Welcome to a new era of digital ownership. The Ulys Quest Landmark collection is not about speculative JPEGs; it's about acquiring a real, revenue-generating asset tied to a global gaming platform. This guide explains exactly what you are buying, how it works, and why it's a secure, long-term investment in the future of Ulys Quest.

1. What Am I Actually Buying?

You are not buying a picture. You are buying a perpetual digital franchise for one of the world's most iconic landmarks.

Each Landmark NFT is a unique digital license that grants you, the owner, a lifetime 20% commission on all in-game rewards generated by players who visit your sponsored location within the Ulys Quest app.

The Utility:

Every time a player completes a quest at your landmark (e.g., the Eiffel Tower), they are rewarded with 50 $QUEST tokens. As the sponsor, you automatically receive 20% of that reward (10 $QUEST) directly to your wallet.

The Asset:

The NFT itself, stored on the Polygon blockchain, is your proof of ownership. You can hold it to earn commissions, or sell it on a secondary market like OpenSea.

2. How Does the System Work? The On-Chain Guarantee

Trust is paramount. The entire financial model is not based on promises; it's built into a secure, audited smart contract that executes automatically and transparently on the blockchain. When you purchase a Landmark NFT from our official minting page:

The 50/50 Split:

The smart contract instantly splits your MATIC payment:

• 50% is sent directly to the Ulys Quest treasury (a secure Gnosis Safe multi-signature wallet) to fund platform development and operations.
• 50% is used to automatically purchase $QUEST tokens from our official Presale contract.

The Burn & Mint:

• 100% of the $QUEST tokens purchased in that transaction are immediately and permanently burned (destroyed).
• Your Landmark NFT is created and sent to your wallet.

This entire process happens in a single, unstoppable transaction. This transparent model ensures that your investment directly contributes to the project's growth while simultaneously strengthening the $QUEST token by reducing its total supply.

3. Is It Secure? Audits, Hardening, and Governance

Security is not an afterthought; it is the foundation of this project. The LandmarkNFT smart contract has undergone a rigorous internal audit and hardening process to protect investors.

• Front-Running Protection: When you mint, you specify a maximum price you're willing to pay. This prevents any possibility of the price changing after you've submitted your transaction.
• Emergency Safeguards: The contract includes a "circuit breaker" (a pausable function). In the unlikely event of an issue, we can instantly halt all minting to protect user funds.
• Gnosis Safe Governance: All administrative powers are held by the Ulys Quest Gnosis Safe. This requires multiple signatures from the core team to approve any change, eliminating a single point of failure.
• Upgrade Safety: The contract is built using the industry-standard UUPS upgradeable pattern, ensuring we can add new features in the future without compromising the security or integrity of your asset.

4. What Makes This a Scarce and Valuable Asset?

To ensure the long-term value and exclusivity of these assets, we have set a hard, lifetime cap of 100 Landmark NFTs.

• True Scarcity: There will only ever be 100 of these revenue-generating licenses in the entire Ulys Quest ecosystem. This Genesis Collection consists of the first 20.
• Sustainable Tokenomics: Capping commission-earning sponsors ensures the reward system is sustainable and protects the long-term health of the $QUEST token.
• Prestige: Owning one of only 100 digital franchises is a powerful status symbol within our community.

5. How is the Artwork Stored?

The beautiful "Cinematic Realism" artwork for your NFT is not stored on a traditional server that can go down. All images and metadata are permanently stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized storage network. The link to this permanent storage is recorded on the blockchain, guaranteeing that the art and description for your NFT will exist forever.

6. How Do I Get My Commission Payouts?

The commission payout process will be fully automated by the Ulys Quest backend.

1. A player checks in at your landmark.
2. Our server validates their location.
3. Our server makes a read-only call to the blockchain to identify your wallet address as the owner of that landmark's NFT.
4. Our system automatically executes a transfer of 10 $QUEST tokens from the official rewards wallet directly to you.

You don't have to do anything. The commissions are passive and are sent directly to your wallet in real-time as players explore the world.
