What are NFTs?
- NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets that are secured and contained on the blockchain. The blockchain verifies ownership, provenance, and transaction history.
What is Blockchain?
- Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or nearly impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.
What is a “wallet”?
- Your crypto wallet is where you can view your cryptocurrency assets and transactions, all in one place. It’s also where you confirm any transactions in process. Different wallets have different features. For example, some allow you to view NFTs from a smartphone. Popular wallets include Coinbase Wallet and Metamask.
What is “minting”?
- NFTs are created through a process called minting. On the Ethereum network, a command is run that creates the NFT as an immutable record, providing it with a unique hash that contains all of the metadata. The metadata stores key contextual information about your NFT, like its current ownership and transaction history. Sites including opensea.io and etherscan.io allow you to view your NFT collection and NFTs in other collections.
What is ‘Gas’ or minting fees?
- The blockchain depends on processing power provided by a decentralized network of computers. Minting fees, often called “gas fees” are what the members of this network earn in return for the processing power they provide. Gas fees can fluctuate according to the amount of traffic on the blockchain at any given moment but cannot be avoided. To limit wide fluctuations and avoid high fees for our fans, we have included a flat-fee of $75 into the total cost of each NFT.
What makes an NFT different from other kinds of digital art?
- When you collect an NFT, your artwork has a public record on the blockchain it was created on. This makes provenance public and verifiable and permits for instantaneous transactions on the secondary market.
How can I pay for my NFTs?
- NFTs can be bought with a credit card, just like any other online purchase. They can also be purchased with cryptocurrencies ETH, BTC, and USDC via Coinbase Commerce at checkout.
How can I get ETH (Ether)?
- First, you must purchase Ethereum (ETH) through an online exchange. We recommend using Coinbase. Once you have purchased ETH, you will need to have it in your coinbase.com wallet in order to buy an NFT token.
- Please note there are limits on the amounts of ETH you can buy and sell based on your account and the platform you’re using to purchase ETH. There are also time delays from when you buy your ETH to when you can transfer it to your wallet to make NFT purchases. Most platforms require you to hold the money in your wallet before you can transfer it to use for purchases.
How Can I Protect my NFTs?
- Your digital wallet will come with a 12-24 word ‘seed phrase’ that acts as the password to your wallet. Never, ever share this seed phrase with anyone. We also recommend keeping a written, physical copy of your seed phrase for access offline. If another person gains access to your seed phrase they can take control of your wallet and everything it contains.
Where is my NFT collection?
- You can view your NFTs directly in your wallet, either on a smartphone or desktop computer.
- You may use digital marketplaces that aggregate digital collectibles and NFTs. Popular examples include opensea.io and etherscan.io.
How Long Until I Receive my NFT?
- Within 24 hours of successfully completing your transaction, you will receive an email with instructions on how to claim your NFT. The link provided in the email will take you to a page where you will enter the email address used at checkout and your public Ethereum wallet address. Note, this is not the address to your Coinbase retail account, rather your Ethereum wallet (i.e.: Metamask or Coinbase Wallet).
- Once that information is submitted, the command to mint the NFT will be sent to the blockchain. Depending on the amount of pending transactions on the blockchain, it can take up to 24 hours for the NFT to land in your wallet. This is normal; thank you for being patient!
What is the Primary Market?
- Primary Market or Primary Sales are the first time an NFT is sold. This can either be a purchase from the NFT creator or an NFT that is minted on purchase.
What is the Secondary Market?
- “Secondary market” refers to all NFT sales that occur after the initial NFT purchase. The most popular secondary marketplace to buy NFTs include OpenSea.io.
What are you doing about the environmental impact of your NFT collection?
- We have partnered with a carbon footprint tracking company to track our carbon impact, with a goal to be 100% climate neutral for all NFT projects launched in 2022 and going forward.
Can NFTs be returned and buyers refunded after purchasing?
- NFT sales are final and returns or refunds will not be offered after purchase. Those interested in purchasing from the Goose Island Barrel House Collection should review our terms and conditions at ab-inbev.com/nftterms.
