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?
Yes! On June 1, 2022 at noon PST you'll be able to purchase your Uke Head in our online shop using a credit card. It's no different than any other online purchase.
If you already have a crypto wallet, we will send your Uke Head NFT directly to you at no extra charge (you'll just have to submit your wallet address during checkout). If you don't have a crypto wallet, you will still receive the hi-res image file of your Uke Head and all the perks associated with it via email. If you decide to get a crypto wallet in the future, simply request your Uke Head NFT and we'll send it to you. Simple as that.
