A new NFT tech forge and a blockchain product suite

Announcing Visual Machina (VM), an innovative NFT protocol, a service, and NFT collection maker that empowers users with tools to realms of on-chain gamification, secure participation, and experience around the creation of NFTs. Featuring VM’s pilot NFT collection: Ghosted VM.

Fair List is an equal and secure answer to existing free mints, white lists

Whitelists are becoming insider experience with tiered-price getting risk-free NFT, public sales offer higher price tags and do require lots of tasks to get qualified for a mint.

NFT Creators are left out when well funded companies do NFT Mints to get user’s attention as a marketing spend write-off. Most are distributed as premints that do not give an equal start or share a secure experience.

Encrypted Proof enables secure participation

TL;DR: When you want secure participation but still need to verify it without showing the wallet address.

Participating in mint events or fulfilling mint list spot requirements to be eligible for NFT mint can be as challenging as the reward might be exciting but it tends to risk the user’s security while displaying an Ethereum address or amount of reward given in public. VM Encrypted Proof offers easy and secure registration with SHA-256 encryption based on a

Owning proof of participation is a key factor while maintaining basic security and making it easy to verify a user’s eligibility for a mint event.

Using the SHA256 hashing algorithm in combination with a random secret ensures
a privacy-preserving, and verifiable method for representing sensitive data, such as
an Ethereum wallet address, while maintaining data integrity and traceability, thus providing an effective solution for public data sharing and submission confirmation.
The use of a random secret enhances the security and privacy of the data by adding an additional layer of unpredictability, ensuring that the resulting hash is unique and resistant to brute-force attacks or reverse engineering, protecting sensitive information from being exposed.

When tweeted, an encrypted proof will get picked up during the Fair List snapshot period without displaying the user’s address.

Ghosted VM NFT Collection: Why now?

In the Era of paid verification, everyone unchecked is getting ghosted | shadow-banned by social algorithms, and later by their friends or followers due to the lack
of exposure they would normally receive across their social network.

Ghosted VM NFT: where collectors have an impact on the symbol, visuals, and rarity of the collection.

I want to thank Jack Butcher for creating an NFT Collection that tackles an important social issue with a symbol. Checks VV and Checks Originals will get included in the VM Selected NFT List for Access Granted Status (for more details read below).
