As the holiday season approaches, the web3 community is filled with cheer and excitement. From decentralized gift exchanges to virtual Christmas parties, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the joy of the season online.
One popular way to celebrate Christmas in the web3 world is through the use of
NFTs. These unique digital assets can be used to represent everything from holiday-themed art and collectibles to virtual experiences and gifts. Remember to do your own research, if you plan to buy any Christmas NFT.
If you’re a fan of secret santa, Santa.fm is something that can interest you.
How it works?
🎁 You deposit one or more NFT to the pool and receive a wrapped gift NFT. Of course you don’t know what NFT you will receive. All of that is a fun way to spread holiday vibes among friends in the web3 community.
I liked that idea and will definitely participate in it!
Remember, that you will not receive your NFT back and you can receive one that is not worth the same amount of ETH that your token.
