- Polygon has emerged as a favorite for top brands venturing into Web3.
- Etihad has tipped the network for what could be a thrilling NFT launch.
- Etihad is no stranger to the Polygon network.
As big brands continue to reveal interest in the Web3 space, Polygon has emerged as a favorite, boasting partnerships with Starbucks, Nike, and the Warner Music Group.
Like Warner Music Group, which recently partnered with the network for the second time, Etihad Airways has again revealed intentions to partner with Polygon, announcing plans to launch a special edition non-fungible token (NFT) collection to celebrate the latest “Mission: Impossible” film.
Etihad Chooses Polygon for High-Stakes Mission: Impossible NFT Launch
In a tweet on Monday, July 3, Etihad NFT announced that it would launch a special edition NFT collection on Polygon to celebrate the release of “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.”
While the utilities and mint date are yet to be revealed, the collection is set to have a limited supply of 300 collectibles. Community members have also been given a chance to be whitelisted by retweeting and dropping their wallet addresses in the comments.
The NFT launch comes as part of Etihad’s partnership with Paramount Pictures. The airline and its staff notably feature in the latest installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, set to debut on July 12.
It is not the first time that Etihad is partnering with Polygon. The airline partnered with the blockchain network to launch its first-ever NFT collection in July 2022. The EY-ZERO1 collection featured a limited set of 2,003 3D aircraft models.
Etihad is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. The airline flies to 130 destinations. In 2015, it generated over $9 billion in revenue.
On the Flipside
- It is still unclear what utilities the NFT will provide.
