously requiring them to wait 32 days.
What Are Thingies? What's Going On?
Thingies are a collection of artistic spiders that make up a separate companion collection on the FLUF World platform. Thingies, which have a floor price of 0.3 ETH, have the ability to help generate AI-produced artwork for FLUF holders.
However, to build this artwork Thingies must spend moon rocks. Each Thingie NFT was provided an initial supply of moon rocks, but they can also be purchased in the FLUF World store with $ASTO, a FLUF utility token.
With moon rocks in tow, Thingie holders can head to the FLUF Underworld, connect their wallet, and start painting with their Thingie NFT.

FLUF World recently announced a fix for a bug in its Thingies Art Generation, a platform that produces AI-generated artworks.
"The Satchel Thingies tell us a nasty bug has been interfering with the quality of their creations," the team wrote on Twitter. "We've fixed the bug and Thingies Art is again generating in 4K [resolution]."
This bug follows a recent update from the team, where status badges, new views, and rest periods were added, changed, or removed from the platform. Read more about that update here.
Mint new AI-generated artwork via Thingies Art Generation here.
FLUF World added three new updates to its Thingies Art Generation, a tool that allows Thingie holders to create their own AI-generated artworks.
The team added status badges, added a view for each Thingies' artwork, and removed the rest period to art generation.
"We've removed the rest period for Thingies to make generating art more intuitive," Snowball wrote on Discord. "No more waiting 32 days. Now, your Thingie can start creating new masterpieces instantly."
When Thingies get tired, however, they'll require more Moon Rocks for inspiration.
The current art mint is as follows:
- First mint, 1 Moon Rock
- Second mint, 2 Moon Rocks
- Third mint, 4 Moon Rocks
- Fourth mint, 8 Moon Rocks
- Fifth mint, 16 Moon Rocks
- Sixth+ mint, 32 Moon Rocks
