It is a collection of 16,031 NFTs minted within the 24 hours of January 3 and 4, 2023, on the Ethereum network. The collection emerged at a time when activities in the NFT sector had slowed due to the recent unprecedented crypto market trend. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jackbutcher\/status\/1610673904263266304?s=20&amp;t=DXiP29v-W0wAK_ntY04iog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Butcher<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with 12,000 pieces minted, the collection had already recorded almost 2,000 unique collectors\/owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you wondering what the fuss about the Checks collection is?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Checks collection was inspired by the new trend of assigning verification checkmarks to Twitter users who can spare $8\/month for the privilege. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will be an exciting read, so grab something to sip as you enjoy the tale of the Checks NFT Collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>About the Twitter Checkmark<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recall that Twitter has a blue verified checkmark that symbolizes legitimate accounts of public figures and celebrities, including active and prominent users of the bluebird space since its inception. The checkmark signifies the importance and certifies the legitimacy of public figure accounts that Twitter has verified to address the spread of fake accounts and catfishing in its space. When Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, he changed the status quo of the checkmark by offering it to everyone who can afford an $8 monthly service fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-53670 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2-300x104.png\" alt=\"All You Need to Know About the Checks Collection\" width=\"684\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2-768x265.png 768w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2-370x128.png 370w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2-760x263.png 760w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection2.png 813w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\"\/><\/noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1587498907336118274?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Butcher already had the idea of creating the checkmark theme before Musk\u2019s acquisition; however, the change made it a perfect time to hatch and create the Checks collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>About the Checks Collection<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Checks official <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u2018<\/span><b>Checks is an infinite canvas for expression designed to challenge the concept of ownership and authorship in the internet age.\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Check collection (or VV Edition) is an open edition collection of 16,031 NFTs which currently has 4,298 collectors, with an average collector owning 3.5 Checks. As of this time, the collection has recorded 18,128.5711 ETH ($30 million) in trading volume, with a circulating supply of 16,029, out of which 10,500 were listed on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/collection\/vv-checks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OpenSea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at a floor price of 1 ETH.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Check NFT features 80 checks in an 8\u00d710 portrait grid. Within 24 hours of launch, 16,027 NFTs were sold out at $8\/NFT, imitating the recent Twitter charges for checkmarks. According to OpenSea, the project was created and listed by Visualize Value, a consulting agency founded by Butcher. From the available analytics on OpenSea,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1,982 owners (61%) have 1 NFT each<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">812 owners (25%) have 2-3 NFTs each\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">349 owners (11%) have 4-10 NFTs each<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">91 owners (3%) have 11-25 NFTs each\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22 owners (0.7%) have 26-50 NFTs each\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 owners (0.7%) have over 51 NFTs each<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above data implies that this project is remarkable, considering it launched a month ago (January). Interestingly, all Checks have 2 traits; their name (Checks) and number. Each Check bears a number that signifies its number\/level on the mint sequence, doubling its unique ranking level from 1-16,031. Though 16,031 Checks were minted, only 16,030 exist, because Check 10845 was burned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-53671 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-235x300.png\" alt=\"All You Need to Know About the Checks Collection\" width=\"452\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-235x300.png 235w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-370x472.png 370w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3.png 419w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-53671 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-235x300.png\" alt=\"All You Need to Know About the Checks Collection\" width=\"452\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-235x300.png 235w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3-370x472.png 370w, https:\/\/nftplazas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Checks-Collection3.png 419w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the NFT might appear as a black &amp; white portrait of checkmarks on OpenSea or other marketplaces, its true multicolored composition is visible on different media platforms. Furthermore, to make the Checks ecosystem engaging and fun, Butcher introduced a burn mechanism tagged \u2018a semi-perfect number.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What is the Semi-Perfect Number?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recall that there are 80 multicolored checks in each Checks NFT and that 80 is regarded as a semi-perfect number due to how some of its factors sum up to 80 (excluding 80). The summed factors are 40, 20, 10, 5, 4, and 1; when you add these numbers together, they equal 80. The concept of this semi-perfect number has a dual purpose;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is used to burn existing Checks NFT to generate an on-chain original edition of Checks NFT that has the number of each factor of the semi-perfect number. This means you can burn the original Checks to create a Checks NFT of 40, 20, 10, 5, 4, or 1 multicolored or black check (for the 1 factor).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also used to establish a quest to uncover 1\/1 black Checks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How does the Burning Mechanism Works?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The burning mechanism involves and begins with burning 2 original Check NFTs to get a smaller edition original. For instance<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning 2 original 80 Check NFTs results in a 40 Check NFT<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning two 40 Checks results in a 20 Check<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning two 20 Checks results in a 10 Check<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning two 10 Checks results in a 5 Check<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning two 5 Checks results in a 4 Check<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning two 4 Checks results in the coveted black 1\/1 Check<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collectors can stop burning at any stage, however, the process is irreversible. The burning aims at creating rare on-chain NFTs because each referenced-factor edition is limited. The burning quest will define the rarity of the original 80 Checks collection; the more they are burned, the rarer the unburned NFTs become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, burning NFTs will generally reduce the number of tokens in circulation; this concept of burning two to get lesser but rarer Checks will also make the on-chain editions of the 80-factors rarer due to their limited numbers. This means the 1\/1 Checks will be the rarest, followed by the 4-factor, 5-factor, 10-factor, 20-factor, and 40-factor editions. However, if more Checks of a particular factor are burned, it\u2019ll make the unburned NFTs of that factor rarer as the number of tokens in circulation is reducing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What an ideal and exciting project!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Top 10 Most Expensive Checks<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the inception and public trading of the Checks NFTs, the collection has recorded a whooping sum of money change hands for an item that initially cost $8.
