The Sphere Karmetplace is a 0%-fee digital platform for buying, selling, and appreciating live art seeds and derivatives minted as non-fungible tokens, leveraging blockchain technology to support artists and engage communities into a novel funding mechanism.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a type of a digital deed that is inscribed on a public internet registry. Simply put, it can be understood as a container for metadata and media content, thus being a means of artistic and financial expression that allows for the self-issuance of scarce digital objects.

To collect the works, you will need a non-custodial wallet that has a balance corresponding to the price of the works in Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. If you don't have Ether, you can buy it on an centralized exchange like https://coinbase.com, https://bitstamp.com or in a decentralized exchange like https://app.uniswap.org.

You can install Metamask through the website https://metamask.io, for free.

A non-custodial wallet is a digital cryptocurrency wallet that is installed in your internet browser as an extension (add-on), in which the custody of the assets is not centralized by any third party entity (like a bank, for instance), but by the person who owns the wallet itself. It is recommended to use Metamask, the most widely used wallet. When installing Metamask in your browser, you will be asked to securely note down a secret recovery phrase (seed phrase) of 12 words that gives you access to the wallet. It is very important to have a backup of this phrase, preferably physically and never share it with anyone, because with this phrase you (or anyone in possession of it) can access the wallet on any device. As a browser extension, Metamask has proven to be quite secure, requiring a minimum amount of personal information sharing. For more details on its operation, visit https://metamask.io/faqs/.

You can use other wallets that operate on the Ethereum blockchain to connect to the Karmetplace. We offer support Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, WalletConnect, Rabby, Ledger, and Phantom, besides MetaMask.

Initially, the Karmetplace features only one collection: The Sphere Karmic Objects ($KARMIC001).

THE SPHERE KARMIC OBJECTS collection is minted on the Ethereum Mainnet using the ERC-1155 standard.

Gas fees are payments made by users to compensate for the computing energy required to process and validate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. They vary based on network demand and transaction complexity. Live estimations can be found at https://etherscan.io/gastracker.
