NFT

We are 5000 rats from across NYC, together making trash art with the ERC721 blockchain protocol as NFTs from our city experiences. Each NFT is unique, using over 60 unique attributes.

We love the eccentric art, chaotic street, and places we rats are not allowed to go. Everyday we wander around subway railway looking for pizza. At night we dwell in soft trash bags, count stars and talk about dreams and this never-ending virus. Generally it’s very rat- friendly. So we’d like to welcome our fellow rodents with special new york experience. Don’t worry, some good ones. We know the city like the back of our paws.

Roadmap

What is the New York City Rat NFT?

New York City Rat is a collection of digital artworks (NFTs) running on the Ethereum network.

It is created by four crypto believers, NFT ​enthusiasts and travel fanatics, currently living in NYC. We have years of experience in cryptocurrency trading, almost one year in NFT and years of traveling experience, covering four continents.

This project is intended to gift special experience to people interested while exploring NFT space and testing our skills.

Is there a royalty in secondary trading?

When you transfer any Digital Item, you shall pay us (or cause to be paid to us) a royalty equal to the amount paid by the transferee (without deductions of any kind) multiplied by 5 (five) percent. The platform on which you make the transfer may automatically collect and pay us the royalty, which payment would fulfill your obligation to pay the applicable royalty. You shall pay all fees (e.g., “gas,” platform fees) and taxes (other than taxes on our net income) associated with the transfer and won’t deduct any such amounts from the applicable royalty. You shall pay all such amounts to an account or blockchain address that New York CIty Rat designates, either in ETH or other cryptocurrency acceptable to New York City Rat. IF YOU OBTAIN A DIGITAL ITEM FROM A THIRD PARTY WHO HAS NOT PAID THE ROYALTY DUE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH TRANSFER, YOU OBTAIN NO LICENSE TO CORRESPONDING ARTWORK (AND FOR CLARITY, THE LICENSE ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO THE CORRESPONDING ARTWORK) UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID US (OR CAUSED TO BE PAID TO US) SUCH ROYALTY.

What are gas, gwei or minting fees?

Gas fees, or minting fees, are a transaction fee on the Ethereum blockchain. When you make transactions, such as purchasing an NFT, you will need enough ETH in your wallet for the initial purchase and the associated gas fees.

The gas fee enables your transaction to be processed on the Ethereum network and stored on the blockchain. The price of gas is volatile and fluctuates based on the supply of miners who receive the gas for the transaction vs the demand from consumers/minters making transactions. At mint time, when a user can enter the gas price they wish to pay, a suggested fee is shown by the wallet (e.g. Metamask) to make the transaction.

If the cost of gas price exceeds the fee you offered to pay, your transaction could fail and the gas fee will be lost without the transaction being confirmed. This means that you will have paid gas, without receiving an NFT. Lost gas fees are non-refundable. Move forward at your own risk.

Gas fees are paid to miners as a reward for processing Ethereum transactions and keeping the network online. New York City Rat does not set gas fees or receive proceeds from gas.

What is an NFT?

A non-fungible token, or NFT, is a digital asset used to represent ownership of unique items or access, whether digital or physical. Most commonly they are used for digital collectibles. Ownership and transfer of an NFT is secured by the Ethereum blockchain, which ensures that one NFT only has one owner at any given time, and that nobody can modify the history of the token’s ownership.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency or store of value that uses the blockchain, a digital transaction ledger, to record and secure online transactions. Cryptocurrencies can be used to buy goods and services. Currently, the most traded cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum.

What blockchain are these NFTs minted on?

This NFT is minted on the Ethereum blockchain.

What is "digital wallet"?

A blockchain wallet is a digital storage that enables you to store and transact with cryptocurrency. In its simplest form, a wallet comprises a public and private key, which are cryptographically generated.To make the process of setting up a wallet user-friendly, there are many software wallets, such as Metamask, which equip you with a wallet address, key vault, secure login, and backup options to manage your digital assets securely. Metamask runs as a browser extension and/or mobile app, and you can be up and running in just a couple minutes. Learn more at Metamask FAQ.With a digital wallet, you hold the keys and are in charge of your own assets. Your assets are only as safe as your keys, so back them up and keep them safe! Remember to never, ever share your seed phrase to anyone. That is for your eyes only.

How do I purchase ETH (Ethereum)?

You can purchase ETH through an online exchange as for e.g Coinbase. Once you have purchased ETH, you can transfer the funds into your Metamask or another compatible wallet to purchase an NFT. Please keep in mind that there are limits on the amounts of ETH you can buy and sell based on your account and the platform you’re using.

What is an NFT marketplace?

NFT marketplaces enable creators and collectors to buy, sell and create. After connecting your wallet, you can purchase, auction or sell a wide range of NFTs. The leading open NFT marketplace is called Opensea, this is also referred to as the secondary market.
