Whale.io has officially launched the $WHALE NFT collection on Solana. This launch marks the next step in rolling out the platform’s native token. It also brings the community closer to the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE).
The $WHALE NFTs are fully tradable digital cards. They add a new value layer to the Whale ecosystem. Each card holds a fixed amount of $WHALE tokens. These tokens are locked on-chain and backed 1:1. This means every card can be redeemed at any time for the tokens inside it. Minting is now live only at mintwhale.io. Users can mint these asset-backed cards and start trading right away. Cards can also be traded on secondary marketplaces like Magic Eden.
This new format turns $WHALE into a hybrid asset. It works like a collectible NFT card. At the same time, it carries real token value. That value can be checked instantly on-chain. Cards can be sent, sold, or held freely. Holders always know the locked $WHALE can be unlocked. Tokens can be returned to the Whale.io platform whenever needed.
Key Benefits of the $WHALE NFT Model
Liquidation and stronger community –
$WHALE NFTs allow holders to turn tokens into tradable crypto assets. This supports liquidity. It also helps keep the ecosystem active and growing.
Easier entry for new participants –
Anyone can now join the Whale ecosystem. Users can simply buy cards on Magic Eden. This removes the need for the usual play-to-earn grind.
Seamless top-ups –
Players with low $WHALE balances can buy more cards on secondary markets. They can redeem the cards instantly. This gives them playable tokens right away. Players can keep enjoying games, battle passes, and rewards without delay.
Every card is backed by real $WHALE tokens. This backing is fully transparent. It can be verified on-chain at all times. Because of this, value always stays clear and anchored.
Utility Already Live
$WHALE is already used as the native currency across Whale Originals titles. This includes games like Crock Dentist and Blackjack. Holders use $WHALE for gameplay. They also use it for Battlepass purchases, staking rewards, and special in-platform features. This utility is available today. It will grow much more after the TGE.
Next Steps on the Roadmap
More features are coming soon. These include a Staking mechanism. This will allow users to lock liquid $WHALE into cards. A Token Swapping interface is also planned. This will allow one-click redemption. Whale.io has also confirmed its plan to do regular market buybacks. These buybacks will be followed by permanent token burns. This approach is designed to support long-term token health.
Participation Now Open
The $WHALE NFT collection is now open for minting. Minting is available only at mintwhale.io. Full details are shown on the site. This includes card tiers, pricing, and redemption steps. All on-chain actions are fully transparent. They can be viewed through Whale.io’s official Treasury wallets.
