When is Janky coming to Fortnite and what will be the price of the skin?

Popular leaker ShinaBR posted earlier today that a Janky skin might be coming to the game on September 17. The leak apparently happened when one of Janky's Discord admins gave away the news.

The skin may be priced at 1200-1500 V-bucks. Players can purchase the skin and pair it with Guggimon in the matches as both are mostly seen together on their social media handles.

For the uninitiated, Janky is a popular NFT on the web. Fortnite players usually deal with unique art, and NFTs are one of the most popular ways to purchase an art piece in 2021.


What is an NFT ?

NFT stands for Non-fungible Tokens. 'Non-fungible' stands for anything unique and unreplaceable. This is a kind of crypto-currency where owners of the NFTs do not trade it with other NFTs as no two pieces of art can be the same. Instead, there is real money involved in buying and selling the NFTs.

The definition of art in this context is very varied. From the most random video on the internet to the first tweet made by a celebrity, anything can be an NFT. Furthermore, in this trade, anything can sell.

There are many cons of a trade of this kind, but that is not stopping people from spending millions of dollars on pictures of cats and GIFs of Gucci Ghost.

Janky is one of those NFT sites that sells unique art inspired by a character that resembles a cat. This character also has an accomplice called Guggimon, an animated character and a part of the Chapter 2 Season 7 Battle Pass.

They are both the intellectual property of Superplastic, the brand that creates more characters like these and subsequently NFTs based on these characters.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 should begin tomorrow after the end of the 'Operation Skyfire' live event.
