What Is The Moonrunners NFT?

Recently, the Moonrunners NFT collection has been unleashing a buzz in the NFT space. It comes second in terms of NFT collections with the highest trading volume in the past 24 hours on OpenSea (at the time of publication). It is second just to the OG NFT collection, CryptoPunks. What is the Moonrunners NFT collection all about and why is it trending currently?

Moonrunners is the latest free-to-mint NFT collection that has hit the market. It is a collection that features 10,000 handcrafted PFP NFTs. The free-to-mint NFT collection, Moonrunners, follows in the footsteps of many NFT projects that recently became a hit. They include We Are All Going to Die (WAGDIE), Goblintown.wtf, and For The Culture.

Apart from being free to mint, Moonrunners have many other things in common with the above projects. For example, it has no roadmap or Discord. The project aims to “cut out the noise and need to go to Discord to stay up to date”. Importantly, it strives to “under promise and overdeliver”—a line that has now become continuous with many recent free-to-mint NFTs.

Furthermore, the Moonrunners project is a CC0 NFT collection. CC0 stands for creative commons zero, which means, it has no copyrights. In other words, you can readily modify and distribute the work as you want, including for commercial purposes.

Who Launched Moonrunners NFT?

Six artists, lore writers, developers, and advisors created the Moonrunners NFT collection. Coming from around the world, the creators are NFT natives with previous project experience. Moreover, Moonrunners is a story-driven project.  Based on the project’s website, the lore goes as follows:

“For the longest time, this Wolfpack lived in harmony and peace on Primordia among humankind, but one month would change the course of history forever and now the Crimson full moon is coming once again…”

Collectors and fans can follow the story on the project’s Twitter which already has more than 14,000 followers. The idea currently is to ‘enjoy the ride.’ Notably, the team promises that they have ‘plenty to offer’. Nonetheless, they are yet to reveal the exact utilities, in case any is available.

How To Purchase A Moonrunners NFT

As previously stated, Moonrunners dropped as a free-to-mint collection. It is meant that everyone may mint up to two NFTs for free and pay just the gas fees. Nonetheless, now that the collection is already sold out, your best chance to get an NFT is on secondary marketplaces like LooksRare and OpenSea.

Today, the Moonrunners NFT collection has a floor price of 0.45 ETH. So far, it has amassed 3,200 ETH in total volume. In case you want to get a rare NFT, you will need to have to shell out much more. For instance, some of the highest-sold NFTs in the collection have fetched 10 ETH.

With all things taken into consideration, it is too early to predict how the Moonrunners NFT collection will fare in the current bear market. Will it just be a hype project or “overdeliver”? It remains to be seen.
