A Celebration of Loot & Piracy!
Total loot pillaged, swashbuckled, and pirates blasted!
Ahoy, pirates! Here we be celebratin’ the long history of Captain & Company and our jolly crew who’ve collected mountains o’ gold during our past adventures. Over the past seasons, we’ve seen incredible growth and rewards for those who’ve joined the journey. Players, shipholders, and early adopters alike have been actively rewarded, with their time, effort, and strategy directly translating into real, tangible benefits. Here’s a look back at the amazing journey so far!
Seasonal Performance Snapshots:
Piracy is all about catering to the strongest bidder or sharpest shooter, and historically we’ve distributed rewards based on player performance, staking, and NFT ownership. Note that the below is a historical recounting of events and is neither a promise nor indication of any amount of future results or returns. Here’s how things stacked up season by season:
Season 1:
Total Estimated Rewards: $2,000,000+
Distribution Breakdown:
Players: 65% → $1,625,000
Shipholders: 20% → $500,000
Stakers: 15% → $375,000
C&C Land Ownership Granted: 33%
Season 1 kicked things off with a bang, as players reaped big rewards from their engagement via Blast Gold—whether battling on the frontlines, staking for future gains, or holding ships for the long haul. Piracy was fresh and new, and top players saw huge returns, with some pocketing $50,000, and even many everyday players earning between $250 and $7,500. Plus, players earned substantial portions of C&C’s upcoming land drop, with portions of the claim being issued to each season’s players.
Season 2:
Total Estimated Rewards: $700,000+
Distribution Breakdown:
Players: 60% → $420,000
Shipholders: 20% → $140,000
Stakers: 15% → $105,000
PFP Holders: 5% → $35,000
C&C Land Ownership Granted: 33%
By Season 2, the Blast Gold farm had somewhat cooled, but rewards remained substantial and consistent. With a fairer conversion rate, players were still able to earn impressive amounts—$35 to $7,000 each over the course of the season, depending on how actively they participated. And again, serious ownership of the game’s land mechanics were granted to these players, with another 1/3rd being reserved for them.
Season 3:
Total Allocation: $576,700+
Distribution Breakdown:
Players: 60% → $346,000
Shipholders: 20% → $115,300
Stakers: 15% → $86,500
PFP Holders: 5% → $28,800
C&C Land Ownership Granted: 33%
Season 3 is still continuing, and results on Blast were a mixed bag, with a number of players still capturing major treasure hauls but fewer wins for the minnows. Currently, in Season 3, C&C has moved to Abstract to participate in their XP drop program, which thus far has had an indeterminate but promising yield. And, ultimately, the final tranche of the first set of lands was reserved for the Season 3 / early Abstract players, with 1/3rd being set aside.

C&C NFT Collection: Performance Metrics
Asset owners have had a rollercoaster of a ride since mint, with some very inexpensive early prices giving way to a serious pump during early Blast seasons, and eventually settling into a more approachable price point. Skellies and Clockwork Brig Ships have been the centerpieces to date, and some historical tidbits are below:
Key Performance Data - Skellies NFT Collection
Average Mint Price: 0.045 ETH (April 12, 2024)
All-Time High Floor Price: 0.255 ETH (May 27)
Current Floor Price: ~0.017 ETH
Total Volume Traded: 135+ ETH
Holders: 373 (15% Unique Owners)
Key Performance Data - Clockwork Brig Ships
Average Crafting Fee: 0.067 ETH
All-Time High Floor Price: 0.507 ETH (May 20)
Current Floor Price: ~0.05 ETH
Total Volume Traded: 856+ ETH
Holders: 831 (27% Unique Owners)
Early adopters and strategic holders have seen substantial benefits, with many of both traders & holders consistently finding ways to collect rewards well in excess of original acquisition price.
Bottom line? Holders have received airdrops, seen substantial trading volumes, and had access to thousands of whitelist spots since our initial launch. A treasure trove of rewards!
