Mystery Drop Integration

Forum link: https://gov.rarible.com/t/draft-proposal-mystery-drop-platform-integration-into-rarible/6339/2

Overview

Mystery Drop enables creators such as artists and musicians, to sell a collection of NFTs before revealing the artwork. This feature enables new drop dynamics that creators can leverage to engage with their audience. The primary use case for Mystery Drop is NFT box breaks, where people can buy into a ‘pack’ of NFTs and watch the artist unveil them in real time on a live stream. Mystery Drop uses the Rarible collection smart contract to mint the NFTs. We intend to integrate the Mystery Drop dynamics into the Rarible protocol & potentially the Rarible interface so users can choose a novel way to drop their NFTs to their community.

Funding amount

1500 RARI which will cover:

• Gas & Infrastructure
• Product, Engineering, Ecosystem building
• After launch, the MysteryDrop DAO may collect a portion of the NFT drop proceeds, or other fees to fund ongoing development.

Funds would be sent to a Gnosis safe (0x90C7DFFA2dC273E6aFED1ad70435c15368e0d5C3) with 4 signatures, one for each of the Mystery Drop team members, and possible a member of the Rarible DAO community. In the event the team for some reason can't fulfil on its duties, remaining funds will be returned to Rarible DAO.

Why fund this?

Artists are looking for novel ways to drop NFTs and engage with their community. Having Mystery Drop as a core feature of the Rarible protocol would make Rarible more attractive when artists are selecting what platform to use, and subsequently drive marketplace activity for Rarible. In addition, we intend to launch a DAO to manage development, funding, and ecosystem support long term. We intend to allocate membership in the DAO for Rarible community DAO to align all of our interests.
