Does “On The Rise” require cryptocurrency?
Yes. This app requires POL (the cryptocurrency of the Polygon blockchain) for those who create sport collectible NFTs. No cryptocurrency is required for those just viewing the collectibles.

Is there a fee to use the On The Rise app?
On The Rise is a “decentralized application” on the Polygon public blockchain, which means that any user pays a small ‘gas’ fee to miners to write data to the blockchain (minting an NFT here). On The Rise direct fees include POL for minting an NFT and a commission if the NFT happens to be sold.
Can On The Rise restore my access to NFTs I created? (I lost my phone, re-installed the app, …)
No. Your access is controlled by a cryptographic key, which is your key to your NFTs. Your wallet is generated locally and keys are stored locally on your mobile device. On The Rise does not know nor have access to your cryptographic keys. On The Rise suggests backing up your private key (and storing at least one copy off your phone) and storing only a minimal amount to support your activity. The private keys are under your control, so you can transfer crypto into or out of your wallet as desired.
