The Golden State Warriors 2022 Playoff NFT Collection was created to include 3,000 NFTs that feature 12 unique designs. The designs will be randomly assigned when minted on FTX US, the Warriors’ official marketplace.
According to the news blog, each of these designs has its level of rarity, and all of the NFTs are collectibles that double as a pass to the GSW community on Discord. Based on the NFTs rarity, fans have the opportunity to unlock prizes, including NBA Finals tickets, Warriors NBA Championship Rings, autographed items, additional NFTs, exclusive merchandise, and more.
The NFT collection will include 1947 Warriors NBA Championship Ticket Stub, Oracle Arena Ticket Stub, Warriors Varsity Jacket (1-of-1), Warriors Foam Finger, Warriors 2015 NBA Championship Ring, Warriors Championship Banner (NASDAQ:BANR) (1-of-1), Warriors Historic Logo Collage, Warriors Basketball Hoop, Warriors Golden Basketball Hoop, and a Warriors 75th Anniversary Diamond.
In addition to the collection mentioned previously, a special addition of the 1-of-1 Gold Bar All-Access Pass is also presented as the “crown jewel” of the collection. The NFT is paired with a lot of benefits and utilities, along with a physical version of the Gold Bar and two tickets to all Warriors 2022 playoff games at Chase Center. All these can only be purchased directly from the auction.
As promised, a part of the proceeds of the NFT collection will go to the Warriors Community Foundation, the team’s official charity foundation that supports education and youth development. Since its inception in 2012, the foundation has granted $25M to support educational institutions over the Bay Area.
