Getting Started With MusicForLife's VFT Lab

Image Source

I knew that MusicForLife were working on bringing their own version of DeFi ever since I first heard of the project at the end of February but wasn't expecting to see an announcement last night before I went to bed that the VFTLab was up and running! So before I went to bed, I had a quick play around and damn, they've made it so easy to use, top work everyone involved! I did discover a couple of bugs that I've let the developers know but other than that, it's a couple of clicks and job done!


VFT Lab

This is where you can deposit tokens such as HIVE, LEO, DEC, STARBITS, VIBES and VFTs themselves and they will earn VFT tokens each day.

For those who are in to the crypto lingo, this is essentially "NFT Farming" but developed fully on the Hive network. NFTs are Non-Fungible Tokens where anyone can create a unique token that has a limited number of them e.g. artists making limited edition artwork. You can then use these VFT tokens to buy those NFTs should you so wish on their store which links to a popular NFT Market called WAX.

With that in mind, here's what you will need to get yourself set up with VFT Lab. I'm not going to go in to the full step-by-step as that is described really nicely here by @al-gaming but wanted to share how easy it was to get started.


What You Will Need

  • Wax Account
  • Hive Account - I assume you already have one of these!
  • HIVE, VIBES, LEO, DEC or STARBITS
  • Hive Keychain

Wax Wallet

Get yourself set up with a wax wallet in a couple of easy clicks by going to AtomicHub here - click "log in" in the top right, then select "Wax Cloud Wallet". From there, you select on "create wallet" and then you select your preferred method and that's it!

Once you've created your Wax wallet, your wallet name will be given. Open up VFTLab, in the top right where it says WAX, click that, copy-paste your WAX Wallet in and you should be linked (although I don't know how you know if it's linked or not at this stage - the devs are looking in to it).

Hive Keychain

This is a Brave browser extension that you can use to put your Hive keys in for easy access to any site that's powered by Hive. You will need this to log in to VFT Lab and you can download the extension here.

Word of warning, I reported this bug yesterday but when you log in for the first time to VFT lab, do not click on the button shown below as some of the deposit features won't work. They are looking in to it.


Depositing Tokens

Once you're set up, you can then start depositing the tokens you want! Click "create" wallet and you will then have the option to deposit or withdraw:

Click "deposit" and you then type in the amount of that token you want to deposit (assuming you have enough in your wallet) and the rest is taken care of! It's so easy, you don't need to remember the memo. I have deposited HIVE from my Hive wallet and VIBES from my Hive-engine wallet in a couple of clicks.


VFT

Each day at midnight UTC, you will receive VFT tokens that you can use to buy some artwork in the store if you wanted. I haven't tried this yet but I'm looking forward to making my own VFTs with my music and trying them out. Really excited about this and there's a new Interface coming too - keep an eye out for the announcements from @al-gaming about the developments!

Has anyone tried the VFTLab yet?

Let me know

Nicky

Oh heck yeah, I am a huge fan of WAX so I am totally going to have to check this out. It would be awesome if they allowed the NFT's to be staked in RPlanet at some point. Thanks for sharing this!

I've not dived in to WAX but when I can start making these mp4 NFTs, I'll be looking forward to doing them. Game changing! Love it! I think they will be adding more options in the VFTLab to stake coins, not sure, I'm just a happy end user haha!

I hope so, I am not super impressed with what they have there at the moment. It isn't quite what I was expecting now that I am digging into it.

Do you mean with WAX or VFTLab? I know as much about either (which is very little tbh haha)

You should be careful with what you comment, if you do this on the M4L platform, the safest thing is that they will sensure you, for a comment they even expelled me from the discord!

deberias tener cuidado con lo que comentas, si haces esto en la plataforma de M4L lo mas seguro es que te sensuren, a mi por un comentario hasta me expulsaron de la discord!

Happy to help mate! To be fair, they made it really easy to set up and use. I just bought my first NFT with VFT and it's now in my WAX Wallet, this is great!

It's probably like trying to describe someone to tie their shoelaces in an SOP, a lot easier to just do it! (Or use velcro lol)

Awesome Claudio! I just spent mine from quickly getting some HIVE in last night before the cut off and bought a VFT on the store, it's now appearing in my WAX wallet so this is epic!

I haven't tried it yet but I will now. I will just need to set up my WAX wallet and go from there. :)

Thanks for sharing!

Yes mate! Once you're all linked up, it's a couple of clicks and away you go. I just bought some VFTs with some that I managed to get last night before the deadline and bought a snake DJ! It just appeared in my wax wallet:

Very cool! I have been wanting to look into WAX for awhile and your post made that quite easy. Added a little Hive and Vibes to VFTLAB to see how that goes. Pretty soon I will be an NFT collector. :)

I think I'll also be collecting NFTs too, this is pretty cool! I never really came across WAX until this project and I'll be looking in to it a lot more. Looking forward to seeing our collections grow as time goes on!

It was released a little too early for me. But I do plan to use it eventually when I get enough starbits. I think the steps were fairly straightforward and it will definitely things easier when I do enter the pools.

Plenty of time to get into it mate, when you're ready. It is by far the easiest thing I've gotten in to with DeFi and NFTs etc so kudos to the dev team! Looking forward to when you start farming VFTs :)

Yea I heard there will be some gamification for NFTs so I plan to get start adding some tokens to the pool after I reach 1 million starbits.

Cool I was confused about NFT n such read a bit online via the Splice blog n stuff trying to get my head around it all and its making sense now thanks for the great guide ive got a few VIBES n HIVE on VFT now after following this one and maybe we can do a collab in the future when you have some time free and make a VIP NFT for the peeps with some liquid lushness :D

It's slowly starting to make sense to me too. I have had to study it a lot but it's getting there. I think with everything, it's just a case of trying it out and then you learn by doing. You may make a little mistake here and there but don't do your tests with large amounts. It is actually pretty difficult to get wrong with the VFTLab though, these guys have done an epic job on making it easy!

Yeah man, I'm up for that collab and getting some VFTs together. Once this post everyday challenge is out the way and I have some time to recoup, will message you on Soundcloud.

Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate your comment and recommendation. I don't know if the Music For Life team will do a video tutorial about it but I will try to put one together when I get some time :)

Your English is good and better than my Spanish :)
