What is known about Moonbirds? It is an NFT collection of 10 000 owl avatars. Moonbirds was launched on April 16 by Proof, a media startup founded by venture capitalist Kevin Rose. According to Dune Analytics, the total sales volume of NFT Moonbirds amounted to almost $360 million in just over a week. The ten highest sales range between $397 000 to $1 million.
What led to the rapid success? According to The Block Research’s NFT analyst Thomas Bialek, Moonbirds’ rapid success was due to several factors: Rose’s support, the success of his previous project, Proof Collective, and the fact that collectors prefer NFT projects with a successful track record.
Moonbirds is launching a new feature called “nesting,” in which holders will be able to gain membership in a private club, giving them additional benefits. Depending on how long holders have owned their NFTs, they will achieve different status levels, Rose explained.
