We’re excited to announce that NFT Bridges has partnered with Whitelist zone to bring its Ambassador collection to the public.
Whitelist Zone, the industry-standard solution for whitelist access, offers safe access to unique investment opportunities sourced directly from launchpads and Web3 projects.
Whitelist Zone is offering NFT Bridges’ historic cross-chain NFT collection, the Ambassadors. The collection is Gamified and comes with an Airdrop of NFT Bridges’ native governance token, Teleport.
When a user buys an Ambassador NFT, he or she gets an airdrop of a random number of Teleport tokens, between 100 and 100,000 per NFT. NFT Bridges wanted to ensure that the Airdrop was transparent and fair and that no one, including the NFT Bridges team, could manipulate it.
That is why NFT Bridge chose to use the VRF Oracle protocol from Chainlink.
Chainlink VRF works by combining block data that is still unknown when the request is made with the Oracle node’s pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. The NFT Bridges’ smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, and the cryptographic proof can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof. This provides our users with automated and verifiable assurances directly on-chain that the token rewards are provably fair and were not tampered with by the Oracle, outside entities, or the NFT Bridges team.
But that is not the end of the Ambassadors collection gamification.
Every time a user moves an NFT across the chains that NFT Bridges supports, he or she will participate in the drawing again and have another chance to win 100-100,000 Teleport tokens.
The Ambassadors is the first collection being minted, distributed, and moved across the chains using Chainlink’s CCIP protocol. We selected CCIP as our preferred interoperability solution because Chainlink has the most proven track record of maintaining the highest standard of security and reliability in the blockchain industry, with CCIP being the only interoperability solution achieving level-5 cross-chain security.
Furthermore, CCIP is backed by the Risk Management Network—a separate, independent network that continually monitors and verifies cross-chain operations for suspicious activity. This additional layer of security is particularly important given historical industry exploits and the billions in user funds lost due to unreliable cross-chain infrastructure.
The Ambassadors collection is historic in the sense that it is the first NFT collection to be secured and governed by CCIP and VRF protocol. NFT Bridges believes that there will be many more collections who will choose to use these technologies as the NFT market will become more and more cross chain enabled. However, the Ambassadors will always be the first collection to do so, making the collection unique and valuable. Each Ambassadors NFT minted on September 20th, 2024, will be part of the first batch of this historic event.
About NFT Bridges
NFT Bridges has developed technology that allows NFTs to be transferred between eight major blockchains–with more on the way–enhancing the interoperability of the Web 3 space. We don’t just transfer NFTs from one blockchain to another. Our bridges allow participants to leverage their digital assets in ways they never could before. Collections can now launch simultaneously on multiple chains, potentially leading to quicker sell-outs. Collectors can move their NFTs to chains that offer more attractive investment opportunities or the release of up-and-coming tokens. Investors can diversify or consolidate their portfolios as needed, working in tandem with markets on the fly. This mobility leads to a more productive and proactive relationship with Web 3. Instead of waiting and waiting for the stars to align, people can take control of their destinies.
Additionally, NFT Bridges is introducing the Teleport governance token, a key element in decentralizing our bridge network through a robust system of cross-chain validators. Teleport token is not just a digital asset; it’s a catalyst for community empowerment and platform functionality. By staking these tokens, users gain access to unique opportunities, including participation in a specialized liquidity pool. This pool allows NFT holders to secure loans using their NFTs as collateral, adding new utility to their digital assets.
Moreover, the introduction of this token will significantly accelerate the adoption and usage of our bridges. It represents more than just a means of transaction. Teleport token is a tool for facilitating greater involvement and investment in the NFT Bridges ecosystem, driving both growth and decentralization.
About Whitelist Zone
WhiteList Zone is a Web3 whitelist marketplace, offering safe access to unique investment opportunities sourced directly from launchpads and Web3 projects.
Instead of participating endlessly in social activities, staking tokens across multiple launchpads, or risking scams in the OTC market, retail users can visit wzone.io, select a verified project, purchase a whitelist, and be ready to invest in under a minute.
For projects and launchpads, Whitelist Zone streamlines access to a targeted audience of motivated investors (with over 90% of whitelist buyers likely to invest), helping them achieve their fundraising and development goals.
The Ambassadors collection is also the first to utilize Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), further securing its status as a groundbreaking project. NFT Bridges selected CCIP for its unmatched level-5 cross-chain security and the additional layer of protection provided by Chainlink’s Risk Management Network. This ensures that cross-chain operations are continuously monitored, safeguarding user funds from the risks associated with unreliable infrastructure.
This collection is more than just an NFT series; it’s a pivotal moment in Web3 history. The Ambassadors NFTs, minted on September 20th, 2024, represent the first batch of NFTs secured by both the CCIP and VRF protocols, making them uniquely valuable.
