You can add a Certificate of Authenticity either during the creation of the NFT or later. During the creation phase, select the option to add the certificate. If the NFT has already been created, access your dashboard, select the desired NFT, and generate the certificate from the detailed NFT page. This provides you with flexibility and control to ensure the authenticity of your digital asset at any time. Even if an NFT has been transferred to you, you can create the Certificate of Authenticity.

Sometimes, minting an NFT is not enough; various aspects may exist where a malicious actor or a force majeure technical malfunction does not provide immediate proof of ownership and authenticity of an NFT in one’s possession. For this reason, Maenoox provides users the opportunity to purchase a Certificate of Authenticity for NFTs created through its Smart Contract. This document contains all the information related to your NFT and "will be an identity card" that serves as tangible, immediate and exhaustive proof of what you own and will act as an element of legal enforceability in case of legal disputes or forensic assessments.

Every NFT created on Maenoox is paired with a set of original metadata and can include a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA). The distinctive feature of NFTs created on Maenoox is their dynamism: these dynamic NFTs (dNFTs) can update the metadata associated with the same NFT without the need to undergo a new minting process. This allows for the maintenance of information, providing greater control to creators and owners of NFTs.

Maenoox is open to all public projects that create value and respect the triad of DeFi (distribution, security, price). At launch, the protocol on which the NFTs will be placed is Ethereum Layer 1, its public mainnet ETH. But... stay tuned, soon much more is yet to come!

Forget about long registrations with countless forms and passwords! To access Maenoox and start leveraging all its capabilities, you just need a wallet address. Wallet creation and access control services are operated by third provider like Metamask. You need to interact with them at first, install the applicable extension, and connect your wallet or directly create it. After selecting the Login button, our access service will query Metamask, which will ask the user for a password, validate the account, and then the user dashboard will appear.

Metamask is one of the most popular browser extensions that functions as a cryptocurrency wallet. It allows users to manage private keys, send and receive Ethereum and ERC-20/721/1155 tokens, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from the browser.

• Installation: Download and install the Metamask extension for your browser.

• Configuration: Create a new wallet following the setup instructions or import an existing wallet.

• Connection: Once set up, open Metamask and connect to the Maenoox platform by selecting the Login button.

• Access: Metamask will ask for your password to confirm access, and once authenticated, you will access the user dashboard of Maenoox.

A wallet is a digital repository that holds all data and assets exchanged on a blockchain network, including NFTs. To register for Maenoox, you must have a wallet. If you don’t have one, we’ll show you how to obtain it with Metamask in a few simple steps.

Maenoox does not operate as a trading spot but as a minting and certification service for NFTs. However, you can sell or trade your NFTs on any marketplace, particularly the most popular one: OpenSea.

Maenoox represents all NFTs created by the user in the user dashboard, which can be analyzed in detail. The same NFTs can be viewed both within Metamask and in other external wallets. We encourage all users to become self-sufficient in using the assets contained in their wallets by following the tutorials available for each resource. If you need assistance, you can contact us at [email protected].

Supported extensions include: .mp4, .wmv, .avi, .mov, .mkv, .flv, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .gif, .bmp, .webp, .psd, .eps, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, .odt, .tex, .pages, .wma, .wav, .mp3, .aac.

Tools like cameras, webcams, mixers, PCs, AI, and other tools. Maenoox processes your content and showcases it once processed.

There is no aggregate limit for uploads, but each individual upload (whether a file or a folder) is limited to 31 GiB.

Once the purchase is made, you will have a long series of detailed information and key links to check every parameter related to the sale status of the item and the minting of the NFT on-chain.

During the NFT creation phase, you can add various NFTs and their corresponding Certificates of Authenticity to the cart. In the cart, you will find everything you have selected, including items "save for later." This system allows you to manage and finalize the purchase of multiple NFTs in a single transaction, simplifying the purchasing process and ensuring a smooth user experience.

In this section, you can view all the NFTs you have created or purchased, along with their corresponding Certificates of Authenticity. The dashboard in Maenoox provides a centralized interface to manage your digital assets, view details, download certificates, and monitor your collection.

To visualize the details of an NFT on Maenoox, log into your dashboard and select the desired NFT. This will take you to the detailed page of the NFT, where you can see all associated information, download the invoice and Certificate of Authenticity if available, and manage the visibility status of the NFT.

We do not store files. As we encourage the use of NFTs at the professional level, as well as a tool to support industrial processes, the size of our archives may be overwhelmed in short and also centralizing the storage will drive far from Web3 philosophy. Moreover it can pose a vulnerability point in terms of cyber security. Definitely, Menoox is not conceived as a file repository. Copies of the files matched to the NFT in the minting process are stored in the distributed IPFS storage, and can always be retrieved from there, either unencrypted or password-protected if the file has been encrypted.

On Maenoox, you can easily create NFTs for third parties. When creating the NFT, simply select the option to create for third parties and enter the recipient's wallet address. This allows you to generate and transfer the NFT directly to the appointed owner.

For any issues encountered with your account or your NFT, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service at [email protected]

Maenoox allows the creation and visualization of NFTs generated from digital files of any format. In a simple and immediate way, users can upload, describe, protect with a license (e.g. Creative Commons), and mint an NFT. NFTs can be viewed in the site's gallery and traded/sold on major Ethereum marketplaces. Maenoox also allows users to download the Certificates of Authenticity of the NFTs, demonstrating ownership and detailed characteristics preserved in the reference blockchains. Maenoox already implemented the DNFTs, but its functions will be delivered to production following an operational timeline, which we will announce furtherly. As dynamic NFTs, even a new owner of a mint NFT on Maenoox can obtain an updated Certificate of Authenticity at any time.

Maenoox uses the Vanilla Minting method, differentiating itself from the more commonly used Lazy Minting method. This approach allows for the immediate generation of the NFT, which becomes available to the user right after purchase, without waiting for a buyer. This eliminates the risks associated with the centralized storage of digital files. Once the file is uploaded and payment is completed, the minting of the NFT token is initiated, and the token is placed directly in the user's wallet. The Certificate of Authenticity, if purchased, is immediately available for download, and the purchase invoice is always accessible in the dedicated section

Blockchain is a technology based on distribution, opposed to centralisation and profoundly different from decentralisation. As a result, network participants are effectively distributed over the entire planet. Many protocols, especially the open and global ones, are participated in by contributors from any region of the planet. However, while each state makes the use of blockchain available, it also regulates aspects of its effectiveness, including legal recognition. Find out about the rules in your country before and after using Maenoox.

The right to be forgotten upon your request will include the deletion of all references in Maenoox that can be traced back to your activities. To exercise the right, you can click the delete account button in the settings section found in the Dashboard.

Check the laws in your country to find out if you can use Maenoox to create your NFTs.

Since NFTs are a good that is acquired immediately, entirely and irreversibly consumed by the user, this does not make it possible to exchange or return them. Make sure you have carefully considered each new mint.

Maenoox uses wallet identification, which means that no sensitive user data is required. Nor are any other types of personal information required at mint. Parameter assignments such as ‘Owner’, ‘Author’ and ‘alias’ are at the user's choice and it is possible to encrypt all uploaded files. To ensure the service, we could ask for some information during specific processes. Your personal data can be required with the aim to ensure the mint service and the following invoice as the Law's disposals. We never collect any kind of payment data and you can also decide to store the personal information on our address list or not. Even at the level of cookies and data storage, we have applied the most secure policies and our database is encrypted. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

Metadata is defined as the data providing information about one or more aspects of the data; it is used to summarize basic information about data that can make tracking and working with specific data easier. Metadata (metacontent) or, more correctly, the vocabularies used to assemble metadata statements, is typically structured according to a standardized concept using a well-defined metadata scheme, including metadata standards and metadata models. Tools such as controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri, data dictionaries, and metadata registries can be used to apply further standardization to the metadata. Structural metadata commonality is also of paramount importance in data model development and in database design. NFTs and DNFTs have the inherent capacity to store potentially unlimited sets of metadata within them.

The Creative Commons License is a type of legal license that allows copyright holders to grant the public a set of specific permissions for using their creative works. It is an alternative to traditional copyright laws, which tend to provide strict and restrictive protections. Creative Commons licenses offer a flexible framework for sharing creative works, allowing creators to specify the conditions under which others can use, distribute, modify, or build on a work. There are various combinations of permissions that copyright holders can choose when applying a Creative Commons license to their work. These combinations are represented by symbols and abbreviations:

- Attribution (BY): The work can be used, distributed, or modified as long as attribution is given to the original author. - ShareAlike (SA): The work can be modified or used only if distributed under the same license or a similar one. - NonCommercial (NC): The work can be used or modified only for non-commercial purposes. - NoDerivatives (ND): The work can be used or distributed only in its original form, without making changes or creating derivative works.

Through these combinations of permissions, Creative Commons licenses allow creators to balance the protection of their copyright with the desire to share, collaborate, and enable broader use of their works by the public. Creative Commons licenses are used in a variety of contexts, including texts, images, music, videos, and more. They enable authors to facilitate the sharing of their works, promote a culture of open access to knowledge, and stimulate creative collaboration in the digital society.

During the creation of a new NFT, you will be asked if you want to include a license. You can choose from a series of digital open-source licenses in public domain format, and if you have a proprietary license, you can easily upload it.

The SPDX License List is an integral part of the SPDX Specification. The SPDX License List is a list of commonly used licenses and exceptions in free and open-source software, data, hardware, or documentation. The SPDX License List includes a standardized short identifier, full name, license text, and a permanent canonical URL for each license and exception. The purpose of the SPDX License List is to enable efficient and reliable identification of such licenses and exceptions in an SPDX document, in source files, or elsewhere.

By selecting the appropriate option dedicated to custom licenses in the licenses section during the NFT creation phase, you can upload the license file. I file devono essere caricati solo in formato archivio e compressione. So: 7z, ACE, ARC, Arj, Cabinet, cfs, cpt, DGCA, .dmg, GCA, kgb, LHA, LZX, PEA, qda, RAR, rzip, sit, SQX, UDA, Xar, zoo, ZIP

Indeed, among the metadata of Maenoox NFTs, there is also the "license" field that allows you to insert a corresponding value. A license can be useful or sometimes necessary, and the blockchain will forever determine its combination with the associated file.

NFTs minted by Maenoox are delivered to the buyer's wallet. The metadata is stored directly on the Ethereum Layer 1 blockchain, while the file is stored on IPFS. Once the user obtains the NFT, they must take care of it, preferably using cold storage for increased security. Security and responsibility come first!

You can scroll through the showcase on the homepage of maenoox.com or search for works in the Explore section. In your dashboard, you will see all the works you have created. By selecting the card, you can observe all the details.

By selecting the appropriate button overlay on the artwork icon, you can make it visible only to you. If it was in the gallery, it will disappear from there. You can always change the setting at any time. Already during creation, you can decide whether to make it visible or not.

The actual and complete creation of an NFT occurs at the moment immediately following the approval of the purchase transaction.

When you mint an NFT on Maenoox, you purchase a digital asset contained in the blockchain and including metadata. You can also separately purchase a Certificate of Authenticity. If you become the new owner of an NFT token minted on Maenoox but purchased elsewhere (e.g. a marketplace), you can obtain the updated Certificate of Authenticity.

To receive an NFT, it is sufficient to have an active wallet. If you don’t have one, we will explain how to create it.

When we talk about an NFT, we refer to a set of information attached to the digital object that describes it and makes it unique. Maenoox transforms the bytes of the digital file into a unique string, embedding it in the metadata payload. This means that the NFT will contain precise information about the individual object, always verifiable through specific checks.

Maenoox offers the "save for later" functionality, which allows you to add NFTs to a list of items to purchase later. When you decide to complete the purchase, you can move the saved products to the cart and proceed with payment. This allows you to plan and manage your purchases according to your needs.

By creating an NFT, you can assign a series of information that characterizes its uniqueness, ownership, and author through its personal identifying trait. Additionally, you can choose to subject your NFT to a usage license, also you can encrypt the file paired to it.

But, as the name suggests, dynamic NFTs have a series of additional features not offered by static NFTs. In short, they are programmed to be more dynamic. The smart contract plays a key role in allowing the modification of the attributes of the dynamic NFT. To change, the NFT needs external data. (fuori blockchain). When they are minted, they are linked to a set of metadata, but unlike regular NFTs, these can be modified if necessary. Dynamic and static NFTs both have solid use cases, although the former may surpass the latter in many scenarios.

They are distinguished from Fungible Tokens because the latter can be converted into something else, whether it is a functionality or computational power. NFTs are structured like an archive, identified by a hash, which links to a digital file and contains a set of accompanying information called metadata.

To purchase on Maenoox, you do not need to be a cryptoeconomy trader: just a credit card, and we’ll take care of the rest! All purchases are made securely through the Stripe platform.

During the purchase process, some billing information will be requested. You will have the option to choose whether you act as a private user or a company. Each choice will require you to fill in specific fields with billing information.

Based on the type of user and nationality (EU or non-EU), you may or may not have to pay value-added tax. Consequently, billing will be available or not according to what is established by Italian and international tax laws.

The invoice will be automatically generated upon completion of the payment, sent by email and will always both sent via email and available in your dashboard for easy downloading.

When purchasing, you will be asked to fill in the purchase data by choosing between natural person or legal person. This will result, if you opt to purchase as a legal person, in the possibility of receiving a tax invoice, useful for VAT purposes, the amount of which will be included if you have your registered office in Italy. If you purchase as a natural person, the amount will always include VAT and an ordinary receipt will be generated. So if you are a professional, you can always choose to use Maenoox according to the purpose you consider most appropriate.
