Here are some common issues why your transaction may not be working.

Check your Activity Queue

You can only process one transaction at a time. Check your activity queue, you may have multiple transaction waiting to be processed causing your SCOOL Mint to be waiting in line to be processed.

Polygon Network

You might be on the wrong network. Make sure you’re on the Polygon Network. https://docs.polygon.technology/docs/develop/metamask/config-polygon-on-metamask/

Have $MATIC

You need to have some $MATIC to pay for the gas fees for your transactions. It’s not much but you do need some to complete transactions.

Reconnect Wallet

You can try Logout & Login/Re-Connecting your MetaMask Wallet

Reload Website

Sometimes reloading the website or restarting your browser can fix some caching issues on the website.

Polygon Network Congestion

This issue is out of anyones control. The network can be bogged down, or maybe the RPC could also be down. The solution for this is to just wait it out till the Polygon Team resolves the issue.

We recently announced our second Shadowfied Collection, The Shadowfied COOL (SCOOL). As we gear up for launch, here is some key important about the Shadow Verse project and how the SCOOL launch will be handles

SCOOL Stealth Launch

At this stage of the project, we are inspired to build our community and to find ways to reward those that are part of the Shadow Verse family. First thing we are going to do is make our Discord server PRIVATE.

We will be launching the SCOOL collection and the details will ONLY be posted in our Discord. The reason we are doing this is we want a create a community and reward those that truly want to be a part of it. If you’re already in our Discord, Congrats! You’re in and you will have the details for minting the SCOOL collection.

PHASE 1 — Private Launch for SBAYC Owners

To reward our Shadowfied BAYC (SBAYC) holders, we will hold a free mint period where you can claim one FREE SCOOL NFT. If you are an SBAYC holder, you need to get in our Discord for details on how to claim your FREE SCOOL.

If you don’t own an SBAYC, you can’t claim your free SCOOL. However, you can purchase one on the secondary market on OpenSea or TofuNFT.

PHASE 2 — Private Launch for The Community

Details for the Private Launch will be in our Discord. Members of the community will be able to mint SCOOL for FREE.

Discord Server will be set to Private in 24 hrs from publishing this post. If you miss this opportunity you will need to follow @shadowVerseNFT for opportunity get into the Discord Server.

PHASE 3 — Public Launch

What if I miss the private launch period?
Once the private launch phase is completed, the remaining supply for the SCOOL collection will be available for sale.

I thought the SCOOL collection was FREE?
Just to be clear, Yes, the SCOOL collection is indeed FREE if you are an SBAYC owner or if you are part of the Shadow Verse community in Discord.

Since the collection is FREE, we didn’t want our collection to be spammed or exploited resulting in unfair minting. This is why the remaining supply after the Stealth Launch will have a mint price.

We are planning to have The Community Vote on Discord to determine what the public mint price will be for the SCOOL.

How do I get in the Discord if it’s private?
There will be plenty of opportunities to get in our Discord server throughout our Stealth Launch. We will be opening up our Discord periodically for a limited time to allow new members to join. Make sure you to follow us on Twitter and turn on 🔔 “Notify” to stay informed.

Conclusion

To put it plainly, the reason we are headed this direction is to ensure that those who are part of The Shadow Verse truly benefit in all aspects.

The Problem

When we first started out our collection, one of the biggest struggles we had was finding ways to collaborate and promote so that we can build our community and build awareness. From our experience, we found that anytime we wanted to collaborate with an NFT promoter or another project, we would be met with a lob-sided partnership where it wasn’t mutual to build and work together without having some sort of transaction that only benefitted them, such as ETH payment. The challenge with this is that the success is not guaranteed. We’ve spoken to other artists or admins of NFT collections who said that they “spent a lot of ETH” working with NFT promoters but when it came to measuring success, it did not meet the mark.

For The Community, From The Community

As a part of our roadmap, we wanted to take a different approach where we would collaborate with the Polygon NFT community. We want to use our platform to connect and reach out to NFT artists and NFT projects trying to grow a following. As a project who is just starting out, we get it, it’s hard to build a following and a community. Everyone just wants to gouge you for your ETH when it comes to collabs and promos. Instead, let’s work together! We want to showcase your skill, promote you or your project with no catch. Just straight up support for each other.

The Collab

As we gear up for 2022, we want to continue to have the Shadow Verse project be community driven. We would like to collaborate with any artists or upcoming projects launching on the Polygon Network on creating original NFT art as the first edition of Shadow Verse Airdrops and in return we can create a Shadowfied version of your art or collection for your holders.

The goal is to allow new artists or projects that are starting out an opportunity to piggy back off of each other’s platform for mutual growth while creating exposure towards each other’s community as we grow. The selected artist or project gets to promote their collection or art to our holders. As your art or project becomes successful, so does the value of each other’s collaborated art.

The Airdrop NFT

• The Artist Collab
  This airdrop will be a Shadow Verse themed NFT created in the style of the artist.
• The Project Collab
  For this airdrop, we are going to Shadowfy a special edition NFT of their collection.

All credit will be given to the selected artist and project within the metadata.

If you are an artist or a project that is interested in working with The Shadow Verse, please fill out this form.

Due to the nature of increased interest, please note that we will not be able to work with everyone. The Shadow Verse will determine which artists or projects we will work with.

Going back to the “Why” of our project, we are passionate in growing the NFT space in the Polygon Network while allowing both new and existing NFT collectors the opportunity to participate in having variations of popular collections. This is why our Shadowfied collections are free!

Opening Doors

Although we had a successful launch and having the Shadowfied BAYC (SBAYC) collection fully minted, we are most happy about being able to be the ones to open the doors for new NFT collectors on the Polygon space. There was a good amount of people mentioning in our social channels that the Shadow Verse was their first ever mint or first ever NFT! This is what it’s about!

As mentioned in previous posts, the Shadow Verse will be a multi-series collection of “Shadowfied” popular collections.

Our goal was to make it as EASY & FAIR as possible for new collectors. Our goal is to grow the NFT space on Polygon chain, and to get as many new NFT collectors experience in the minting process.

Shadowfied BAYC (SBAYC)

Our First Collection, the Shadowfied BAYC collection. We launched the Collection on Thursday Oct 28th, 2021 @ 20:30 UTC. Initial feedback on our Discord server was very positive from first time Collectors.

Having participated in multiple popular NFT launches, whiffing in the ability to mint the NFT and resulting in many failed transactions (losing out in gas fees), we decided to create our own project.

A project that allows NFT collectors to mint at near $0.00 cost in gas fees. As our first project, we want to grow the NFT space on the Polygon chain.

NFT Collection

We wanted to make it as EASY as possible for new collectors.

The Perfect Entry Level NFT For New Collectors

• Free to Mint
• Near Zero Gas Fees
• Two Mints Per Wallet
• Fair Launch

The Shadow Verse project is a series of collections that are converted to shadowed, black & white version of the original NFT collection.

The Idea is to allow new NFT collector & non whales to be able to participate and experience the NFT minting process with out having to compete in GAS wars or lose out in gas fees from FAILED transactions.

Polygon Chain

We decided to build our own project & collection but where? Our developer suggest the idea to launch on the Polygon chain.

• We ❤️ the near zero gas Fees
• Scaling of the network as layer two side chain solution for Ethereum
• Hermez acquisition exposes them to the ZK roll up Layer 2 Tech
• A lot of large Ethereum dapps have migrated over to Polygon, as the services they provide makes it unusable for the average user. SushiSwap, GetProtocol, Aave, etc… to name a few
