Minting Mayhem ⚡️
We had plenty of new moments minted over the past few days — including the next Common Set, titled ‘Hustle & Show’. These will feature some of the flashiest and grittiest plays from the 2020-21 season, and are expected to drop in the next few weeks. Check out this thread for more details.
Prior to the release of the Cool Cats 6 Challenge on Thursday, community speculation went wild with a ‘former dunk champions’ theory. Which… Didn’t turn out great. Check out the chart Derrick Jones Jr., one of the main moments involved in the hype. Via FlowMarketCap:
That is QUITE the pump. However, the theme tying the common moments needed ended up being ‘Alley Cats’, leading to a massive dump off of those speculated moments. Be careful out there in the speculation streets!
Also minted — several new common moments. Is the community ready for the first Goga Bitadze moment?!?

Season 1 Moment Plan — REVEALED 🎟
The much anticipated plan regarding the surplus of Series 1 moments dropped late Friday afternoon, and it could fundamentally change the Top Shot ecosystem. Full details, via the NBA Top Shot blog:
We’re excited to preview a new feature to further provide utility for all of your Moments. This feature will be added to the Top Shot ecosystem in the next few months that’ll make collecting even more compelling and dynamic long term.
More details: https://t.co/yrQFCtvdqk https://t.co/cfQHcd09I7
Wait, what’s a trade ticket? Each moment on the platform will be assigned a value of one trade ticket. Have a bunch of junky moments you don’t care about? Turning them in for tickets could make you eligible for a queue — with a pack of Series 1 moments as the reward.
That is a simple explanation, but it’s a bit more nuanced — check out the blog above for the full details. While many have hoped that the ‘burning’ of moments would eventually be a feature, this is a somewhat similar move that provides some extra utility to the least desirable moments on the platform.
We have no word yet on how many trade tickets will be needed to be eligible for the queue, only that it would ‘not be a small number’ (via Dapper Labs’ @AlanFalcon in Discord). The implementation is also ‘months’ away, and that the release of Series 1 moments would happen over an 18-month timetable.
Have questions? So did we. Check out this thread with some more information on the trade tickets, and the latest podcast that gathered some of the most pressing questions we had on the new system.
Want more information on the Series 1 moments? We’ve got you.
