Terra Virtua is one of the earlier platforms that saw the potential of NFTs as digital collectibles. It played an instrumental role in moving NFTs from being just digital 2D NFTs to Premium 3D collectibles. With its deep network in the Web 2.0 entertainment sector, Terra Virtua was able to quickly build up partnerships with top IPs like Top Gun, The Godfather, Lost in Space, etc. These are one of the earliest instances of big IPs entering the NFT space.

In the coming days, the NFT industry evolved rapidly, Terra Virtua expanded to digital comics and artwork. However, that was not enough and the project saw an intermittent downturn. At this moment Terra Virtua has reinvented itself and built a Metaverse in the Cardano ecosystem, where all the elements of its previous endeavor will integrate seamlessly.

So, in this article, we will explain how you can sign up, buy an NFT, and put your existing NFT in an auction.

The token was designed with the idea to reduce the transaction fee when TVK will be used as a payment method. Users can stake their TVK and can become a member of the Prestige group. The token can also be used to reward users. You can even stake your TVK to join the creator marketplace and collaborate with other brand owners or creators.

Prestige

Terra Virtua is offering benefits to the users who are holding the platform’s native TVK tokens. The program called Terra Virtua Prestige consists of multiple membership tiers, each with a different TVK holding. The more TVK you hold, the higher will be your tier, and hence the benefits.

Check the below screenshot to know more about the membership tiers (platinum, gold, silver, and bronze), their associated benefits, and the TVK tokens required to enter the group.
