Parallel Alpha
Parallel is offering a free NFT claim on Saturday, Jan. 21 starting at 3:00 p.m. ET, according to a tweet from the project.
Why It Matters: The official launch is quickly approaching for Parallel's trading card game and now users will be able to claim a free card to add to their arsenal.
Action Items:
Starting on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET, users can head to parallel.life and claim a free NFT. It is only required that users have a Parallel account and a web3 wallet and enough ETH to pay the transaction fee for the card claim.
Users can create an account here.
What's Inside?
Claiming a free NFT could result in being rewarded with a First Edition, Special Edition, or Masterpiece Parallel Card. Those who receive First Editions will instantly have their cards delivered at claim. Claimers who earn a Special Edition or Masterpiece will receive their card after the Parallel Faucet closes on Jan. 23.
Go Deeper:
Parallel is releasing 45,000 fully-playable playing card starter decks as the full game launch approaches, according to a tweet from the project.
What's Inside:
Each deck contains 40 NFT cards, and a strategy guide to help users prepare for playing the official game. All the available cards were held aside from the existing supply, and no additional cards were minted.
Why It Matters:
Starter decks have always been a helpful introduction to a game, as some might recall from other popular card games like Pokémon. This serves as an easy entry to the Parallel ecosystem for those interested, rather than asking users to undertake the daunting task of "building their own deck."
What's Next:
The packs are not yet available but will be sold in partnership with Coinbase NFT ahead of the official launch of the full trading card game.
Community Thoughts:
Parallel is dropping the cost of its upcoming Pack Drop 6, releasing fewer packs during the drop, and adding more SE's per pack, according to a recent tweet from the team.
Why It Matters: This is Parallel's final pack drop and it offers more value per pack than Pack Drop 5. The reduced cost and better odds of pulling SE's will likely make this drop more anticipated than the last.
Need to Know:
- Jan. 14 at 5 p.m. ET
- 8,605 total packs
- 6,692 FCFS and Manifest packs
- 0.195 ETH per pack
- 3 packs per person
❗ Take Action: Request early access to the pack drop here.
What's Next: A snapshot for PK and MP holders is coming soon, and additional details on the Manifest process are expected tomorrow.
The mechanism for sending cards pulled in Pack Drop 6 is the same as Pack Drop 5, and users can expect them to be sent to the purchasing wallet.

Parallel Alpha shared rarity details on its upcoming Comic drop on Tuesday afternoon.
The drop will take place on Saturday, Oct. 29 and will host three different types of Comic NFTs: First Edition, Collectors Edition, and PRIME Edition.
Each tier will be randomly assigned to the minter after purchase utilizing Chainlink VRF.
In addition to the comic NFTs, minters may also receive a Parallel card NFT that is usable in the trading card game.
The following will be distributed to each tier:
- First Edition = 2,233 First Edition comic NFT
- Second Edition = 1,000 Second Edition comic NFT and 1 comic card back that is usable in the trading card game
- PRIME Edition = 100 PRIME Edition comic NFTs and 1 comic card back that is usable in the trading card game.
Each comic NFT will also receive one item that was redacted in the announcement.
Collecting only this issue of the comic NFTs will not make a user eligible for the upcoming physical hardcover comic. Instead, users will need to collect issues 1-6 in order to be eligible.
Parallel has announced that the PDV NFT Pack redemption process will open on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET for Prime Key and Master Piece holders.
Collectors will be able to list packs after the redemption process. At that time, new collectors will be able to purchase PDV NFT Packs on secondary marketplaces.
The PDV drop went live on September 10. The Parallel team reconfigured the pack drop process this time around to give more opportunities to obtain Prime cards than the previous four drops. Users who purchased Tier 1 packs in last week's drop will have an 8% chance of receiving one of the 905 Prime cards available in PDV.
