Have a question about NFT Embed?
Below are the most frequently asked questions. 🙂
Do all NFTs automatically work with the embed?
Most NFTs should work with NFT embed, granted they follow ERC standards/EVM compatible, and our infrastructure supports it.
However, it may take a little while for recently minted NFTs to appear in some rare cases. And this is because it likely needs to propagate around distributed file systems and may take time to appear.

Not really! You do have to be motivated and willing to push a few buttons.
The most important button is ‘Copy,’ and it’s as simple as one-left-click.
Clicking the Copy button pastes the embed code to your clipboard. 🧰

How reliable is the widget?
Currently, all of the NFT's metadata uses OpenSea's API. This widget will properly load as long as OpenSea's data is online. We are actively working towards transitioning to our own in-house data service.

With NFT Embed, you can activate marketplace capabilities for the NFTs you choose to display.

What is wETH?
wETH is a type of cryptocurrency developed for the Ethereum blockchain.
"Wrapped ETH" means that each wETH token gets backed by one ETH token.
wETH conforms to the ERC-20 standard while ETH does not; this is because ether was developed and released before the advent of the standards that tokens need to conform to— therefore, the value of each wETH coin will never go below the value of one ETH coin.
ETH is traded or 'wrapped' directly for wETH, and to receive plain ETH; you'll need to trade it back or 'unwrap' the wrapped ETH. ()
Technically, you are not 'wrapping' anything; instead, you are trading ETH for wETH at a 1:1 ratio. This parity gets enforced by a smart contract and is therefore immutable. Click here to learn more about wETH.
