Reddit’s Collectible Avatars
Reddit’s Collectible Avatars have become a massive success with over 7 million users owning at least one collectible avatar and creators earning over 1 million dollars. The collectible avatars program was launched in July 2022 and has since then been a hit. This week, Reddit announced the release of the third generation of collectible avatars, and in the latest episode of the Building Reddit podcast, the brilliant minds behind the project talk about the creation, design, and implementation of this awesome project.

Reddit’s Massive Collectible Avatar Success
Collectible Avatars is an expansion of Reddit’s existing Avatar Builder, which has been supercharged and connected to a decentralized blockchain network. Reddit rallied creators from around the platform to design unique and collectible avatars that could be purchased or claimed by users. Each avatar is backed by the blockchain, making it a unique digital asset.
Users can use the collectible avatars as their avatars on the site or mix and match pieces from different avatars to create something even more original. The first creator-made collection sold out quickly, and Reddit continued to drop new collections for holidays and events.
Insights from Creators
In the latest episode of Building Reddit, the creators of the collectible avatars explain how the program has grown and scaled to support millions of avatars. They also discuss how Reddit worked with both individual artists and the NFL to produce each avatar. The episode provides an insight into the making of one of the most successful programs on the platform.
With the release of the third generation of collectible avatars, users are excited to see what new designs and unique features the avatars will have. The collectible avatars program has become an integral part of the Reddit experience, providing a new way for users to express themselves and connect with others on the platform.
