The Lottery And Auction For Gen 0 Node NFTs Are Now Open!

If you win a Node NFT through the lottery, your STACK will be automatically sent to the payment address and you will receive the Gen0 Node NFT in your wallet.

If you don’t win a Node NFT, you can choose to remain staked and mint Node NFTs of higher generations with a rebate of 20%. You can also decide to unstake and do with your STACK tokens as you wish.

We want to stress that you don’t lose your STACK tokens if you don’t win in the Lottery. During the lottery, you can’t unstake your STACK.

In the Auction, there will be an epic bid battle for the highly coveted Genesis Node NFTs! Simply make sure you place the highest bid to win one of the 20 Node NFTs distributed through the Auction.

The Auction will be closed at a random date and time within two weeks; Monday the 21st of March. This gives everyone the opportunity to stake their STACK for the Lottery if they did not win in the Auction.

The Lottery will end at a random time and date after the Auction is finished.

We want to stress that you don’t lose your STACK tokens if you don’t win in the Auction.

Here you need to connect your Metamask wallet, make sure you are on Polygon!

Now that your Metamask is connected it is time to buy Tickets. The more tickets you buy by staking your STACK the higher your chance to win a Gen0 Node NFT.

Click the ‘Buy Ticket’ button. Remember, you don’t lose your STACK if you don’t win. You can use the tickets to mint higher generation Node NFTs at a rebate of 20% or simply return the tokens to your wallet.

Now a Metamask window will appear. Click on ‘Approve’. After this is done a Metamask window asking for permission to send your STACK for a ticket will pop up. Click on ‘Confirm’ to buy your Ticket(s).

After the Lottery is completed you need to click on the ‘Tickets’ section. Here you have three options:

3. Transfer Tickets: For this example, a ticket is worth 35,000 STACK tokens. You can select how many tickets you want to exchange for Node NFTs with a 20% rebate. This results in $160 worth of STACK per Node NFT. If a ticket of 35,000 STACK is worth $3k in STACK you will be able to mint 18 Node NFTs.

There is a mint limit of 50 per transaction. So it will work if you exchange 2 tickets for 36 Node NFTs, but if you exchange 3 tickets, 50 Node NFTs will be minted but what is left in STACK will be sent to your wallet.

So if you have 10 tickets and want to exchange all of them for Node NFTs, make sure you exchange 2 tickets at a time. Make sure to do these calculations with the STACK price at this time.

To get started, bridge your STACK tokens over to the Polygon network or buy STACK through DFYN on the Polygon chain.

Here you need to connect your Metamask wallet, make sure you are on Polygon!
