This token is a critical artwork / exposure - or whatever you would want to call - which exposes a bad design choice made in the past, between Feb'20-Jun'20 by Rarible developers. We - creators and collectors - minted many unlockable NFTs on this platform, thinking that we provided a special content exclusive for our collectors. We put hidden messages, links, or whatever, that could be unlocked "only" by the collector of the token.

Apparently, this wasn't the case of all. Rarible made a horrible design choice for a time period (until they change the implementation), by putting "secret unlockable" content in the "public token metadata", which can be actually seen by anyone who queries the metadata of the token id on the smart contract. It just takes a few clicks on Etherscan to find.

I fetched the metadata of all tokens minted on Rarible ERC721 collections (there are 2 of them I found), and put them in a text file, which is accessible from the QR code seen on this NFT image, or from the link below:

With this file, I am exposing all the unlockable content I could find from Rarible smart contracts. I didn't do any hacks/steals to obtain this information. They were already open for public all this time! Rarible fooled us. They did this incredibly stupid mistake and didn't take action for months, and stayed silent. I hope this will be a good lesson for all of us.
