The Moonbeam x HUG Open Call
To mark their integration with Rarible, Moonbeam wanted to do something special: partnering with HUG, they created an artist’s fund and put out an open call for artists.
The response was overwhelming, and it wasn’t easy selecting the final works, but here they are! 10 artists were selected and each received a $1,000 grant. In addition, they will also receive all revenue from the mints which are priced at 10 GLMR each ($1.57)–and of course all royalties (we got you!)
