I can't see the UNO NFT in my wallet, what should I do?​

If your wallet doesn't support NFTs, try connecting your wallet with a third-party such as NFTscan, OpenSea, or simply check the explorer for the network you selected while purchasing the ticket.

Where can I purchase an UNO NFT?​

What happens if I buy an UNO raffle and don’t win an allowlisted place?​

The mechanism setup ensured that anyone who didn't get an allowlisted place in the raffle would get their money back once Phase 3 was completed. However, everyone that engaged in the raffle has been awarded the opportunity to mint UNO.

No refunds are anticipated for Phase 2.

Do machine providers get a slot for UNO?​

No, machine providers need to apply for allowlist positions like everyone else.

What action should I take if I hold Wave 1 airdrop $NODE tokens already?​

You are automatically allowlisted as a Wave 1 airdrop $NODE holder and can exchange:

Will UNO be available on secondary marketplaces after minting?​

No, it won’t be available anywhere else apart from the NodeOps platform. There is a limited supply of 10k NFTs.

If I missed out on UNO, can I buy from holders?​

Yes, eventually! The UNO is bound to the minting wallet for 1 year; they may appear on the market after that.

What currency can I purchase UNO in, and how will gas be deducted?​

You can pay with multiple chains and token options available with our payment partner. You must cover the cost of gas, which will vary between networks.

What is the process of minting UNO when the sale goes live?​

  • Completed

For Phase 1, $NODE holders can mint UNO by exchanging 500 $NODE here for 48 hours.

  • For Phase 2, everyone may participate in the 2,000-piece supply. Here’s how it works:

    • Buy as many $25 tickets as you wish

    • A raffle will determine which tickets win a chance to mint

    • Each full mint costs $200, so any tickets you purchased go toward that total

    • If you are on an allowlist, you will have 5x the chances to win

    For example, if you buy 8 tickets (totalling $200) and two of those tickets get selected in the raffle, you’ve effectively paid for one UNO mint already. You can claim that immediately. If you want to claim the second winning spot as well, you’d pay an additional $200 to complete that second mint. Any unclaimed spots will carry over to Phase 3.

In Phase 3, anyone can mint whatever is left at $250 per mint (no raffle involved).

The distribution of UNO NFTs will commence after March 17th 2025.

What chain will the UNO mint happen on?​

The mint for UNO in Phase 1 will happen on the Ethereum Mainnet.

For Phase 2 and 3, users can select their chain of choice for the UNO mint. Options: Arbitrum and Base.

Are NodeOps partners involved in the UNO collection?​

Yes, some of our partners will release special edition UNO NFTs that will carry some limited benefits.

Are there any discounts in place for the collection?​

Yes, winners of the raffle (Phase 2) get a 20% discount applied: price $200.

Is there an allowlist for the collection?​

Yes you can register to be included on the allowlist.

There is also an allowlist campaign running with different partners and other project communities: a preference will be given to them during the Phase 2 raffle.

What do you mean by Proof-of-Conviction?​

Proof-of-Conviction is a way to acknowledge those willing to put their chips on us: the more you put in, the more consideration we give back during the raffle in Phase 2.

If I purchase multiple UNO do I multiply my rewards?​

This is a yes and no answer! If you hold multiple UNO, then your profit share multiplies.

For example, 2 UNO means twice the profit share. However, this is not the case for rewards or discounts. For example, in terms of any future airdrops, they will be issued per wallet not per UNO. Similarly, a discount does not multiply. For example, as 20% discount does not accumulate to a 40% discount.

Are there any restricted geographies?​

You must not be (i) a citizen or resident of, or located in: Algeria, Bolivia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Canada, China, Bangladesh, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, North Korea, Republic of China, Syria, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, United States (and its territories), Ukraine, Belarus, Albania, Burma, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lybia, Somalia, Yemen, and Nepal ("Restricted Jurisdictions") or any other country, jurisdiction, a geographic area that is subject to U.S. or other sovereign country sanctions, or (ii) subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (i.e., the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, the United Kingdom, or other applicable government authority.
