RFOX Games' first creation, KOGs — short for Keys to Other Games — now sits atop the leaderboard at WAX NFT marketplace AtomicHub.

More importantly, this achievement is made possible only by the enduring support from a tight-knit community of avid collectors. But things weren’t always so rosy. Yes, we’re very proud of how far we’ve come since August’s launch of KOGs 1st Edition NFTs.

That said, we owe our growth to you, all the collectors out there amassing sets of highly addictive non-fungible tokens.

You know what we mean if you’ve done it before. Once you crack open a pack of KOGs, you can’t wait to do it all over again! And with 3,414 different pieces in the 1st Edition, a complete set is an ultra-rare challenge.

Ready to take a look at how far we’ve come in just 6 short weeks? Let’s press play on a quick trip down Memory Lane …

August 18: Laying the Egg

When the day finally arrived, and the NFT enthusiasts had filled WAX Cloud Wallets as high as they could go, the 3-hour sales window jammed on its way open.

A small hiccup in the main sale’s pack-opening process proved to be a huge boon for collectors. You see, investors with massive stacks of $WAXP tokens attended the main sale, ready to scoop up pack after pack.

However, since a site glitch — resolved in about an hour — prevented anyone from opening packs, those large investors decided not to press the buy button more than a couple of times.

In the short-term, we missed out on some initial sales. But since the 3-hour sales window influenced the overall supply, the number of 1st Edtion KOGs minting to the WAX Blockchain will remain low.

Yes, sales figures were smaller than they could’ve been. But the tradeoff is a low-print 1st Edition collection. In other words, sales went down while rarity went up.

With a total of 6,622 Booster Packs (25 NFTs) and 6,183 Starter Packs (6 NFTs) sold or reserved for giveaways, only 202,648 1st Edition KOGs will ever exist.

Once KOGs appeared on secondary markets, purchases, trades, and marketplace listings have yet to slow down.

Late August — Early September: Cracking the Shell

In the beginning, Blockchain Heroes — a series with a 1-week head start on initial sales — was sitting comfortably in the #1 position on AtomicHub.

And at the series’ onset, KOGs prices were all over the map. But little by little, the market stabilized.

Ultra-Rare KOGs and Slammers became harder to acquire. Collectors began trading their asses off to complete Border Sets, Rainbow Sets, Series Sets, and unique to KOGs, the elusive Supersets.

Yes, we spell them differently than the other sets. After all, they’re in an elite class of their own!

September 19: Leading the Pack

Soon after launch, KOGs sales made 1M $WAXP tokens flow throughout AtomicHub — every week.

And on September 19, 2020, KOGs made NFT history by eclipsing every other series of WAX NFTs selling on AtomicHub.

Yes, there are other secondary markets for KOGs available. But the vast majority of WAX NFT transactions occur on AtomicHub, where you can still (as of today!) find 1st Edition packs up for grabs.

September 19, 2020

Since mid-September, trades and sales volume have both continued to grow. And, the sets that KOGs collectors are putting together are nothing short of amazing! You know who you are — well done!

Wrapping Up

KOGs are only the beginning step for RFOX Games’ foray into the exciting, rapidly expanding realm of non-fungible tokens.

KOGs collectors have proven themselves, time and time again, to be the series’ most significant asset. As collectors ourselves, we have a firsthand look at how challenging it is to complete a set.

And that’s 100x more true if you’re going for ultra-low mint numbers. Good luck out there, everyone!

Remember, KOGs is now the top-ranked WAX NFT series. But that’s without a game attached. Once the game launches and the 2nd Edition becomes available, KOGs use cases will reach all-time highs.

Our fantastic group of collectors has shown us they’re thoroughly enjoying the series. Now it’s our turn to show our appreciation by forging an NFT-powered gaming ecosystem that‘s fun and inclusive.

Once again, thank you for helping make KOGs such a success!
