What is a wallet?

Your wallet is a cryptographic wallet on the Solana devnet blockchain. It is where we’ll send rewards and NFT’s that you earn while shopping through the Rye protocol or Store Builder. While Rye and the Store Builder are in testnet, wallets created will not be mainnet wallets in order for us to thoroughly test the protocol.

How are NFTs generated?

Currently, NFTs are generated on certain actions while interacting with the Store Builder.

Do NFTs have a monetary value?

Currently, since NFTs are generated on Solana devnet, there is no monetary value to NFTs granted.
