14/07/2021 Panthers Partner with Fanaply to Release Exclusive NFTS, Experiences

'FLADrops' give fans opportunity to purchase and bid beginning with 2021 Panthers Draft Party

 July 13, 2021

SUNRISE, Fla. - The Florida Panthers announced today an all-new partnership with leading digital collectibles developer Fanaply who will host, sell, trade and distribute the Panthers first official Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collections as well as offer auctions and access to exclusive experiences via 'FLADrops' marketplace.

"Through the partnership with Fanaply, we're offering Panthers fans, hockey fans and collection enthusiasts the chance to purchase and bid for digital collectables and incredible experiences," said Panthers Chief Strategy Officer Sam Doerr. "Adding a contesting and experiential element to our NFTs is just that next layer to set them apart and give our fans something special to enjoy in the all-new 'FLADrops' marketplace."

"At Fanaply, we believe that NFTs are the future of fan and consumer engagement, and we are thrilled to be working with the Panthers to provide their fans with such incredible experiential rewards," said Grant Dexter, co-founder and CEO of Fanaply. "It's also important we focus on creating environmentally friendly NFTs. Most NFT marketplaces trigger a carbon-intensive blockchain transaction for every individual NFT sale, meaning if a collection of 100 NFTs sells out, 100 blockchain transactions occur. In contrast, Fanaply's managed wallet system generates a single blockchain transaction when our NFTs are first minted, but then avoids subsequent blockchain transactions entirely, creating just 1% the carbon footprint of other platforms. We applaud the Panthers on their visionary NFT strategy and for delivering such true value to their fans."

To kick off the partnership, the Panthers will release two first-of-its-kind 2021 Panthers Draft Yacht Party NFT collectibles and experiences in their first ever NFT Drop, the 'Golden Yachty' and the 'Draft Yacht Party Lottery Ticket.' The 'Golden Yachty' is a unique 1 of 1 NFT available via auction. The winning bidder and one guest will be guaranteed VIP access to the Panthers Draft Yacht Party on Friday, July 23rd with an exclusive, personal experience. Bidding begins today and will conclude on Sunday, July 18 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The 'Panthers Draft Yacht Party Lottery Ticket' is an Open Edition NFT available for $10 purchase. One winner will be randomly chosen after July 19th to attend the Panthers VIP Draft Yacht Party with one guest. Fans can purchase lottery tickets beginning now through Sunday, July 18 at 11:59 p.m.

Both the 'Golden Yachty' and 'Panthers Draft Yacht Party Lottery Ticket' winners will also receive food and beverages as well as a Panthers merchandise pack. All proceeds will benefit the Florida Panthers Foundation. Please click here to learn more or purchase the newly released NFTs.

An NFT (non-fungible token) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier Arrés’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, Arrés, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, Arrés uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, Arrés elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. Arrés presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, Arrés freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier Arrés: https://javierarres.com/about.html
