// Setup

The Armin’s All-Access token is technically an NFT, which stands for Non Fungible Token. Essentially, this token proves ownership of your asset (NFT) on the blockchain.

Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.

A digital wallet refers to software, an electronic device, or an online service that enables individuals or businesses to make transactions electronically or store digital assets.Think of your wallet as your personal identity in the digital world, the same way a username and password are for traditional websites.

When you buy an AAA Token, it is minted to the blockchain especially for you. A unique piece of artwork is generated upon your transaction, and it is assigned to a specific token on the blockchain. The ownership certificate of this token is transferred to your wallet, meaning you now own the asset and can fully control what happens to it.

For beginners we recommend MetaMask. It’s free and fast to set up, and has a good balance between ease-of-use and safety. Install the browser extension or download the app to get started. This article explains how to set up MetaMask in a few simple steps.

Remember – Never, under any circumstance, give anyone your wallet’s seed phrase. Losing your seed phrase means losing control of your wallet forever.

Once the collection is released, go to the www.arminvanbuuren.com/aaa website and click the button that says ‘connect wallet’. Your wallet should automatically pop up and ask you to confirm the connection. The ‘mint now’ button will then activate. Click it to initiate another wallet pop-up where you can review and confirm the actual transaction. Confirm it, and you’re done. The network takes a couple minutes to process, and you have your token!

You may have heard about non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and how they impact the environment. Even though NFTs themselves do not cause any environmental impact, their impact on our climate can be linked to how they are produced. That is why we are building AAA on Ethereum, an open source blockchain that recently changed from Proof of Work (a validation method that confirms transactions, including NFT transactions) to Proof of Stake (a different validation method that uses considerably fewer validators.) Proof of Stake requires a lot less of computer processing, and thus consumes much less energy per transaction (99.95% less). You can compare the energy consumption of a single transaction to that of sending an email, or doing a bank transfer.
