Street Cuts NFT FAQ

STREET CUTS NFT STORE

Street Cuts is selling a wide and growing array of world class NFTs from street artists around the world in our NFT Store.   

What are STREET CUTS NFTS

 Street Cuts NFT are created by Street Artists exclusively for our platform. 

Some of the art is "cut from the street".  That is an original piece of street art, photographed, with a portion cut out and turned into an NFT. When you buy one of these limited cuts you're owning a piece of history from a particular time and place. 

Others are "original digitals" created directly and only for our space integrating the themes and works of the artists. Watch out!  

You will see each marked and indicated in the store. 

All the work is world class, original, limited, and infinitely collectible!

WHAT IS STREET CUTS?

Street Cuts is dedicated to making street art digital.  Working with, and only with, the original artists, we are building a collective platform that extends the life of the original work through channels such as digital (and real) stickers and Digital Collectible NFTs

For the fan, Street Cuts are a fun way to explore, share, collect, and support street art.  

I Don't have a "crypto wallet" or even know what crypto is, can I buy one?

Yes!
Street Cuts NFTs can be bought and claimed using only your email, name and phone number. Sign up directly or with Google or Facebook.  We've made it easy as can be.  You can purchase with crypto currency or a credit card!  
A free wallet is created for you on signup which holds all of your "Cuts". 
 
Already have a wallet? 
Great.  Street Cuts can be claimed using third-party wallets, like MetaMask or Portis.  You'll be asked once to connect your wallet on sign up. 

 

These are Polygon NFTS? (GEEK ALERT)

All NFTs are minted as Polygon NFTS.  Here is a link to more information. But essentially Polygon is a "layer 2" solution that sits on top of the Ethereum network.  Because it's layer 2, the costs to transact are much lower, hence no gas fees when buying, selling, and trading. And more important it uses something called "Proof of Stake" instead of "Proof of Work" to validate ownership and minting which greatly reduces the carbon footprint that has been read about. 

Can I sell my Street Cuts NFT once i own it?

Yes!

Once purchased, your Street Cuts belongs to YOU and can be sold:

  1. In the on-platform Marketplace feel free to set up for sale or auction.  
  2. Also, outside of our network, you can place it on OpenSea - The largest marketplace for crypto collectibles
Do I need ETH to claim or share Street Cuts?

No!

The Street Cuts platform is powered by NFT.Kred, who provide all users with a default, free wallet on signup.

By default, your Street Cuts are on the Polygon blockchain network and does not incur any Gas charges. You do not need any ETH to claim or trade your Street Cuts on Polygon.

If you choose to transact using the Ethereum mainnet, Gas charges may be incurred for any transaction, payable in ETH.

What is a "royalty" when I sell my Street Cuts.
Street Cuts is a curated platform of awesome art we're selling as NFTs.  It's our goal to bring limited editions to the world, to the fans, with reasonable prices that only will bring more value.  The cool thing about NFTs is that for a first time, the artist participates in the upside of a sale as the price goes up.  While the owner retains the majority of the profit on a resale, a portion is extracted to go back to the artists on each sale.  That is the "royalty" you're seeing.
What do I do with my Street Cuts NFT?
Well, to begin with, you can collect them like any collectible directly on our robust platform.  With your collection you can share out to the world what you own on socials or direct links and connect with the Street Cuts community who are buying, selling, trading, and communicating with our artists!
As these are all on the blockchain they are interoperable now and in the future with apps and services and metaverses that are integrating Polygon NFTs into their ecosystems.  Which is growing and many.  The value many see in having a unique limited digital collectible of amazing art is not only what can be done with it right now, but what can I use it for in the digital world in the days, months, and years to come!  
If you know. You know.

MORE ABOUT STREET CUTS......


I'M A STREET ARTIST, HOW DO I GET MY WORK ON STREET CUTS?
Our collective is growing—by invitation-only. But we haven't met everyone yet, so if you're a real, working street artist and want to pitch us an idea for your own pack, email dusty@streetcuts.co.

When did you start?
We began in 2017 as a "sticker app" and believe it or not started selling NFTs as early as 2018 to big fan fare in the community and little interest in sales.   As they say, "Just because you're early doesn't mean you're wrong" applies.  We are thrilled to have stuck with and been stucked with the same group of people we tried this with early and with much learning have plans to bring only quality, authentic, and innovative street art, the benefits the street artists, to you!

WHERE DOES THE ART COME FROM!
From the artists themselves!  Street artists contribute all the art on the stickers. Some sticker packs are designed just for Street Cuts, but most of them are "cut from the street"—created from actual street art, usually photographed on location by co-founder The Dusty Rebel, and turned into digital stickers. 

ARE YOU TAKING ART OFF THE STREET WITHOUT PERMISSION?
Fuck no! All art for sale is chosen and approved by the street artist—it's their art, they own it. Share about your stickers within our terms of service but please no repurposing for commercial endeavors. 

WHAT ARE YOU SELLING?

  • NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens
  • Physical Stickers
  • Packs in our IOS app to be used in iMessage

CAN I BUY "REAL" STICKERS?

THE LEGACY STREET CUTS STICKER APP

When Street Cuts started we created digital stickers in an IOS app.  We're keeping it up, here's some more info.  All digital sticker packs can be purchased exclusively in the Street Cuts app. Click on "packs" icon at the bottom of the app. 

WHO'S BEHIND THIS?
Street Cuts was created and curated by Daniel Albanese aka The Dusty Rebel, who has been documenting street art for over a decade and Jeffrey Caldwell who has been working in applied tech and art for 2 decades.
