Barely six months ago, Bankless embarked on a new journey into the world of web3 media.

“Collecting podcast NFTs” was a phrase that confused even crypto natives at the time. Fast forward to today - it’s been one heck of a ride. Thank you so much to all collectors who have joined us on this journey thus far.

**But we’re only just getting started.** 😈

[As announced on Friday, *Phase I *is coming to a close](https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ/status/1657075757406126081?s=20) and we’re gearing up for a new and improved ***Phase II** *Launch soon™️.

Before we get into the details, let’s take a quick look back at some of the incredible highlights of *Phase I*:

- *~2,200 total mints*
- *~540 unique holders*
- *~3.5 ETH raised for Bankless DAO*
- *~4 ETH raised for guest charity*
- *150+ ETH in total secondary volume*
- *And a record-breaking 1.98 ETH sale on the SBF vs. Voorhees episode*
Podcast NFTs have blown our expectations out of the water.

However, *Phase I*’s success didn’t come without some recent challenges. With gas prices skyrocketing and weekly mints trudging on, we felt it was time to take a step back and revisit Collectibles from the ground up.

The goal of *Phase II* will be to double down on what’s been working, build what needs building, and level-up Bankless Collectibles in all ways, shapes, and forms possible.

## What’s Next?
**Two weeks from today, **four things will happen:

- **All *Phase I* Monday Mint & Gauntlet Friday collections that haven’t been fully minted out by the 2-week deadline will be forever closed. No more *Phase I* editions can ever be minted after the 2-week deadline.**
- To see all *Phase I* Bankless Collectibles that haven’t minted out yet, go [here](https://collectibles.bankless.com/archive).
- To view the 2-week deadline timer, go [here](https://collectibles.bankless.com/archive).
2. **At the end of the [2-week deadline](https://collectibles.bankless.com/archive), a snapshot will be taken of all current holders of the *Phase I*:**

- Genesis Collection
- Gauntlet Fridays
- Monday Mints
3.** Genesis Collection holders who hold ALL 5 Genesis Collection pieces in the same wallet will be airdropped a very special NFT**. Here are the 5 Genesis Collection NFTs you must hold in the same wallet by the end of the [2-week deadline](https://collectibles.bankless.com/archive):

- Episode I - The SBF vs. Erik Voorhees Debate ☠️
- Episode II - The Crypto Renaissance | Josh Rosenthal 👨‍🎨
- Episode III - The Ownership Economy | Li Jin 💯

- Episode V - Endgame | Vitalik Buterin 🎮
4.** All holders of any singular 1 of the below pieces will be eligible to claim their *Phase I* Bankless Collectible commemorative piece(s)**. Each below piece held = 1 *Phase I* Bankless Collectible commemorative piece. Here are the pieces below:

- Any Genesis Collection NFT (excluding wallets that hold all 5 pieces)
- Any Monday Mint NFT (including bonus Gauntlet Friday mints)

## Phase II
Two weeks from today, once all of the mints have closed, a **snapshot** will be taken of all holders.

After the snapshot is taken, we’ll airdrop the special NFT (see #3). At the same time, we’ll also open and set the claim period for Bankless Collectible commemorative piece(s) to be claimed (see #4).

As soon as the claim period ends, Collectibles *Phase I* will be over and we’ll unveil our grand plans for *Phase II*.

We’re just getting started. We’ve got big plans for the future of Bankless Collectibles and how it ties into Bankless’s broader vision. 😈

Stay tuned and see you in 2 weeks. 🫡
