What is 721Fi?

721Fi is an all-encompassing platform that serves a dual purpose.

Firstly, it provides users with a user-friendly and comprehensive platform to effortlessly create, deploy, and manage their NFT collections and communities. Best of all, this platform is available to users completely free of charge and offers advanced functionalities to enhance the NFT creation experience.

Secondly, 721Fi introduces a groundbreaking paradigm of DeFi NFTs through the integration of staking and burn-to-withdraw mechanisms. With 721Fi, concerns about scams and questionable projects become a thing of the past.

The creation process within 721Fi revolves around four key pillars:

  1. Creation: 721Fi offers users an intuitive and user-friendly interface to create stunning NFT artwork. Users can either upload their own artwork or leverage the platform's built-in artificial intelligence tool. 721Fi seamlessly guides users through the process of creating metadata, defining rarity levels, and uploading collections to IPFS—an immutable and decentralized file system—without any associated costs.

  2. Contract and DeFi settings: Prior to deployment, the collection creator has the opportunity to define essential characteristics of the collection, encompassing both basic ERC-721 attributes (e.g., name, symbol) and more specific settings related to the DeFi aspect of 721Fi (ERC-721Fi). These DeFi settings include parameters such as the minimum mint price, collection size, early-burning penalty time, penalty percentage, and other customizable options that shape the collection's economic dynamics within 721Fi. By fine-tuning these settings, creators can tailor their collections to align with their desired DeFi strategies and optimize value generation for both themselves and their community.

  3. Deployment: 721Fi empowers users to create and deploy their NFT contracts on the Fantom blockchain, ensuring immutability, verification, and public accessibility. The platform's optimized system boasts ultra-low contract deployment fees while retaining advanced functionalities such as random minting, AI-generated content, and soulbound tokens. Additionally, 721Fi offers the option to utilize upgradeable contracts, enabling users to take advantage of upcoming features. Upon deploying a collection, users receive an NFT representing ownership.

  4. Administration: The administration pillar focuses on facilitating efficient collection management and nurturing the community aspect of the NFT lifecycle. Users can create custom subdomains or minting widgets for their own websites, modify collection settings, and engage with their community in meaningful ways.

Now, let's delve into some of the fantastic features that make 721Fi truly unique.

Key Aspects of 721Fi

721Fi introduces several key aspects that shape its innovative approach to NFTs and DeFi. Let's explore these features in more detail:

Burn-to-withdraw

721Fi implements a unique "burn-to-withdraw" mechanism that allows users to reclaim a portion of their initial investment by burning their NFTs. The amount refunded depends on the timing of the burn, with early burners receiving at least 80% of the initial price paid. This incentivizes users to hold onto their NFTs and delay the burn process, as they stand to benefit from both the accrued value and the initial value of early burners. By providing a safety net for NFT purchasers, 721Fi offers enhanced confidence and liquidity within the ecosystem.

When burning an NFT in 721Fi, the amount received upon withdrawal is determined by several factors:

  1. Duration of NFT Hold: 721Fi incorporates a penalty system based on the length of time an NFT has been held. The collection creator defines a penalty time frame (e.g., a year) and a penalty percentage (e.g., 5%). Initially, only the higher penalty (5%) applies at the time of minting. Over time, the penalty percentage linearly reduces until it is completely removed (e.g., after a year). This incentivizes users to hold onto their NFTs for an extended period, as they can benefit from reduced penalties. This increases the collection floor price. Also, the longer an NFT is held, the more value it accumulates (as the value is staked). Time becomes a crucial factor in determining the amount received upon burning an NFT, as the value of the NFT grows over time. This also encourages to hold the NFTs for long time.

  2. Order of Burn: The number of people who have burned the NFT also impacts the amount received. If you are among the first to burn, you will incur the maximum penalty. Conversely, if you are one of the last to burn, not only will you avoid penalties, but you will also receive rewards derived from a portion of the penalties imposed on early burners. Additionally, you will benefit from the generated yield during the holding period. This encourages to hold the NFTs for long time.

  3. Penalties and Fees: The creator of the collection can set specific penalties and fees associated with burning and minting the NFT. Lower penalties and fees result in a higher return for the burner, incentivizing collectors to choose collections with more favorable terms.

These three factors collectively contribute to the final amount refunded when an NFT is burned in 721Fi. By carefully considering these aspects, users can strategically navigate the burn-to-withdraw process to optimize their returns and maximize the benefits of holding their NFTs.

Staking

721Fi harnesses the power of the DeFi ecosystem and liquid staking tokens on (or bridged to) Fantom, providing users with a robust staking mechanism that generates a high yield. The yield will depend on the staking token used. By integrating staking into the 721Fi, NFT holders have the opportunity to actively participate in the growth and value appreciation of their NFT holdings. Unlike traditional scenarios where NFTs may gradually lose value over time, 721Fi flips the script by enabling NFTs to accrue value over time through staking. We not only stake the minting fee but also enable manual and automatic reinvestment to auto-compound the yield of the underlying NFT value (only applies on liquid staking that rebase, like deprecated Ankr version).

When users mint the NFTs, they indirectly contribute to the overall ecosystem and play a vital role in its development. In return for their participation, NFT holders receive rewards based on the value they add. This alignment of interests between NFT holders and the 721Fi community fosters a vibrant and engaged user base, where users are incentivized to actively support and contribute to the success of the platform.

Through the powerful combination of staking and NFT ownership, 721Fi empowers users to not only enjoy the aesthetic and community aspects of their NFTs but also actively generate additional income and enhance the value of their digital assets.

Fund your NFT

This feature allows NFT owners to increase their investment in their token and thus increase their percentage share in the project and future yield generation. You can add as much as you want. You'll receive the relative stakes for the new value of the NFT.

Withdraw your rewards

This feature allows NFT owners to individually withdraw both rewards they have generated so far through staking or excess of investment, leaving at minimum the underneath mint price value on the NFT. Their global stakes will be reduced according to the new investment. Penalties only applies to burning, so excess of investment and rewards doesn't have penalties, only optional fees set by collection owners.

Early-Burning Penalties

721Fi introduces a nuanced early-burning penalty system that accounts for both the duration of NFT ownership and the order in which burn transactions occur. Let's explore these aspects in more detail:

Penalties Based on Duration: Users who choose to burn their NFTs before a designated penalty time frame will face a penalty percentage. The penalty percentage gradually reduces over time, promoting a long-term holding mentality. For example, at the time of minting, an initial penalty percentage may apply (e.g., 5%). However, this penalty reduces linearly as the NFT is held, and after a specified period, the penalty is entirely removed. This structure incentivizes users to hold onto their NFTs for an extended duration, as they can benefit from reduced penalties.

Penalties Based on Burn Order: The order in which NFTs are burned also plays a crucial role in the penalty system. Early burners, who choose to burn their NFTs sooner, may face higher penalties compared to those who hold onto their NFTs for a more extended period. This mechanism further encourages users to delay the burning process, as they can avoid more significant penalties and potentially receive additional rewards.

Rewards for Late Burners: Late burners, who hold their NFTs for a more extended duration, are rewarded for their commitment. They receive a portion of the penalties incurred by early burners, allowing them to benefit from the penalties imposed on those who burned their NFTs prematurely. Additionally, late burners may also receive rewards in the form of yield generated over time from their contributions to the 721Fi ecosystem. These rewards serve as an incentive for users to support the project's growth and actively engage with the community.

By combining penalties based on duration and burn order, 721Fi establishes a comprehensive early-burning penalty system. This approach fosters a sustainable NFT ecosystem, encourages long-term ownership, and rewards late burners for their commitment and contribution to the NFT collection.

Unlimited Minting Price

721Fi introduces an innovative approach to minting NFTs by offering users the flexibility to set their own minting price within a specified range. While there is a minimum minting price to ensure the value of the NFT, there is no maximum limit, enabling users to mint their NFTs at a higher price if they choose to do so.

Every NFT minted within a collection holds a percentage of stakes from the collection. The exact percentage of stakes assigned to each NFT is determined by the minting price and the value of the collection at the time of minting. This approach ensures that every participant, regardless of when they enter the collection, holds a proportionate share of the collection's value.

For example, if a user mints an NFT when the collection has already accrued rewards and increased in value, they would receive the same absolute value as early participants but a lower percentage of stakes. This mechanism allows for a dynamic distribution of ownership and ensures that latecomers have the opportunity to participate in the collection's growth while maintaining a proportional share.

Also, it gives flexibility to the collection owner to change price over time, as the current owners won't suffer penalties if the price is higher or lower.

With the unlimited minting price feature and the proportional stakes system, 721Fi creates a fair and inclusive environment where users can mint NFTs at their desired price point while ensuring a balanced distribution of ownership and value within the collection.

Reusing Burned NFTs

721Fi introduces an innovative concept that allows burned NFTs to be reused. When an NFT is burned, its unique characteristics and attributes are retained, enabling creators to resurrect or reissue those NFTs in the future. This concept opens up exciting possibilities for creators to reintroduce popular or special edition NFTs, breathe new life into their collections, and engage their community in unique ways.

Users who leave the collection won't harm the rest, not letting the collection die if people start to burn-to-withdraw.

These key aspects form the foundation of 721Fi, enhancing the economic value, liquidity, and sustainability of NFTs within the platform.

Fund your NFT

This feature allows NFT owners to increase their investment in their token and thus increase their percentage share in the project and future yield generation.

Withdraw your rewards

This feature allows NFT owners to individually withdraw both rewards they have generated so far through staking or excess of investment, leaving at minimum the underneath mint price value on the NFT. Their global stakes will be reduced according to the new investment. Penalties also apply during early withdrawals. This will depend on whether the underlying token does a rebase process or not, which may require using an Oracle.

Benefits of 721Fi
