Problems Around Project: MekaVerse saw several delays in revealing the images, which led to the project losing some of its momentum. The company announced it would reveal images on Oct. 10 or 11 and then postponed to Oct 12. Another postponement saw images being officially revealed on Oct. 13.

A new controversy surrounding the project is concerning the release of meta data to some of the development team, according to Decrypt.

A person from Minded Studio bought one of the rarest Mekas prior to the reveal at the average floor price. Minded Studios had access to the meta data, but all parties involved claim the data was not available at the time of the purchase.

MekaVerse has also been criticized for its NFTs lacking visual randomness, with some having only slight color swaps and small details differentiating them.

“It was not easy to launch a project of this size! That is why we are working to have more people on our team, and we are looking for competent people to help us carry out our project!” the company said in a twitter thread.

What’s Next: MekaVerse has offered up details of several airdrops coming to people who hold the NFTs.

This includes Meka Swords, the first airdrop coming from the team to anyone who owns a MekaVerrse Meka. The second announced airdrop will be a Meka Bot, according to the company.
