Each new member of the Ambassador Program will receive a custom Empire State Building NFT upon signup.
Additionally, members will receive additional custom NFTs for each tier they achieve. These collectibles are developed and distributed in partnership with Uptop and feature the “World’s Most Famous Building” against an Art Deco backdrop in the tier-specific metallic tone.
The exclusive NFTs serve as a digital keepsake and a key to unlock personalized rewards.
The collectibles live on the blockchain in “a no-hassle, easy-to-use wallet,” the website said.
Visitors who join the Ambassador Program and have purchased tickets on or after February 1 will automatically receive points and the new member NFT for their last purchase retroactively.
Points and status acquired remain until redemptions and do not expire.

Meanwhile, Pandora has seen its fully diluted valuation jump to over $320 million within a week of deployment, the report shared with Cryptonews said.
Furthermore, as of February 13, Pandora’s total trading volume of $190 million comprises transactions on both decentralized exchanges (DEXes) for ER-C20 and NFT marketplaces for ERC-721.
“Differentiating between the volume of DEX and NFT trades poses a challenge,” it stated. That said, the majority of ERC-404 transactions are DEX trades.
Additionally, of the 5,681 NFTs, 50% are held by wallets that have retained their tokens since the initial purchase without selling – a “quite impressive” rate for a new project.
Meanwhile, numerous projects have been released utilizing the new ERC404 “standard” since Pandora’s launch. “This trend indicates the industry and market participants have favorably received the concept of a native liquidity for hybrid token standards.”
Nansen shared a table highlighting projects released after Pandora’s launch on February 2. Three have traded more than 10,000 ETH in volume since their launches, and another 12 projects have traded over 1,000 ETH.
