            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Welcome to Emblem Markets</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*b17qqtg-PXgvVLZ6QYXiSw.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://twitter.com/EmblemVault">Emblem Vault</a> is proud to announce the launch of <a href="https://www.emblem.markets/">Emblem Markets</a>, a chain-agnostic marketplace powered by Emblem Vault. Since its deployment on the Ethereum mainnet in September 2020, Emblem Vault has facilitated over $200 million in trading volume across 70,000 minted vaults, distributed among 17,000 unique owners and growing. Emblem Vault’s crosschain solution houses over $100 million in Total Value Vaulted (TVV), serving as the premier interoperability tool for UTXO-based assets like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Namecoin, Bellscoin, and more, enabling cross-blockchain movement.</p><p>Initially created in <a href="https://www.nfthistory.org/wiki/Emblem_Vault">2016</a> by <a href="https://twitter.com/shannonNullCode">Shannon Code</a>, Emblem Vault was envisioned as a means to trade a crypto wallet, thereby extending asset transferability beyond the bounds of virtual machine integrations. Today, Emblem Vault has introduced a third mechanism — Vaulting — that, alongside Bridging and Wrapping, is poised to lead the industry into a multichain future.</p><h3>What is Emblem Vault?</h3><p>Crosschain, multichain, and omnichain are key terms that describe the realm of crypto interoperability. These concepts center on enabling blockchains and their related assets to “exist” on other chains.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*qif5uxTguFnsbq3txgiH_g.png" /></figure><ol><li><strong>Bridging</strong> (2018): The process of transferring digital assets or data between blockchain networks, enabling interoperability. This typically involves locking assets on one chain while unlocking equivalent assets on another, facilitating seamless cross-chain transactions. Lock &amp; Mint</li><li><strong>Wrapping</strong> (2019): The process of tokenizing an asset from one blockchain on another, creating a “wrapped asset.” This wrapped asset represents the original asset but functions within the ecosystem of a different blockchain, enhancing interoperability and cross-chain functionality. Custody &amp; Mint</li><li><strong>Vaulting</strong> (2020): The process of securely encapsulating a digital asset within a vault, which can then be transferred or traded as a single entity, allowing enhanced cross-chain interoperability and simplifying the management and exchange of assets across different blockchain networks. Encrypt &amp; Mint</li></ol><p>Emblem Vault’s innovative approach to tokenizing a crypto wallet enables interaction with both UTXO-based blockchains (Bitcoin, Dogecoin, etc.) and smart contract-based blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, etc.), providing a unique interoperability protocol. This crosschain infrastructure allows Emblem to interact with NFTs seamlessly across blockchains, enabling cross-chain movements with just a few clicks.</p><h3>Why Emblem Markets?</h3><p>Emblem Markets’ approach to crosschain infrastructure is “chain-agnostic,” meaning technical decisions are abstracted away from the end user, while also allowing advanced users to customize the vaulting process. These key components differentiate a “native experience” from an “agnostic experience”:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*oXtI41QXnFEeXo8bBLPXEQ.png" /></figure><ul><li>Listing in a Cryptocurrency</li><li>Purchasing in a Cryptocurrency</li><li>Delivering Digital Assets on a Blockchain</li></ul><p><strong>Example 1:</strong> User A purchases NodeMonke #6969 for 0.5 BTC using their Xverse Wallet. User B receives 0.5 BTC upon transaction completion. User A receives NodeMonke once the mempool has finalized the transaction.</p><p><strong>Example 2: </strong>User A purchases Modemonke for 10 ETH using their Metamask. User B receives their 0.5 BTC upon purchase, as chosen for payment currency. User A receives Modemonke on Solana, leveraging Emblem Vault crosschain technology.</p><p>Example 1 is a native experience, while Example 2 is a chain-agnostic experience. The former leverages blockchain native tooling, while the latter leverages Emblem Vault crosschain tooling. This vision is what Emblem Markets is building towards.</p><h3>Components of Emblem Markets</h3><p>The crosschain digital asset management platform will house all Emblem Collections, Applications, Rewards, and My Vault.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Um0prZNiWTAsLfw39zXS6g.png" /></figure><ul><li><strong>Collections:</strong> Ethereum ERC721 and ERC1155 collections.</li><li><strong>Applications:</strong> Protocols, products, and platforms leveraging the Emblem SDK for crosschain projects, including Emblem and user-generated decentralized applications.</li><li><strong>Rewards:</strong> 𝐷𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑠 [𝑅𝑒𝑑𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑]</li><li><strong>My Vault:</strong> A hub for vault management and activity across all Emblem Vaults, with social media integrations and personalized features and upgrades.</li></ul><h3>Homepage</h3><p>The Emblem Markets homepage will highlight all the latest and trending information across the Emblem Vault ecosystem:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DzqJfQAy7lZ_KasOvOm0Og.png" /></figure><ul><li><strong>Recently Vaulted:</strong> This section showcases the newest assets that have entered the Emblem Vault ecosystem.</li><li><strong>Trending:</strong> Highlighting the collections with the highest 24-hour trading volume, this feature keeps users informed on what’s hot in the market.</li><li><strong>Recent Sales:</strong> This displays the most recent vault sales across all blockchains and marketplaces offering Emblem collections.</li><li><strong>Recent Listings:</strong> Here, users can find the latest vault listings across all blockchains and marketplaces offering Emblem collections.</li><li><strong>Recent Collections: </strong>This section features the newest Emblem collections deployed to Emblem Markets and other marketplaces offering Emblem collections.</li></ul><h3>Collections</h3><p>Discover all of the top Emblem collections alongside their time-weighted metrics.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*oTl-FzI8M4bgR5IJFrtUmA.png" /></figure><ul><li><strong>Collection:</strong> The name of the collection.</li><li><strong>Floor Price:</strong> The lowest valued listing price.</li><li><strong>Volume:</strong> The amount of liquidity flowing in a collection over a weighted time period.</li><li><strong>Volume Change:</strong> The percentage change in volume over a weighted time period.</li><li><strong>Vault Volume:</strong> The number of vaults minted over a weighted time period.</li><li><strong>Vault Change:</strong> The percentage change in vault volume over a weighted time period.</li><li><strong>Total Vaults:</strong> The total number of unique vaults in a collection.</li><li><strong>Sales:</strong> The number of unique sales over a weighted time period.</li><li><strong>Owners:</strong> The total number of unique owners in a collection.</li></ul><p>Emblem Markets provides a comprehensive overview of key statistics, helping users identify and track the performance of various Emblem collections, while supporting cross-chain interactions and enhancing the multichain ecosystem.</p><h3>Collections Page</h3><p>Dive into each collection and discover what it has to offer.

After months of internal deliberation and preparation, Emblem Vault is ready to migrate the entire <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/emblem-vault"><strong>Emblem Vault Legacy</strong></a> collection into individual <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/ethscriptions"><strong>ERC-721</strong></a> and <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/rare-pepe-curated"><strong>ERC-1155</strong></a> Curated Collections.</p><p>This endeavor has been a work in progress, both technically and socially, throughout Emblem Vault’s three-year history on Ethereum. The community has expressed their desire for this move, and the team at Emblem is taking all necessary measures to ensure a safe, secure, and seamless migration that will pave the way for the next chapter of a multi-chain future.</p><h3>Why the migration? Why move away from Emblem Vault Legacy?</h3><p>The Emblem Vault Legacy contract was initially deployed on <a href="https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x82c7a8f707110f5fbb16184a5933e9f78a34c6ab&amp;p=856"><strong>September 9th, 2020</strong></a>, and has since experienced a remarkable surge in utility and diverse use cases. Over nearly three years, the collection has expanded to encompass more than 50,000 Total ETH trades and has attracted over 12,000 unique users. This impressive growth has propelled it to become the <a href="https://nftgo.io/discover/top-collections?sort=volumeEth&amp;rank=41&amp;timeSpan=all"><strong>41st</strong></a> most traded NFT collection by volume and the <a href="https://nftgo.io/discover/top-collections?sort=holderNum&amp;rank=41&amp;timeSpan=all"><strong>48th</strong></a> largest single contract in terms of NFT ownership within the broader Ethereum ecosystem. The Emblem Vault Legacy collection boasts diverse communities from prominent blockchains such as <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/emblem-vault?search[stringTraits][0][name]=XCP&amp;search[stringTraits][0][values][0]=All%20XCP"><strong>Bitcoin</strong></a>, <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/emblem-vault?search[stringTraits][0][name]=LTC&amp;search[stringTraits][0][values][0]=All%20LTC"><strong>Litecoin</strong></a>, <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/emblem-vault?search[sortAscending]=false&amp;search[sortBy]=CREATED_DATE&amp;search[stringTraits][0][name]=XDP&amp;search[stringTraits][0][values][0]=All%20XDP"><strong>Dogecoin</strong></a>, <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/emblem-vault?search[sortAscending]=false&amp;search[sortBy]=CREATED_DATE&amp;search[stringTraits][0][name]=NMC&amp;search[stringTraits][0][values][0]=All%20NMC"><strong>Namecoin</strong></a>, and many others.</p><p>Throughout this rapid ascent, Emblem Vault has witnessed its vaults being utilized in various ways, exceeding even the most anticipated use cases. These include but are not limited to fractionalization, NFT borrowing and lending, metaverse galleries, Twitter-verified profile pictures (PFPs), NFT liquidity pools, protocol startups, and the increasingly popular use-case of on-chain liquidity.</p><p>As the community has grown, so has the demand for additional functionality specific to the requesting protocols. This necessitates that Emblem Vault enhances its security measures, introduces new smart contract features, and develops new products. However, given the immutable nature of the Emblem Vault Legacy contract, it has been unable to incorporate these new and upgradable aspects into its framework.</p><p>The remarkable growth of Emblem Vault aligns with the rapid expansion of the crypto industry, which has introduced new standards, protocols, and essential infrastructure components that are crucial for any scaling protocol to adopt. Regrettably, due to the immutability of the Emblem Vault Legacy contract, it has been unable to leverage these advancements.</p><h4>Issues with Emblem Vault Legacy Contract</h4><ul><li>Not upgradable</li><li>Not gas efficient</li><li>Inability to interact with new features</li><li>Scattered collections</li><li>Limited project discoverability on OpenSea</li><li>Prone to a variety of manipulative tactics by bad actors</li></ul><p>Recognizing the aforementioned limitations, the Emblem Vault team has decided to retire the Emblem Vault Legacy collection and preserve its cherished history for eternity. By efficiently migrating 99% of the supply to Curated Collections, Emblem Vault ushers in a new era of effective and innovative cross-blockchain trading.</p><p>This pivotal move acknowledges the evolving landscape of blockchain technology and embraces the potential for seamless transactions across different blockchain networks. By decentralizing the collection and offering Curated Collections tailored to specific communities, Emblem Vault is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to cross-chain trading, enabling users to experience unparalleled value exchange and engagement opportunities.</p><p>Emblem Vault’s unwavering commitment to progress and innovation drives this transformative decision. With an unwavering focus on user satisfaction, security, and forward-thinking strategies, Emblem Vault continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the NFT ecosystem. Stay tuned for further updates as Emblem Vault leads the charge into a future of limitless possibilities and unparalleled blockchain connectivity.</p><h3>So what are the Benefits of Migrating to Curated Collections?</h3><p>The benefits are many (listed below), but for the average collector, the principal benefit is that their asset will now be a part of a unique Curated Collection on Opensea.</p><p>This gives each collection (i.e. Rare Pepes, Bitcoin Punks) and each protocol (i.e. Counterparty, Bitcoin Stamps) a unique landing page on Opensea. A shared place for collectors to browse, discover, and purchase NFTs safely.</p><h3>Benefits of Migration</h3><ul><li>Free to users (Gas fees covered by Emblem)</li><li>Increased project discoverability</li><li>Increased protocol discoverability</li><li>Shared Creator Royalties</li><li>Vaulting payments in ETH</li><li>Increased smart contract security &amp; functionality</li><li>Ability to migrate from Protocol-based Curated Collection to Project-based Curated Collection</li><li>Integrations with planned increased decentralized Emblem Vault product</li><li>Project-specific API infrastructure</li><li>COVAL Discount system + future integrations</li></ul><p>When <a href="https://twitter.com/adamamcbride"><strong>Adam McBride</strong></a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/jakegallen_"> <strong>Jake Gallen</strong></a><strong> </strong>joined Emblem Vault on <a href="https://twitter.com/EmblemVault/status/1592572033413844993"><strong>November 1st, 2022</strong></a>, they shared the same compelling vision as the team, which was to enable the trading of NFTs from any blockchain on any blockchain, with <a href="https://emblem-vault.medium.com/the-power-of-emblem-vault-curated-collections-a4bb41851bdb"><strong>Curated Collections</strong></a> as the centerpiece of this transformative future. This marked the beginning of an eight-month development journey for Emblem Vault, dedicated to establishing an ecosystem capable of realizing this ambitious goal.</p><p>Curated Collections empower Emblem by allowing the application of smart contracts to any vaulted collection, transitioning it from a socially enforced standard to a technically enforced standard. This pivotal shift unlocks the aforementioned benefits and introduces groundbreaking possibilities. For the first time, non-EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) based collections gain the ability to interact with Turing-complete machines, opening doors to enhanced discoverability, liquidity, and increased options for creators to build upon.</p><p>So, what can we expect after a successful migration? Below, we outline the anticipated number of Curated Collections, the blockchain origins they represent, and estimates of their respective supply sizes.</p><h3>Protocol-based Curated Collections</h3><p><em>Blockchain | Estimated supply post migration</em></p><ul><li>Bitcoin Ordinals | 2,000</li><li>Bitcoin Stamps | 1,600</li><li>BRC-20 | 5,000</li><li>Counterparty | 4,000</li><li>Cursed Ordinals | 200</li><li>Dogeparty | 450</li><li>Emblem Vault Open (Multi-chain vaults) | 5,000</li><li>Ethscriptions | 6,000</li><li>Litecoin | 200</li><li>Monaparty | 100</li><li>Namecoin | 2,000</li><li>Solana | 20</li><li>Stacks | 40</li><li>Tezos | 20</li></ul><h3>Project-based Curated Collections</h3><p><em>Project | Blockchain | Estimated supply post migration</em></p><ul><li>Age of Chains | XCP | 200</li><li>Age of Rust | XCP | 10</li><li>.bit domains | NMC | 400</li><li>Bitcoin Punks | BTC Ordinals | 4,500</li><li>Bitcorn Crops | XCP | 300</li><li>Bitgirls | XCP | 40</li><li>Blockheads | NMC | 20</li><li>Fake Rares | XCP | 150</li><li>Filthy Fiat | BTC Ordinals | 300</li><li>Force of Will | XCP | 200</li><li>.ID Identities | NMC | 100</li><li>Litecoin Punks | LTC | 80</li><li>MegaPunks | Bitcoin Ordinals | 4,000</li><li>Memorychain | XCP | 400</li><li>Oasis Mining | XCP | 200</li><li>Punycodes | NMC | 600</li><li>Rare Pepe | XCP | 22,000</li><li>Sarutobi Island | XCP | 300</li><li>Spells of Genesis | XCP | 3,500</li><li>Twelvefold | BTC Ordinals | 30</li><li>Twitter Eggs | NMC | 100</li></ul><p>With an estimated 30–35 Curated Collections post-migration, Emblem Vault is poised to become the largest collection curator in the entire NFT space. However, the ultimate goal is not for Emblem Vault to manage all of these collections. Instead, this marks the initial step towards a more decentralized future.</p><p>Protocol-based Curated Collections offer diverse collections that allow any asset from a specific blockchain to be vaulted. This allows creators to bring their non-Ethereum native collections to the most liquid and efficient NFT market in the blockchain industry in a permissionless manner. Users have the freedom to enter and exit these collections at their discretion. Additionally, they can upload their project’s traits and related metadata to Emblem’s protocol GitHub repository, similar to the setup for <a href="https://github.com/EmblemCompany/EthscriptionMetadata"><strong>Ethscriptions</strong></a>. Should an individual collection amass a substantial user base, there will be an option to migrate and become a Project-based Curated Collection.</p><p>Project-based Curated Collections, on the other hand, are exclusive to a single individual collection. This category hosts the most prized, cherished, and significant projects from each blockchain. These collections will likely be highly valued by collectors and owned by some of the largest communities. When a collection attains this level of prominence, it is typically managed by a creator, team, or community. In such cases, Emblem can offer shared creator royalties to the curators of that project. It is important to note that context plays a crucial role, and the suitability of shared creator royalties will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Individual collections have the opportunity to be recognized on Ethereum NFT Marketplace leaderboards and are likely to garner support from our NFTFi protocol partners, further solidifying their position as focal points within the ecosystem.</p><p>Emblem Vault’s commitment to empowering creators and facilitating a decentralized future for NFTs shines through in these Curated Collection offerings. Soon, we embark on a journey that embraces diversity, innovation, and collaboration, setting new standards for the NFT industry and propelling it towards unprecedented heights.</p><h3>I hold some Emblem Vault Legacy vaults, what are my options?</h3><p>As an owner of a vault from the Emblem Vault Legacy collection, you have two options available to you:</p><p><strong>Option 1:</strong> Do Nothing. <br>By choosing to do nothing, Emblem Vault will automatically migrate your Emblem Vault Legacy vault to the specific Curated Collection that best matches its asset. This option incurs no cost to users, as Emblem Vault will cover all associated fees.</p><p><strong>Option 2:</strong> Unlock Your Emblem Vault Legacy vaults. <br>If you feel uncertain or uneasy about the migration process, we recommend unlocking your vaults and importing your assets into the wallet of your choice. You will have several weeks to consider these options leading up to the migration. Unlocking a vault does not involve any vaulting fees, but it does require a network fee, commonly called a gas fee.</p><p>If you are unsure how to “Unlock a Vault,” we encourage you to visit our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSFKZ82mnEvD5r1VoQ5pOzSsxXrniO6C0"><strong>Emblem Education</strong></a> section on YouTube. Here, we provide nearly 40 tutorial videos guiding you through unlocking assets from all supported blockchains into your preferred wallet.</p><p>We understand that the migration process may raise questions or concerns, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our comprehensive educational resources and user-friendly guides aim to ensure a seamless and empowering experience for all Emblem Vault users.</p><p>If you have additional questions, concerns, or issues unlocking a vault, please open a Support Ticket in our <a href="https://discord.gg/P7mfmbncNb">Discord</a>.</p><h3>How is this technically possible? I want to trust Emblem Vault, but I’m unsure what to do.</h3><p>We understand that the term “migration” may sound daunting. However, in the context of contract migration on the Ethereum blockchain, it is not an uncommon practice. Throughout Ethereum’s history, there have been notable instances of contract migration.</p><p>In 2016, <a href="https://twitter.com/etherid2015?lang=en"><strong>EtherID</strong></a> migrated from a V1 to a V2 contract. In 2017, Larva Labs airdropped V2 CryptoPunks to their users after discovering a <a href="https://twitter.com/seanbonner/status/1612578636212883456"><strong>bug</strong></a> in the V1 contract. In 2019,<strong> </strong><a href="https://medium.com/@brantly.eth/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-your-eth-name-to-the-new-ens-registrar-5314431e22f2"><strong>ENS</strong></a><strong> </strong>(Ethereum Name Service) migrated its assets from its 2017 contract.</p><p>More recently, we have witnessed examples of NFT migrations. DeGods migrated their original <a href="https://twitter.com/DeGodsNFT/status/1641976775239675905"><strong>DeGods </strong></a>collection from Solana to Ethereum and their <a href="https://decrypt.co/124887/at-least-37m-worth-of-y00ts-nfts-migrate-to-polygon-from-solana-in-one-day"><strong>y00ts</strong></a> collection from Solana to Polygon, utilizing a one-way bridge. <a href="https://twitter.com/truth/status/1649442682815791104"><strong>Truth Labs</strong></a> also migrated three collections (Goblintown, Illuminati, The 187) to new contracts, employing the airdrop model.</p><p>Various methods, including bridges and airdrops, can “migrate” users and assets to a new contract. In the case of Emblem Vault, we hold a unique position regarding migration since the method of vaulting is exclusive to Emblem Vault alone. As part of the migration process, we will be “airdropping” the user&#39;s new assets. Let us explain further what this entails, considering each vault contains a private key and unique asset(s) from a different blockchain.</p><p>At Emblem Vault, the security of your assets is of utmost importance. When a vault is created, the private keys associated with that vault are encrypted, sharded, and stored across multiple secure locations (you can read more about the process <a href="https://emblem-vault.gitbook.io/docs/deep-dive/how-its-done"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>)</strong>. This multi-layered approach ensures protection against malicious activities. To access the private keys, burning the NFT associated with the vault is necessary, providing an additional layer of security.</p><p>In line with our commitment to security, we want to emphasize that the wallet address containing your assets and private keys will remain unchanged during migration. You will not need to decrypt keys or change your wallet address.</p><p>Instead, what will occur is a transition of the vault or “shell” that encompasses the wallet address holding your assets. As new Curated Collection smart contracts are deployed, the wallet address associated with your Emblem Vault Legacy vault will be redirected to its new home, a Protocol or Project-based Curated Collection. As these new Curated Collections are introduced, the Emblem Vault Legacy vaults will be relabeled and gradually “migrated” away from the Emblem Vault Legacy contract.</p><p>Throughout the migration process, rest assured that your vault will maintain the same wallet address when moved from the Emblem Vault Legacy to the Curated Collection. Your assets and private keys will remain securely stored, ensuring continuity and security during the transition to the new Curated Collection.</p><p>Once the migration process is completed, users will receive their assets in a new Curated Collection vault, represented as an ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token.</p><p><em>It is crucial to understand that post-migration, Emblem Vault Legacy vaults </em><strong><em>will not</em></strong><em> be deleted; instead, they will continue to exist as empty vaults. It is essential to note that users should refrain from attempting to bid, purchase, or sell these empty vaults.</em></p><p>To prevent confusion or unintentional interactions, warnings will be prominently displayed to indicate that the Emblem Vault Legacy vaults are empty. These warnings will serve as a visual indicator that the assets have been migrated to the new Curated Collection vaults and that the Emblem Vault Legacy vaults no longer hold any assets.</p><p>We emphasize the importance of not engaging in any trading activities involving the empty Emblem Vault Legacy vaults to avoid any potential misunderstandings or complications. Our team is implementing measures to clearly indicate the status of the Emblem Vault Legacy vaults and ensure a seamless and transparent migration process for all users.</p><p>Should you have any doubts or questions regarding handling the Emblem Vault Legacy vaults or need further clarification on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our team. We are here to provide guidance and support throughout the migration process.</p><p>To facilitate a smooth transition, trading of Emblem Vault Legacy on NFT marketplaces will be frozen during migration. This measure ensures that the migration process can be executed without disruptions or conflicts arising from ongoing trading activities.</p><p>Furthermore, NFT dApps that have integrated Emblem Vault Legacy vaults within their protocols will also have vault functionality disabled. This ensures that the migration process can be carried out accurately and securely without interference from external applications.</p><p>Post-migration, NFT marketplaces and protocols will decide whether to indefinitely maintain the delisting or permanently freeze the Emblem Vault Legacy collection. While we cannot guarantee the availability of the Emblem Vault Legacy collection on these platforms, the migration process aims to enable the transition to the new Curated Collections and unlock a range of benefits for users regarding cross-blockchain trading and functionality.</p><p>Finally, Emblem Vault Legacy vaults locked in contracts will not be migrated. This applies to vaults locked in various contracts, including pools, escrow contracts, custom contracts, and other edge cases. Vaults locked in contracts have specific dependencies and may require additional considerations for migration.</p><p>If you have an Emblem Vault Legacy vault currently locked in a contract, we recommend reviewing the terms and conditions of the respective contracts to understand the implications and any necessary actions on your part. Our team can provide guidance and support if you require further assistance or have any specific inquiries about vaults locked in contracts.</p><h3>What Steps has Emblem Vault taken so far?</h3><p>Migration has been an internal conversation that has been debated for many months. We can ensure our community that proper research and coordination have been conducted before this announcement.</p><p>We contacted and spoke with Truth Labs and Nifty Labs about their experience with the Goblintown migration. That conversation has assisted us in understanding the proper procedures, communication, and coordination required for this process.</p><p>In addition, we have reached out to and/or spoken to these NFT Marketplaces and Protocols regarding freezing or delisting the Emblem Vault Legacy collection during the migration:</p><ul><li>OpenSea and OpenSea Pro (Trading Freeze)</li><li>Blur (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>Looks Rare (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>X2Y2 (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>Magic Eden (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>Rarible (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>OKX (No Response / DO NOT TRADE)</li><li>Coinbase NFT (No Response / DO NOT TRADE)</li><li>Uniswap NFT (Aggregator / DO NOT TRADE)</li><li>Ordinals Market (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>Rare Stamps (Paused Emblem Integration)</li><li>Arcade (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li><li>NFTfi (Emblem Legacy Delisted)</li></ul><p>If your vaults are locked in these protocols, they will not be partaking in the migration:</p><ul><li>Fractional.art</li><li>Unicly</li><li>Sudoswap</li></ul><p>Migration is more than just a technical feat; it also takes a large amount of business coordination. Protecting users is the highest priority, and ensuring bidding, listing, and auctions are not conducted during migration is pivotal.</p><p>If you are an NFT Marketplace or Protocol operator not listed above that utilizes the Emblem Vault Legacy collection within your platform, please get in<a href="https://twitter.com/EmblemVault"> touch with us</a>.</p><h3>So what happens after Migration?</h3><p>Upon completing the migration process, Emblem Vault is poised to embrace many cutting-edge technologies, products, features, and APIs. In addition to expanding our product suite, we are actively scaling our company by growing our development team and enhancing our business operations.</p><p>Users can expect upgraded and more efficient vaults that seamlessly integrate with other products in the blockchain space. Their assets will receive increased attention and enjoy improved discoverability displayed within a Curated Collection.</p><p>We are excited to embark on a journey of building in public and working closely with our community. We express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us since the inception of Emblem Vault, even back when the idea was first presented on a BitcoinTalk forum in <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1652345.0"><strong>2016</strong></a>.</p><p>We remain committed to transparency, collaboration, and innovation as we move forward. We invite our community to join us on this exciting path as we continue to shape the future of decentralized finance and NFTs.</p><p>Thank you for being a part of our journey.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*c9FmUJ5JgUMUBgUli-gvtg.png" /><figcaption>Emblem.Finance Preview</figcaption></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=8ec1572a2341" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

This can include the team who created the collection, rarity metrics, value, and/or links”</em></p><p><strong>EXAMPLE: </strong>Punk Donuts are a notorious donut gang from Donutropolis. Some of them now call the small town of Donutville their home and have since caused nothing but trouble for the local residents! Their loud music, fierce dogs and dangerous shenanigans are keeping Donutville’s law enforcement very busy!</p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click “<strong>Next</strong>” to move to additional vaulting steps.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6aGL0WaGyHpOGaP6TRejiQ.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click on “<strong>Choose File</strong>”.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Choose an jpeg, jpg, gif, or MP4 <strong>file from your computer.</strong></p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click “<strong>Create Vault</strong>”</p><p><strong>1)</strong> This is where your vaulted tokens will be displayed. Since the vault hasn’t been minted and tokens haven’t been sent to the vault yet, the vault will remain empty displaying “<strong>refreshing</strong>” until done so.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> This is reminder that you will be required to spend <strong>250 COVAL</strong> in order to mint the vault. COVAL can be purchased on Uniswap or Coinbase.</p><p>3) Click “<strong>Mint Vault</strong>”.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*qJxyzoC32MZEMse3.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click “<strong>Sign Message</strong>”.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Check <strong>Gas Fees</strong> and estimate the appropriate amount of gwei required measured against the amount of traffic on the Ethereum Network (this example is 13 gwei) You can <a href="https://ethgasstation.info/"><strong>EthGasStation.info</strong></a><strong> </strong>for help!</p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click “<strong>Confirm</strong>” to complete the transaction and mint your Emblem Vault.</p><h3>How to Send a Stacks NFT to your Vault</h3><p>Now that you have created a vault, you need to send your Stacks NFT to your Emblem Vault. Failure to do so in a timely fashion may get your vault flagged for removal.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jwkeBbTWuUPACXqXxfjTLw.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click “<strong>STX</strong>” under “Deposit Addresses” to view your Stacks wallet address.</p><p><strong>2) </strong>Click on your address under “<strong>STX Address</strong>” to copy your wallet address.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jaIdJNSvrICR62eGvTSH-w.png" /></figure><p>1) Open up <a href="https://gamma.io/"><strong>Gamma.io</strong></a><strong> </strong>and click “<strong>Send ”</strong>.</p><p>2) Paste in the copied <strong>STX Address</strong> from Emblem Vault into the “<strong>Stacks Address</strong>” tab.</p><p>3) Click “<strong>Send to</strong>” to finalize the transaction.</p><p>Now head back to your vault and click “<strong>Refresh Balance</strong>”. After a few minutes your NFT should display inside of the vault.

Within just a year of the cryptocurrencies creation, community members had the ability to create their own tokens that were secured by the Dogecoin network. This allowed early participants the ability to partake in early token innovation and experimentation.</p><p>The native currency of Dogeparty is <strong>XDP</strong>, which was created by sending Dogecoin to a “burn address” and in return would receive XDP. This is relevant because XDP is required to be spent in order to mint a new token on the platform. There are a variety of ways to acquire this currency including small exchanges, the native DEX, and dispensers.</p><p>The first token created on the platform is known as <a href="https://jpjanssen.com/timeline/dogeparty.html"><strong>LTBC</strong></a>, which was created to honor one of the Co-Founders of Dogeparty and creator of Let’s Talk Bitcoin!, <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamBLevine"><strong>Adam B. Levine</strong></a>. Although Dogeparty had a short run from 2014–2015 and then later revived in 2021, there are a handful of creators who have been crownd by the community as innovators and leaders including <a href="https://twitter.com/littleshibeOG"><strong>LittleShibe</strong></a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/DoggfatherCrew"><strong>Doggfather</strong></a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/spiller_crypto"><strong>Daniel Spiller</strong>.</a></p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F7k7CnYtjeOo&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7k7CnYtjeOo&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=google" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/c06d3745ea5ecece887079d02c5c6fa6/href">https://medium.com/media/c06d3745ea5ecece887079d02c5c6fa6/href</a></iframe><h3>What you Need to Buy a Dogeparty NFT</h3><p>Accessing the Dogeparty ecosystem is quite simple. You will need a handful of tools that are required to purchase and dispense tokens natively, which then can be Vaulted and sold on OpenSea or other EVM NFT Marketplaces.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0g8HkvXRcldspsG1m1rI6g.png" /></figure><p>To purchase Dogeparty NFTs you will need: <br><a href="https://dogeparty.net/wallets/"><strong>DogeWallet</strong></a> (Browser &amp; Desktop Wallet) <br><a href="https://dogeparty.xchain.io/"><strong>Dogeparty.Xchain</strong></a> (Block Explorer &amp; Marketplace) <br><strong>XDP</strong> (Native currency)</p><p>Now that you have all the tools, follow one of these step-by-step instructions to purchase your first Counterparty NFT.<br><a href="https://dp.university/"><strong>Dogeparty University Tutorials</strong></a></p><h3>How to Vault your Dogeparty NFTs</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Ei_p_g1L_7ayfliyjiOv6w.png" /></figure><p><strong>1) </strong>First, you’ll need ETH to pay for <strong>gas fees.</strong></p><p><strong>2)</strong> Second, Emblem requires <strong>250 $COVAL</strong> to mint a vault.</p><p><strong>3)</strong> If you don’t own any $COVAL tokens are available for purchase on <a href="https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap"><strong>Uniswap</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/"><strong>Coinbase</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>4)</strong> Now you’re ready! Click “<strong>Create</strong>” and let’s get started!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0-oMU4pRZfRKBh7lHuNRJw.png" /></figure><p><strong>1) </strong>Once the create tab is open click on “<strong>Next</strong>” to begin labeling your vault.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NzCOcXGvsoCKpJDnBr7dcQ.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Emblem Vault recommends the “<strong>Vault Name”</strong> to be established as so:</p><p>NAME OF ASSET (YEAR TOKEN WAS MINTED)| BLOCKCHAIN | SUPPLY</p><p><strong>EXAMPLE: </strong>JEDI<strong> </strong>(2014) | Dogeparty | 1/1000</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Emblem Vault recommends the “<strong>Vault Description”</strong> to be established as so:</p><p><em>“THIS TOKEN was created on THIS SPECIFIC DATE by ARTIST/CREATOR/TEAM and is a supply of TOTAL SUPPLY OF SPECIFIC TOKEN.”</em></p><p><em>“INPUT ANY RELEVANT FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TOKEN, PROJECT, TEAM, OR SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION HERE. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THAT CAN BE SHARED IN THE VAULT DESCRIPTION.”</em></p><p><strong>EXAMPLE: </strong>JEDI was created on August 13th, 2014 by LittleShibe (<a href="https://twitter.com/HnftPepe">https://twitter.com/rkgk_ac</a>) and is a total supply of 1000. The image was later added in January 2022. For more info about LittleShibe go to <a href="https://www.littleshibeog.com/">https://www.littleshibeog.com/</a>.</p><p>Dogeparty was created in August 2014, just 9 months after Counterparty has launched on Bitcoin. The platform initially had a short run as it shut down in 2015. During the 2021 NFT bull-run the Dogeparty Foundation came together to revive the platform and bring prosperity back to Dogecoin NFTs.</p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click “<strong>Next</strong>” to move to additional vaulting steps.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Wnvvr-Q1Cx84GnasliZcPA.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click on “<strong>Choose File</strong>”.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Choose an jpeg, jpg, gif, or MP4 <strong>file from your computer.</strong></p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click “<strong>Create Vault</strong>”</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fat4xGs3qE7UIA21hzop9g.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> You’ll now notice that the owner of the vault is <strong>0x0000</strong>.. which is what should be displayed. This means that the vault has been created but has yet to be minted on to the blockchain.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> This is where your vaulted tokens will be displayed. Since the vault hasn’t been minted and tokens haven’t been sent to the vault yet, the vault will remain empty displaying “<strong>refreshing</strong>” until done so.</p><p>3) Click “<strong>Mint Vault</strong>”.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Gjha7gMqkMz2FR3pA4iBBg.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click “<strong>Sign Message</strong>”.</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Check <strong>Gas Fees</strong> and estimate the appropriate amount of gwei required measured against the amount of traffic on the Ethereum Network (this example is 13 gwei) You can <a href="https://ethgasstation.info/"><strong>EthGasStation.info</strong></a><strong> </strong>for help!</p><p><strong>3)</strong> Click to “<strong>Confirm</strong>” the transaction and mint your Emblem Vault.</p><h3>Sending Dogeparty NFTs to your vault</h3><p>Now that you have created a vault, you need to send your Dogeparty NFT to the vault. Failure to do so may get your vault flagged for removal.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*YXSksUqQ-9UCfdhXPPsOkQ.png" /></figure><p><strong>1)</strong> Click “<strong>DOGE</strong>” under “Deposit Addresses” to view your Dogeparty wallet address.</p><p><strong>2) </strong>Click on your address under “<strong>DOGE Address</strong>” to copy your wallet address.</p><p><strong>Tip:</strong> Dogeparty is deployed on top of Dogecoin and both platforms share the same Dogecoin address.</p><p>Once your wallet address is copied head over to <strong>Dogewallet</strong> wallet of your choice. (<a href="https://dogeparty.net/wallets/">Web or Desktop</a>)</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cp_i-5I1r72tizHrLYyI7g.png" /></figure><p>1) Open up DogeWallet and click “<strong>Send Funds”</strong>.</p><p>2) Paste in the copied DOGE Address from Emblem Vault into the “<strong>Destination</strong>” tab.</p><p>3) Choose the matching NFT under “<strong>Token Name</strong>” to the Emblem Vault you created.</p><p>4) Choose the correct “<strong>Amount</strong>” of tokens to send.</p><p>5) Click “<strong>Send Funds</strong>”.</p><p>Now head back to your vault and click “<strong>Refresh Balance</strong>”. After a few minutes your NFT should display inside of the vault. Congrats, <strong>you have successfully vaulted</strong> your very own Dogeparty NFT!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*nwgfqPJkC8oNtP-qDVu5aw.png" /></figure><p><strong>Bonus Tip:</strong> If you have any plans to crack open the vault in the future to bring your asset back on-chain then we recommend also vaulting some $DOGE inside. This will save you an additional step if you plan to move your asset from it’s imported wallet to a different location.</p><h3>If you’d like to learn more about Emblem Vault checkout the links below:</h3><p><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/CircuitsOfValue">https://twitter.com/CircuitsOfValue</a></p><p><strong>Youtube: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHYE_QLk12tdG0eJFE-z4Ew">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHYE_QLk12tdG0eJFE-z4Ew</a></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://circuitsofvalue.com/">https://circuitsofvalue.com/</a></p><p><strong>Telegram:</strong> <a href="https://t.me/Coval_Chat">https://t.me/Coval_Chat</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b146c7ae7f14" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

They are not sorted into collections similar to Rare Pepes, Spells of Genesis, etc..</p><p>It is very important that as a potential buyer that you <strong>VERIFY </strong>the asset inside the vault is the specific NFT you are looking for. Emblem Vault is a permissionless product that allows users the ability to label assets at their discretion, as well as freely send any asset into their vault regardless of what has been labeled.
