Once you have successfully burned your databits and creature tokens, the next step is to mint your creature tokens into NFTs on the Solana blockchain. The mint functionality will only work if you have burned the Counterparty creature tokens.

Different Creature Tokens

There are five different types of creature tokens. Each type has its own minting postal address you will need to visit to conduct the minting process in order to curate your NFTs.

• Rookie – https://claim.rookie.augmentorsgame.com/
• Champion – https://claim.champion.augmentorsgame.com/
• Ultimate – https://claim.ultimate.augmentorsgame.com/
• Hero Villain – https://claim.herovillain.augmentorsgame.com/
• God – https://claim.god.augmentorsgame.com/

How to mint your NFTs:

• Select Wallet

• Connect your wallet
• A Civic CAPTCHA Pass will pop up. This is a human check to ensure a bot is not trying to mint the NFT. You will need to agree to the Terms and Conditions and confirm you are not a robot. It will show you how much your transaction will cost; then you will be required to sign the transaction.
• Once the Civic CAPTCHA Pass step is completed, the “Mint” button will be highlighted and you are able to select it.

• Next, you will be given a “Confirm Transaction” prompt that you will need to confirm in order to proceed.

• Once confirmed, the system will finalise your transaction(s). This step may take a few seconds to complete.

• Upon successful finalisation, your NFT will be minted and displayed on the webpage.

To initiate the migration of your Databits and creature tokens from Counterparty to Solana, you are required to follow a three-step migration process. Below is a detailed guide to help you through each step.

The Augmentors NFT project aims to reissue the game creatures as NFTs on the Solana blockchain. 

Original supporters of the game, who bought a limited number of creatures in various classes ranging from champion to god as part of the Databits ICO, will be able to claim their in-game creatures as NFTs on Solana.

The original Databits will be burnt, providing those owners with an allocation in a smart contract. This contract will receive royalties from any secondary market sales of the NFTs.

Based on the amount of interest from the community, we may also consider open-sourcing the original game to let the community continue development of the game. We may also release the 3D models as additional NFT collections.

Augmentors was one of the first blockchain-based games with the idea that users could own their digital assets. Fortunately, NFT standards and usage, blockchain gaming and play-to-earn economies have matured since Augmentors launched in 2017.

Due to the game’s historical significance, the Augmentors project was re-launched to enable original game supporters who bought Databits and/or a limited number of creatures in various classes, ranging from Champion to God, to recover some of their original contributions to the project.

Previous contributors can now own a piece of this digital history with a stake in a smart contract and creature NFTs that are now Solana-based collectibles with provenance all the way back to 2017 on Counterparty.

The  Augmentors game will always be remembered for its forward-thinking vision. Before NFTs saw widespread adoption, the founders and original investors of the Augmentors game believed that users could own their game characters and build a blockchain-based game economy around those assets.

However, NFT standards were not well developed at the time and the game was not able to bootstrap its game economy with the early smart contracts available at the time.  After years of hard work, all game development stopped and the studio was shut down, however we saved the in-game creature artwork.

To be announced. First step is to give the creatures back to the original owners.

To replace your Databits with a stake in a smart contract on Solana, we need proof that your Databits have been sent to a burn address. That is a requirement to qualify for a stake in the smart contract.

The burning of your Databits results in you owning a percentage share of a smart contract that accrues royalties from the sale of the NFTs on secondary markets. Royalties are paid out to holders of this smart contract. But first, the smart contract will reimburse the cost of this project before royalties are paid out to all holders. Once reimbursed, the smart contract will switch to pay royalties to those users who burnt their Databits, in perpetuity.

Newtown Partners and other investors in Augmentors are funding the project in an effort to return some value back to the original Augmentors community. None of the assets are being sold – they are merely being delivered to the original token sale participants. The funding will cover the migration of the project from Databits to Solana, and the NFT issuance for approximately $150k. 

Nona Digital is completing this work as the technical vendor. The royalties from any secondary market transactions will first go towards reimbursing this cost. 

As original Databits investors, Newtown Partners will also hold a proportionate stake in the Augmentors organization. 

The smart contract will first pay all royalties to a wallet held by Newtown Partners. When $150,000 (or 1500 SOL, using a static $100 per SOL price estimate) has been repaid to this wallet, the smart contract will trigger to stop paying to that wallet. Any subsequent secondary market sales of Augmentors NFTs will pay royalties to users who burnt their Databits (in proportion to their allocation). 

Newtown Partners can turn the trigger off at any point, should the price of Solana exceed $100 in the future.

We contracted a dev team to build the verification tooling and burn mechanism. Given that Augmentors was originally on Counterparty, this meant that a lot of work was custom designed to port everything over to Solana. The NFT issuance also required additional work in Rust. In addition, the smart contract is getting audited by Certik, a notable auditor.  

This will be burnt alongside other Databits holders. The allocations in the smart contract will be allocated proportionally to the original Augmentors shareholders. 

Yes. The project will be audited by Certik prior to launch.

Counterparty was used originally as NFTs and the ERC-721 standard was not around at the time of Augmentors. As the space has developed, the Bitcoin blockchain and Counterparty are not fit for purpose. Furthermore we believe that Solana is a highly performant chain which will allow an open-source blockchain-based game such as Augmentors to thrive.

Follow the updated instructions to burn your databits here.

Our system will automatically pick up when you send your Databits to the burn address and generate your percentage stake in the smart contract. Your stake in the contract will keep changing during the claim period according to the number of Databits being burnt.
