Answers before you buy, open, or list.

You are buying a sealed box tied to a specific artist collection. The collection page shows the price, total box count, prize count, consolation value, sale timing, opening rules, claim window, and whether trading is enabled.

No. A box resolves into either an artwork prize or the artist-defined consolation outcome. The collection page explains the exact structure before you buy.

Usually, yes, unless the collection has a per-wallet limit, allowlist limit, private-sale rule, or inventory cap. The purchase screen should show what is available for your account.

That depends on the artist's undersold policy. A collection can cancel and refund, stay open until its deadline, or stop new primary sales while keeping eligible existing boxes tradable. The collection page should disclose the policy before purchase.

Openings depend on collection state. Many collections unlock after primary sales end or sell out. Some open one box at a time; others use a batch opening process.

You need to submit shipping details before the claim deadline. The artist manages fulfillment from their workspace unless a collection states a different arrangement.

The collection terms determine what happens. Always check the claim deadline before buying, holding, or listing a revealed physical prize.

If the collection is in a state where sealed boxes can still be held or traded, yes. Some collection states or deadlines may eventually require opening, claiming, refunding, or settling.

Only when the artist has enabled trading and the item is eligible. A box may become unavailable for listing if it is opened, claimed, paused, refunded, transferred, or otherwise changed.

A bid is an offer to buy a specific item, or in some flows an eligible item from a collection. The buyer signs the bid terms, and the seller can accept while the bid is active and valid.

Listings and bids are state-sensitive. They can expire, sell, be cancelled, be invalidated by ownership changes, or become unavailable if the collection is paused or the item state changes.

When the collection enables secondary trading and royalties, marketplace sales can send a percentage back to the artist according to that collection's terms.

Artists configure the work, price, box count, prize count, consolation value, public sale timing, private access, giveaways, claim deadline, shipping scope, trading permissions, and undersold policy.

The artist normally ships directly to the winning claimant. ArtBoxes provides the software path for claims and fulfillment tracking, not warehouse custody unless a release says otherwise.

Yes. ArtBoxes is a marketplace for selling physical work and artist-defined outcomes. Copyright and image rights remain with the artist unless separate written terms say otherwise.

ArtBoxes is structured as a purchase of artist-defined value, not a cash wager. Every collection should disclose what a buyer receives, how outcomes are determined, and what terms apply before purchase.

Collectors need a wallet-backed account to buy, open, list, bid, or claim. The app handles most of the underlying transaction flow, but wallet confirmation is still required for marketplace actions.

Include the collection name, your wallet address, item or box number, transaction hash if you have one, and a short description of what you expected to happen.
