Netflix and Candy Digital are set to release the first non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on the acclaimed series Stranger Things on 14 July.
Featuring 17 different characters from season 4 of the Netflix series, the Stranger Things NFT collection has a total of 11,111 tokens.
The collection was first announced by Netflix and Candy Digital on 2 June. While Netflix is one of the world’s most famous streaming platforms, Candy Digital is the official NFT ecosystem of Major League Baseball (MLB).
The Stranger Things NFT collection is the first non-sport NFT drop by Candy Digital.
Eleven’s tokens are rarest in the collection
The collection features 748 tokens, each dedicated to Mike, Hopper, Joyce, Dustin, Max, Lucas, Steve and Eddie.
There are only 223 tokens of Eleven, around whom the story of Stranger Things revolves. This makes Eleven’s NFTs the rarest in the collection. All other characters have 613 tokens each.
Each of the tokens looks like poster-style artwork of the characters from the show, which bagged 13 nominations at the 2022 Emmy Awards.
Can you feel ‘em creeping up on you?🕰
July 14th is your date to unwrap @Stranger_Things digital collectibles and discover a new dimension of fandom 🍬❤️🔥
