Neon District’s ‘Baus’ Gaming Asset Sells for Record-Breaking High During Founder’s Sale

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#bausauction–Neon District assets are out and we’ve wrapped up our epic sale! The Founder’s Sale was the opportunity for our users to sign up for Founder’s Keys and unlock the first round of rare digital assets to be used in-game for upcoming seasons. Read the full Founder’s Sale FAQ here.

The unprecedented highlight of the event was the Baus auction, which allowed a key holder to bid on the game’s first boss NFT. The Baus is a completely unique asset – only one holder can own the sole collectible – and we’re proud to announce that the auction broke past the $25,000 mark! This makes it one of the highest grossing crypto collectibles, and even places it amongst the top 10 most expensive digital gaming assets of all time (source).

Along with owning something that is one-of-a-kind and a major part of the game’s launch, the winner gains access to the first set of game-influencing features. In this case, the owner is able to influence a number of the design elements, its background music, and more. Full details found here.

We also had the chance to speak in-depth with the Baus’ owner, Alex Amsel, and discuss his future plans for the rare item. Indie video game developer, crypto enthusiast and big-time NFT collector, Amsel has cutting-edge plans for ND’s big bad boss.

“I’m so excited to create something that the community can have fun and play with. I truly believe in the importance of supporting a creative community and the Baus will be in the center of this endeavor. Be on the lookout to see what our plans are!” – Alex Amsel

We’re honored to have such a dedicated collector helping take the reins on one of the game’s most important assets.
