We Are Number One

#1 - Past, Present, Future.

This Is Number One are the team behind the worlds first ever curated Bitcoin NFT Marketplace. The platform launched on the Stacks network in early 2021 with a host of internationally recognised global superstars like Fatboy Slim, Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Orbital.

This Is Number One sold the first ever commercial Stacks Bitcoin NFT in July 2021 which was a collaboration between the artist Chemical X and model Cara Delevingne.

The pioneering spirit of This Is Number One endures to this day and the team continues to focus on, if not beyond, the boundaries of what is possible to achieve with Stacks Bitcoin NFTs in both today’s and tomorrow’s worlds.

#1 are currently working with a multitude of new artists, musicians, creators and other non creative innovators helping them to improve on existing Web2 products or applications, identifying innovative new ways to utilise the magic of NFT technology for content producers and their audiences alike.

Through our ongoing support and consultations we aim to build bridges for global names with large fanbases who might otherwise be turned off by the unfamiliar technical and administrative processes involved with creating successful NFT collections. It is through this very hands-on approach with our artists that we aim to bring more big names to the network to further grow the global profile of Stacks faster than ever before.

How Does It Work?

This is Number One will be an onboarding bridge for new artists coming to Stacks, particularly those with large followings or complex collections who need bespoke services to get their collections or utility tokens to market.

We will provide gallery services for artists with collections that are ready to launch as well as giving new artists access to our own algorithm to help them generate new collections.

A more bespoke consultancy service for the bigger projects will help with additional 3rd party elements like Discord communities, dedicated websites or even cross chain utility for their NFTs.

 

What Is Stacks?

Stacks is Bitcoins first gateway to smart contracts.

Previously exclusively the domain of Ethereum and it’s layer 2s. Stacks was the first ever cryptocurrency to get SEC approval for its token and unlike nearly all other existing tokens can never be labelled as an unlicensed security. It is also the first and only token to pay its stakeholders or stakers (stackers as they are called in the network) in Bitcoin rather than magic layer 2 tokens. Stacks and Bitcoin also share the same private key algorithm which means that every Bitcoin private key can also generate its user a Stacks wallet with no new security requirements or new passphrase to remember.

 

Gamma

Gamma is THE open marketplace for Bitcoin NFTs, powered by Stacks.

The  new partnership with Gamma.io brings with it a team of technical wizardry powering future #1 smart contracts which in turn allows #1 to assign more resources to the process of introducing and onboarding new big name artists and creators to the stacks network, which is what we are good at!

What the FAQ?

What is an NFT?

An NFT (or non-fungible token) is a unique digital item secured by blockchains. Since each NFT is unique and distinct from another, they are quite different from traditional cryptocurrency tokens which are like-for-like (or, fungible) with one another.

There are countless practical applications for NFTs, most commonly the sale and transfer of digital works and other collectibles like artwork, songs, videos, game tokens, and more.

What is a Collection?

An NFT collection is a group of NFTs following a story arc or over-arching them, and often involves content evolution. A collection can be made up of one or multiple drops, and an artist can release multiple collections over time.

What is a Drop?

An NFT drop is simply the release or launch of an NFT collection. When a collection “drops”, it’s generally the time and date the NFT minting happens and becomes available to the public. Since scarcity equals value, collectors often watch for upcoming drops in order to be the first to purchase.

What is Minting?

Minting generally means something is produced for the first time or made official, like minting a coin. In the crypto world, it has a similar meaning, but the process is a little different.

Minting, in regards to NFTs, is the process of taking a digital asset and converting the digital file into a digital asset stored on the blockchain. Making it officially a commodity that can be bought and sold.

There are usually a limited number, or “editions” that can be minted.

What is a Smart Contract?

A smart contract is code that gives programmatic ability to the blockchain. A contract can be initiated by two parties and executed automatically once certain predetermined requirements have been met.

For NFTs, this means things like royalty payments and license terms can be coded into the digital assets themselves during the minting process.

What is Blockchain?

A Blockchain is a secure and transparent record-keeping mechanism that is able to exist without the use of intermediaries thanks to its decentralized nature by recording information on a network of computers, and through cryptography can be verified to only contain true events.

For NFTs, Blockchain technology means that you can confidently share and show off your NFT online while maintaining ownership rights that can be easily verified.

What is a Crypto Wallet?

Crypto wallets keep your private keys – the passwords that give you access to your cryptocurrencies – safe and accessible, allowing you to send and receive cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Unlike a normal wallet, which can hold actual cash, crypto wallets technically don’t store your crypto. Your holdings live on the blockchain, but can only be accessed using a private key. Your keys prove your ownership of your digital money and allow you to make transactions. If you lose your private keys, you lose access to your money. That’s why it’s important to keep your hardware wallet safe, or use a trusted wallet provider.

While we have no explicit affiliation with Hiro, we recommend using the Hiro wallet extension for the best experience. You can download the Hiro wallet at hiro.so/wallet.

How can I get started buying NFTs on Gamma.io?

Buying your first NFT might sound intimidating, but it can be an exciting experience, too! If you’re new to NFTs on Stacks and Bitcoin, you may need to follow a couple of steps to first obtain Stacks (STX) cryptocurrency, which is used to purchase NFTs on Gamma.io.

Most simply put, you need to connect a supported digital wallet extension to Gamma.io ti allow usage of your wallet’s cryptocurrency for the purchase of an NFT.
