The https://volatility.art website will validate the owner of the VLY token before granting access to purchase the print.
The VLY token owner will first have 21 hours to exclusively purchase the 1/1 print.
Other VLY token owners will next have 21 hours to purchase the 1/1 print on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The public will next have 21 days to purchase the 1/1 print on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If no print has been purchased by the end of this period, the physical print will not exist.
