Shiba Inu (SHIB) have joined the NFT craze and released 10,000 Shiboshi NFTs.
But what are Shiboshi and how do I buy one?
What are Shiba Inu’s Shiboshi NFTs?Shiba Inu have released 10,000 non-fungible “loveable creatures” called Shiboshi NFTs.
The Shiboshi NFTs were released on October 14 at 5:30 PM EST (10:30 PM GMT) and
sold out in just over 35 minutes.
They are hosted on Ethereum’s blockchain and each NFT has a unique trait such as laser eyes or a party hat making them collectibles.
Shiba Inu’s NFTs come with generic names like 00001 but holders will be able to name the Shiboshis for an additional $100.
In a blog post from October 5, Shiba Inu’s project lead Shytoshi Kusama, said: “It’s important to name your Shiboshi because names are unique and can only exist once in the Shib Oshiverse.
“With the expansions, we are planning, this could potentially make your Shiboshi more valuable.”
The post also says there will be a Shiboshi Game where NFTs holders will be able to use their Shibosi in strategic gameplay.
For example, Shiboshis with laser eyes, will give the player the ability to attack long-distance and “blind an opponent or give an additional move.”
How much are Shiba Inu’s Shiboshi NFTs and how can I buy one?Shiboshis were available to buy exclusively on ShibaSwap – Shiba Inu’s decentralised exchange (DEX).
For the first 24 hours after they went live, users needed to use LEASH to buy Shiboshis.
After that, they could have been bought using Ethereum but Shiboshi’s sold out in just over 35 minutes.
The price of Shiboshi NFTs depended on its tier.
1-3000 cost 0.1 ETH, 0.1525 LEASH or $350, 3001-8000 cost 0.2 ETH, 0.3051 LEASH or $700 and 8001-10000 set users back 0.3 ETH, 0.4576 LEASH or $1050.
Each wallet was able to buy a maximum of 10 NFTs.
