# NFT Minting (Q3 2026)

### **NFT Drops & Early Adoption**

To reward early supporters, Drift Derby will host a series of NFT drops throughout the game's lifecycle. Each drop offers NFTs with unique in-game benefits, giving early adopters a meaningful competitive advantage and the opportunity to secure assets that can appreciate in value on secondary markets.

#### **Purchasing NFTs**

Drift Derby NFTs can be acquired through three distinct channels:

* **In-Game Store** — Available during public sale periods while supply lasts. NFT boxes cannot be purchased in-game during presale windows.
* **Partner Marketplace** — Drift Derby will partner with an established NFT marketplace (such as Magic Eden or OpenSea, TBD) to facilitate launches, presale programs, and the broader resale ecosystem.
* **Drift Derby Custom Marketplace** — A dedicated marketplace is in development and will serve as the central hub for all things Drift Derby NFTs.

#### **The Drift Derby Marketplace**

The custom Drift Derby Marketplace will go beyond a standard trading platform. Players will be able to evaluate their full inventory, mint, buy, sell, and trade NFTs in one place. The marketplace will also integrate live AI race streaming, allowing players to watch races in real time and participate in race prediction markets as events unfold.

### **Presale Seasons and NFT Drop Mechanics**

The presale is structured into four distinct seasons. Each season offers NFT packs with different cars and parts.

#### Season 0: Genesis Packs (Q3 2026)

In total there will be a total of 3024 cars minted each with random parts attached to them. Parts can be removed and re-attached to other cars within the game. Each car will have 1 random part in each customisation slot and will be in 1 of 6 colors.
