Reddit Soon To Launch Purchasable Avatars

• Reddit will launch a limited edition blockchain-backed Collectible Avatars.

Reddit, a social discussion platform, unveiled collectible avatars supported by blockchain that will soon be purchased on the platform on Thursday.

With collective avatars built on blockchain technology, Reddit is now elevating this function to a new level. As a result, each image has a special license that is granted to the purchaser.

Back-End of Collectible Avatars

The collectible Avatars from Reddit are kept on Polygon, a blockchain network that works with Ethereum. Because of Polygon’s low-cost transactions and sustainability promises. The new collection will be accessible on the website where Reddit users typically create their avatars. A collectible avatar can be used on Reddit as an avatar after being purchased.

Reddit stated :

Shortly thereafter, we made countless accessories, outfits, and hairstyles available to allow for even more expression. We also brought Redditors custom avatars in collaborating with partners like Netflix, Riot Games, and Australian Football League (AFL).

A select group of new members who join the r/CollectibleAvatars forum is now receiving the new avatars. Every Reddit member will be able to purchase a collectible avatar in the upcoming weeks. 

However, most of the country’s started adopting cryptocurrencies, as part of this social media like Facebook, Instagram also acquiring NFTs to utilize the virtual world.
