Last month, Secret Network announced a partnership with NFT marketplace Opensea on the launch of a one-of-a-kind Secret NFT collection in November. The collection features an undisclosed artist.
“The first NFTs of their kind, the Secret NFTs featured in this upcoming auction will offer buyers exclusive content viewable only to the holder – and that has also never been seen previously by anyone but its creator,” the project said in a statement.
The first auction is slated to be followed by a second — larger collection — that would be available for purchase and to mint by a general audience.
