FAQ's

Will artists be paid royalties?

Yes, via the NFT it is possible to pay artist royalty fees. The combination between machine vision and blockchain technology allows artists and collectors to proof the authenticity of an artwork.

What are NFTs?

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are used by Aslanback as digital twins to represent physical assets such as a limited edition sweaters, tshirts, artworks or others assets in the digital world.

In this context, a digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object that is stored on a blockchain, providing a secure and immutable record of the asset's ownership, provenance, and history. By using an NFT to represent the digital twin, the owner of the physical asset can prove that they are the rightful owner and that the digital twin is an authentic representation of the asset.

Opensea is one of the most popular marketplaces for buying and selling NFTs.

In this article on Opensea (Finzer 2020) you can find out more about NFTs:

Why do we use Blockchain?

We use blockchain as a technology to prove the provenance, ownership and immutability of your licensed Natur Canvas products, while the technology also allows our consumers to track any transfers of ownership in the blockchain.

What is a wallet in Web3 and which one should I use?

A wallet stores the public and private keys necessary to buy/sell/transfer all your digital assets, be it cryptocurrencies or NFTs. There are two main types of wallets—software based “hot wallets” and physical “cold wallets.” There are a variety of differences between hot wallets and cold wallets, but the main difference is that hot wallets are connected to the internet, while cold wallets are kept offline.Wallets are created and secured with a private seed phrase, and function similar to a browser extension (e.g. on Chrome, Firefox, Brave) that allows you to access DApps (decentralized applications) and perform crypto or NFT transactions. MetaMask is the most popular wallet currently in use in the NFT space.

MetaMask is the most popular digital wallet in the NFT space. MetaMask is a browser extension (available in Chrome, Firefox and Brave) that is used to store, send, and receive Ethereum and ERC20 tokens. In addition, Metamask allows users to transact with websites (decentralized applications).

How do I get crypto to purchase NFTs?

There are many ways to top up your wallet with ETH (the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain) to buy your first NFT.

The most common is to use cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase or Binance. There are different options but most of them allow you to exchange your fiat (in most international currencies) for cryptocurrency via card or wire transfer, which you can then transfer to your wallet.

Another method is to use the apps directly on the wallet which directs you to an integrated third-party exchange rail (i.e. MoonPay on MetaMask), which you can buy crypto using fiat/credit card directly into your wallet.

One more method is to use the exchange integrated on the marketplaces (i.e. Opensea or Rarible). Both have the option to use a credit card to make direct exchanges into crypto. When you are connected to the site with your wallet, click on your profile and there will be a button to add funds. When you finish, funds will be visible in your wallet. Regardless of method, the best way is to follow the steps according to each exchange or platform prepared for their users.
