# NFTs

Every item users buy on MetaSpace will be added to their wallet as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). This lets gamers have complete ownership of their purchases and real-world utility. In addition to in-game use, you can trade, stake, or HODL your NFTs and earn real money out of it. Nothing in the game is locked; everything truly belongs to you. MetaSpace’s NFT collection includes [shootables🔫](/whitepaper/nfts/shootables.md), [melees 🔪](/whitepaper/nfts/melees.md), [characters🧍‍♂️](/whitepaper/nfts/characters.md), and [vehicles🚗](/whitepaper/nfts/vehicles-coming-soon.md).

Each NFT is a unique digital token with its own identifier (token ID) recorded on Polygon, which appears in your crypto wallet as proof of ownership. When you buy an item from the MetaSpace marketplace or win one in an event or a community rewards program, it is added to your wallet as an NFT. Thus, you never lose what you buy or earn. This ownership model is a major feature that makes MetaSpace stand out from regular mobile games.

### NFT Tiers

NFTs on MetaSpace follow a four-tier system. The higher the tier, the better its potential value and associated perks. The naming goes like this: **Common → Rare → Epic → Legendary.** Common NFTs are easier to acquire as rewards and cheaper to purchase from the marketplace. Higher NFTs have better aesthetics, hence more collectible value, and offer special privileges in MetaSpace events and rewards programs. 

Read about buying NFTs [here](/whitepaper/marketplace.md#buying-nfts). 

### NFT Staking

All purchased NFTs can be staked at the marketplace website. Staked NFTs will earn rewards in the governance token ($MLD). Staking yield depends on the token’s hash rate and the duration of staking. The hash rate of an NFT, in turn, depends on the rarity and tier of the same. All things being equal, legendary NFTs generate the highest yields, followed by Epic, Rare, and Common. The overall reward pool expands dynamically as more NFTs are staked. This creates a stronger incentive for participation. NFTs, while staked, can’t be used inside the game.

Detailed instructions on staking NFTs can be found [here](/whitepaper/marketplace.md#staking-nfts).

#### Staking Mechanism

The NFT staking reward pool is currently set to 100 $MLD per day. However, when staking sees a significant uptick in the future, the reward pool can grow dynamically to up to 10,000 $MLD per day. The mechanism is designed to provide optimum benefits for the staking community. Staking an NFT requires a fee of 10 $LORD tokens. Upon unstaking, 50% of the fee collected is burnt to support token health and scarcity, while the remaining portion follows the protocol's rules. The staking mechanism at MetaSpace is designed to discourage short-term farming. This is done by penalizing quick unstaking of NFTs and strongly rewarding long-term commitment.

### Airdrop and Reward Allocation

Higher-tier NFTs grant special access to rewards on MetaSpace. Holders of Rare, Epic, and Legendary NFTs become eligible for $MLD airdrops when it goes live and receive higher allocation weights compared to Common-tier NFT holders. This tiered structure ensures that more dedicated participants are rewarded proportionally. Additionally, higher-tier owners enjoy priority access to any other future rewards programs, reinforcing the NFTs’ long-term value.

### eSports and Community Benefits

Owning a MetaSpace NFT unlocks both competitive and community privileges. NFT holders gain eligibility to participate in MetaSpace eSports tournaments and receive priority access to competitive events. They are also awarded exclusive Discord roles and tags, granting them recognition as core community members. Furthermore, owners can enter HODLers-Only events, fostering a stronger sense of belonging and ownership within the MetaSpace community. <br>
