Migrate your Bulls and Tesseracts NFTs now!
The long-awaited day is finally here! After a few months of development (and some delays), we are now ready for a soft landing on the Solana network, the new Bull Club HQ.
What’s new?
For a comprehensive guide on how to migrate your NFTs, scroll to the end of this article.
Let’s talk about the changes to the collection as well as other components of the ecosystem that have been improved. As announced in our latest Medium article, we replaced some of the art to get rid of certain traits that do not translate well to Solana and our future cross-chain plans.
As previously stated, the decision to change certain traits wasn’t easy. We love all protocols and chains out there but we believe this is better for the future of the brand and the growth of the project. Hopefully, you can all understand where the decision stems from.
Additionally, we also took it upon ourselves to revamp some of the background traits. In particular, we have reworked the ones that were way too ‘busy’ and had too much going on. These took the attention away from the main subject (the Bulls). We believe this move also gives consistency to the art of the collection as a whole.
We have consulted the Bull Club DAO Council on this matter and the consensus to go forward with the changes was unanimous.
Some of the changes were pretty minor (e.g. the wording changed from ‘LunaBulls’, ‘Luna’, etc… to chain agnostic terms). On the other hand, some outfit traits have been fully reworked. You can see a preview below but there is more 👀. Can you spot all the new hoodies and outfits? (There might also be an easter egg trait that we DEFINITELY put there on purpose 😬)
About the Customs
As you all know, the original collection included 70 Ultra Rare (or Custom) Bulls. The majority of these NFTs were marketing tools that served their purpose flawlessly. Now that we’re pivoting to a more brand-centered roadmap, we have reorganized the way these Customs fit into the collection. The majority of the Protocol Bulls were removed completely.
The collection now has exactly 10,000 NFTs. Some of the common Bulls in the Pylon Pools (RIP) will be sacrificed in order to achieve this result.
The 1/1s of the collection (rarest pieces) have effectively gained a significant boost in terms of their secondary market “tradability” (the 1/1s have now random IDs and feel more like real pieces of the collection).
We still love all the protocols and people that these Bulls represented, so no hard feelings on our side at all. Hopefully, we cross paths again in the future.
If you had bought one of these Custom Bulls, please reach out to us (Discord DMs, Twitter DMs, Discord support ticket) and we’ll try to make it up to you to the best of our abilities.
The Rupture Interface
The Interchange process has also been drastically improved. No more swapping NFTs back and forth with a swap contract like it happened on Terra. Your Bull NFT will never leave your wallet again. The metadata is now changing in real-time to reflect the current version of your Bull (2D/3D).
All you have to do is go to https://bull.club/the-bull-club, connect your wallet with the Bulls in it and choose either the ‘Bond’ or ‘Interchange’ tab under The Rupture section.
To see the changes as fast as possible, look for a ‘Refresh Metadata’ button on the marketplaces (usually located on each NFT individual page).
This section of the website will also let you access all the new features that will be rolled out in the upcoming months.
The Tesseracts
The fundamentals of the Tesseracts haven’t changed and they will still cover a crucial role in The Bull Club ecosystem.
In other news, after the Tesseract mint in February, a frontend bug resulted in people being able to mint (paying full price) extra Tesseracts (and exceed the 8500 supply we had announced).
We will reorganize (burn) the supply in our possession (Treasury + Pylon pools) to make sure the max supply stays at 8500.
What about the secondary market?
You can trade the collections on the following marketplaces:
TRADING FOR THE BULLS IS LIVE! TESSERACTS TO FOLLOW!
How to migrate your NFTs
Depending on the congestion of the Solana Network, the transactions required to migrate your NFTs might fail. If you see an error message pop up, please wait some time and try again.
You can find the migration page at https://bull.club/the-bull-portal.
Before you can start the process, make sure all your NFTs are not sitting on a marketplace (aka they’re in your wallet). To withdraw your NFTs from RandomEarth, select each individual Bull (or Tesseract) and click the ‘withdraw’ button shown in the image below. If you don’t see it, that means your NFT is already in your wallet and ready to go.
In terms of transaction fees, all you need is some $LUNC (2–3 $LUNC should do the job but double-check to be sure) to cover gas on Terra. All gas on the Solana side is covered by us, though you’ll need $SOL eventually to execute transactions on the chain.
Now that you’re all set, access the portal page and do the following:
- Connect your Terra Wallet. Terra Station is recommended but other wallets work too. Make sure you are connected to the Terra Classic network and update the Terra Station extension to the latest version to avoid issues.
- Connect your Solana Wallet. In case you haven’t created a Solana wallet yet, we recommend using Phantom Wallet.
- You should now see the number of Bulls and Tesseracts that can be migrated. Make sure it’s displaying the correct amount (if it says 0–0 wait some time or refresh the page).
- Click the ‘Port all Bulls and Tesseracts’ button to begin the migration.
- You should see a confirmation message if the transaction goes through! If it doesn’t, wait some time (make sure you have enough $LUNC for fees) and try again.
- You’re all set! You now just have to wait for your Bulls to land gracefully in your Solana wallet. Welcome to our new home!
The Bulls on Terra are now effectively worthless. We strongly suggest ceasing all types of trading. You would be wasting money on worthless items.
How long does the migration process take?
Minting all Bulls and Tesseracts is a very costly procedure in terms of resources used and the time required to complete the migration. Depending on the traffic (aka how many people will try to migrate their NFTs at the same time) it might take a while to see all your assets on Solana. Our suggestion is to start the migration and then check your wallet after some time. You don’t need to keep the web page open during all of this. Thank you for being patient.
DON’T WORRY, YOUR BULLS CANNOT BE LOST IN THE PROCESS
Mobile Compatibility
Unfortunately, the way Solana's wallet connection works on mobile stops Terra Station from connecting. To bridge your assets, please use a PC or laptop. After you migrate your Bulls, use the embedded browser in the Phantom mobile app to access the website from your phone.
If you have issues with the migration process, reach out by opening a support ticket in our Discord. We’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible. Happy migration!
