FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a Uke Head?
​
A Uke Head is one of 1,879 whimsical portraits of the ukulele by James Hill. Each is a one-of-a-kind piece of digital art that serves as your ticket to record on James' new album! Each Uke Head can only have one owner at a time.
Technically speaking, your Uke Head is a digital token called an NFT (short for "Non-fungible Token") stored on a blockchain*, making it unique and immutable. However, you do not have to use cryptocurrency to purchase a Uke Head, nor do you need a crypto wallet.
​
* Uke Head NFTs are ERC-721 tokens minted on the Polygon blockchain. Polygon is a proof-of-stake blockchain that is environmentally responsible and has extremely low transaction fees.
​
Can I purchase a Uke Head with a credit card?
