The Quantum Ouroboros is independent of time and space, maintaining providence through its agnostic connection to the material plane. Immutable, unbroken, and eternal, the two holy dragons are forever linked in acts of creation and destruction. - ElfJTrul
The Quantum Ouroboros is a special Beast released separately from the other seven in the Season 1 collection. While the others were released from the Gate to the Seventh Realm unlocking event, The Quantum Ouroboros was reserved for a special auction hosted on famed Christie's Arthouse as part of their Cartography of The Mind curated NFT sale. A total of $1,569,960 USD was raised in total from all the NFTs sold under this event, and were donated to Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) which specializes in the research and advocacy of psychedelic usage for the treatment of mental health.
Auction
The official Christie's auction page for the Quantum Ouroboros was estimated by curators to have a valuation of $35,000 USD prior to the auction's opening. Auctions held on Christie's platform are held in USD, contrary to the [The Gate to the Seventh Realm#Implementation|Gate to the Seventh Realm]] auctions for other Beasts which were denominated in ETH. Many commenters in the Discord noted that the valuation given by Christie's curators when converted to ETH would make it the cheapest of all other Beasts auction in Season 1.
Despite the estimated value given by Christie's curators, the auction received a total of 23 bids before closing at $138,600 USD by a bid from realizeorigin. The auction opened on 21 June 2022 and ran for 7 days, ending on 28 June 2022, unlike other Beast auctions which ran for just 24 hours (with extensions for bids placed within the final 15 minutes of an auction ending).
