New to NFTs and/or Polygon NFTs

What is an NFT?

NFTs are digital assets secured by cryptography and stored on the blockchain. NFT stands for non-fungible token, which means that each token is unique and distinguishable. In comparison, Bitcoin would be an example of a fungible token. Both are secured and stored on the blockchain, but there is no difference from one Bitcoin to another. Because of the ability for each token to hold unique information, NFTs can provide digital ownership for almost any asset. While most people associate NFTs with jpegs, NFTs also contain metadata (encoded information). This makes it possible for NFTs to be a secure digital form of anything from works of art and music, to concert tickets, games, avatars, metaverse lands, contracts, mortgages, etc. The California DMV is even currently testing issuing Car titles as NFTs!

How do I buy an NFT?

How do I buy an NFT?

NFTs can be minted from the creator's website (only use official links) or purchased from a marketplace such as Opensea, Magic Eden, One Planet, or NFTKEY. They are usually purchased with cryptocurrency, so the first step is to create a wallet. There are many wallets to choose from, but Metamask is the most common. (Other options include Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Atomic Wallet, etc.) You can set up a Metamask wallet here https://metamask.io Be sure to WRITE DOWN your seed phrase (It is usually 12 random words) and keep it in a SAFE place. NEVER store your seed phrase digitally. Do NOT store it on your computer, phone, screenshot, etc. and NEVER share your seed phrase with ANYONE! Your seed phrase is your only way to recover your wallet if you ever lose your password or need to install your wallet to a new computer.

Now that you have a wallet you'll need to add cryptocurrency to your wallet to purchase NFTs. There are purchase options through Metamask, but most use exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance (or Binance.us for US users), or Kraken. If using an exchange make sure you are using the correct network, and copy/paste your wallet address when transferring funds to ensure the funds are sent correctly. Any funds sent to an incorrect address will likely be lost.

How do I add the Polygon Network to my Metamask?

THE MATIC GREYS

Why are there so many creator-owned Greys? (owned by Skribbl-Grey on Opensea, or Matic Greys
Deployer on Polygonscan)

When we launched we decided to mint all 7,747 Greys from our erc-721 contract and list them directly on Opensea. We wanted to showcase the art and allow early supporters to choose the Greys that they connected with as opposed to a random mint. This also allowed us to create a scavenger hunt for "complete pop culture outfits" within our collection on Opensea that rarity trackers wouldn't pick up on.

What utilities/benefits do I receive from owning a Grey?

Owning a Matic Grey not only provides you with a one-of-a-kind work of art, but also provides a multitude of gaming and metaverse utilities including interoperable 3D avatars from Worlds Beyond, access to exclusive airdrops and mints of in-game assets, builds, wearables, etc. Owning a Grey provides access to community poker tournaments through our partner Ape In Poker, and will also provide access to the members only area of The Mothership in TCG World for exclusive games, prizes, and votes on charitable donations.

What is the charitable aspect to The Matic Greys collection?

We did our first charitable donation decided by community vote at 50% sold. We donated 1 ETH to St. Jude on-chain via The Giving Block. Once the collection reaches 100% sold, 25% of royalties will be donated on-chain and decided by community vote. 1 Grey = 1 vote.

How can I view my Grey in Metamask?

To view your Grey in Metamask, first you must add our contract address/info as a custom token on the Polygon Mainnet. (Will not work if your Metamask is not on the Polygon Mainnet) Below is the information to add:

Contract Address: 0x88AAa30Ba2B1622Ef06Dcd53bafEc
4208C6dC095
Ticker/Symbol: TMG
Decimal: 0
ID: The # of your specific Grey/Greys

THE BABY GREYS

Why am I getting a json error when minting?

Our dapp can sometimes under estimate gas (especially on mobile). To ensure a smooth mint, please edit your gas and use the highest recommended setting on Metamask. (The difference in gas is minimal and total gas is still usually under 1 cent)

When will The Baby Greys be revealed?

The Baby Greys will be revealed at 100% sold. We structured it this way to protect the 1 of 1 hidden somewhere in the collection. At reveal we will place a $10,000 offer on the 1 of 1 Baby Grey through Opensea!

What utilities/benefits do I receive by owning a Baby Grey?

Owning a Baby Grey provides utilities across charity, the metaverse, and IRL! 25% of all sales and royalties from The Baby Greys are donated on-chain via The Giving Block to The Ronald McDonald House. Owning a Baby Grey also provides you with an in-game Baby Grey companion, as well as access to discounts and exclusive runs on merch and our upcoming designer art toys. Plus a chance to win $10,000!

THE CUSTOM GREYS

How do I get a Custom Grey?

The only way to get a Custom Grey of your own design is to become a Grey Whale by owning 20 or more Greys. Once you hodl 20 Greys you can reach out to us through our Discord, Telegram, or Twitter and we can begin the process!

What is the process for creating my own Custom Grey?

Once you contact us, we will verify your 20 Greys and work with you throughout the process from idea generation, to several critiques and reviews along the way from sketch to final product. Once the process is complete we will add the Custom to our contract, bring it live on the blockchain, and airdrop it to you!

Are there any restrictions on what a Custom can be?

The only restrictions on Customs are that it can't be an idea that has already been chosen previously, nothing profane or inappropriate, no hot button issues, and no blatant trademark/copyright issues. Other than that your Custom can be anything you'd like it to be!

What will be the total supply of Custom Greys?

The total supply is still to be determined, but there can be a max of only 387 since 20 Greys is needed per Custom. Once The Matic Greys collection is 100% sold, we will give a short notice to the cut-off period for Custom requests and once all are completed the collection will be complete and no new customs will be added.

What utilities/benefits do I receive for owning a Custom Grey?

The customs are a way for us to give back and say thank you to our biggest supporters! Custom Grey
owners will receive rewards via a percentage (TBD) of our combined metaverse profits!
