The Mogul development team is assembling the newest features for Mogul’s NFT Marketplace and ecosystem. Ten major features have been or are about to be onboarded. A new feature will be reviewed each week over the course of ten weeks.

Mogul Development Update #9

The user experience is one of Mogul’s primary objectives when developing its NFT marketplace.

Mogul puts a focus on what users can see with their accounts, and what they want to see.

After attaching their NFT/Blockchain wallets to the NFT Marketplace, users should be able to view:

What NFTs they own on the ETH or BSC networks.

History of transaction they performed

Auctions they place bids in

NFTs they have listed

Stakeholder history.

STARS Available

Quadratic Voting – Mogul has built the first ever, consumer-ready, blockchain voting system that uses quadratic votes. This gives Mogul users and STARS holders the fair ability to influence and lend their voice to which movies will get made.

Quadratic voting uses a quadratic equation to weigh votes differently. With this system, STARS token holders are assigned a certain number of votes per token they own. For every token that a holder has, they get fewer voting credits, so large token holders with millions of coins are unable to skew the vote. It’s a square root. So say a person votes with 100 STARS, their votes will tally to 10, a person who votes with 25 will get 5 votes.

This promotes active participation in voting from all of the STARS token holders, regardless of their size, because each holder has a voice in the process. Small holders actually have a proportionally large voice; which in turn allows Mogul to gauge the sentiment across our entire community and not just a few large holders

Mogul is where movies meet blockchain. Mogul partners with some of the biggest names in entertainment, helping artists of all sorts connect with their most loyal fans on different levels, while giving them innovative ways to engage with their favorite performers.

Navigating New Frontiers

Mogul Productions is capable of leveraging these advanced technological innovations to give artists and buyers alike a more robust user experience.

Toward The Future

The Mogul NFT Marketplace is the marketplace where film & entertainment meet blockchain. The development and marketing team keeps up and is often ahead of technological advancements within the blockchain community.

Mogul’s community-oriented system is specifically built for the entertainment industry, making its partnerships with moviemakers, music makers, content creators, and intellectual property owners winners .

Stay tuned next week when we discuss another of the newest features to the Mogul marketplace.

Are you ready to unlock the potential of NFTs in film entertainment?

The Power of Community and Utility in the Current Crypto Market

Post author By mogulprod
Post date May 24, 2022
No Comments on The Power of Community and Utility in the Current Crypto Market

Since launching, Mogul has developed one of the world’s most influential NFT marketplaces. Our platform is off to a strong start with 50,000 active NFT Marketplace users in the first three months after it came online and $50M in value sent through Mogul smart contracts. Part of this success is due to the magnetization toward our community. Additionally, the amount of utility that Mogul offers to token holders through staking and other benefits is vital to the long term sustainability of the ecosystem.

Mogul has led the charge into NFTs and DeFi for artists, fans, and filmmakers everywhere by creating a crypto community around the entertainment industry. Our diverse community’s strength is apparent through collaborations with the likes of $50M feature film Antara, Grammy Award Winning Rapper Ja Rule, Academy Award winning Actress Julianne Moore, and The Simpsons Animator Erick Tran on the entertainment side, and Polygon, Chainlink, and ApeSwap on the blockchain side.

Additionally, Mogul’s new staking program is another example of how we’re building our platform with a group of people who believe in what we’re building and a community of people who are committed to building with us. Our new staking pools are an added utility that offers members of our community an incentive to hold STARS long term. We’re starting a 1-year campaign that will reward our STARS token holders who meet the holding requirements with more tokens than ever before.

The Power of Crypto Communities

The camaraderie that crypto communities offer has the potential to extend beyond kinship felt by sports enthusiasts, fans of the same musical band, or even compatriots.

Crypto communities are more empowering than other communities because they allow and incentivize actual community governance – that means the community’s constituents can make decisions that truly impact the group and themselves. In crypto communities, people can put “skin in the game” to participate in an economy where their voices are heard. Furthermore, incentivizing crypto communities with added utility can create stronger communities. Many examples of crypto communities have grown by offering added utility to token holders.

Community Examples:

Bored Ape Yacht Club: The company hosts real-life parties with concerts for its members that enjoy the networking as well as airdrop utility of being part of its community. Members include Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton. Bored Ape Yacht Club token holders stay connected through a tokengated chat and other virtual and token-holder-only events in the metaverse.
Permies: Crypto media company Blockworks created a collection of 555 Permie NFTs for VIP access to their 2022 Permissionless conference, lifetime access to all future Permissionless events, access to the $2,500 per year Blockworks Research platform, and a token-holder Discord with people from some of the most influential companies in Web2, Web3, and traditional finance. Business deals, job hirings, and high-level market information happen through this small crypto community that is loaded with utility.

These are just two examples of thriving crypto communities. They demonstrate that if token holders have a strong community with utility, the token can succeed. However, other ways to add utility to a community extend beyond IRL events and token airdrops. Staking is another example of added utility that can positively impact a token community.

Staking STARS and Mogul’s Film3 Community

Crypto-connected communities advance the current idea of fraternity and what it means to connect to others around a shared interest. By design, crypto communities use game theory to encourage players in a system to interact rationally. These players, the community itself, make decisions together to govern the community. They all have a shared interest because they own tokens in the community, make decisions in the community, and want to see it succeed. A bond of this magnitude is powerful.

As we execute our 2022/2023 roadmap, we are rewarding our community for staking by giving them STARS tokens in our largest staking pool yet! Users must fulfill the requirements for the minimum lockup threshold to be eligible for rewards at the specified ending time. We have 14M STARS tokens we will be rewarding our pool participants with. This program will last for an entire year to celebrate our 1st anniversary of the STARS token, a milestone we reached in May 2022!

In total, there are four different staking pools that vary based on the amount of rewards that are given, the amount of STARS tokens that are required to be staked, and the duration of time the STARS need to be staked to receive the reward. (Please note, since the reward pools are issued on every BSC block, the pool’s actual end dates are approximated to BSC’s average block time. These dates may not be exact for the end times for the pools):

VIP: 1M STARS | 1-Month Minimum Lockup
Backstage: 3M STARS | 2-Month Minimum Lockup
Oscar’s: 4M STARS | 3-Month Minimum Lockup
A-List: 6M STARS | 3-Month Minimum Lockup

Mogul empowers its community by offering a place where its community can vote on projects they want to see coming online to the market. By offering a way for the community to vote on which projects they want to see come to life, Mogul creates a diverse, incentivized platform around a shared artistic interest and shared vision. Then, Mogul incentivizes long-term participation in this community through rewards.

Mogul’s platform attracts different networks of people across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. Different protocols and their corresponding communities have their own unique flare.

No Comments on AMA with Erick Tran of Chavvo Studios Recap

This post recaps the AMA with Erick Tran, Founder of Chavvo Studios that took place on the Mogul Official Discord Server on Wednesday, November 24th.

I’d like to welcome (Erick Tran) to the channel. It would be great if you could introduce yourself to the community. 🌟

Erick Tran: Absolutely, so basically worked on The Simpsons since 1996. I started as an animator and was then promoted to assistant director in 2002. I supervised on the Simpsons Movie and then worked with Universal Studios Simpsons Ride. Hopefully, have some fans here? Lol

Thanks for that, great to have you here! I’m a huge fan! Spider piiiig! LOL

Erick Tran: Now, I dedicate my time at CHAVVO animation as CEO, director & producer. We have creative teams in 5 countries so it’s pretty cool.

I also produce live-action content, feature films, reality shows, documentaries, and most recently Anime projects with Universal Studios Japan

Question 1 (@MageFrost): How did your relationship with Mogul begin and what aspects of Mogul made you decide to work together?

Erick Tran: Well, it all started with my good friend Cindy Cowan who is an amazing producer here in Hollywood. But seeing what MOGUL was doing I knew it was definitely the right move. I think raising money to produce films and shows through crypto is the future

Question 2 (@Buzzmogie): Did you literally create Bart?!

Erick Tran: No lol, I was like 12yrs old

Question 3 (@Buzzmogie): Please tell us some cool stories about what you may have had a big role in bringing to the show

Erick Tran: Well as you know the character model designs have changed since early years. I was asked to update the Simpsons family model designs to what they are now. It was def a BIG DEAL and honor that they wanted me to do it. That was a loooooong time ago lol

Question 4 (@Barcell1): It’s your first work in the metaverse, how do you feel working with Mogul in such pioneering industry?

Erick Tran:Absolutely A M A Z I N G !!!

It’s like in animation. We are creating things that will be released 6-12 months in the future. Though this is our first project in the metaverse, it’s interesting that our years of experience in animation/VR/CG etc has prepped us for this

The MOGUL team has been amazing. I hope to visit soon in their fancy private jet haha

Question 5 (@Sol): Can you give more detail on the rendering process for Mogies that makes them unique?

Erick Tran: Absolutely

Well.. it is a long process where each MOGIE is digitally sculpted. We start off with our 2D design team, once designs are approved then in goes to CG. We apply textures and other magical stuff to bring them to life

It’s an 8 step process. They aren’t automated through AI by any means so it’s special

Question 6 (@Sol): Which Mogie is on your personal wishlist?

Erick Tran: Ohhhh boy! if I say will I jinx it? LOL

But… if this is the place to spill the beans and get real insight (so) here’s a lil secret… Fresh Prince was the first Mogie created. SHhhhhhhh 🤫

2nd created was Leonardo – Wolf Wallstreet and 3rd Marlyn Monroe. So there you have it.

Queston 7 (@MageFrost): Can you tell us 1-2 things that non-designers do not understand about the complexities of animation? Or what are some things you wished others will appreciate?

Erick Tran: Well, FYI it takes approx 5mins to draw a good simpsons character pose. Sometimes it requires about 5-10 key poses for just a few sec of animation. There have been scenes that would take an animator up to 1 week for maybe 10sec of screen time depending on complexity.

Not easy on the body for sure but we do it because we love our job.

Question 8 (@jiayi): Can you tell us more about potential future plans for an animated movie / series featuring Mogies?

Erick Tran: OMG! BIG! So FYI, our team comprises of artist & animators that work (not only on Simpsons) but also at Disney, Dreamworks, WB, Cartoon Network, Nick etc… and Universal.

We are ready to go all in with Mogul to produce produce produce. Let’s just say it will be all hands on deck. We have 2 top level concept artists that work on Mandalorian, Avengers films, Star Wars awakens; just to give you an idea.

Question 9 (@Sol): What other projects are you involved with beyond the Mogies?

Erick Tran: Doraemon, Attack on Titan, and this other anime called Demon Slayer. Not sure if you’ve heard of it? It was only the highest grossing anime of all time. 😉

Question 10 (@Buzzmogie): Can you tell us about the Easter eggs hidden in each Mogie?

Erick Tran: Yes, each Mogie has a Mogul Star. Some are apparent some are much more hidden… but it’s there.

Question 11 (@Buzzmogie): What was your perception of NFTs prior to working with Mogul?

Erick Tran: NFT is the future and VERY thankful that there’s more awareness.

Question 12 (@Buzzmogie): What is MogieLand

Erick Tran: Mogieland will be the digital world of the Mogies. I’m not sure how much we can say but there isn’t anything like it from what we’ve seen so far.

Question 13 (@Buzzmogie): Do you own crypto or NFTs?

Erick Tran: Yes

Question 14 (@Buzzmogie): STARS is your fav token? 🙂

Erick Tran: Let me think… lol

Question 15 (@Buzzmogie): What other nft projects are catching your eye these days?

Erick Tran: We are so slammed on Mogies that I haven’t had the time to look.

Thanks so much for all your questions everybody, and it’s a pleasure doing this AMA with you (Erick Tran). Can you please share your socials so our community can be updated with all your latest projects?

Erick Tran: IG @chavvostudios! Thanks for having us! our pleasure!! 2022 is going to be BIG

STARS Staking Begins

$STARS Staking is a go!

Lights. Camera. Action! Starting Sunday May 15th, Mogul launches its longest staking program to date!

14 Million STARS tokens are to be rewarded to the Mogul community

Mogul Productions strives to drive extra value to our loyal STARS holders.

The program will last for an entire calendar year – giving STARS holders another way to use their tokens as we execute on our 2022/2023 roadmap!

STARS token holders can lock their tokens for specified periods of time in order to receive a STARS reward rate, which is defined by the pool they are entering. The longer the lockup, the more rewards!

Staking means to lock your tokens to earn rewards. Rewards are accumulated passively for locking your STARS tokens for defined periods of time. Staking rewards are received in the form of STARS tokens.

Reward Pools

Each reward pool has a different number of STARS allocated to reward the users in the pool.

The reward rate per pool will vary over time. It is calculated each block according to the STARS allocated to the pool, and the number of STARS the users have put into the reward pool. Rewards are issued proportionally according to the number of STARS a user stakes.

Reward pools starts on May 15th. Users can withdraw their STARS at any given point in time. But to be eligible to claim pending rewards, users must meet the minimum lockup requirement in the pool.

If a user withdraws before the minimum lockup requirement, they will not be able to claim their rewards.

# of Rewards: 1,000,000 STARS

Min. Lockup: 1 month

Reward Payment: 3 months

How to Stake

Go to https://my.mogulproductions.com/platform/starsStaking

or go to the Mogul NFT Marketplace and click on Staking.

This user interface on the Mogul NFT Marketplace will be available during the year-long staking time slots, where STARS token holders will be able to APPROVE and STAKE their STARS to enter the pool of their choosing. It will show stakeholders their profitability in their dashboard.

The STARS staking program is for BEP20 STARS

This way users do not have to pay as high of a gas fee to enter the pool and claim their rewards; fewer fees and more rewards for our community!

For users which need to swap their tokens from ETH to BSC in order to take part in the STARS staking, we suggest using AnySwap.

AnySwap Bridge: https://anyswap.exchange/#/bridge

For more information on swapping STARS click here.

Select the pool that you wish to stake your STARS tokens in.

Your wallet will display how much STARS you have available on the BSC Network.

Enter the amount or percentage of STARS you wish to stake for this pool and click on the “APPROVE STARS” button.

This will take the user to their crypto wallet. Confirm you want to make this transaction. Once confirmed the “Approve Stars” button will change to “STAKE”

Click on STAKE.

Confirm the transaction on your crypto wallet.

Once confirmed, this message will appear and you have successfully staked your STARS.

The pool rewards are issued every BSC block. This means that the pool end dates are approximated according to the average block time on BSC. Therefore, the pool end dates may not be exact.

‍

* It is important to note that users must meet the minimum lockup threshold to be eligible to claim their pending rewards. Rewards can be claimed after the reward payment period ends. This period differs for each pool. There is no minimum or maximum amount that a user must stake.

Sit back, grab your popcorn, and get ready for the STARS Staking. Program begins Sunday, May 15th!

NFT’s are strengthening the connection between filmmakers and movie fans

No Comments on NFT’s are strengthening the connection between filmmakers and movie fans

The film industry has always been associated with glitz, glamor, endless talent, and juicy gossip that has entertained several generations and shows no sign of stopping. One thing this industry never had a solid reputation for, is actually connecting with the fans themselves. Of course, this has gradually showed signs of changing, as social media started taking over. But even so, the disconnect would always be there to a certain degree. This changed dramatically once Mogul Productions came to be.

Mogul UX and UI Optimization

No Comments on Mogul UX and UI Optimization

Mogul Development Update #8

The User Interface (UI) at Mogul’s NFT Marketplace is constantly adapting to make the User Experience (UX) more enjoyable when they visit.

“User Interface” (UI) is the series of screens, pages, and visual elements that enable a person to interact with a product or service. “User Experience” (UX) is defined as the interaction and experience users have with a company’s products and services.

New features mentioned in previous Development updates, within the Mogul Marketplace, is making the UI and UX robost. This UI and UX update goes further into how artists and users interact with each other on the NFT platform. ‍

A number of backend features that were part of the legacy code from the old platform is being brought to a higher standard. As Mogul is starting to scale into more drops and more users, the develppment needs to make ensure the current platfrorm performance can hadle the increaed traffic including the number of drops once staking and voting are reintroduced.

For NFT Artists,

Artists can make NFTs internally and build full collections.
Artists can take this interface, put in all their details and just mint.
NFT drops can have different tiers.
NFTs can utilize Unlockable content.
Artists can review the entire project. There will be a Preview page showing what the NFT drop will look like before going live.
Built in community building processes are built into the User Interface (UI)

Simply fill in information on the User Interface to start the process. The interface will take it from there to guide artists through the process. Mogul’s UI takes the NFT public sales process from the start of the asset build right to the very end.

Artists can make and schedule their own NFT drops.‍

A drop refers to the exact date, time, and minting price of the NFT.

Typical NFTs can include the following and so much more.

Collectible items.
Film memorabilia
Artwork.
Event tickets.
Music and media.
Gaming.
Big Sports Moments.
Virtual Fashion.
Real-world assets.

User friendly

The new direction is to make NFTs public sales process, in PFP (profile picture) and other collection standards, fully optimized and much easier to navigate through.

The new Mogul NFL platform will combine both ETH and BSC on the same display.

For PFP style collectionism, buyers directly mint NFTs at the time of the sale. It’s a more advanced product from previous launchpad standards.

With a NFT showcase page, new collections are listed and include featured sections for upcoming drops.

Buyers and inquisitors can go directly to the landing page which is created and launched by the artists on the Mogul platform. It will allow fans and collectors to buy the NFTs right then and there.

Drops can be to regular auctions, or lazy drops.

Lazy minting allows the minting process to be pushed forward until someone actually purchases a token.

Navigating New Frontiers

Mogul Productions is capable of leveraging these advanced technological innovations to give artists and buyers alike a more robust user experience.

Toward The Future

Stay tuned next week when we discuss another of the newest features to the Mogul marketplace.

No Comments on Beginners Guide to Buying Stars

Welcome everyone to Mogul’s ecosystem. We are the NFT marketplace platform for the film and entertainment industry. Over the years Mogul has cultivated its team and technology to give you the best experience. Each day Mogul develops exciting products infused with a strong community spirit.

With so many exciting products from film and entertainment in Mogul’s marketplace, new fans and collectors join our ecosystem daily.

The STARS token is our native cryptocurrency. STARS allows users to take part in our NFT drops and get involved in the community. Fans and collectors who wish to buy NFTs on the Mogul platform will need STARS to do so. It’s used for staking, voting, governance and ownership.

STARS is acquired in two ways. First, by buying/swapping them. Second is by earning them in your smart wallet for staking during voting periods.

This guide to help get you on your way to attaining STARS so you can participate in upcoming NFT drops.

For these walkthroughs, we are using a web browser, not a smart phone.

Go to Mogul’s Marketplace page. The button is located on the top right hand of the Mogul Productions home page.

Here is the link. https://my.mogulproductions.com/platform/dashboard

Click on Connect Wallet on the top left hand corner

First, you need a crypto wallet such as MetaMask, or have a stored account on MEXC or BitMart, part of the approved exchanges on Mogul’s website.

Setting up your MetaMask Wallet

Go to Mogul’s STARS page https://www.mogulproductions.com/stars

After clicking on Connect Wallet on the top left hand corner, select MetaMask and connect our wallet.

This video will explain briefly what MetMask is and how it works. https://youtu.be/YVgfHZMFFFQ

If you do not have a MetaMask wallet already then you must install it.

To do that, go to https://metamask.io/download/ and select the option that applies to you and follow the instructions.

The instructions are different, yet easy to understand for each installation option. For Chrome users in this example the installation will automatically begin after clicking the “Install MetaMask for Chrome” button.

Mogul Productions - Install MetaMask for Chrome

During the installation process Chrome extensions will ask you whether to import an existing wallet or create a wallet.

Mogul Productions - Install MetaMask for Chrome 1

Deciding to create a new wallet will prompt you to accept or decline data collection information.

Mogul Productions - Install MetaMask for Chrome 2

Create a new password and agree to the Terms of Use.

Mogul Productions - Install MetaMask for Chrome 3

Squirrel will prompt you to watch a security video Before getting started, watch this short video to learn about your Secret Recovery Phrase and how to keep your wallet safe.

Mogul Productions - Metamask - Secure Your Wallet

Your secret recovery phrase is your master key. Don’t lose it. It’s a series of 12 words which are generated when you first set up MetaMask. It allows you to recover your wallet and funds if you ever lose access. It’s important that you secure your wallet by keeping your secret recovery phrase very safe and secret. If anyone gets access to it they will have the master key to your wallet and can freely access and take all of your funds.

Mogul Productions - Metamask - Secret Recovery Phrase

To secure your MetaMask wallet you’ll want to safely save your secret recovery phrase. Nobody including the team at MetaMask can help you recover your wallet if you lose your secret recovery phrase. If you haven’t written down your secret recovery phrase and stored it somewhere safe, do it ASAP. Do not share your recovery phrase with anyone, including MetaMask. If anyone ever asks you for it, they are trying to scam you.

Once you have successfully stored your recovery phrase click “Next.”

MetaMask ask you to drag and drop the list of 12 keywords from your recovery phrase into the correct order by clicking on them in the correct order. If you accidentally put then in the wrong order, you can drag and drop them in the proper order.

Mogul Productions - Metamask - Confirm Secret Recovery Phrase

Click the Confirm button when ready. If everything is done correctly, you should get a Congratulations message.

If you’ve done the previous step correctly, your wallet address should show up on the top right corner of the page.
Next, ensure that the currency on the top is set to ETH and the bottom currency is set to STARS. Here, you will be swapping the top currency for the bottom currency.
If you don’t already have STARS on your UniSwap tokens list, press “Select a token” and search STARS. Make sure you select the one that has “Mogul Productions” next to it, and hit the blue “Import” button. For verification, the contract address for the ERC20 STARS token should be: 0xc55c2175E90A46602fD42e931f62B3Acc1A013Ca.
Verify that you are importing the correct token, and hit the blue “Import” button again.
Enter the amount of ETH you would like to swap for STARS. Make sure you have more ETH than you are swapping for to ensure gas fees are covered. A gas fee is something all users must pay to perform any function on the Ethereum blockchain.
Next, click the blue “Swap” button on the bottom, followed by “Confirm Swap”.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet, which should then show “Transaction submitted” on the main page.
You can then click on “View on Etherscan” to verify the transaction

The large majority of NFTs available on Mogul NFT Marketplace are purchased with STARS.

Here are the links for buying STARS on different crypto wallets.

PART 1: NFT drops can only be minted on either the ETH network or the BSC network.

THEY CANNOT BE MINTED ON BOTH NETWORKS AT THE SAME TIME.

This is a general misunderstanding some beginners have about buying NFTs on the Mogul NFT Marketplace… or any other marketplace for that matter.

ETH Searches will only display NFT collections that are on the ETH (Ethereum) network.

BSC Searches will only display NFT collections that are on the BSC (Binance Smart Chain) network.

Guide to Acquiring NFTs on Mogul Marketplace

Each available NFT on the Mogul Marketplace on the Ethererum “ETH” network will appear with the ETH symbol located inside the description.

BSC Searches will only display NFT collections that are on the BSC (Binance Smart Chain) network.

Each available NFT on the Mogul Marketplace on Binance Smart Chain “BSC” network will appear with the BSC symbol located inside the description.

Mogul’s newest universal NFT collection display will show both ETH and BSC together. However all the NFTs will still either be part of one network or the other.

PART 2: Mogul NFT Marketplace only displays the STARS on the network you are currently attached to.

‍IF YOU ONLY BOUGHT STARS ON ONE NETWORK THEY CAN’T AUTOMATICALLY BE ON BOTH NETWORKS AT THE SAME TIME.

So if you own your STARS on the ETH network….

… it doesn’t automatically mean you own STARS on the BSC network and vice versa

Mogul NFT Marketplace - STARS on the BSC network

So even though there are 3,408.4 STARS on the ETH network, they can’t be used to buy the NFT below for 450 STARS because it is on the BSC network.

Solution: You can buy more STARS on the BSC network, send STARS from another crypto wallet, or you can do this.

Swap the STARS from ETH network to BSC. Here’s how to do it.

For this process we are going to use a Metamask wallet to go through the entire process of purchasing a NFT.

PART 3: How to swap STARS tokens between the ETH and BSC networks.

Step A

Select the Network on the Mogul NFT Marketplace that you wish to transfer STARS from.

(This is the network that has the STARS you are transferring)

If you switch over from one network to another, your crypto wallet, such as MetaMask in this example, will prompt you to confirm switching over to another network.

Step B

In this example we are using the AnySwap to make the swap.

Click on the link to open AnySwap

AnySwap Bridge: https://anyswap.exchange/#/bridge

Connect your wallet to AnySwap

Make sure you are on the “Bridge” tab.

Change the From to ETH (or whatever the default cryptocurrency is) to STARS.

After you connect your wallet to AnySwap will be able to see the amount of STARS you have..

Make sure the amount of STARS you are swapping is at least the minimum (circled below).

Then click “Swap”. The click “Confirm” when prompted.

Scroll down and click “Confirm” on your wallet.

(If you wish to see more information on swapping STARS click here.https://mogulproductions.gitbook.io/mogul-productions/stars-token/bridge)

Once the swap is complete. Go back to Mogul Marketplace and select the other network that you were swapping STARS to. This will prompt Metamask or whichever wallet you are using to switch to the same network

You should see the STARS you swapped on your other network now.

Select the NFT you wish to buy with STARS. Click on Purchase NFT

Select “Approve”

‍

Confirm the transaction.

Once confirmed, the NFT is ready to be purchased with STARS.

Click “Purchase”

* NOTE: If the wallet did NOT allow you to make the NFT purchase, scroll down to the TROUBLE SHOOTING section.

Mogul Productions - Metamask Notification

Your wallet will ask you to Confirm the purchase. Click “Confirm”

Mogul Productions - Transaction Completed

The NFT purchase is now completed. As long as your wallet is linked to the Mogul NFT Marketplace, you can now Transfer or Sell your NFT.

Also the unlockable content within this particular NFT is now unlocked.

Every NFT purchase is unique. In this particular case regarding Unlockable Content, the Metamask wallet is asking to “Sign” that the wallet’s account is the rightful owner. .

The Mogul NFT Marketplace should update the amount of NFTs owned on the connected wallet.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The NFT purchase transaction should go through. Unless you get this message.

Every transaction swap on blockchain requires gas. Depending on the Network you are transacting in you will need either ETH or BNB. On the Ethereum gas is paid with ETH and on the Binance chain it’s paid with BNB.

If you don’t have ETH or BNB depending on the Network, you will have to…

Buy it by selecting and clicking on “Buy”. Then continue to either Transak to pay by credit card or Apple Pay. (Both options will automatically copy your wallet address over) ….

…Or pay by direct deposit.

From there it will take you to the Transak website to select the amount f

Mogul NFT Marketplace Directly Deposit BNB

Use Transak with a credit card or Apply Pay will require going through a KYC (Know Your Client) Process. Once completed and the transaction is approved, your ETH or BSC tokens will appear in your wallet.

or receive it from another wallet into your wallet. Click on the copy button where your address is and give it to the sender wallet to receive the proper cryptocurrency into your MetaMask wallet, in this example.

‍

Is there only one MetaMask address?

Yes, you use the same address for different ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum network, as long as your wallet is compatible with the ERC20 token you can use it with that wallet on the same address.

How Supernovas preserve the value of STARS token holders

No Comments on How Supernovas preserve the value of STARS token holders

Mogul is always thinking of new ways to reward STARS token holders and preserve its purchasing power.

STARS tokens are used to buy NFTs on the Mogul Marketplace, redeem exclusive rewards, gain early access to new NFTs, and shape the Mogul community and metaverse.

Buying Mogul NFTs with STARS also rewards buyers with discounts and lower gas rates.

Every time STARS are used for in-app activities, Mogul destroys a portion of the STARS used to complete the action.

That includes:

Purchasing limited-edition NFTs that are only made available to STARS holders

Purchasing rewards with STARS

Submitting scripts for Mogul’s review

Here at Mogul, we call it a Supernova when a portion of STARS are permanently taken out of circulation, or burned.

Supernovas help maintain the value and quantity of the STARS currency in circulation, as well as protect and reward our community of token holders. It’s a credit cancellation process. Supernovas are scheduled to occur on the third Friday of every month and more may be added as circumstances allow.

Fun fact: A supernova is a powerful and luminous explosion of a star. It’s a transition stage of a star’s life cycle where the astronomical event occurs at the last stage of the star’s life. At Mogul, a supernova means we’re removing STARS tokens from circulation permanently 🔥
