FAQs

How will I receive my NFT?

We are happy to send your NFT to your MetaMask crypto wallet.  You can view an instructional video on setting up your own wallet here.  Otherwise, after your purchase, you will receive an email confirming your NFT has been uploaded to your gallery.  Then simply visit your PoA gallery where your digital art is stored and can be viewed.

What are NFTinies and NFTeenies?

An NFTiny is limited in quantity, just like an NFT, except that it is sold at a lower fixed price point rather than through an auction.  It is primarily meant to be a collectible and may include additional content such as a spotlight on other artists, brand advertisements, charitable organizations, and projects.  It may include rare digital content or even access to physical goods, events, or promotional items.

An NFTeeny is sold at a much lower fixed price and is meant for a wider distribution for patron engagement.  There could be monthly drops of lottery giveaways, surprise digital content, promotional items, voting rights, collaboration opportunities, tickets, and even used as an entry key to VIP memberships or the metaverse.

How do I store and exhibit my NFT?

PoA provides a digital gallery where your NFTs can be stored and viewed. Those with more crypto experience can receive and store your NFT on a digital wallet. You can also display your NFTs in the physical world with frames which exhibit electronic images. Some of the auctions on PoA include physical frames for the winner. To access your gallery, simply create an account.

What is an NFT?

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a digital unit of data stored on blockchain technology that is unmodifiable, easily transferable, and traceable. When you buy an image, audio, or video file, the NFT serves as a digital deed or certificate of authenticity that verifies the copy you own is the original digital file. Non-fungible means they are not interchangeable so much of their value comes from scarcity.

Do I need crypto to buy an NFT?

We understand most people don’t use crypto (not yet anyway).  That’s why we accept major credit cards in addition to crypto.  But, if you prefer using crypto, we've included a Coinbase option at checkout.

What else will my digital collectible provide?

One of the many additional benefits of an NFT is the ability to include additional locked objects that can only be accessed by the owner. These could include surprise content, rare music or videos, interviews from the artist, giveaways, highlights of other artists, and almost anything else you can imagine! NFTs could even include a physical object. The product overview for each NFT will include information on any additional content if included.

What is a crypto wallet?

You don't need a crypto wallet to purchase your NFT, though eventually you may want to get one.  A crypto wallet stores the keys required to buy and store cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The public key acts similarly to a shareable bank account number while the private key serves as your crypto wallet password. If you prefer to store your NFT on a crypto wallet, we recommend MetaMask which is one of the most popular wallets for NFTs. You can view an instructional video on setting up your own wallet here.

What are the environmental impacts of NFTs?

PoA is focused on protecting our environment and maintaining a nearly 0% carbon footprint. While other blockchain networks use a security model called Proof-of-Work mining which consumes a lot of energy, we use Palm or Polygon. These NFT-optimized blockchain networks offer a 99%+ reduction in energy consumption so our eco-conscious artists and their fans can rest assured we are doing everything possible to support their NFTs and the environment.

How can I sell my collectible?

There are numerous marketplaces where you can offer your NFT for sale. PoA offers a simple and user-friendly concierge service to handle all the details of selling your NFTs. If you’d like more guidance on selling your NFT or using our concierge service, contact us here.

What is "Gas" and who pays for it?

In traditional Ethereum blockchain transactions, gas is the fee or pricing value associated with conducting a transaction. In general, the busier the network, the higher the fee. Don’t worry, PoA pays all gas fees no matter how busy the network is! For a fun, real-time visual representation of how gas works, check-out txstreet.com.

Crypto payments will be processed immediately.  However,  credit card processors may limit large amounts paid in dollars.  For the auctioned NFTs, we may facilitate directly with the winners to provide alternative payment to be paid within 24 hours of award notification.  There may be an additional processing fee similar to credit card fees.  If payment is not received within 24 hours, the NFT will be awarded to the next highest bidder.

Refund / Return Policy

Once an NFT is purchased, there are no returns or refunds.  However, we are happy to provide guidance on reselling your NFT.

Moonlight Arts Collective, in partnership with PoA, presents the inaugural 2022 Moon Phase Tokens, our first utility token which will give collectors around the world a chance to join Moonlight as we strive to bridge the gap between the physical prints, collectibles and events and the burgeoning world of web3, NFTs and digital collectibles.

As Moonlight enters into the NFT space our core mission is to educate and learn alongside our audience in an effort to create an inclusive and well-rounded community. NFTs have become part of a larger overarching shift into a Web 3 environment, and while it can be overwhelming to understand and navigate, Moonlight and PoA strive to help to bridge the gap between the crypto world and traditional web purchases as both will simultaneously remain part of the future. Moonlight Arts Collective’s utility tokens will help form the foundation of the Moonlight online community, as well as give collectors unique opportunities for ticket holders including member-only print releases, an online merch store, meet and greets, online artist talks, and much more. Token holders will help Moonlight as we continue to carve out a unique path forward blending digital and physical items that will provide something for everyone. Featuring our iconic Moonlight wolfmark, each token is extremely limited and will continue to evolve as Moonlight progresses.

About Moonlight

Moonlight Arts Collective is a continually evolving community of like minded artists who “moonlight” to create artwork in all forms. an expedition in collaboration showcasing specially curated original artwork exhibitions, unique artist editions, artist talks, events, interviews, thoughtfully executed NFTs and digital editions, custom home goods and much more.

“Creativity is not monolithic: it branches and it flows and our job as artists is to facilitate and participate, not to control and or limit.

Democratizing art through print making and inviting collectors into the fold at all levels is of tantamount importance for the creative process; by making art inaccessible through financial firewalls we severely limit its capacity to tell the story it’s attempting to tell.

Art makes culture and culture makes art;

Our goal is to bring the deeper creative processes and stories of our culture makers to a wider audience, therefore broadening the conversation of creativity and potentially further beautifying our shared world.” – Moonlight Co-Founder Brandon Boyd
