Habbo Avatars

Habbo Avatars from the Habbo NFT website, showing some of the unique features (L-R, eyes and bow, clouds and face, fire horns, bubbles, mask and cape)

Habbo Avatars is a NFT (non-fungible tokens) project, launched in September 2021.

The project involves the 'minting' (a process of turning digital art into part of the Ethereum blockchain) 11,600 unique, randomly generated Habbo Avatars, which are then auctioned on a NFT marketplace platform.

Originally, it was announced that 12,500 Avatars would be available in total, however it was announced via Discord on 1 October 2021 that 900 were 'burnt' (e.g. will never become available).

The Avatars were minted starting on 27 September 2021 and were available to purchase from 28 September 2021. They sold out just over 29 hours after release and generated over $6million in sales. The project also generates money in royalty fees each time a Habbo Avatar is sold.

The project was planned by Sulake's in-house team, masterminded by Muumiopappa, a member of the Sulake team based in Finland and lead game designer for Hotel Hideaway.

Some examples of the NFT Avatars

There are 11,600 unique Avatars available in total during this project. 10,000 of these NFTs were available via the Dutch Auction, with 1,000 further reserved for the Habbo community, and the remainder for 'internal use' and giveaways.

The Avatars are all unique and are programmatically generated from 284 different traits.

Traits include: gender, face, face accessory, eye accessory, hair, hat, head accessory, shirt, jacket, chest accessory, pants, shoes, waist accessory, effect, colour palette, complexion and hair colour. 74 of these traits will be new to Habbo.

Some of the traits are rarer than others, but each Avatar is guaranteed to have at least one trait that is completely new to Habbo.

At first, all Avatars are randomised and anonymous. The full Avatar including the rare traits were revealed early on 5 October 2021.

Auction

The image for the NFT Avatars. Traits are randomly generated and will be revealed from 5 October

The NFT Avatars will be auctioned through the Habbo Avatars website (nft.habbo.com), utilising a major NFT marketplace, OpenSea. Avatars will be purchasable with ETH (Ethereum), a cryptocurrency released in 2015.

According to the NFT FAQs, the Avatars are "premium products aimed primarily at NFT collectors", not necessarily Habbo players.

It has been estimated that these NFTs will generate around $4million, which Habbo confirmed will be "reinvested back into the game" in a tweet.

Auctioned Avatars

10,000 of the Avatars were minted from 27 September 2021. They were originally spotted on OpenSea on 27 September, where 332 Avatars were added, allocated for 'internal use'. This increased to ~550 before the sale, and a further 200 were minted during the first few hours of the sale - totalling around 700 'internal use' Avatars by the end of the initial auction. Before the auction began, one NFT appeared to have been sold at a price of 3ETH, however this was quickly removed.

The anonymous Avatars were released for sale at 12pm BST/7AM EST/9pm AEST on the NFT website in a Dutch auction - an auction method where items are offered at a maximum price which slowly decreases.

The original sale price was 0.5 ETH, which at the time converted as:

Currency	Price
GBP (£)	£1,063.97
USD ($)	$1,454.59
CAD ($)	$1,837.35
EUR (€)	€1,244.99
AUD ($)	$2,000.62
BRL (R$)	R$7,884.46

Under Dutch auction rules, the original price decreased by 0.01 every hour until it reaches a 'floor' price of 0.1ETH until they are all sold.

The sale continued for just over 29 hours and reached a floor price of 0.21ETH at which point they quickly sold out. The value of all Habbo Avatars sold reached $6,018,595.00 according to the Etherscan contract value.

Azerion employee Avatars

Of the remaining 2,500, 1,400 Avatars were set aside for Azerion employees (the parent company of Sulake who own Habbo). This was announced in the project Discord FAQs. This number was drastically reduced later with 900 'burned' and not minted.

Community Avatars

1,000 further Avatars have been reserved for the existing Habbo community, although the method of sale has not been announced or confirmed.

Further Avatars

There are a further 100 Avatars that will be used for giveaways and internally by Sulake.

Benefits

While the functionality will not be available at first, Habbo have confirmed that they do intend for the Avatars to be usable in-game. This will include the exclusive effect, 'weird and wonderful' exclusive items and active Habbo Club and Builders Club memberships. On the NFT website, a roadmap was published (see below) which lists benefits over the first three months after launch.

The icons appear to indicate HC, BC and LTD furni releases.

The Future

Sulake, owner of both Habbo and Hotel Hideaway, have confirmed with the launch of the NFT website that making NFTs a part of their games is a "seriously exciting prospect". Within the NFT website is a statement that they see play to earn as the future of gaming, and see many ideas incorporating modern technology such as NFTs into the games, although speaking more broadly: "While we don’t want to talk about our plans in any concrete or confirmatory terms, we do see ourselves moving towards a broader adoption of blockchain technology and NFTs, and the gradual adoption of a play to earn experience in Habbo."

Habbo Portraits

An example of some Habbo Portraits

On 28 October 2021 it was announced by Olsoweir in the Habbo Avatars Discord server that a new NFT was coming, exclusively for owners of a Habbo Avatar. This new collection, named Habbo Portraits, are randomly generated head-and-torso Habbo images intended for use as profile pictures. Most current NFTs are entirely for use as profile pictures and nothing more, and some collectors had expressed dismay at the Avatars not being a suitable size for this.

The Habbo Portraits will be free to mint (other than the Ethereum 'gas' fee) and can only be minted by the owner of a Habbo Avatar. It was confirmed by Muumiopappa in a Tweet that each Avatar will have the ability to generate one Portrait, for a maximum of 11,600 Habbo Portraits if every owner chooses to mint a Portrait for every Avatar they own.

Habbo Portraits will be tied to the Avatars only in terms of the minting process. Once minted, they are in an entirely different collection that can be traded separately to the Avatars, and they will not look like the Avatar they were minted from - these Portraits are entirely newly generated looks.

An important distinction between Habbo Avatars and Habbo Portraits is that Portraits are not ever intended to have any integration with Habbo itself; they are purely a profile picture project NFT intended as a bonus to the early owners and holders of Avatars.
