The Metaverse Takes Miami.

Greetings from sunnier climes, Huggers. The lines between work and play are blurred more than ever as Huggers and degens from across the ecosystem gather together in Miami. While this isn't Web3's first rodeo with Art Basel, the future of art's presence is more prominent than ever before.

While some of your Web3 friends combat crypto winter with warmer weather, HUG has some gifts to give this holiday season ⤵️

HUGlidays Points Redemption

'Tis the season for giving! We're gifting our holders the opportunity to collect art from Web3's hug-worthy creators for 0Ξ. We wanted to give back to all the Huggers who give reviews at thehug.xyz & incentivize newcomers to get excited too... so we set aside 10Ξ to collaborate with Web3 artists to have their work available thru our HUGliday Points Redemption.

How to participate in the HUGliday Points Redemption:

🤗Become a Hugger by owning a HUG Pass or Meta Angels NFT

✍️Login to thehug.xyz to give reviews to your fav artists

🪙Earn HUG Points to exchange for artwork

How many HUG Points will you need to claim artwork?

To keep things fair and manage demand, we'll be distributing art on a raffle basis. Art redemption raffles will cost 2,500 HUG Points on average with the highest entry raffles at 10,000! HUG Points will only be deducted if you win a given raffle redemption.

When I can claim a work from a particular artist?

Different artists will be available to claim at different windows starting December 5 into January. Once the claim window closes, raffle winners will be drawn, and your opportunity to collect that work from this promotion will be end. Turn on your Twitter alerts and stay tuned to our socials to stay in the loop.
