Azuki has announced the launch of Azuki Elementals, with a presale event for Azuki and BEANZ holders on June 28th. The sales schedule is as follows:

  • Azuki holders can mint 1 Elemental NFT at 00:00 (Beijing time) on June 28th.
  • BEANZ holders can mint 1 Elemental NFT at 00:10 on June 28th. During this period, Azuki holders can mint one Elemental NFT for each Azuki they hold, subtracting the number of Elementals minted in the Azuki presale round.
  • At 00:20 on June 28th, public sales will open. Each wallet can mint up to 3 Elemental NFTs. The public sale will use a Dutch auction starting at 2 ETH, with the price decreasing by 0.1 ETH every 5 minutes. A total of 10,000 Elementals will be available for public sale.

Azuki and BEANZ holders will need to pay a deposit of 2 ETH and will receive a refund of the difference between the deposit and the final price in the Dutch auction.

Robinhood will delist ADA, MATIC, and SOL on June 28th at 6:59 AM.

Following this news, ADA, MATIC, and SOL experienced a decline of over 20% on June 10th.
