Discounts and Mint Passes by Mercedes-Benz NXT

To reward existing collectors, Mercedes-Benz NXT offers two types of discounts. Collectors of previous core collections, such as Maschine, Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons, and Mercedes-Benz NXT Eternities, will receive a 30% discount. Superdackel holders are eligible for a 15% discount. Additionally, collectors of Maschine and Mercedes-Benz NXT Eternities will receive mint passes, which can be used for one free mint (excluding gas fees) or a reduced price mint. These mint passes will be burned upon use.

And due to regulatory and taxation requirements, the sale is limited to collectors from the EU, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, the UK, the US, and Taiwan.

Mojito’s Technological Backbone

Mojito’s advanced APIs and SDKs are integral to the launch, providing the web3 infrastructure necessary for Mercedes-Benz NXT’s NFT collection. This includes blockchain integration, user-friendly interfaces, and tools for streamlined token creation, smart contract deployment, and automated token distribution. Mojito’s platform also supports tiered discounts using tokengating and integrates with WalletConnect and Metamask for seamless user engagement.

Celebrating Mercedes-Benz’s Design Legacy

The ‘Icon’ series is designed to highlight different eras of Mercedes-Benz’s design evolution. The first era, ‘The Era of Luxury,’ focused on modern car production. ‘The Era of Technology,’ the second era, celebrates cars from the early 2000s to 2017, showcasing the technological advancements and iconic designs of that period. Led by Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener, the Mercedes-Benz design team has crafted this series to narrate the brand’s rich history through digital art.

Future Collections and Innovations

Mercedes-Benz NXT’s inaugural core collection, Maschine, set a high standard by partnering with artist Harm van den Dorpel and the art collective Fingerprints DAO. Following this, they released Eternities for selected customers and Superdackel, paying homage to the classic nodding dog dashboard toy. The ‘Icon’ series will continue to explore different facets of Mercedes-Benz’s legacy, with five more eras planned to unfold.

This collaboration between Mercedes-Benz NXT and Mojito represents a significant step in blending traditional automotive excellence with cutting-edge digital innovation, offering collectors a unique and immersive way to engage with the brand’s storied history.
