The NFT card packs will be purchasable through 'ThetaDrop,' an online low-cost NFT platform. There will be 14 collectible cards available, each of which is tied to a participant in the show. In addition to being rare collectible trading NFTs, there will be a variety of rewards associated with the tokens based on the performance of each contestant on the talent show.
