During the first week of July, Reddit revealed the company had plans to release blockchain-backed avatars that leverage the proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain Polygon (MATIC). At the time, Reddit said that Polygon was chosen for its “low-cost transactions and sustainability commitments.” On October 18, 2022, Reddit’s chief product officer Pali Bhat explained, while speaking on a Techcrunch Disrupt panel, that three million Vault blockchain wallets crafted by Reddit were created to date.
Bhat further told the event’s attendees that 2.5 million were created in order to obtain the latest NFT avatars. According to statistics stemming from the blockchain analytics portal Dune Analytics, Opensea’s Polygon daily sales volume has skyrocketed and secondary market sales crossed the $5 million mark on Monday across 20,375 total sales. In the last 24 hours alone, the collectible Reddit NFT avatars recorded $1,951,860 in sales.
