Acquiring and Trading NFTs

Introduction

Acquiring and trading NFTs in Akarun is a central aspect of the game’s ecosystem, offering players a unique opportunity to own, trade, and benefit from digital assets. This chapter details the processes involved in acquiring NFTs, trading them on marketplaces, and the associated fees.

Acquiring NFTs

Primary Sales on OpenSea: The primary method for acquiring Akarun NFTs is through sales on OpenSea, one of the leading NFT marketplaces. OpenSea provides a secure and user-friendly platform for players to purchase NFTs directly from Akarun’s official collections. The initial offerings on OpenSea include a variety of NFTs, such as Akarunners and tracks, each representing different cryptocurrencies and game elements.

• Akarunners: OpenSea Akarunners Collection

• Tracks: OpenSea Akarun Tracks Collection

Auction and Fixed-Price Listings: Akarun NFTs are available on OpenSea through both auction and fixed-price listings. In an auction, players can place bids on their desired NFTs, with the highest bidder winning the auction at the end of the specified period. Fixed-price listings, on the other hand, allow players to purchase NFTs immediately at a set price.

Special Drops and Events: Akarun periodically hosts special NFT drops and events on OpenSea, where exclusive and rare NFTs are released. These events often generate significant interest and provide players with the chance to acquire unique assets that are not available through regular sales.

Trading NFTs

Secondary Market Transactions: After acquiring NFTs, players can trade them on secondary markets, such as OpenSea. The secondary market allows players to buy, sell, and trade NFTs with other players, creating a dynamic marketplace where the value of NFTs can fluctuate based on demand and rarity.

Creator Fees: Every transaction involving an Akarun NFT on OpenSea includes a 5% fee that goes to the creator. This fee supports the ongoing development and maintenance of the Akarun ecosystem. For example, if an NFT is sold for 1 ETH, the creator receives 0.05 ETH as a fee.

Royalties and Resale Value: The 5% creator fee ensures that the original creators of the NFTs continue to benefit from their creations, even as they are traded in the secondary market. This royalty structure incentivizes the creation of high-quality and desirable NFTs, as creators receive a share of the proceeds from every resale.

Marketplaces and Trading Strategies

Using OpenSea: To trade Akarun NFTs on OpenSea, players need to connect their cryptocurrency wallet to the platform. OpenSea supports various wallets, including MetaMask, making it easy for players to manage their NFTs and conduct transactions.

Trading Strategies: Players can adopt various trading strategies to maximize their earnings from NFT trades. These strategies include:

• Holding: Acquiring NFTs and holding them over a period of time, anticipating that their value will increase as the game grows in popularity and the NFTs become rarer.

• Flipping: Purchasing NFTs at a lower price and selling them at a higher price within a short period, taking advantage of market fluctuations and demand spikes.

• Investing in Rare NFTs: Focusing on acquiring rare and unique NFTs that have a higher potential for appreciation due to their scarcity and desirability within the Akarun community.

Benefits of NFT Trading

Earning Potential: Trading NFTs provides players with the opportunity to earn significant profits as the value of their assets appreciates. Successful traders can leverage market trends and community interest to maximize their returns.

Community Engagement: By participating in the NFT marketplace, players engage with the broader Akarun community, fostering connections and collaborations. This active participation enhances the overall gaming experience and strengthens the community
