Tak­ing an uncon­ven­tion­al approach to a pri­ma­ry sale of this scale, Boon­ji Project launched with a Dutch Auc­tion for­mat to min­i­mize gas wars and enable its cult-fol­low­ing a fair­er chance at mint­ing a Boon­ji Space­man Avatar. The ground-break­ing sale sold out in less than three hours and mint­ed 7,444 Avatars at a start­ing price of 3.3ET and offered buy­ers a first-of-kind-oppor­tu­ni­ty to win over $5 mil­lion in phys­i­cal art­work cre­at­ed exclu­sive­ly for the sale.  Pio­neer­ing a new ‘phy­gi­tal’ art world, the unprece­dent­ed give­away includ­ed five-hun­dred lim­it­ed-edi­tion sculp­tures, thir­ty sin­gle-edi­tion paint­ings and one icon­ic sev­en-foot Mon­u­men­tal Boon­ji Space­man.

In advance of the high­ly antic­i­pat­ed launch, Boon­ji Project amassed an erup­tive cult fol­low­ing on Dis­cord with over 134,000 mem­bers and almost 4,000 serv­er boost­ers as well as sup­port from notable fans includ­ing Novak Djokovic, John Sta­mos, Didi­er Drog­ba, Andre Iguo­dala, Grig­or Dim­itrov, Thur­man Thomas, Jon Najar­i­an and Joe Dese­na among others. 

I am hum­bled to be part of this wild and unex­pect­ed ride into the meta­verse,” said artist Bren­dan Mur­phy. One of the most excit­ing parts of this jour­ney has been the incred­i­ble sup­port for the Boon­ji Pro­ject and see­ing the Boon­ji com­mu­ni­ty grow. The cre­ative ener­gy has been incred­i­bly inspir­ing and rewarding.” 

On the heels of the Dutch Auc­tion Pri­ma­ry Sale and as a trib­ute to the Boon­ji com­mu­ni­ty, Boon­ji Project will release an addi­tion­al 3,334 Boon­ji Space­man Avatars as part of a 24-hour Whitelist in which all mem­bers will be guar­an­teed an NFT. Antic­i­pat­ed Whitelist sales are expect­ed to gross over $2.5 mil­lion with sales on the sec­ondary mar­ket poised for expo­nen­tial growth.

Dif­fer­en­ti­at­ed by dynam­ic ani­ma­tion, each Boon­ji Space­man Avatar reflects Mur­phys icon­ic Boon­ji Space­man’ series and fea­tures unique, dig­i­tal back­grounds with ele­ments from the artists most cov­et­ed paint­ings and sig­na­ture for­mu­las. Beyond the val­ue of the NFT, each Avatar will have addi­tion­al util­i­ty to unlock access to exclu­sive events in the larg­er Boon­ji Uni­verse as the jour­ney continues.
