The Polygon [MATIC] network will now feature the ice-cold slushy called Slurpee in the form of a digital collectible, made possible by 7-Eleven, the world’s largest chain of convenience stores. The dessert-themed NFT game, accessible only via mobile devices, would showcase a virtual 7-Eleven Slurpee cup and four flavors: Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Pina Colada, and Summertime Citrus.
“We’re always looking for new and creative ways to celebrate with our customers on our favorite day of the year,” Marissa Jarratt, Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer at 7-Eleven said in a press release. “Maybe you’ll even give us some inspiration for future flavors,” she added.
Anyone interested can select any or all flavors to make the Slurpee of their dreams. After filling the cup, the collector is given the option to either claim their “Slurpee Vibe Digital Collectible” or return to the previous screen and start anew.
The user can choose “claim now” if they are happy with their creation to go to the following screen, which requests their name, email address, and phone number. To redeem the Slurpee NFT, the collector will get a six-digit code through email.
Several high-profile brands have teamed up with the MATIC network to work on various Web3 projects. Some of the projects include the coffee giant Starbucks Odyssey rewards program on Polygon, which is currently open in beta to limited users.
In 2022, Meta tapped into Polygon to leverage blockchain technology and explore the NFT space via the social platform Instagram. And it will introduce its first paid collectible after providing some free prize NFTs to early customers.
Polygon Fared Well In The NFT Domain
The Ethereum scaling network has witnessed double-digit growth in the NFT metrics over the past week. According to information from Cryptoslam, the overall volume of NFT sellers and purchasers has increased by 20% during the last week. Both the total number of NFT transactions and its total sales volume climbed by more than 25%, which strongly suggests that NFT activity has expanded.
Due to several positive on-chain signs, MATIC’s price clocked gains of roughly 30% over the past month at $0.73. According to an on-chain expert, a “mini-run” was started by the 12th-ranked asset, which was still up 6% in the weekly index.
