<\/figure>\nArtBall is a unique NFT concept that launched with the Australian Open last year. It leverages gamified elements, offering holders dynamic, shot-by-shot generated art that depends on the flow of the championship.<\/p>\n
As part of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open ArtBall project, fans will have the opportunity to claim an ArtBall uniquely linked to a designated area on and around the iconic 17th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links.<\/p>\n
Every holder starts off with the same base ArtBall, and there are 3010 ArtBalls in total. Each shot, pending their position on Hole 17, will cause each ArtBall to uniquely evolve throughout the championship. More specifically, all ArtBalls will be updated with the appropriate scorecard sticker and metadata trait depending if it\u2019s a \u2018Landing Point\u2019, \u2018Closest to the Hole\u2019 and\/or \u2018Longest Hole Out\u2019, along with other updated traits and metadata\u2014check this thread<\/a> for more details and overview of each generative pattern.<\/p>\n
As the tournament concludes, each ArtBall will have a unique design\u2014watch the secondary marketplace to expand your collection!<\/p>\n
Simple for golf enthusiasts
<\/h2>\nThe launch of these digital collectibles will happen in two phases:<\/p>\n
- \n
- White list + secondary sales launch<\/li>\n
- Public launch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
After the whitelist period expires at 6:00 AM EST July 7<\/strong>, claiming an ArtBall is open to anyone with an Ethereum wallet.<\/p>\n
During the public mint stage, the collectible itself will cost you nothing, but you’ll have to pay a small minting fee of $2 (0.00039 ETH) and gas fees.<\/p>\n
