FAQ's

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 provenance, ownership and immutability of your licensed Shanoko Digital Collectibles across virtual worlds, while the technology also enables our consumers to be able to buy and sell our licensed Shanoko Digital Collectibles with one another.

What is the Metaverse?

There are many definitions in the wild but a good one is by Matthew Ball where he defines the metaverse as a “massively scaled and interoperable network of real-time rendered 3D virtual worlds, which can be experienced synchronously and persistently by an effectively unlimited number of users with an individual sense of presence”.

In layman terms, the Metaverse is a virtual world where people can interact with one another and with their digital assets for different purposes and experiences.

This is producing a new opportunity for us in creating digital experiences and fashion.

We currently support only Spatials, We hope to get our digital clothings and avatars on Ready Player Me and other virtual world projects.

One thing at Aslanback we are really excited about is AR technology, which will start to offer the opportunity for the virtual worlds to merge even more with the physical world, changing how we view fashion today and in the future.

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.
