👀 Big news for @CandyDigital fans👇 Early this morning @CandyDigital started the mint of active fans’ digital collectibles on @solana using @metaplex core. First up is the top level tokens that administer each collection but fans may see signs of progress on their own assets when they log in to Candy.io beginning Monday. (True degens may see progress on-chain before then if they dig around.) Our CTO made some progress on speeding up the mint so (although he won’t commit), I am hopeful we will cut the time down a few days. We are also working with secondary markets to organize the collections into coherent groups but that won’t be until next week (so don’t be concerned if things start out looking a bit disorganized). In short: candy.io is game on‼️🔥💪📈 Coming up this week — lots of news on the “diamond economy” including plans for scarcity burns, auctions, and other primary sales (starting with @MLB ) as well as plans to open cash withdrawals. We won’t permit any secondary market trades until the entire mint to @solana is finished so maybe the end of the week for that one. As ever, individual issues can be addressed at fan-help@candy.io P.S. @nyknicks in 5‼️🏀🏆

👀 Quick update for @CandyDigital fans, I just checked in with our CTO and he says that everything is going very well and he anticipates initiating the Solana mint in the next 24 hours, after which our best guess is that Solana will require up to a week to complete the migration. Fans will be able to see the progression of their own assets by logging into their accounts. 🔥 I want to take this opportunity once again to thank the many fans who wrote to us with suggestions to fix or improve the overall experience of Candy and fan assets prior to this mint. We prioritized the fan assets so we could commence with the Solana mint and will turn to the Candy.io website fixes in due course. That said, our tremendous fan feedback made our efforts hugely better although it put us a little bit behind our original schedule. 💪 Thank you - we are doing something unique here and to have had so many supporters contribute their time and effort to make us better has been hugely gratifying to all of us on the @CandyDigital team. 🙏 Apologies of course for any inconvenience caused by our delay.
