Was there ever a time when you were a kid watching Sylvester and Tweety and wishing for a digital version to keep in your wallet? Well, Warner Bros. hopes to use NFTs on Nifty’s to capitalize on the storytelling abilities of the Looney Tunes IP. So, Tweety might actually end up in your “crypto” wallet.
The ultimate Looney Tunes fan community, Looney Tunes: What’s Up Block, is being launched by NFT platform Nifty’s and Warner Brothers.
Chirpy yellow canary, Tweety, who turns 80 this year, is the first Looney Tunes character to be featured. Per the announcement, 10,000 Tweety Avatars, each costing $80, will be available (others, including Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian, will follow).
The pre-sale for Tweety avatars begins on June 20, followed by the public sale on June 21.
Following Space Jam: A New Legacy and The Matrix last year, Looney Tunes is the third Warner Bros. IP to be recreated as NFTs.
To be qualified for the presale, collectors must have any rare, epic, or legendary Tweety Space Jam NFT or any Monstars NFT in their wallet on June 15, when the presale snapshot is taken.
Warner Bros. has produced a fresh storyline. NFT collectors will earn incentives such as virtual meet-and-greets, never-before-seen content, special access and deals to Looney Tunes items and experiences, new NFT drops, and more.

Not only can you add this Tweety avatar to your NFT collection, but you can also add a variety of additional expressions, apparel, and accessories.
The Palm Network will be used to mint the avatars. The Tweety avatars are available for purchase in both fiat currency (credit or debit card) and cryptocurrency (DAI).
For community events, prizes, customer service resolutions, and promotional purposes, Warner Bros. will withhold roughly 3% of each character’s NFTs from the initial sale.
