Besides that, the mint will be public, meaning that there will be no whitelist for this collection. The sale will work on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Total Supply: 1,888
- Mint price: To be announced this week
- Mint Date: January 17 ( Time TBA )
- Purchase Limitations: There is no limit of NFTs you can buy per wallet/account

Things To Consider
This new NFT collection seems promising considering that it comes from a very notable magazine. However, don’t forget to still do your own research.
Besides that, this new collection seems to have a very extensive minting process since they are requiring everyone to undergo the KYC process before minting.
Therefore, that’s definitely something you should note.
Another thing that you should note is that there are currently no mentions of this NFT collection being available on major marketplaces like OpenSea.
he only thing that the Snowcrash website says is that it’ll be available on a secondary market within their platform.
The Future
Based on the Snowcrash FAQs, there might be a chance for more National Geographic NFT Collections in the future.
They said that they are committed to making exciting experiences for the Web3 community and empowering a new generation of artists to showcase compelling stories.
