Both tracks offer engaging ways to interact with the network, complete fun quests, and earn limited-edition NFTs that commemorate your place in the Autonomys history.

Great news, Autonauts! We’re excited to announce that all **Spark and Seed NFTs** have been successfully distributed to eligible participants!

**NFT Details:**

- **The Spark Autonaut** : [View NFT](https://explorer.auto-evm.mainnet.autonomys.xyz/token/0x6C3bbcA5164Dde0688E75b6b389cBF5986c7E221/instance/45958118175671759888948360166412024998057593291628297421116974760880068250517)

- **The Seed Autonaut** : [View NFT](https://explorer.auto-evm.mainnet.autonomys.xyz/token/0x6C3bbcA5164Dde0688E75b6b389cBF5986c7E221/instance/73901446531365105369459919458786035075360845066842282506091004993477655637123)

**What Makes These NFTs Special:**

These NFTs represent a true milestone in decentralized permanence. They are minted on Auto EVM, and their images are stored on Auto Drive **on consensus** — meaning they will remain accessible forever, without relying on centralized servers or external storage providers. This is permanence by design!

**How to View Your NFT:**

You can easily import your Spark or Seed Autonaut NFT into your wallet of choice, such as MetaMask, and show off your unique piece of Autonomys history!

**Your Autonaut NFT is a symbol of your contribution to building the decentralized future!**
