Also, the pre-sale on the Animoca Brands’ Launchpad, which was held on the 3rd of November, resulted in 1,0001 vouchers sold in 22 minutes. These vouchers cost about $500, totaling the absolute pre-sale to $500,000. As from the 3rd of May, holders can use their vouchers to redeem 2,500 Quidd tokens.
