8 December 2020: Animoca Brands announces that F1® Delta Time’s 2020 Content Pre-Sale on 4 December 2020 sold out within 5 hours, during which participants spent 44,480,000 REVV, equivalent to about US$1.3 million. The 2020 Content Pre-Sale, which offered players new 2020 content for the official Formula 1® blockchain game at a 50% discount, was the highest-grossing non-fungible token (NFT) sale event of 2020, to the best of the Company’s knowledge.
The pre-sale concluded a remarkable week of NFT-related sales for F1® Delta Time, which also auctioned the first Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco track segment, breaking all previous NFT price records, and the “Bahrain Edition 2020” Apex race car. All together, F1® Delta Time sold a total of 56,211,752 REVV (about US$1.6 million) in NFT goods in the first week of December 2020.
All transactions in the 2020 Content Pre-Sale were conducted in REVV, the ERC-20 utility token that serves as currency in branded motorsports games produced by Animoca Brands. The 50% discount applied to the 2020 Content Pre-Sale was based on community participation: a total of 74,853,255 REVV was pre-deposited by all players to secure the discount. The amount that was actually spent in the pre-sale was 44,480,000 REVV (~US$1.3 million). Users who deposited REVV for the pre-sale can claim back any unspent REVV starting on 11 December 2020.
The full F1® Delta Time 2020 Content Sale will be conducted later in December 2020. More details will be announced soon.
