Platform Policies
TideTurner NFT Alpha-1 Series
Last updated December 17, 2025
This document defines the utility attributes, limits, and behavior of the TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT Series (“Alpha-1”).
It is incorporated by reference into the TideTurner NFT Program Policy, the NFTs, Crypto & Payments Policy, and the Fisheez Terms of Service.
This document applies only to the Alpha-1 series.
Future TideTurner series may define different attributes.
1. Purpose of the Alpha-1 Series
TideTurner Alpha-1 NFTs are utility access NFTs that provide:
-
Platform service fee discounts applied to buyers at checkout
-
Access to defined Shorefront subscription tiers
-
Listing capacity alignment
-
Advertising and charity participation benefits
Alpha-1 NFTs are not investment products, do not represent profit rights, and do not guarantee resale value.
2. Who Benefits from a TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT
Buyers
-
The buyer always pays the Fisheez platform service fee.
-
If either the buyer or seller holds a TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT, the buyer receives the highest available discount at checkout.
-
Discounts apply only to the platform service fee, not to:
-
Item price
-
Shipping
-
Taxes
-
Seller payouts
-
Discounts never stack. The single best discount is applied automatically.
Sellers
-
Sellers never pay the platform service fee.
-
Sellers always receive their full listing price plus any buyer-paid shipping amount, minus any applicable promoter commission.
-
TideTurner Alpha-1 NFTs define a maximum Shorefront level a seller may access, but do not replace a Shorefront subscription.
Shorefront Subscription Rules
-
A seller may subscribe to any Shorefront tier at or below the level unlocked by their TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT.
-
Sellers may also subscribe to a higher Shorefront tier, but TideTurner benefits remain capped at the level defined by the NFT.
-
If no paid Shorefront subscription is active, the seller defaults to Shorefront Level 1 capacity.
In that case:
-
TideTurner fee discounts and non-capacity benefits still apply.
-
Listing limits, live selling tools, and usage limits follow Shorefront Level 1.
3. Alpha-1 Tier Mapping & Listing Limits
Each TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT corresponds to a Shorefront access level and listing capacity.
| TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT | Shorefront Level | Listing Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Seahorse | Shorefront 2 | 100 listings |
| Starfish | Shorefront 3 | 250 listings |
| Dolphin | Shorefront 4 | 500 listings |
| Octopus | Shorefront 5 | 1,000 listings |
| Whale | Shorefront 6 | 5,000 listings |
Important:
Platform fee discounts apply only up to the listing limit of the active Shorefront tier associated with the NFT.
Listings beyond that limit do not receive TideTurner-based fee discounts unless another eligible discount applies.
4. Platform Service Fee Discounts (Alpha-1)
Alpha-1 TideTurner NFTs provide the following platform service fee discounts:
| TideTurner Alpha-1 NFT | Platform Fee Discount |
|---|---|
| Seahorse | 20% off |
| Starfish | 33% off |
| Dolphin | 50% off |
| Octopus | 75% off |
| Whale | 100% off |
Discounts apply only to the platform service fee and are calculated according to the Fisheez Platform Fee Schedule.
5. Additional Alpha-1 Benefits
Each Alpha-1 NFT also provides:
-
Advertising Fee Discount: 10% off
-
Charity Votes: Based on Shorefront level unlocked by the NFT
These benefits apply automatically while the NFT is held.
6. Discount Precedence & Calculation
When multiple discounts are available, Fisheez applies only the single highest discount.
Discount precedence is evaluated as follows:
-
Buyer Shorefront discount
-
Seller Shorefront discount
-
Buyer TideTurner Alpha-1 discount
-
Seller TideTurner Alpha-1 discount
The best discount wins.
Discounts never stack.
7. Change Protection & Grandfathering
-
Alpha-1 utility attributes are fixed at the time of mint.
-
Fisheez may introduce future TideTurner series with different attributes.
-
Existing Alpha-1 NFTs will never lose utility.
-
Changes to Shorefront limits or fee structures apply only to future series unless explicitly stated otherwise.
8. No Investment Representation
TideTurner Alpha-1 NFTs:
-
Do not represent equity, profit rights, or revenue sharing
-
Do not guarantee resale value or appreciation
-
Provide only platform access and fee-related utilities
Ownership confers use-based benefits only within the Fisheez platform.
9. Governing Documents
This specification is governed by and incorporated into:
-
Fisheez Terms of Service
-
NFTs, Crypto & Payments Policy

Platform Fee Schedule
