FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
StackNFT has teamed up with the NEAR blockchain to offer the first-ever NFT platform that allows youth athletes of all ages and skill levels to create and capture their favorite sports memories digitally. StackNFT is owned and operated by Stack Sports, a global technology leader in SaaS platform offerings for the sports industry, with nearly 50 million users in 35 countries. From little league to the pros, Stack Sports powers the many moments that create the story of your journey through sports.
At Stack Sports, we view NFTs as an opportunity to shape the way sports interact with the world. They present an amazing opportunity to utilize new technology and enhance the connectivity of athletes, parents, coaches, families, and sports fans everywhere. We’re different from other NFT platforms, whereas we don’t have a marketplace where we push athletes to sell their NFTs for profit, but rather a place where all ages and skill levels of athletes can create and collect memories digitally.
Mint your royalty-free NFTs effortlessly, without any advanced knowledge of the minting or wallet creation process. Just upload, decorate, and mint. Not to mention, we’re environmentally friendly! StackNFT teamed up with NEAR because they are known for their carbon-neutral network and support of several forest protection and restoration projects.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger (blockchain). NFTs can be associated with reproducible digital files such as photos, videos, and audio. NFTs use a digital ledger to provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership but do not restrict the sharing or copying of the underlying digital files.
Minting refers to the process of creating an NFT, by establishing its first appearance on the blockchain or proving ownership of the digital item.
A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. The innovation with a blockchain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party.
Currently, we’re focusing on the ease and affordability of creating and minting your very own NFTs as digital memories you can collect and share with friends, family, and teammates at any age. We plan to introduce new features like trading, videos, and more in the near future. And who knows, maybe one day some of the athletes featured on these first edition StackNFTs will end up playing professionally, making them a very valuable collectible.
