As part of the fund raising process from the show, Rewarded.TV will host the sale of CyKo KO NFT card collectible packs on October 1.

The packs start at $59 a pop and were developed in partnership with Theta Labs. Hodler’s of the NFTs will gain access to all season 1 episodes of the series along with other shows and films on Rewarded.TV.

Monthly prizes and a chance to meet the cast of CyKo KO or to cameo in the pilot has also been touted.
