⚾️ MLB ICON Buyback Update ⚾
We're pushing the launch one more day. We've been running into issues with GitHub while deploying the new features, and we'd rather get it right than rush it out.
Here's what we're building in, and why it's worth the wait:
👋 Bonus credits for returning collectors
If you've been away from Candy for a while, this one's for you. Returning collectors will have an opportunity to earn bonus Candy Credits based on their participation, so you can jump back into drops and auctions.
🦇 Bonus credits for Bat Cowl holders
Our Bat Cowl community is one of the most dedicated groups on Candy, and that deserves recognition. Bat Cowl holders will have an opportunity to earn bonus Candy Credits on the MLB ICONs they sell back. Credits are limited, so don't sleep on it.
🏆 A leaderboard built for the Buyback
We're making sure the Top 50 leaderboard is fully up to date and tracks Buyback sales, so every ICON you sell back counts toward your rank and vault prizes.
The core program isn't changing: $0.50 in Candy Credits per 2026 ICON, $0.25 per legacy ICON, and prizes from the Candy vault for the Top 50.
What's next:
• Tomorrow morning: full details on every new feature
• Tomorrow afternoon: target launch, with the exact time confirmed in the morning
Thanks for your patience. We know you're ready to go, and so are we. More soon.
The Candy Team 🫡
