F1® NFT auctions

Staking NFTs to generate in-game currency 
In F1® Delta Time, cars are NFTs and will have the ability to generate REV through "staking", with rarer cars generating higher amounts of REV. REV is an ERC-20 token and the primary currency that will be used in F1® Delta Time. 

 

When you choose to stake your car, you temporarily transfer ownership to F1® Delta Time and therefore lose the ability to use, race or trade that car, but you will earn REV based on the period of time that your car is staked.
