Astir MasterPass Migration
Deploying our 721 & Distributing the New Collection
BitAstir Launched it’s MasterSport NFT initiative early 2022 with the introduction of the “→Astir MasterPass←”
Since then, the nft industry has gotten beaten, the crypto industry bled alongside the macro backdrop of the global economic downturn, the metaverse is still nowhere to be found & BitAstir has matured into the most mature sport authority on the blockchain (at least we think so).
However, there is always more than meets the eye.
Even with a tumultuous market the Astir MasterSport collection has managed to attract a group of 40 enthusiastic NFT collectors that have poured more than >12.5 ETH into the collection; scooping up over >80 MasterPasses. Their commitments have given BitAstir focused data, in the form of on-chain data feedback to work with on improving the metaverse lifecycle of athletes.
The First optimization made was the “Astir NFT $BITA Rebate“.
Released mid-may of 2022, the rebate came as a bi-product of assessing the operational excesses required in order to participate. The excesses we speak of are the economic entropy of blockchain systems… those of so dear Gas Fees 🙃. At an open market rate of 0.125eth per masterpass the average fee associated with processing a trade request would fall into the range of 0.021–0.043eth; or roughly ~28%! Add to this the fact that NFT transactions are layered in a multitude of other fees; Marketplace fee of OpenSea 2.5% (0.00285eth)+ the MasterPass Collection Fee of 3.3% (0.0037eth); the real cost to a user required for obtaining a masterpass landed right about 0.154 eth.
This meant every 4 masterpass purchases burned the monetary value of the 5th… this is unacceptable, nor is it indefinitely sustainable. Our solutions were Limited in scope; removing the associated masterpass collection fee of 3.3% would bring the average down to 0.15 & utilizing other platforms to reduce the marketplace fee would at most bring down the cost somewhere around 0.149 eth (assuming 0.5% less on looksrare) or at best 0.1475 on some feeless marketplace. Cutting out the most popular platform in world & their audience (OpenSea) was not an option; reducing the collection fee would hinder the treasury development of the project & reduce it’s validity.
The only solution was to find an arbitration mechanism for the gas fees. Hello $BITA token. Since the token needs to maximize its velocity & distribution, tying it to the masterpass not only engendered the system’s components more natively to each other ($BITA← →Masterpass) but it gave the token an added audience to disseminate to.
As BitAstir prepares to enter the 3rd quarter (2nd half of 2022) with a continuation to the MasterPass collection & expansion to its mastersport inventory, it demands an infrastructural upgrade to its NFT’s.
Until now, The “Astit MasterPass collection” has been implemented as an ERC-1155 standard token via lazy mint on OpenSea. This standard has served us well, however, the industry is moving to a more open standard for it’s tokens, one where the token contracts are uniquely deployed by teams rather than through centralized services. Thus BitAstir is proud to be announcing the
