NFTizing a card is a multi-step process:
Prepare the card:
This step converts the card attributes to a format that fits in Solana's NFT metadata
standards, including the generation of a single image representing the card.
Upload metadata to an off-chain network:
both the image and the card metadata are uploaded to Irys,
an online, off-chain storage provider that supports the Solana blockchain.
Minting: deploy the card in the blockchain, bind the metadata to it and
verify it by our collection authority to make it compatible with major NFT
marketplaces.
Hand it to your own NFT holdings account in our system wallet.
Costs and benefits
The whole process implies costs:
Card conversion:
this cost depends on a handful of factors, all of them summarized in the card quality.
Depending on the quality ratio, the conversion cost can go from $2 to around $10 USD.
If you're a Negapato holder and you're registered in our
Negastaking program,
you get a discount on this price, and you can pay it with GPs.
Deployment: All the steps are done using Solana NFT tools, and the average cost is around $5 USD, payable in SOL.
But, in return, you get:
No royalties paid to us. The NFT can be resold without us getting a single penny.
Clone resistant NFTs. There are several security points in our NFTs to make them resistant to counterfeiting,
including: piggy bank addresses derived programmatically and governed by the
VKCT Core program and
a validation system that checks NFT attributes against actual card data through an internal algorithm.
The card quality ratio is greatly increased, making it stand above the rest.
You set a unique name and description to it.
A piggy bank is attached to it, and select fungible tokens are airdropped after minting.
This turns the NFT into a purse of sorts, and you can add that leverage to the
overall value when selling it, because the piggy bank is owned by the card,
and who owns the card, owns the piggy bank.
A bunch of insurance clips are pinned to the card,
so if you play with it against other players, you don't lose it.
The NFT is fully compatible with major NFT marketplaces on Solana,
so, you can take it out of the game and sell it anywhere, anytime!
