Nowadays, the NFT wave is getting stronger and stronger, and because of that, we have many famous NFT trading platforms in the market, bringing a lot of benefits to everyone. However, the operations on these platforms are quite cumbersome, you cannot sell and buy an NFT immediately, it is difficult to track the price, or there is little chance of generating a passive income. And in this article, we will introduce to you a perfect solution to solve those problems: Liquid Collectibles.
I. What is Liquid Collectibles?
Liquid Collectibles is the first platform on BSC to give NFT projects the ability to become liquid, thus giving both projects and their users benefits such as NFT instant trading, better price discover and new profit opportunities through DeFi features like pond returns and staking. Really attractive
With Liquid Collectibles, projects will gain the ability to generate NFT-backed BEP-20 tokens. These tokens are called NFT Indexes (NFTi) and can be traded on sites like ApeSwap just like any other BEP-20 token.
Benefits of Liquid Collectibles for users:
🧑🌾 Use NFTis LP tokens to earn yield rewards
🛒 Buy/sell NFT instantly
💲 Discover better prices
💧 Increase liquidity
Besides, we also have more Liquid NFTs.
Liquid NFTs are NFT collections tokenized as fungible tokens (like BEP-20 tokens) enabling them to be instantly traded on decentralized exchanges such as ApeSwap, and making it possible to benefit from DeFi features such as yielding.
II. Unique Features of Liquid Collectibles
1. Tokenizing NFTi
The NFT Index is the liquid portion of liquid NFTs and each collection has its own. They can be swapped both ways with the NFT from their collection and can also be used for passive income.
Anyone can submit NFTs to existing collections.
When submitting NFTs to the collection, the user gets 95 NFT Index back.
NFT indexes can be used to
➢ Collect NFTs from collections (105 NFTi: 1 NFT)
➢ Build LP & yield tokens to earn rewards
➢ Trade for any other token like BTC, USDT etc.
Important: Please note that the exact NFT that you submit to the collection may not be available later if you want to recover it as someone else may have obtained it.
2. Collecting NFTs
You can collect NFTs in their website using NFTi.
Example: Let’s say you want to get Liquid Monster NFT, to get Liquid Monster from the collection you will need 105 Liquid Monsters NFT indexes (known as $LIMOi) or its equivalent in $BNB.
If you have no idea how to get the NFTi for a given collection of NFTs, don’t worry.
➻ Go to https://liquidcollectibles.io/collections
➻ Select the collection that interests you
➻ Click the “buy [token name]” button
3. Stake/Yield
You can stake single $LICO tokens in the Staking section or use LP tokens (either with $LICO or NFTi) to yield farm in the Yield section. To yield farm, you will have to add liquidity through ApeSwap to one of the liquidity pools that you can find here.
If you’re not clear on how to Yield farm, no worries, you can check this medium article created by the Liquid Collectibles team for instructions on how to do it.

III. Basic instructions if you want to participate in Liquid Collectibles
1. Tokenizing
Why you should tokenize an NFT
By tokenizing an NFT, you get NFT Indexes (NFTi). NFTi are liquid-fungible tokens that claim 105:1 on NFT from a given collection. You can use your tokenized NFTi to:
– Add liquidity (LP), stake and earn profit rewards
– Collect an NFT from a collection (105 NFTi: 1 NFT)
– Trade for other tokens in AMM like ApeSwap
Important: Please note that the exact NFT that you submit to the collection may not be available later if you want to recover it as someone else may have obtained it.
So how to tokenize NFTs
Tokenizing an NFT is very easy, just follow the steps below to be a happy #HODLer of some NFT Indexes.
➛ Visit https://liquidcollectibles.io/collections
➛ Connect your wallet
➛ Select your NFT collection *
➛ Click the “Owned by me” filter

2. Collecting
Liquid Collectibles allows users to acquire NFTs using NFT Indexes.
By collecting an NFT you take ownership of the underlying asset. If you find a rare NFT (or just an NFT you like), you might want to acquire it and keep it in your wallet.
How can I collect NFTs?
To collect NFTs you need NFT Indexes from the collection you’re interested in or $BNB. Just follow the steps below and ignore step 4 if you already got your NFTi or if you’re buying directly with $BNB.
(Liquid Monsters is used as an example below)
➛ Visit the https://liquidcollectibles.io/collections
➛ Connect your wallet
➛ Choose the Liquid Monsters collection
➛ Click “Buy $LIMOi” (That’s how Liquid Monsters NFTi are called).
➛ Once you got your $LIMOi tokens click “Buy | Random collect”
➛ Confirm, wait, and that’s it!
If you’re interested in getting an NFT from a different collection the process is exactly the same, just be aware that each collection has its own NFTi so make sure you get the correct one or buy directly with $BNB.
3. Staking
Stake $LICO to earn new tokens
When you stake on Liquid Collectibles you get rewarded in $LICO or partner tokens.
How to stake on Liquid Collectibles?

4. Yielding
When you yield on Liquid Collectibles you’re rewarded not only with NFTi but also with $LICO tokens, that means double reward for one single yield 👀 if that’s not enough I don’t know what is 🙈
How to yield on Liquid Collectibles?
Yielding is not as easy as staking, but don’t worry, we’ll explain the process below.
First, check for available Yields on https://liquidcollectibles.io/yields and and find the one(s) you’re interested in.
Let’s assume you’re interested in the BNB-LICO yield, in order to yield you’ll need to add liquidity first to acquire some BNB-LICO LP tokens. You can add liquidity through ApeSwap.finance. Once you’ve added liquidity, follow these steps:
➛ Visit: https://liquidcollectibles.io/yields
➛ Make sure your wallet is connected
➛ Approve the contract for the corresponding yield
➛ Click the plus sign “+” button
➛ Choose the amount to yield
➛ Confirm, and that’s it!

Important: Providing liquidity is not without risk as you may be exposed to impermanent loss.
