Metalink, the NFT giveaway app, has announced the integration with Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Ethereum mainnet to promote randomness and transparency in NFT giveaways.

NFT giveaways on Metalink with Chainlink

With this integration, Metalink will be able to offer its users giveaways that are easy to participate in, while winning NFTs will be a clear and transparent process. This approach will be adopted in every giveaway initiated by Metalink. It will provide a higher standard of quality in the awarding of prizes.

The system offered by Chainlink is manipulation-proof.

Jake Udell, CEO and founder of Metalink, said:

“Metalink’s number-one priority is to provide our communities with a unique and safe NFT social platform. With Chainlink VRF, our collectors can enter giveaways in a single click, while also knowing we’re using a technology that prioritizes fairness and transparency to determine winners. Chainlink VRF is an obvious solution to the problems NFT projects face when conducting raffles. We’ve incorporated Chainlink VRF into Metalink for each collection we support so that teamshave easy access to verifiable randomness to conduct provably random giveaways”.

Tomasz Wojewoda, global sales manager at Chainlink Labs added:

“We’re excited that the Metalink team chose to integrate Chainlink VRF for a secure source of randomness as Metalink hosts a large and growing collection of novel NFTs. Chainlink VRF will help ensure that each giveaway conducted on Metalink is both auditable and tamper-proof, bringing enhanced transparency to its community members”.

New giveaways on Metalink

Chainlink’s new technology on Metalink will be tested immediately for Deadfellaz‘s collection consisting of three pairs of Nike Air Force Ones customized by SekureD and premiered at the National Gallery of Victoria and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Deadfellaz founder Betty said:

“We are thrilled to be able to provide our community with a fair and transparent way to enter giveaways and contests via Metalink’s integration of Chainlink VRF. Community safety is a priority for us at Deadfellaz, which is why we are so enthusiastic about the platform Metalink has developed and look forward to the Horde enjoying their dedicated Metalink server”.

Metalink has announced the release of the Spotify-inspired NFT Wrapped of the Year, animating for free all Noin-Fungible Tokens bought, sold, and traded by the owner in 2021. 

Metalink and the Spotify-style NFT Wrapped.

One way to celebrate the last year that saw the explosion of the collectible token market is offered by Metalink by releasing its NFT Wrapped that allows anyone who owns a Non-Fungible Token to view their year in review. 

NFT Wrapped was inspired by Spotify’s ubiquitous annual Wrapped campaign. On that note, Jake Udell, CEO and Founder of Metalink said:

“The NFT community is always looking for the next big thing. NFT Wrapped gives each individual the opportunity to look back on what has been an industry changing year for NFTs. Creating this feature is an opportunity for Metalink to give something to a space that has given us so much, and hopefully create lasting relationships in these communities.”

Essentially, the custom feature allows users to reflect on their experiences, connect with other NFT owners and generate an NFT that summarizes their year to share even more widely.

How the Wrapped NFT Works 

Users who want to participate in Metalink’s animated experience should visit nftwrapped.metalink.com and connect with the Ethereum wallet that contains their NFTs to revisit their past year. 

The free NFT Wrapped animation involves typical crypto-humor with graphics highlighting the owner’s NFT statistics such as first purchase, largest purchase, and even total fees paid, humorously presented in units of Tesla that the user could have bought. 

Users can directly copy and share a culminating image of their NFT Wrapped, starting new conversations with other users like Cozomo Medici, Ryan Sean Adams, and Chamath Palihapitiya, who will share their generated images. 

The NFT Wrapped is an initiative, part of the “12 Days of Metalink,” a series of releases and features to celebrate the launch of Metalink’s MVP and the historic year of Non-Fungible Tokens. 

2021: from Bitcoin to NFTs and Metaverse

2021 was an eventful year for the cryptocurrency sector that saw the explosion of NFTs and metaverse, but also ATH – All-Time High prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as bans on BTC mining by China and the adoption of BTC as legal tender by El Salvador. 

In the specific sector of Non-Fungible tokens, if 2020 was the year of DeFi, 2021 can be said to be the year of NFTs in all respects, inaugurating NFT-mania. Statistics, in fact, speak of a market that realized volumes of $13 billion with nearly 8 million primary sales and 6.3 million secondary sales. 

Even celebrities have taken the field in this sector, such as Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, who tokenized his first tweet by selling it at auction for $3 million. But also sports brands like Nike and Adidas or luxury brands like Dolce&Gabbana have not missed the opportunity to create their own NFTs. 

Recently, the words of former US President Donald Trump, who associates cryptocurrencies as something dangerous, have been publicly opposed by his wife, former first lady Melania Trump, who is launching NFTs on Solana’s blockchain.
