In just a few hours ArtPunks collection holders will be able to mint for free (except Solana/Arweave minting fees) the NFT achievements based on their holdings! This is a breakthrough step for the NFThodlZone project whose mission is to bring together all Solana NFT communities in one place. The ArtPunks collection is the first project that holders will get benefits from a unique achievement system, about which you can learn more in this article.

  1. What is the achievement system?

The achievements system is intended to reward holders for holding their NFTs in their wallets (for now would be available only for ArtPunks collection) and not listing them for sale on marketplaces. It rewards holders for collecting NFTs and holding them instead of listing them on the marketplaces. As an ArtPunk holder, you will be able to mint another cool-looking NFTs for free if you meet the needed requirements. In early February, we will also release achievements staking, which will add massive utility to achievements NFTs!

Some examples of achievements (more details below)

2. Who is eligible to mint achievements and what kind of achievements we implemented?

Achievements will be available for all Artpunks holders who meet the specified requirements (different for each achievement). However, for each of the achievements the most important requirement is time how long you hold your Artpunks. Each achievement is available in 5 types:

  • Metal — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a week.
  • Bronze — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a month.
  • Silver — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for 3 months.
  • Gold — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for a year.
  • Diamond — Hold require ArtPunks minimum for 3 years.
The frame of the achievement is in the color depends on how long you hold specified NFT.

A better type of achievement means more tokens from staking that we are going to implement in early February.

Other, different for each achievement, requirements that holders must meet to be able to mint them are:

1) How many ArtPunks you hold in your wallet:

3 — Fish holder achievement

10 — Dolphin holder achievement

50 — Shark holder achievement

100 — Whale holder achievement

200 — Humpback holder achievement

2) Which art movement do your ArtPunks NFTs represent:

E.g. surrealism collector, street art collector, romanticism collector, etc.

Examples of art-movement achievements.

3) Which painting authors you have collected:

E.g. Van Gogh collector, Picasso collector, Klimt collector etc.

Examples of painting authors achievements.

4) Some of them depends on what kind of rarity/type ArtPunks you hold:

E.g. Ape skin Artpunks, Alien skin ArtPunks, Zombies skin Artpunks etc.

E.g. top100 rank ArtPunks collector, 9900+ rank ArtPunks collectors etc.

Some examples of ArtPunk type/rarity achievements.

As you can see there are so many different various options and possibilities in this new achievement collection! For now, there would be 220 achievements implemented and in the future, that number will grow even more! New achievements to add will be chosen each month by our community! We hope all of you gonna enjoy collecting new NFTs and holding them to get more achievements NFTs as true ART collectors!

3. How to mint achievements?

To mint your achievements open our website: https://nfthodl.zone/, connect your wallet, and click the “ACHIEVEMENTS” tab. Click on the achievements that you would like to mint and check that are you eligible to do it. If yes, click the “Mint” button.

How to mint ArtPunks achievements?

Confirm that you want to mint an achievement and confirm the first transaction (NFT image upload to Arweave storage & NFT data upload to Solana blockchain).

Approve the first transaction (NFT image upload to Arweave storage & NFT data upload to Solana blockchain)

Wait around 10–60 seconds and approve the second transaction (transfer your achievement NFT to your wallet address).

Approve the second transaction (transfer your achievement NFT to your wallet address)

If everything goes well you will get this pop up:

Achievement minted pop up

Achievements minting cost Solana & Arweave NFT minting fee ~0.015 $SOL per achievement. We do not charge any commission from minting, these fees go only to Solana’s validators and to the decentralized Arweave file storage.

In recent days the Solana blockchain has been slightly overloaded, therefore achievement polling may be slow and failed transactions may occur. If the achievement minting process will be very slow, we recommend waiting a few hours or trying to mint achievements tomorrow.

4. Achievements Utilities.

The main utility achievements will be staking — it will be available in early February. Better types of achievements — silver, gold, diamond, will give more ArtPunk tokens than metal or bronze achievements. All details about the ArtPunks token, ArtPunk staking, and staking achievements will be revealed in the coming weeks.
