Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why did we create the Corona Generation NFT collection? 98% of NFT projects fail. I wanted to give it a try anyway. There are people who bought and sold digital monkeys for hundreds and thousands of dollars - and at the same time others take screenshots of the same image and use it as their profile picture. Lots of people got rich while others lost money in scams.

There are many different opinions about NFTs out there. For me, all this doesn’t matter, because the NFT hype has inspired me and other artists to try something new.

Here is why I think this is fascinating:
➤ I always say a picture says a thousand words. And 10.000 pictures can do even more! They can tell entire stories.
➤ NFTs encourage artists to use technology to create art (two things I’m passionate about)! A program can assemble the artwork with the help of multiple pieces (layers). Every time I run the program, the art is different and it surprises me, makes me smile and inspires me for future art projects.
➤ The NFT hype has encouraged many hobby artists to create (again) and showcase their art. ✍

Why should I buy a Corona Generation NFT and not something else?

Good question! The answer is simple! 1) Corona Generation Member NFTs are the first NFT that not only have unique images, but also tell a unique story! 2) All funds* generated from Minting will be donated to a Corona Relief fund - Most other NFTs only donate up to 5-20% (if any).
What does it cost to mint a member?

Minting will cost 32 MATIC per member. After the reveal event, the price will increase to 64 MATIC. The first 500 members are free. Make sure you grab one!
What if I don't own any Cryptocurrency?

After installing Metamask, you can follow the instructions in our "How to mint section" to buy MATIC and add it to your wallet.
How much will be donated?

We will donate all funds generated from minting to a Covid Relief fund (see Roadmap). Roughtly 40-50% will be "donated" to the german government (@Finanzminister, please simplify the process to create a foundation).
What are the rights when I own a member of the Corona Generation?

The owner gets the rights to use the members in commercial work such as creating stories, making merchandise, and creating physical artwork which can be used personally or sold and profited from. The owner is defined as the current owner as indicated by the blockchain.
How to mint a member?

Members can be minted as long as there is still supply available. After all members have been minted, you can always buy members on OpenSea. Minting is really easy once we enter the minting phase: 1) Create an account on MetaMask (that's your wallet) 2) Go to etherscan and connect your wallet 3) Check out the Corona Generation smart contract and click on "Write Contract" 4) Go to the mint function 5) For payable amount enter "32" MATIC ( times number of members you want to mint) 6) For "numberOfTokens" enter the number of members you want to mint. 7) Wait and check OpenSea. Your members will show up in your collection on OpenSea.
How is the base URI of the NFT images set?

We are not revealing the true baseURI with this contract. That means that the URL where you can see the Corona Generation metadata like the image and the properties is hidden in the beginning. That way, everyone has a fair chance to mint Corona Generation members with super rare (or not so rare) properties. We will set the baseURI when we reveal the Corona Generation. Important: - the images and the image sequence cannot be changed as the SHA256 hash is submitted with this contract (see also the text at REVEAL) - the medatata (which token gets which image and which properties) cannot be changed as the metadata hash is also already submitted with this contract.
How does the reveal process work?

We will announce ahead of time, when all Corona Generation members will be revealed. Until then, members can be minted, but they will show up with a generic image in opensea or similar platforms. We have decided to have a period where all members are unrevealed to give everyone an equal chance to get one of our rare members. If you'd like to learn how that's been done, read the smart contract!
What's the supply? How many members are there?

The Corona Generation is limited to 10,000 members.
Why is the Corona Generation more environmentally friendly than other NFTs?

Maybe you have heard that Blockchain technology is consuming a ton of energy. This is true and not true. For smart contracts, Ethereum is used. Currently, Ethereum is still very energy-hungry. Therefore we Polygon as a Blockchain Technology. Polygon users a different consensus algorithm and saves around 99.95% of energy compared to Ethereum (see here). On top, the transaction fees can get pretty expensive, sometimes up to $80. Polygon is using the proof of stake mechanism which is more environmentally friendly. Transaction fees on Polygon are only cents (at the time of writing). The currency for the Polygon network is called MATIC.
"The only NFT that speaks for itself. " What does that mean?"

Most NFTs feature unique images. Members are created by combining different traits with different probabilities. In addition, allour Corona generation members introduce themselves. Each of them is telling a story that fits their appearance.
