During the crystal minting process, we turn a complex on-chain conversion (redeeming a Polygon token for an Ethereum token) into a seamless experience without users switching networks from their wallets. The process is outlined below:
The user connects to the mint page on the Ethereum network
The user chooses the crystal(s) they want to mint from their wallet
User signs authorization for The Smurfs’ Society to burn the token(s) (aka crystal(s)) on their behalf.
The Smurfs’ Society completes the transaction, burning the token(s) on the Polygon network and absorbing the transaction fee while the user stays on the Ethereum network.
Once the token(s) are burned, The Smurfs’ Society signs an authorization giving users the proof that they can mint the Legendary token(s) (Legendary Smurf NFTs) on the Ethereum network.
The user mints the Legendary Ethereum tokens and pays the transaction fee.
The user receives the unrevealed Legendary Smurf NFT directly in their wallet (more information about the reveal can be found here).
