AMBUSH® x Bright Moments Tokyo

Written By Legitimate

Bright Moments Tokyo has finally wrapped up, and in its tracks, the broader web3 community has discovered the gem that is the Japanese Web3 Community. And amongst it all was one of the most highly anticipated drops of the year: the AMBUSH® and Bright Moments collaboration.3

If you haven’t already, check out our press release about the collaboration. When it comes to cultural movements, there are no two other brands that are more at the forefront of culture, creativity, and technology than AMBUSH® and Bright Moments. We were honored to support and power the phygital component of this drop.

The feedback and community response was truly phenomenal; here are some snippets and recaps:

One thing was clear. For a collaboration of this scale, the expectations were high. And we had to deliver a truly seamless experience for our customers.

The Promise

At Legitimate, our highest priority is customer experience. We believe that the future of Web3 and NFTs is that customers don’t have to even think about web3 and NFTs at all. Our end-to-end phygital experience is designed from the ground up to make it as easy as possible for anybody to tap into physical products with next generation digital capabilities. No need to think about gas, because we cover gas fees for all customers. No need to worry about submitting transactions or re-submitting failed transactions. That’s covered.

Buy. Tap. Unlock. It should be as simple as that.

The Problem

Enter $PEPE. A rocketship of a memecoin. Without going into the details, $PEPE skyrocketed in monetary value and word-of-mouth popularity over the last week. With new highs and lows, it completely took over the dialogue and conversations around web3. But that’s not the only thing it dominated. It also completely dominated the bandwidth and throughput of the Ethereum network itself. Any chance of submitting transactions onto the Ethereum blockchain at reasonable gas prices was gone out the window.

As we headed into the Bright Moments launch, we knew one thing was for certain. Gas prices were going to fluctuate wildly, and the chances of transactions failing were really really high. On opening day of Bright Moments Tokyo, Ethereum gas prices were hovering at an average of 175 gwei. Compared to a usual average of well under 50gwei, this was 3-4x what is usually considered acceptable.

How’d We Do?

In the midst of one of the craziest meme coin runs of the year, Legitimate delivered on our promise of making NFTs accessible to all. All of our “gasless” transactions were submitted on behalf of our customers without a single hiccup.

What does this mean under the hood?

  • 0 failed transactions
  • Almost all transactions processed in under 18 seconds
  • Fastest transaction time was 12 seconds, slowest was 25 seconds on Ethereum Mainnet

What did our customers experience?

Every single customer that purchased an AMBUSH x Bright Moments T-Shirt was able to pickup their T-shirt at AMBUSH WORKSHOP 2 inside Shibuya Parco seamlessly. They were able to scan the LGT Tag (NFC) integrated in the T-Shirt to unlock a unique NFT that represented the authenticity and ownership of the product itself. There was no need to worry about submitting transactions or gas fees.

It truly was as simple as:

Buy. Tap. Unlock.

A Look Ahead.

Playing the supporting role in this collaboration between two of the most monumental brands in fashion and web3 was an absolute honor. But it doesn’t stop here. We’re hard at work to continue to deliver value to our customers and partners. We want to give a huge shoutout and thank you to the Verbal, Yoon, and the AMBUSH team, as well as the entire Bright Moments team for their cooperation and support. And lastly, thank you to all of the customers who bought in and supported this drop! For those of you reading, keep an eye out because something big is coming.

All you need to do is tap in.

As a heads up, keep your eyes peeled for a recap of our latest drop and collaboration with OP Sumo Club.
