Maybe you’d like to get Lost in Space with a 3DA Will Robinson – danger, Will Robinson, you’re about to sell out! Ahhh, couldn’t resist… Stand with Kong, gazing upon his kingdom – just don’t make eye contact! Or experience a roaring Godzilla performing a spiked-tale twist? Now that is most impressive.
For Pacific Rim Uprising fans the 2DA Pose NFTs for Saber Athena, Guardian Bravo, Valor Omega and Titan Redeemer are all pretty cool! While Pacific Rim: The Black aficionados get the choice of several Apex Massacre forms in menacing 3D.
And of course, without mentioning our very own vFlects.
What happens next? More value for collectors…
On August 23rd all remaining first-gens will be permanently removed. This is a good thing for collectors, as it will add to the rarity value of their purchase.
Terra Virtua move away from the Ethereum platform and on to Polygon, which will enable us to mint greener NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Minting an NFT on Ethereum used the same amount of energy required to publish 83 paperback books. On Polygon, it will be the equivalent of sending just two emails!
Leaner and greener NFTs
The carbon footprint of NFTs has been impacting the reputation of the industry and, as such, Terra Virtua has been looking for a new, energy efficient blockchain solution to produce its digital assets. The transition to Polygon will see the re-minting of all unsold Ethereum based collectibles, guaranteeing that all newly minted items will require only minimal energy usage.
By reducing the energy used to create a single NFT by 99.9%. Previously, minting an NFT on Ethereum used the same amount of energy required to publish 83 paperback books. Moving forwards for Terra Virtua, the energy consumed will be the equivalent of sending just two emails.
Terra Virtua CTO and co-founder, Jawad Ashraf commented, “The move to Polygon is a significant step for us as a business. Our mission is to revolutionise how audiences engage with NFTs and make them accessible to everyone, but we believe that the environment shouldn’t have to pay the price for this new game-changing technology.
By harnessing the power of this new blockchain, we can ensure that our NFTs are limiting their impact. We want to make sure that digital assets have a future and a platform to live and thrive on that all starts from a more sustainable blockchain.”
