Sollamas Mint Goes South
The Sollamas NFTs launched yesterday, able a accumulating of 10,000 abnormally generated, cute, and collectible llamas with affidavit of buying stored on the Solana blockchain.
However, the NFT excellent did not go smoothly, encountering several above issues that accept compromised the project’s integrity. As the excellent started, letters came in from users adage that they were accepting added llamas than they had paid for. In contrast, others appear not accepting a llama, admitting battery out 4 SOL ($280) to excellent one. Additionally, it appears that some bodies overpaid for their llamas and that the 10,000 cap was breached, with added llamas minted than the activity originally promised.
To adjust the issues with the drop, the Sollamas development aggregation appears to be “killing” llamas from the aboriginal bearing by alteration the NFTs account to that of a gravestone.
The Sollamas aggregation acquaint to Twitter able that anybody who minted a first-generation llama would accept addition from the additional generation.

Sollamas is not the aboriginal NFT activity deployed on Solana to face issues. Last weekend, addition NFT avatar project, Degenerate Ape Academy, launched to a agnate akin of hype. When minting started, abounding could not admission the website due to the arduous cardinal of bodies aggravating to defended an ape. Some of those who could excellent had their affairs candy afterwards all the NFTs were sold, advantageous SOL and not accepting anything.

However, ablution NFTs on Solana is not as able-bodied accustomed as on Ethereum. As the advertising for NFTs on Solana builds, developers will charge to booty affliction not to echo the aforementioned mistakes as Sollamas and Degenerate Ape Academy.
