So far, two batches of “Tribute to KAWS” NFT mystery boxes have been unlocked. More than 50 have been traded in the secondary market since the first batch of 75 were sold. However, the popularity of this series has led to its counterfeit.
On September 15, Gate.io NFT Magic Box made an urgent announcement, stating that counterfeits of “Tribute to KAWS” NFT mystery boxes started to appear in the market after the launch of this series. IDs that are known to have violated the rules have been banned for 30 days; users who traded counterfeits “Tribute to KAWS” NFT mystery boxes will have their transactions withdrawn and get their refund. An announcement on how to tell counterfeits from legitimate boxes is issued as well.
According to the official announcement, transaction risks can be lowered when users purchase “Tribute to KAWS” NFT mystery boxes at officially recognized Gate.io NFT Magic Box. In addition, users can distinguish the validity of a “Tribute to KAWS” mystery box based on the following three characteristics.
The first step is to look at asset description. The creator of the original edition must be “NFT Magic Box Assistant” whose level is VIP1 and has an NFT Magic Box as avatar. The second step is to look at the content of the box. Official mystery boxes include box number, rarity, and level of popularity. These content cannot be copied or plagiarized. The last step is to see whether the price is a fixed one, details of which can be found in the official announcement. All boxes with a price lower than the official price are counterfeits.
Given the actual popularity and value, many insiders from the industry speculate that the “Tribute to KAWS” series is likely to become the most popular and valuable NFT mystery boxes this year.
