For the first few months of 2025, Burn Island remained quiet. The waves rolled in, the sun shone high, and all was still - until a coconut fell from above, landing with a soft thud in the sand. Curious Crane cracked it open, expecting the familiar sweetness inside. But this time, the flavor was richer, deeper - unlike anything before. As the liquid shimmered in the sunlight, a metallic glint caught Crane's eye - Chrome.

Observant Oyster watched as the ground trembled, and a surge of energy erupted skyward, revealing a message in the rising steam: Burn Island's 21st Eruption is here.

Welcome to Eruption 21, where VeeFriends Series 1 NFT holders can secure access to the VeeFriends Chrome and Cocktails Event while connecting with fellow collectors and GaryVee himself. Attendees will also receive one sealed Topps Chrome Notorious Ninja Promo Card Pack (1 card), one sealed 2025 Topps VeeFriends Chrome Pack (4 cards), and one Collect-A-Con Orlando ticket (valid for May 24 only). Join us for this epic burn-to-attend event!

How This Exchange Operates for Eruption 21 BOOK GAMES TOKEN

Participating in an Exchange Eruption is a straightforward process, provided you meet the eligibility criteria. Here's a breakdown of how it works specifically for Burn Island Eruption 21:

1. Eligibility: To take part in Burn Island Eruption 21, you must ensure you meet the eligibility requirements. For this particular eruption, you must hold a VeeFriends Series 1 token. Additionally, you must possess at least three (3) BOOK GAMES tokens.

2. Burning Tokens: Once you've confirmed your eligibility, you can start burning your tokens. Burning involves exchanging your tokens for unique rewards.

3. Confirmation: When you decide to burn tokens, you'll need to take a couple of confirmation steps. First, you must "confirm" in IMX, and then you'll need to "sign" in Metamask or another non-custodial wallet to verify the action. It's crucial not to navigate away from the Burn Island page during this process. You'll receive an on-screen notification once the token burn has been confirmed.

4. Burn Completed: After the burn is confirmed, you'll be redirected to the Burn Island main page. It may take a brief moment (approximately 5–10 seconds) for the receipt of your burn to display.

• You'll need access to the wallet holding your token to complete the burn

• IMX burns work on desktop only

• Please have all tokens being burnt in the same wallet at the time of burn

• For IMX, please ensure you're connecting to the veefriends site with the wallet holding the required tokens.
