How to Buy Your Rare (R) NFTs: The Subscription Mechanism
R NFTs will be priced at 30 USDT each. Anyone interested in buying one of the 1,200 R NFTs will need to take part in our Subscription Mechanism, which starts at 00:00 UTC on July 4.
For the unfamiliar, this mechanism is a way to ensure that all interested users get an equal opportunity to participate in the primary sale of these limited-supply NFTs. Please note this is not a first-come, first-served system but a four-step process offering equal access.
If you want to get ahead of the game then be sure to sign up for a Binance account before July 4, complete identity verification, and add at least 0.1 BNB to your wallet.
Not clear on how it will work? Don’t worry; we’ve explained everything you need to know below. Be sure to mark the dates and times on your calendar so you don’t miss out!
Phase 1: Preparation (00:00 UTC on July 4 to 02:00 on July 10)
Select the CR7 NFT(s) you want to purchase and make sure you have at least 0.1 BNB in your Binance account during this phase. This is for you to fulfill the specified BNB prerequisite by meeting the minimum daily average BNB holding requirement.
Checked out the link and still unsure? In basic terms, you need to be holding an average of at least 0.1 BNB in your Binance account across the entirety of this period. You must meet this entry requirement by July 10 (02:00 UTC) to qualify for the next phase.
Phase 2: Subscription (02:00 UTC on July 10 to 09:00 UTC on July 13)
During this phase, each user who met the Phase 1 requirements can “subscribe” to participation ticket(s). The function of these tickets is to determine which users will be eligible to buy the R NFTs being sold through the Subscription Mechanism system.
R-tier NFTs are limited to 12 tickets per user. “Subscribing” to a ticket requires you to lock up tokens that correspond to the value of the NFT you’re hoping to purchase. So for every R-tier NFT ticket you want, you’ll need to lock up 30 USDT.
Please note that tickets do not guarantee purchase. Rather, they allow users who subscribe to move to the next phase. Be sure to subscribe by 09:00 UTC on July 13. You can only use the tokens in your Spot Wallet, and these will be locked until the end of Phase 4 (Distribution).
Phase 3: Calculation (09:00 UTC on July 13 to 12:00 UTC on July 13)
All subscribed participation tickets will enter a pool during the three-hour Calculation phase. Users do not have to take any action during this phase. Our system will select winning tickets from this pool between 09:00 (UTC) and 12:00 (UTC) on July 13.
The automated selection process is fair, fully public, and verifiable. For more details on how winners are selected, please refer to our article on the Binance NFT Subscription Mechanism Winner Selection Algorithm.
Phase 4: Distribution (12:00 UTC on July 13)
Once the Calculation phase is completed, you’ll see the allocation details.
At 12:00 UTC on July 13, participants with winning tickets will have their locked tokens deducted in exchange for the R NFTs they subscribed to. The NFTs purchased will then be distributed to that user’s Binance account.
If you hold a participation ticket that does not win, then the corresponding number of locked tokens will be returned to your Spot wallet.
Please note that if you subscribe to multiple tickets it’s not an all or nothing situation. For example, if you subscribe to six R NFT tickets, you may end up with zero NFTs, six NFTs, or any number in between. Winning tickets are picked by the system individually not in batches.
