CryptoSnoos are bucketed within different types of rarities: Legendary (unique, of a kind), Epic (extremely limited edition), and Rare (limited edition). The initial three Snoos on OpenSea are all Legendary.  \n  \nReddit is clearly looking at how the CryptoSnoos can be integrated on the platform as well. Initially, CryptoSnoos will provide a glow animation to user avatars, and the [NFT](https://beta.everipedia.org/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) card will replace profile avatars. Users will also be able to view the CryptoSnoo ‘stats’ on the back of each card.  \n  \nThe platform describes the [NFT](https://beta.everipedia.org/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft)s as “pieces of art that come from different dimensional coordinates across spacetime. A fusion of past and present, high-culture aesthetics mixed with the popularity of kitsch and cartoons – fragmented, abstracted, impressionistic, futuristic folk and modern (post and pre), and definitely enlightened (but in an avant-garde, neo-classical contemporary kind of way).  \n  \n# How it works?  \n  \nThe non-fungible world can be a confusing one, so we’ve made CryptoSnoos as simple as we can.  \n  \n* Find available CryptoSnoos in Reddit’s avatar builder : User should visit the NFT section of Reddit’s avatar builder, and click Get Ready for Auction to connect their MetaMask wallet to their Reddit account.  \n* Place a bid in the OpenSea auction and win!: CryptoSnoo auctions take place in OpenSea, one of the top NFT auction platforms around. Once the auction starts, place a bid.  \n* Claim their CryptoSnoo and become a proud NFT owner : after user's win the auction, they can claim their CryptoSnoo to become the official owner and show it off on their Reddit profile.  \n* Use their CryptoSnoo as their Avatar on Reddit : User's can set their CryptoSnoo NFT card to be their avatar on their profile for the world to see.  \n* User's will have a glow about on Reddit : User's comments will feature their CryptoSnoo avatar with a glow animation.  \n* CryptoSnoo stats live on the back of each card : Tap the NFT symbol in the top right corner of their CrytoSnoo card to reveal all the crucial details.  \n  \n# Non-Fungible Token  \n  \nThe Original Block [Non-Fungible Token (NFT)](https://beta.everipedia.org/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) is created with Reddit's characteristic Snoo caricature. It is associated with the early days of Reddit and Reddit culture because of its resemblance to the original version of Snoo, said Reddit. The Helium NFT is associated with the contemporary art movement because of its reference to popular culture and everyday objects that are blue and sparkle, according to Reddit. The Snooprematic NFT, on the other hand, is made up of geometric forms such as squares, circles, and rectangles presented in an array of colors.  \n  \nReddit says when someone purchases a CryptoSnoo [NFT](https://beta.everipedia.org/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) and links it to their Reddit account, the CryptoSnoo image will become their Reddit avatar, and a collectible NFT card will go on their profile. In addition, they will also get an animated glow on their comments, so everyone knows they are a CryptoSnoo NFT owner. Owners would also be able to sell their NFTs to someone else if they wish to.  \n  \n# Reddit and Crypto  \n  \nThe social media platform is no stranger to crypto. Sub reddit [Cryptocurrency](https://beta.everipedia.org/wiki/cryptocurrency) is arguably one of the most vibrant community of crypto fans online, with over 1M subscribers placing it firmly in the top 500 most subscribed subreddits on the site. Along with the aforementioned native crypto ‘moons’ for the subreddit, the platform also brought ethereum-based tokens to Fortnite subreddit.  \n  \nNow, with CryptoSnoos, the site is showing another step of ingraining crypto – this time into broader operations with profile integration. CryptoSnoo owners need not just apply them to their Reddit account if they don’t want to, either; owners can hold, transfer, and sell them like a standard NFT.  \n  \nSnoos utilize Ethereum (ETH) ERC-721 contracts and are hosted with IPFS as well. At present time, they are only supported on Reddit’s desktop version, with the NFT experience not yet being built for mobile optimization. Additionally, there are limited details to date on when more CryptoSnoos will be released. Bidding for the first three Snoos closes on July 1.  \n  \nHow will this foray into broader crypto-ingrained operations for Reddit remains to be seen, but it will certainly be an interesting experiment to keep an eye on while many social media companies comparatively watch from the sidelines.","summary":"Reddit CryptoSnoos are collections of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) from Reddit.","categories":[{"id":"nfts","title":"nfts"}],"tags":[],"metadata":[{"id":"reddit_profile","value":"https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/"},{"id":"commit-message","value":"New Wiki Created 🎉"}],"user":{"id":"0x51f01C580d4Bf9dE0E8d43F8bABa80512594D5e3"},"author":{"id":""},"media":[{"name":"image","size":"0.822","id":"QmQPWgjULDho54a34VfUk1GmRziaP9hKNSuJDiryPKje2z","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.060","id":"Qma59Risif9f9Qq68bR4Ek63DKThUKXgWBdjYErAkzL59f","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.081","id":"QmUWUdVJyksADSy1QvY5Rx8H46prhs6ovbmx2nLiCRTWL2","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.376","id":"QmcyoDcgqvfhWQ63NMbyRLvXX2wzMF6sfMZyybcdXqLmbJ","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.416","id":"QmNgT6SVi3fHRNb7zi6k4Djv4TkBv38kgnpovnBnBGgxdC","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.165","id":"Qmdo8AJEQvxuMsc4fwb1yV7DgYLT99yDSTdJbrAM2NCnUM","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.103","id":"QmZUpexpZWqZoEHa7ussprHr2FuXmMKDnmSXLydnb9WPG6","source":"IPFS_IMG"},{"name":"image","size":"0.145","id":"05886a8c-14b4-4c4c-901b-a5865ae65001_DEFAULT_ID","source":"IPFS_IMG"}],"images":[{"id":"QmRPwHfAbcXfk1aj49tpi7fE2fJB4ou89EYjBs6B9JTNCA","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}]}
