The transition of NFT collection ‘y00ts’ from the Polygon to Ethereum blockchain has rolled out. This started on 16 October 2023, and within the first seven hours, 4,600 ‘y00ts’ holders migrated their assets from Polygon to Ethereum. To incentivise early adoption, the project is covering all gas fees for first movers within the first 24 hours. It’s also randomly distributing 10 ‘y00ts’ NFTs to wallets that switch blockchains within the first day. The transition process has been facilitated by partnering with Wormhole Crypto’s cross-chain NFT standard. Additionally, to prompt ‘y00ts’ holders to migrate their assets to Ethereum, the project will impose a royalty fee of 33.3% starting 22 October for ‘y00ts’ collectibles traded on Polygon.
