When new packs are released, thousands of cards can be sold within minutes. In order to deal with this, the system creates a queue to sort through all your orders fairly. This is very common when thousands of NFTs are tokenized one after another. Here is how it works:
- You buy a pack and open it on mobile or desktop, your cards are then revealed.
Please note, if you are able to open the same pack more than once, check your internet connection. It means the system did not get your card data to process and you have to try the process again.
- The platform receives the card data when you successfully open your pack and sends it to the blockchain to tokenise it.
The system knows the order that all the cards were created in. With so many people opening new packs at the same time, your Asset IDs may not even end up back-to-back, especially if you are opening more than one pack!
- The blockchain tokenizes your cards with a unique Asset ID and Serial number and then returns the info to our platform.
This where a queue may form. Even though the blockchain has the information, a bottleneck is created while the information comes back to our platform and syncs up a few certificates at a time. The syncing in our platform may take hours, even though the cards have already been tokenized on our blockchain!
- When platform syncing is complete, the system knows the Asset IDs and Serials of your new cards and emails you the certificates.
You will be able to see your new cards in your collection before you have the emailed certificate.
Although the platform may take hours to catch up with the blockchain, you will likely see the card circulation number increase before you have your own Serials. This does not mean that other people were able to skip ahead of you. It is the platform catching up to our very fast blockchain.
