OKX x McLaren: Digital Collectibles FAQs

Published on 5 Jun 2024Updated on 1 Sept 20246 min read

  1. What are digital collectibles?

    Digital collectibles are unique digital tokens. Each one is distinct and cannot be replaced by a similar one as they all have unique metadata.

  2. When will the Race Rewind Digital Collectibles be available?

    • Digital collectibles will be released for each race. These will always be available between 10am GMT on Fridays until 10am GMT on Mondays during every race weekend.

    • Las Vegas will have the same drop timings as all other drops despite having a different racing schedule.

    • If you do not claim a digital collectible in this window, you can purchase it on our secondary marketplace instead.

  3. What are the benefits of claiming Race Rewind digital collectibles?

    • The Race Rewind collection offers 24 digital collectibles, one for each Formula 1® race in 2024. Collectibles come in three types: Classic, Rare, and Ultra-Rare. Rare or Ultra-Rare collectibles grant prizes like merchandise and experiences, alongside the digital collectible ownership.

    • At the 2024 season's end, one last collectible will be released. To claim it, you need a collectible of any rarity from each race. This drop will feature Rare and Ultra-Rare digital collectibles with special prizes.

    • A Classic collectible does not have an associated reward, but is still a piece of authentic McLaren memorabilia. If you mint a Classic collectible you could still win a prize by collecting one collectible from each race of the season.

    • If you are missing a collectible for a race you can purchase it on the secondary marketplace.

  4. What is a utility/(reward)?

    • Some digital collectibles have rewards, also known as utilities. Utility is a Web 3 term for access to products, services, prizes, and platforms given to users who hold a certain collectible.

    • In the Race Rewind collection, Rare and Ultra-Rare collectibles have utilities like the ability to claim McLaren caps, signed merchandise, and physical experiences.

  5. How do I set up a wallet?

    A step by step guide on opening a wallet can be found here.

  6. How can I redeem the utility associated with my digital collectible?

    • You can view your digital collectibles on your dashboard within the OKX McLaren microsite. To redeem your utilities click redeem and complete the pop-up form. You can redeem one or multiple utilities simultaneously.

    • Once you redeem a Rare or Ultra-Rare collectible, your collectible will be replaced with one which says ‘utility claimed’. This NFT is tradable, but the utility will no longer be redeemable.

    • Physical prizes will be shipped via DHL, you will receive shipping updates via text. If you win an experience you will be contacted via email (nftwinners@okx.com).

  7. How do I know what rarity my digital collectible is?

    You can identify the rarity of your digital collectible by checking their rarity icon which will state Classic, Rare, or Ultra-Rare.

  8. Where will my digital collectible be stored and how can I access my collection?

    • To claim a Race Rewind digital collectible you will need to create a Web3 wallet on our platform or link a compatible Web3 wallet.

    • The OKX Wallet is a noncustodial, multichain digital asset storage and management tool that is available as either a browser extension or mobile/web app.

    • Noncustodial means that we nor any other network participants have control over your wallet or the assets stored in it. As the owner of your Web3 Wallet, you take full custody of the crypto assets held within the wallet. All assets in the wallet are stored on-chain and the owner can access it at any time.

  9. When do I have to redeem my digital collectible utility?

    • Utilities must be redeemed within three weeks of the minting window closing. Utilities cannot be redeemed after this time.

    • Once the redemption window ends, or once a utility is redeemed, Rare or Ultra-Rare collectibles will be marked with a stamp to say the utility is no longer available. This is to prevent users redeeming multiple prizes for a collectible, or trading Rare or Ultra-Rare collectibles that no longer have a utility associated with them.

  10. What if I cannot use my prize, or I don't want to redeem it?

    • You can sell any Race Rewind digital collectible on our marketplace for free or for a fee of your choosing.

    • Utilities must be claimed within 3 weeks of the minting window closing.

    • After the redemption window has closed you will still be able to trade your Rare and Ultra-Rare collectibles, but it will no longer be possible to redeem their utility.

  11. How do I trade or sell my digital collectible?

  12. What happens if I miss the digital collectible drop?

    • You must have a full collection of 24 collectibles (one per race of any rarity) to be in with a chance of winning the end of season grand prize.
