Pepsi and VaynerNFT drop free genesis collection, 1inch and Parts of Four partner to expand the P4 Metaverse, Tom Brady gifts NFTs on Autograph and Pantone releases the Color of the Year 2022 with Tezos
Cointelegraph has had a lot of nonfungible token (NFT) related news this week from pop culture to sports and gaming. Below is a roundup of stories you don't want to miss.
Pepsi and VaynerNFT team up
Pepsi launched their Mic Drop genesis NFT collection made up of 1,893 generative style NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. The number commemorates the year Pepsi was born. Consumers will only have to pay gas fees, and to ensure more manageable fees, Pepsi implemented a waitlist process from now until Dec. 14.
In homage to the brand’s history, the design of the NFTs are grounded in variations of a microphone visual and inspired by iconic Pepsi flavors including classic blue Pepsi, silver Diet Pepsi, red Pepsi Wild Cherry, black Pepsi Zero Sugar and more.
The Pepsi Mic Drop NFT collection was designed by and created with VaynerNFT, a consultancy under the umbrella of the VaynerX holding company. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerNFT told Cointelegraph, “NFTs will change the culture of value creation forever This is an exciting moment for the brand to build loyalty and bring immense value to its community and fans."
Additionally, Pepsi is implementing a carbon offset program for the launch of the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT to ensure a net carbon footprint of zero.
1inch and Parts of Four drop Mystery Box
A joint collection of magic and industry by 1inch and Parts of Four will debut as a Mystery Box drop on the Binance NFT Marketplace on Dec. 13. In total, 22,000 NFTs with 31 versions will be minted across seven levels of sophistication and offered at 25 Binance USD (BUSD) each.
Based on the Parts of Four catalog, the NFT collection of digital jewelry employs an alchemy-based NFT approach. The collection will also be part of a game focused on acquiring and forging rare wearables across P4’s upcoming Greater Metaverse.
The P4 metaverse expansion will begin with an ERC-20 community token, P4C and then toward an NFT platform running on the Binance Smart Chain, or BSC. The Parts of Four ecosystem plans to promote interaction with the physical world via embedded tech, AR and bi-directional swaps via the P4 platform.
Tom Brady drops Origins NFT collection for the holidays

The catch, however, is that the NFTs will be a mystery at the time of purchase until Dec. 14, when token owners can unlock them to reveal a collectible in 1 of 5 possible styles and tiers of rarity.
