1. What is a non-fungible token (NFT)?

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a cryptographic token that represents a unique asset. They function as verifiable proof of authenticity and ownership within a blockchain network.

2. What is a “Vote to Earn” NFT?

The “Vote to Earn” NFT is an NFT that users can purchase, giving them voting rights for potential BitMart token listings. Users holding such NFTs will have a chance to vote and receive airdrops from these projects if their chosen projects successfully list on BitMart.

3. What is the BitMart Vote Listing Program?

BitMart is the first exchange to offer an NFT-based Vote Listing Program for users to support unlisted projects with potential. To participate, users must purchase a BitMart “Vote to Earn” NFT on the BitMart NFT Marketplace or through the BitMart Launchpad first.

Potential token listings will be announced via official BitMart channels, and users that hold one of these Vote-To-Earn NFTs can review information about the project and vote on whether it should be listed on BitMart. When a project reaches the required vote threshold, it will go live on BitMart within 10 business days or at a date scheduled by the project team. 

After listing on BitMart, all voters that once supported such listing will get a chance in sharing a prize pool provided by the project via token airdrops.

If users are no longer interested in exercising their voting rights, they can still trade their “Vote to Earn” NFT on the BitMart NFT Marketplace at any time. 

4. Vote to Earn NFT Value and New Batch Release drom Sept-2023 to Sept-2024

BitMart team may release additional batches of Vote-to-Earn NFTs on the launchpad based on users’ demand, and the prices may change based on the length of periods that such NFTs are entitled to join “Vote-to-Earn” sessions.

For example, if a batch of Vote-to-Earn II NFTs carries voting rights that are live from 09/25/2023 3:00 PM (UTC) - 09/25/2024 3:00 PM (UTC):

1) User A purchases the NFT on 12/1/2023, and he/she has approximately 9 month voting rights if holding the NFT;

2) User B purchases the NFT on 8/1/2024, he/she has approximately 2 month voting rights if holding the NFT.

Vote to Earn NFT II follow the similar pattern. 

Please refer to the below chart: 

    The holders of the “Vote-To-Earn” NFTs will be entitled to vote for each “vote for listing” section. However, there’s no guarantee for successful listings of related tokens with BitMart.
