# Welcome to Sphera

Sphera is the Super Fan Platform — one place to follow your team, engage with fellow fans, and own the moments that matter.

## The Problem

Being a sports fan today is exhausting. You engage on Twitter, buy tickets on Ticketmaster, watch on streams, and bet on another app. Simply keeping track of your favourite team feels like a chore.

Your identity is fragmented across the web. Teams only care about you on game day. You create value, but you own nothing.

**It's time to replace the noise with a signal.**

## One Profile. Three Zones. Everything You Need.

Sphera brings your entire fan experience into one platform:

* **Community Hub** — Don't just follow. Belong. Connect with fans, flex achievements, discuss your favourite team, and get rewarded for your loyalty.
* **FutureCast** — Prove your expertise. Predict outcomes, earn unique rewards, climb the leaderboards, and raise the stakes on peer-to-peer prediction markets.
* **Marketplace** — Collect and trade. Earn unique physical and digital rewards like limited edition player jerseys, and trade them with other fans on our decentralised peer-to-peer marketplace.

# Supported Assets

Sphera currently has five NFT collections on Hedera, all of which can be bridged to Avalanche via the [NFT Bridge](/nft-bridge/bridge) and traded on the [Marketplace](https://market.sphera.world).

## INO Collections

These three collections were launched via Sphera's Initial NFT Offering on Headstarter. Each NFT entitles the holder to a token airdrop equivalent to the amount stated on the NFT at Token Generation Event (TGE).

## Bridge

### What is the NFT Bridge?

The NFT Bridge allows you to move your Sphera NFTs between Hedera and Avalanche networks. This enables trading on different marketplaces and accessing different DeFi opportunities.

### Is bridging safe?

Yes. The bridge uses secure smart contracts that lock your NFT on one chain and mint an equivalent wrapped version on the other. You can always bridge back to get your original NFT.

For more bridge questions, see our [Bridge FAQ](/nft-bridge/faq).


# Overview

The Sphera NFT Bridge allows you to seamlessly move your NFTs between **Hedera** and **Avalanche** networks.

## Why Bridge?

* **Access More Marketplaces** - Trade your NFTs on Avalanche-based marketplaces
* **Lower Gas Fees** - Choose the network with the best fees for your transaction
* **Flexibility** - Use your NFTs across different DeFi ecosystems

## Supported Collections

| Collection     | Hedera | Avalanche |
| -------------- | ------ | --------- |
| Sphera Amateur | ✅      | ✅         |
| Sphera Fan     | ✅      | ✅         |
| Sphera Ultras  | ✅      | ✅         |
| Legacy Pass    | ✅      | ✅         |
| Annual Pass    | ✅      | ✅         |

## How It Works

### Hedera → Avalanche

1. Your NFT is **locked** in a secure smart contract on Hedera
2. A **wrapped version** is minted on Avalanche
3. The wrapped NFT has identical metadata and artwork

### Avalanche → Hedera

1. Your wrapped NFT is **burned** on Avalanche
2. The original NFT is **unlocked** on Hedera
3. You receive your original NFT back

## Security

* Smart contracts are designed with security best practices
* Only the bridge authority can mint/unlock NFTs
* Your NFT is never destroyed - it's either locked or unlocked

# Bridge FAQ

Common questions about the Sphera NFT Bridge.

## General

### Is the bridge safe?

Yes. The bridge uses secure smart contracts:

* On Hedera: Your NFT is **locked** (not burned) in a LockBox contract
* On Avalanche: A **wrapped version** is minted that you control
* You can always bridge back to recover your original NFT

### What happens to my NFT when I bridge?

**Hedera → Avalanche:**

* Your original NFT is locked in a secure contract on Hedera
* A wrapped NFT with identical metadata is minted on Avalanche
* The wrapped NFT is sent to your specified address

**Avalanche → Hedera:**

* Your wrapped NFT is burned on Avalanche
* Your original NFT is unlocked on Hedera
* The original NFT is sent to your specified address

### Can I bridge to a different wallet?

Yes! When bridging, you can specify a different destination address. This is useful for:

* Sending to a friend
* Moving to a different wallet you control
* Consolidating NFTs

## Wallets

### Why do I need two wallets?

* **HashPack** is needed for Hedera transactions (lock/unlock)
* **MetaMask** is needed for Avalanche transactions (mint/burn)

Both wallets must be connected for the bridge to work.

### Can I use wallets other than HashPack?

Currently, HashPack is the recommended wallet for Hedera. We may add support for other Hedera wallets in the future.

### Can I use wallets other than MetaMask?

Yes! Any EVM-compatible wallet works for Avalanche, including:

* MetaMask
* Rabby
* Rainbow
* WalletConnect-compatible wallets

## Fees & Timing

### How much does bridging cost?

| Direction          | Network Fee       |
| ------------------ | ----------------- |
| Hedera → Avalanche | \~1-2 HBAR        |
| Avalanche → Hedera | \~0.005-0.01 AVAX |

Fees may vary based on network congestion.

### How long does bridging take?

Typically 10-30 seconds for either direction. The process includes:

1. Your transaction on the source chain
2. Bridge verification
3. Transaction on the destination chain

### Why is my transaction taking longer?

Possible reasons:

* Network congestion
* Wallet connection issues
* Browser/extension issues

Try refreshing the page or reconnecting your wallet.

## Troubleshooting

### My NFT is stuck / not appearing

1. **Wait a few minutes** - Blockchain indexing can take time
2. **Refresh the page** - The UI may need to reload
3. **Check explorers**:
   * [HashScan](https://hashscan.io) for Hedera
   * [Snowtrace](https://snowtrace.io) for Avalanche
4. **Contact support** if stuck for more than 10 minutes

### I bridged but didn't receive my NFT

This is rare but can happen if:

* Network issues interrupted the bridge
* The mint/unlock transaction failed

Contact support on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ny4uKYPYfx) with your transaction hash and we'll help recover your NFT.

### The bridge says "Transaction failed"

Common causes:

* **Insufficient gas** - Make sure you have enough HBAR/AVAX
* **Wrong network** - Ensure MetaMask is on Avalanche (not Ethereum)
* **Wallet not connected** - Reconnect both wallets

### Can I cancel a bridge in progress?

Once a lock/burn transaction is confirmed, it cannot be cancelled. The bridge will complete the process automatically.
