Tez tokens on Eth, WTF?

This is a brief summary of how to put tez tokens on eth, from a user/collector perspective.

Emblem Vaults: the truck is the vault (on eth), that holds the off-eth NFT.

I used to watch Orange County Choppers as a kid, and the builders would laugh about transporting $100,000 custom choppers in $500 pickup trucks. Emblem vaults are kinda like that: they are like a pickup truck that holds stuff, and that can take that stuff where it normally couldn’t go. A motorcycle (tez, xcp tokens) typically can’t go on gravel or ice (OpenSea, Rarible), but the truck (vault) can.

Here’s how the vaults look on https://emblem.finance; the real innovation is that the user or buyer can “see” and confirm the contents. New chains pop up on here frequently as the dev team at emblem is active (tez is new this week).

The are the vaults on emblem.finance where you can “see” the NFT. Link to the tez example here.

L1 + L2 options

Each vault can be minted on OpenSea (L1 or matic/polygon), the cost is ~0.02–0.06 depending on gas for L1. The L1 vault gallery is here. There are more buyers on L1 but it’s $100+ to mint. It’s cheaper to mint on L2, but there are fewer buyers (I personally don’t collect on matic).
