FAQ

Your grandpa thinks it’s a scam and you’ve decided you’ll never understand it, but fear not! Blockchain is not as complicated as it seems -- it’s actually very cool.

Blockchain is the system that verifies, authenticates, and records all cryptocurrency transactions. It’s the ecosystem that everything that we’ve mentioned above lives on. You might hear blockchain referred to a distributed, public ledger. We know that is not a helpful description. This might be:

A public blockchain is similar to a database, but is differentiated by a few key attributes.

Decentralized: no third party controls the record and there is no master copy. Synchronized copies of the blockchain are distributed and stored on computers around the world.

Public: anyone who wants to can access the blockchain. Public keys of wallets and their transactions are made viewable so that any user can confirm that transactions are legitimate.

Immutable: once a transaction has been entered into the record (aka: ledger), changing it or erasing it is infeasible (and nearly impossible).

In the same way cryptocurrencies reinvented money, NFTs are reinventing…. Pretty much every other item we interact with (and even creating new ones!).

Crypto tokens like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) and fiat currencies like the dollar and euro are fungible tokens. You can have one ETH and exchange it for any other ETH, or you can exchange a 100 dollar bill with any other 100 dollar bill.

On the contrary, non-fungible tokens or NFTs are crypto tokens that represent information of unique or rare digital and real-world assets. This information stored in each NFT makes them non-interchangeable on a 1:1 basis. An NFT cannot even be divided into smaller parts like other crypto assets or fiat currencies.

NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens) are unique or rare digital assets. They can represent anything from a digital work of art to an avatar skin, they can be a proxy for a physical object or grant you a piece of ownership to your favorite song.

We’ll shoot straight with you, NFTs would probably feel 100% less confusing if they weren’t called Non Fungible Tokens. Consider them to be unique digital objects that you can own, welcome to the era of digital ownership.

But the bigger, most exciting thing behind NFT adoption – and why this is so fundamentally important for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole – is linked to culture. The more we spend time online, the more our digital identities become as important as our physical ones. And this is where NFTs come into play; they're the Web3 vehicle for self expression and social currency.

So, you’re wondering how you can get your hands on a VALACLAVA NFT, but not sure about the finer details? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered:

1. CHOOSE YOUR GARMENT: Browse our products and find what you are looking for while units are available.

2. CUSTOMIZE YOUR PRODUCT: Personalize your VALACLAVA piece with the available features or buy the hero colorway.

3. GET YOUR NFT: Your NFT will be minted and sent right to your inbox where you can claim it.

4. WAIT FOR YOUR UNIQUE PHYSICAL GARMENT: Your physical product will be delivered right to your doorstep in 20-25 days.

As we begin to collect more NFTs that we love, it is important to ensure they are protected. Any cryptocurrency, including an NFT, is stored on the blockchain.

“Owning” a crypto asset really means controlling the private key that points to that specific asset on the blockchain. This is how the record knows and displays which wallets own which NFTs or currencies. If someone gains access to your wallet they can steal your assets, and the transaction is irreversible.

To avoid that, you should log-in and transact on any NFT marketplace by using wallets like Coinbase wallet, WalletConnect or MetaMask. When you claim your NFT you will be guided by the NOVEL team on how to set up a wallet.

Yes. NFTs are typically acquired from different curated platforms that specifically deal in digital assets. Open marketplaces, like OpenSea.io, are popular for buying and trading NFTs.

You should keep in mind that once you sell your digital NFT, even if you keep the physical product, the information on the NFC tag will update with the information of the new owner. We advise you to always transfer the physical garment alongside the NFT.

You can use the NFC reader feature on your phone and after that you will be guided to download the VALACLAVA app where you can check your product digital twin and passport.

For US customers, VALACLAVA does not collect sales or use tax in all states. Your purchase may be subject to sales or use tax, unless your state is exempt from taxation. Many states require a sales/use tax return filing at the end of the year for taxable purchases that were not taxed (including internet purchases) and payment of use tax on those purchases.
