Which blockchain are Mapstone NFTs minted on, and what token standard do they use?
Mapstone NFTs are minted on Ethereum Mainnet, the public production Ethereum blockchain. This is the same network used by many established crypto wallets, NFT marketplaces, and Ethereum applications.
What token standard does Mapstone use?
Mapstone NFTs use the ERC-721 token standard. ERC-721 is designed for NFTs, where each token is unique and has its own token ID and owner.
What information is recorded on Ethereum?
Each Mapstone NFT’s token ID, ownership, and transfer history are recorded on Ethereum. The NFT also contains a link to its associated metadata, which provides information about the location represented by the NFT.
What does this mean for NFT owners?
- Ownership can be publicly verified on the Ethereum blockchain.
- Mapstone NFTs can be held in compatible Ethereum wallets.
- Ethereum transactions, such as minting or transferring an NFT, require a network gas fee paid in ETH.
- Gas fees are charged by the Ethereum network and are separate from Mapstone’s NFT price.
