Burn Island 9 Kicks Off VeeFriends Scene Swap with Notable Artist, Terrell Jones’ Exclusive “The Second Voyage”

From the core of Burn Island, a gentle rumble from burning magma offers the message for Eruption 9 for all to see… “BURN TO SWAPPP.” In the first of this brand-new Eruption format, JAS BOOK GAMES tokens will unlock the possibilities of SCENE SWAP Series 2 tokens on August 29th at 12 PM EDT — an opportunity to trade the familiar for the fresh.

For official rules and terms, please review here.

Burn Island Eruption 9: Scene Swaps

Burn Island Eruption 9 is introducing a hotter-than-lava reward to reshape the destiny of your VeeFriends token through Scene Swaps! This exciting mechanism empowers eligible VeeFriends holders to transform their tokens into unique collectibles featuring scenes designed by notable partners, brands, cultural entities, and renowned artists. These immersive backgrounds will adorn VeeFriends Series 2 tokens, adding an extra layer of individuality and excitement.

VeeFriends Series 2 tokens are each uniquely 1/1 artwork by design and this will remain true as new scenes are introduced to the VeeFriends universe. We implemented technical parameters to ensure no duplicates of a character, scene, or pose exist, allowing ALL VeeFriends Series 2 tokens to remain true 1-of-1s.

These swaps will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. When you complete your burn and select a specific pose/character combo, you’ll secure your spot for swapping to the new scene.

Note: With all Series 2 Gift Goats having the same scene and only two poses, they are all inherently 1-of-1s due to the unique number on their tag. With this in mind, Series 2 Gift Goats do not need a character/pose parameter in place as their 1-of-1 nature is inherent and won’t be affected by Scene Swaps.

First Scene Swap Artist: Terrell Jones

For Eruption 9, VeeFriends is thrilled to feature artist Terrell Jones! Renowned for his dynamic and innovative approach to visual storytelling, Terrell has captured the attention of digital art enthusiasts with his distinctive style, often described as a fusion of Pop-Precisionism. Terrell Jones brings a unique blend of talent, dedication, and innovation, marking this collaboration an exciting FIRST in Burn Island history.

In case you missed it, GaryVee sat down with Terrell Jones to chat about his journey as an artist and his process of creating an exclusive scene for VeeFriends. Listen to the recording HERE

What is Burn Island?

Burn Island is a platform that lets VeeFriends holders turn their NFTs into possible physical or virtual prizes using deflationary technology. Each “Eruption” offers unique rewards and NFT burn requirements, unlocking endless possibilities for holders.

What is a Scene Swap?

Scene Swaps are a unique way to transform your VeeFriends Series 2 token(s) artwork by changing the background scene through Burn Island. VeeFriends will collaborate with various artists and brands to create exclusive Series 2 Scenes, allowing Eruption participants to alter the appearance and metadata of their tokens permanently.

*It’s important to note that your Series 2 NFT will NOT be burned. You will, at times, be required to burn a different VeeFriends token such as BOOK GAMES, or other eligibility requirements, while some swaps may not require a burn to change your existing Series 2 NFT Scene and related metadata properties information. The choice of change falls within your hands, you choose your own destiny. If you do not participate in Burn Island “Scene Swaps,” no metadata altering will happen, and your Series 2 NFT will remain in its original state.

How to Scene Swap

Scene Swap is an incredibly easy process, just follow the steps below and you should have no issue with the lava flow of metadata changes that will occur:

1. Begin by accessing Burn Island at https://veefriends.com/burn-island

2. Verify your eligibility by logging into your account and clicking “Check Eligibility”

3. If you qualify, you will receive a prompt to proceed to the next steps, click “Proceed”

4. Choose the token(s) you wish to burn and acknowledge the Terms and Conditions

5. Handpick your eligible Series 2 Tokens for Scene Swap!

6. After you make your selection, you will be redirected to a ‘Preview Page’ where you will be able to see the potential final products of your burn-scene swap — click ‘Accept’ if you are satisfied with the changes you are about to make to your token backgrounds.

7. Finally, confirm and execute the token burn

Please Note: One swap will be available for each unique character pose. Holders of the same character can only swap if their pose differs from those already swapped. Tokens that have already had their combo pose/background swapped will appear in the “Ineligible Tokens” section of the token selection screen.

FAQ

Will this new “The Second Voyage” Scene have a different utility in the future?

A: There is no announced future utility for this scene. This background swap allows holders to swap their Series 2 scene with unique artwork created by Terrell Jones for collectibility.

How many Terrell Jones Scenes are available to Scene Swap?

A: There will be 1 scene available to burn/swap for this Eruption. The scene will update on the metadata/properties that can be seen on OpenSea and your VeeFriends.com account.

Can I return to my original Series 2 Scene if I change my mind?

A: In this Eruption, all scene swaps are final once completed. You will not be able to revert back to your original Series 2 Scene.

Can I get a Series 2 VeeFriends & JAS BOOK GAMES Token now AFTER the announcement and participate in this Eruption?

A: Yes, to participate in Eruption 9, you will need at least (1) Series 2 VeeFriends token and (1) JAS BOOK GAMES token during the Eruption 9 duration period.

Can I preview the token artwork of this swap before submitting the irreversible burn to swap?

A: Yes, you’ll have access to a token preview as part of the process, allowing you to review the artwork before deciding to proceed with the swap.

What are “ineligible Series 2 tokens” in the swapping process?

A: Ineligible Series 2 tokens are tokens that are not eligible for this Scene Swap. This can be because someone else has already swapped that character + pose combination, or if you have already Scene Swapped that particular token in this eruption. Ineligible S2 tokens will not appear in the selection list, making it easier to prevent their accidental selection on the technical side.

If I accidentally close out during the swapping process, what should I do?

A: If you accidentally close out during the swapping process, you can try again and should be met with any technical difficulties. If you have any issues please reach out to support@veefriends.com.

What should I do if I get stuck on the swap page and need assistance?

A: Ideally, you should wait on the swap page for the process to complete. However, if you encounter issues or have questions, you can reach out to our support team at support@veefriends.com. Keep in mind that once you hit the “submit” button, the process runs on the backend, and it will still complete even if you leave the page. You may not see a success message immediately, but most swaps, especially those involving fewer than 5 tokens, should finish in approximately 10 seconds (though larger batches may take a bit longer).

With the parameters in place to ensure each token remains a 1 of 1 artwork, how does this apply to Series 2 Gift Goat tokens?

A: With all Series 2 Gift Goats having the same scene and only two poses, they are all inherently 1-of-1s due to the unique number on their tag. With this in mind, Series 2 Gift Goats do not need a character/pose parameter in place as their 1-of-1 nature is inherent and won’t be affected by Scene Swaps.
