# The Nemus NFT

Nemus NFTs are released in ‘drops’ and each drop corresponds with a region of the Amazon rainforest. As these are real world locations, each region and drop has its own unique story and initiatives with which Guardians can become involved. 

All it takes to become a Guardian is to acquire an NFT.

## Acquiring an NFT

Before each drop release, tickets will become available for purchase in the Nemus app. Holding a ticket entitles a Guardian to a 1:1 exchange for a corresponding NFT. Once the minting phase for an NFT has begun, a Guardian will select the location for their NFT on the map, the ticket is burned and the NFT is minted.
