We are incredibly excited to announce that a limited allocation of dCanvas NFTs are now open for public release! Read more about dCanvas, the world’s largest NFT collaborative art project, in our whitepaper.

There are a fixed number of NFTs available, each representing a specific location of 4 x 4 pixels on the canvas. Once all are distributed and the canvas is claimed, no further NFTs on dCanvas will be produced ever again. Each NFT holder has exclusive control over the 16 pixel colors in their NFT and additionally becomes a partner in the world’s largest community art project. Through their NFT, they may gain access to an independent DAO that manages the production of community-created art pieces based on the overall canvas, and governance of any potential royalty from the sale of those commissions.

NFT ownership comes with additional perks too! All NFT owners can create a public profile including a username and URL link to display their ownership. Additionally, owners can message one another to have meaningful discussions and collaborate on the board.

dCanvas NFTs will be released through a series of drop events over the course of the next few weeks. In each drop, a limited amount of NFTs will be allocated. Stay tuned and join our mailing list or follow us on Twitter to be the first to hear about every event!

How to Buy

The NFT sale can be accessed on the dCanvas app. Initial transactions will be conducted via OpenSea in order to minimize gas fees for all users to have the optimal experience. Only a one time authorization fee for OpenSea is required. After that, everyone can purchase NFTs through the app and use their new acquisitions immediately after receiving them without further gas costs. Here, we walk through step-by-step how to acquire your very own dCanvas NFTs.

  1. Navigate to the dCanvas app and look for the sector that is currently open for sale, which should be outlined in blue.

2. Click on one of the blocks within the outlined sector in order to bring up the information about the NFT.

3. Click on “Buy Now.” This will take you to the OpenSea asset page.

4. On the OpenSea asset page, you can click “Buy Now” to acquire the block.

5. If this is your first time, you will need to sign and pay a one-time gas fee to authorize OpenSea to manage your dCanvas NFTs. If it is your first time using OpenSea ever you may also need to pay a one-time gas fee to authorize OpenSea in general.

6. Once authorized, you will be able to sign a transaction to acquire your dCanvas NFT!

7. As soon as the transaction is confirmed, you can start using your NFT right away! The dCanvas product is fully functional and you can set colors of the NFTs you own. On the Transience board, you can find the blocks you own outlined in gray, then you can click on them to set colors and put your artistic vision on the board.

8. In the upper right you will find access to additional features of ownership. You can click the person icon to set a public profile, including username, bio, and URL link. You can also message other NFT owners or check your own messages.

9. For those seeking to buy larger allocations of NFTs, we are actively working on a solution to bundle NFTs to accommodate this which will be available soon. If you want to acquire a larger allocation of NFTs today, please contact us directly at team@dcanvas.co.
