What is Santa.fm?
Santa.fm operates as a decentralized peer-to-pool protocol for randomly-distributed NFT gift exchanges, enabling users to participate in holiday-themed community activities. The platform leverages the Santa Protocol, created by Prohibition, an open platform for onchain generative art NFTs built on Art Blocks Engine and deployed on Arbitrum.
Users can deposit NFTs into specific pools with defined rules, receive wrapped gift NFTs, and unwrap them on designated dates to claim random NFTs from the pool. The system uses Chainlink VRF as a source of randomness to ensure fair distribution, supporting various pools like the PROOF Collective, Prohibition, and FIAT Pass for different NFT collections and communities.

What is the Santa Protocol?
The Santa Protocol is a decentralized peer-to-pool protocol used by Santa.fm for randomly-distributed NFT gift exchanges, built on technologies like Art Blocks Engine and deployed on Arbitrum. -
How does the randomness in NFT distribution work?
Santa.fm uses Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) as a source of randomness to ensure fair and unpredictable distribution of NFTs when gifts are unwrapped. -
What are the supported NFT collections for the exchange?
Supported collections depend on the pool; for example, the Prohibition pool accepts any Prohibition NFT, while the PROOF Collective pool is for ERC-721 tokens on Ethereum, and pools have specific rules for participation. -
Can anyone participate in the NFT gift exchange?
Participation rules vary by pool; some pools like the PROOF Collective are private for members only, while others like Prohibition are open to everyone, so users must check pool-specific requirements. -
What happens if I deposit an NFT into a pool?
When you deposit an NFT into a pool, you receive a wrapped gift NFT, which can be unwrapped on the designated reveal date to claim a random NFT from that pool.
