III. Web 3.0, Digital Collectibles & NFTs

Detailed information about Web 3.0 and digital collectibles.

Web 3.0

What is Web 3.0?

Dropdown arrow
Web 3.0 is the term used to refer to the next generation of the Internet, often identified as the immersive and user-controlled Internet.

The main innovation of Web 3.0 is the concept of digital ownership, where users have more control and ownership over their digital assets. This ownership is guaranteed through technologies such as blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Web3 digital wallets.

In addition to digital ownership, Web3 also encompasses the interconnection of experiences between the physical and digital worlds, such as the Metaverse, Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

In summary, Web3 is a paradigm shift on the Internet that increases user ownership and utilization of digital assets, as well as the ability to create more immersive experiences that bridge the physical and digital realms.

What is a Blockchain?

Dropdown arrow
A blockchain is a decentralized network and database that allows storing information related to transactions and digital assets. It cannot be falsified or modified. The decentralized nature means that no single entity fully controls the network, providing users with greater control over their digital assets.

What are NFTs?

Dropdown arrow
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are digital assets registered on blockchains that can represent artworks, collectible items, in-game items, and even virtual properties. When someone purchases or creates an NFT, they receive a digital certificate of ownership stored on the blockchain. This certificate serves as proof of authenticity and establishes exclusive control over that particular asset. NFTs can also be transferred, traded, or gifted if the owner chooses to do so.

The authenticity and ownership of NFTs are fully guaranteed by the blockchain, preventing counterfeiting or tampering.

What is a Web3 Digital Wallet?

Dropdown arrow
A Web3 Digital Wallet is software that allows users to store and interact with their digital assets and NFTs. It is protected by private access keys that only the wallet holder has. Only those who have access to the digital wallet can utilize the digital assets stored within it.

The most well-known digital wallet is Metamask, which can be downloaded from here: https://metamask.io/

Digital Collectibles & NFTs

What is an NFT Digital Collectible?

Dropdown arrow
NFT Digital Collectibles are digital products released in limited editions to celebrate moments, events, and historical occurrences. They can be represented by an image, a video, or a 3D virtual item.

Digital collectibles are registered as NFTs on the Polygon blockchain to ensure their authenticity and veracity. The blockchain technology verifies the ownership record of the product and prevents counterfeiting, making it perfect for launching official and authenticated digital products from the club.

What is the difference between a Digital Collectible NFT and an image or video file?

Dropdown arrow
A diferença fundamental entre um ficheiro de imagem/vídeo e um Colecionável Digital NFT é que o último não pode ser replicado e duplicado, sendo digitalmente único. Para além disso, um NFT tem metadados digitais que contém conteúdos adicionais, e fornecem uma prova de propriedade e autenticidade.

As digital tokens, they also possess other properties: they can serve as entry tokens to events or different virtual environments, grant access to exclusive benefits, be transferred, traded, or gifted, and shared on social media platforms.

Why do Digital Collectibles hold value for a fan?

Dropdown arrow
Digital collectibles have unique properties that make them valuable to passionate and active fans in the digital world:

1) Authenticated products - Blockchain technology ensures the originality and ownership of the products. This confers a special and unique value to any member or fan, knowing they will own an exclusive and legitimate collector's item with no other copies.

2) Scarcity and rarity - Most digital collectibles are released in limited editions, meaning only a finite number of copies are made available. Rare and hard-to-find items can be particularly valuable among collectors.

3) Access to exclusive benefits and offers - Often, digital collectibles come with exclusive benefits and offers that only the owners of those collectibles can access. These benefits may include event tickets, product discounts, exclusive experiences, and more.

4) Fostering a collector community - Digital collectibles create a community of fans who share similar interests and passions for collecting and have an emotional connection to the club. The opportunity to interact with other collectors contributes to the emotional value of digital collectibles.

5) Displaying fan pride in the digital world - Collectibles are the best digital representation of a fan's pride and passion. They represent a special memory of a unique and unforgettable moment and can be shared in the digital world, whether on social media, in activities and games, or even in the Metaverse and virtual environments.

Blockchain Environmental Impact

What is the energy and environmental impact of digital collectibles and the Mystery Box?

Dropdown arrow
The Benfica digital collectibles have no energy or environmental impact.

This issue was one of the most important factors that led to the choice of the Polygon network as the blockchain option. The Polygon network is a low-energy-cost blockchain, specially optimized for high-consumption applications. Compared to the energy consumption of networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum, the energy consumption of the Polygon network is considerably lower.

Additionally, the Polygon Labs Foundation has announced its own manifesto aiming to be Carbon-Neutral and eventually Carbon-Negative. You can read more about the manifesto here: https://polygon.technology/blog/our-green-manifesto
