ASRock announces the creation of its first NFT motherboard

hardware manufacturer ASRock announced that it is working on its first “decentralized” motherboard based on the universe of the NFT. According to the company, the intention is to allow the fan community to decide the visual aspects of the component, whose real version will be sent to the three winners.

However, the way the company is running the process makes it difficult to understand how it will decide who has won its contest. The design of the ASRock Z690 PG Riptide NFT Edition is being created through the manufacturer’s official website, which offers a Imagen editor pretty straightforward. you can check yourselves by clicking on the following link.

It seems that entering the contest is simply to choose the colors that you think are the most “pretty” and send the result to ASRock. However, the community aspect of the experiment complicates things a bit. According to the company, every pixel of the final design should be community voted, which will decide the final aspect of each of the 4,309 pixels present. Strange, right?

The final appearance of the motherboard will be defined by vote

To further complicate the process of creating NFT motherboards, ASRock has created some rules that are a bit difficult to understand. “Once a new design is made, 5 designs from you and other people are randomly drawn, and if at least 3 designs are identical in the same pixel, it becomes that color,” explains the company.

According to the manufacturer, the election process will last 20 days and each day the collectively chosen winning design will be minted at NFT. The final results of days 1, 10 and 20 will be used as the basis for the production of limited units of the motherboard ASRock Z690 PG Riptide NFT Edition. These will be sent to the individual winners (although their work will become collective).

In case you’re confused by the rules, don’t worry: apparently the company has focused on making them as complicated as possible. To participate in the initiative it will be necessary to have a coin purse digital de Ethereum (ETH). for now ASRock has not indicated on which platform it will publish its NFTs, but everything indicates that OpenSeawhich already houses the company logo, will be chosen.

And what do you think of this ASRock idea? Ridiculous or brilliant?
