How ownership works in VPR

Learn how pigeon ownership works in VPR, what the blockchain guarantees, and what you can do with your pigeon NFTs.

In Virtual Pigeon Racing, every pigeon is an NFT. That NFT is your proof of ownership, stored on the Polygon blockchain. This means your pigeons are digital assets you own and control, not items stored in a private company database or dependent on a third party that could control, alter, or manipulate them.

Where your pigeons live

Your pigeons belong to your wallet. A wallet is a secure digital account that holds your blockchain assets.

VPR supports Venly and MetaMask:

  • Venly is integrated by default and is designed to make onboarding simple, especially for players new to crypto.

  • MetaMask is one of the most widely used wallets globally and is widely supported across the Web3 ecosystem.

What the blockchain guarantees

VPR uses blockchain so ownership and scarcity are publicly verifiable.

Because your pigeons exist on-chain:

  • Ownership is real and transferable. Your pigeons belong to your wallet.

  • A pigeon’s identity and history cannot be quietly changed later.

  • Pigeons cannot be secretly duplicated or inflated beyond the defined rules.

What cannot be changed

VPR’s NFT contract is live on Polygon through Venly and follows the widely used ERC-1155 standard.

Importantly, the contract does not allow:

  • Minting additional Generation 1 pigeons after launch

  • Altering pigeon attributes after creation

  • Changing metadata

  • Pausing the contract

What you can do as an owner

Because you own your pigeons as NFTs, you can:

  • Race them and build a permanent history

  • Breed to create new pigeons

  • Transfer them to another wallet

  • Sell them on the official marketplace or supported third-party NFT platforms

VPR also partners with OpenSea for NFT sales and visibility, enabling trading and public verification on a major NFT marketplace.
