The Duck Butts™: Frequently Asked Questions
When was the first auction?
The first auction was held on Friday July 2, 2021!
How Does the auction work?
One unique Duck Butt Card will go up for auction every day Monday - Friday. The auction will start in the morning (typically around 7-7:30AM ET and end 15 hours later that night.
How is this different from BAYC and Galley CAts etc?
We LOVE the other 1 of 1 avatar collections! The Duck Butts™ is different in that it is still randomly generated (but not programmatically). Each card is lovingly hand drawn and edited, and is truly a 1 of 1 work of art. Also, we are exclusively on the WAX blockchain! Plus, we are using an auction system to distribute, we feel strongly that if you are going to spend money, spend it on something you love and feel connected to. If you don't love the Duck Butt up for auction, then don't bid! We want you to buy the art, not the hype. We intentionally chose a daily auction system to slow down the distribution and give us time to make meaningful connections with each owner.
What if a Duck Butt Doesn't sell in auction?
In the sad, sad, unfortunate case of a Duck Butt not finding a new home in the auction, we will lock it away in a vault never to be seen again... just kidding, we'll either use them in giveaways or list them for flat rate sale!
Why wax?
We feel that the WAX blockchain embodies some of our key priorities: community, and conscientious creation. The @wax_io team is easily accessible and helpful, and the WAX community is like none other in the digital art and NFT realm. AND it is carbon neutral and environmentally friendly. And did we mention no GAS fees?
how will you give back to the community?
Giving back to the community is our top priority. We are a father-son collaborative team at TiDBYTS™ and started NFTs to help get through the past year. We've met a lot of wonderful people in the NFT community. 25% of sales will go to charity (TBA). In addition, 25% of sales will go to the The TiDBYTS™ Fund, a way to help new NFT creators get their collections off the ground and support new digital art.
What are some future directions for the Duck Butts™?
We have a lot planned for the future! In order to showcase the nft artist community, we are developing artist collaboration Duck Butts (Artist Series). We also have pans to branch out into commissioned 1/1 Duck Butts (Series X) and Duck Butts created for legends in history (Duck Butt Legends). We take feedback very seriously, this is for the community, so any and all ideas are welcome!
