As announced in our May 6th, 2021 Medium post, the buyback program — our process of buying and locking 75% of all ERN profits into a contract vault for 2 years — is now completed from Drops Zeke Elliott to James Dean (21–30).

We deployed a locking contract on Ethereum mainnet that will store and lock ERN for 2 years from the lock-in time. The contract is verified so the source code is publicly available. The lock() and withdraw() functions are quite simple: only the owner of the contract can lock, and only the owner can withdraw after 2 years (or exactly 63,072,000 seconds*).

You may verify the lock-in time and the lock-in ERN amounts by querying the public functions lockTimeInSeconds() and amountsHistory() on Etherscan.

Those tokens will be available for withdrawal after:

This is a true testament to the open-source and transparent nature of blockchain, and a commitment to our beloved ERN community.

  • 1 day has 86,400 seconds, 1 year has 365 days, 2 years have 730 days — 730 days x 86,400 seconds per day = 63,072,000 seconds)

Today, we then completed our buybacks for Drops 21–30, and then locked the entire ERN balance of 13,637.44 ERN ($74,381.32 at time of writing) in the contract.

RECAP: The Ethernity team is hard at work, ready to launch an array of licensed IPs in upcoming aNFT drops and multipacks. This broadly focused team, including crypto natives and advisors, has partnered with leading figures in the fields of sports, arts, entertainment, music, movies, gaming, tech, collectibles, and more. Together, we have built an authenticated, licensed, rights-driven aNFT platform and marketplace, producing highly curated quality aNFT collections to drive long-term value.

Our recent series of groundbreaking drops began with Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott followed by our groundbreaking collaboration with the Associated Press on their Transhumanism collection.

October was a powerhouse month for Ethernity, featuring the debut collection from NBA Hall of Famer, Shaquille O’Neal for his “Eras of Dominance” collection with Justin Maller, Ken Block’s Hoonifox collection, and the launch of The Heavy Metalverse, in partnership with Heavy Metal.

We kicked off November with the iconic Luis Suarez collection and we brought Geoffrey back to live with the Toys “R” Us drop. We rounded out the end of the year with more next-gen collections from AFA, DeLorean, and James Dean.

2022 will see legendary figures, icons, and future stars mint exclusive aNFTs with Ethernity. Get ready for new innovations and cutting-edge partnerships with the world’s biggest stars. With an optimistic gaze on what the industry is becoming, both culturally and technologically, we will continue to innovate and push the NFT and metaverse ecosystem forward.

BUYBACK:

How?

For the ERN buyback, token is purchased from the circulating supply and locked for two years. And, we’re proud to announce this is now complete. We’ll be providing the wallet details to make the process as transparent as possible and our community will be able to track its holdings. It’s a true testament to the open-source and transparent nature of blockchain and a commitment to our community.
