WHAT TO EXPECT
FanCraze is opening up the beta to fans and we want you to know what to expect. The roll-out is designed to gain valuable insight from early participation, and gain momentum into launching to the world. New packs will be released along the way and early packs will sell out, so make sure to keep an eye out for new drops.
WHAT IS FANCRAZE
Towering sixes. Toe-crushing yorkers. Heart-breaking run-outs. Flying catches. The level of drama in ICC events is simply unmatched in the sports world. Now you can own a piece of that action. FanCraze and the ICC have teamed up to create ICC Crictos, a new collection in which legendary moments and unforgettable plays become digital collectibles on Flow Blockchain that you can own forever.
WHY IS THIS SPECIAL
Crictos are the first of their kind ICC digital collectibles. For the first time, cricket fans can participate in the digital economy of cricket, owning, trading, and using NFTs, while showcasing their fandom. Here is what you fans can do:
Build a Collection: Putting together a complete collection is an amazing achievement. A collection is a curated themed group of NFTs or stills that share some common characteristics (Sixes, Fours, Catches, Batters, Bowlers, T20 WC etc.)
Trade with your Friends: Trade NFTs with your friends from around the world within minutes. Thanks to Flow blockchain, you can securely transfer ownership of a NFT to anyone else at any time.
In-Game Value: In addition to the underlying collectible appeal and intrinsic value, these NFTs can be used in various applications and play-to-earn games which will be developed over time in the FanCraze Metaverse.
Real-World Utilities: Through ownership of NFTs, fans can win once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Think about getting to view that much-awaited ICC World Cup Final match from a VIP spot in the hospitality box, or interacting with your favourite cricketer one-on-one!
WHAT’S IN THE PACKS
Before the marketplace goes live, the only way for you to purchase the NFTs will be through packs. Each pack will have several NFTs, as clearly outlined in the pack page. NFTs are tiered, so some Common NFTs will live in every type of pack, but Rare, Epic, and Legendary NFTs could be limited to higher tier packs. For the first drop, we will have 2 tiers of packs priced at $9 and $49. We may add another pack priced at $199 or higher.
RARITY OF MOMENTS
There are four active tiers of FanCraze NFTs that will be a part of the packs, based on rarity, ranging from the collectible Common tier to the ultra-scarce Legendary tier.
Common Tier: Highly Accessible. (1000+ copies per NFT)
Rare Tier: Smaller Edition Sizes. (500-999 copies per NFT)
Epic Tier: Limited Edition. (150-499 copies per NFT)
Legendary Tier: Elite Collector Level. (25-100 copies per NFT)
MOMENTS IN THE FIRST DROP
We will have 60 moments from the 2015 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup as a part of the packs that will be dropped. A list of the 60 moments will be made available when the website goes live on Tuesday, 25th January at 12 noon UTC.
The first set of 60 moments will represent 60 cricketers including Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Babar Azam, Kane Williamson, AB DeVilliers, Chris Gayle, Ben Stokes, Mitchell Starc, Rashid Khan, Kumar Sangakkara, and many more. Moments representing each of the top 10 cricket-playing nations will feature in the first pack drops.

EXPLAINING THE QUEUE
Pack Reservation Window
Leading up to a pack drop, we’ll announce that it's happening via email and will try to provide you with a reminder. Users will typically get 24-48 hours to reserve a pack. Please visit fancraze.com where you’ll be able to access the pack by selecting the thumbnail of the soon-to-be-dropped pack on the site's homepage. Once you are on the pack page, click the button to “Reserve Pack''.
Join The Drop
Once the pack reservation window closes, you need to visit fancraze.com and access the pack that you reserved. On this page, you need to click the button to “Join The Drop.”
The Queue
The system randomly assigns each user who has reserved a pack a place in the queue. Your place in the queue will largely determine whether you’ll be able to purchase a pack or not.
HOW DOES THE FANCRAZE WALLET WORK?
The goal of FanCraze wallet was to make it easy for mainstream consumers to participate in the blockchain economy. The FanCraze wallet is a custodial wallet with the ability to allow purchases with fiat currency via credit cards, online banking, and other localized on-ramps.
FEES TO EXPECT
For payments in India either via UPI, Netbanking, Mobile Wallets, or Cards, the processing fees are currently, and will be for the foreseeable future, ZERO for each transaction.
For each credit and debit card transaction globally, an industry-standard processing fee will be applied to each purchase. These fees will be charged in USD and will be clearly outlined in your checkout screen.
KYC EXPECTATIONS
In order to comply with financial regulations, users of FanCraze will go through a KYC process only when larger sums of money are either being spent or paid-out. This will also help keep the community safe to eliminate fraud.
