Reddit launched NFT avatars for its users in July, marking the platform's entry into the NFT market. Nearly two months later, Reddit has just revealed yet another NFT project. The social media site will airdrop free NFTs to some of its subscribers this time.
The Reddit crew emphasized in an official article that only elite users with high karma levels will receive NFTs. Karma is a point system inside the Reddit community that individuals can build up by posting and interacting with other users.

Aww Friends, Drip Squad, Meme Team, and The Singularity are the four collectible avatar categories from which those who are chosen can select. These NFTs will shortly be distributed and are based on the Polygon blockchain.
