FWAIR overview

FWAIR Launches are a new way for creators to distribute NFT collections through the FWA pool. Instead of supplying both the NFTs and their ETH backing, creators bring the collection and supporters provide the backing.

How it works

Once a creator and collection are approved, a FWAIR Launch is created for the collection. The creator escrows the NFTs and sets a base backing price. Supporters then commit ETH backing to positions in the launch.

If every position is backed in time, the launch moves forward. Verifiable randomness may assign NFTs directly to supporters, while the remaining NFTs and their backing enter FWA. If the collection is not fully backed, supporters are refunded and the NFTs return to the creator.

For positions in FWA, a collector can keep the NFT or take its standing ETH bid. The original supporter receives the resulting ETH or NFT outcome. FWA depositor token rewards earned by the launch are shared across all fully supported positions, regardless of which positions resolve first.

Why launch through FWAIR

Supporters get a chance to collect work they believe in on the terms they backed, while the collection is exposed to new collectors through FWA. Because positions can resolve over time, distribution does not have to happen all at once.

Creators can launch without putting up the collection's backing ETH. They are paid through campaign outcomes and the earnings generated by NFTs in FWA, rather than receiving supporter ETH as an upfront mint payment.
