NFT

mickalawl

It's probably more that the NFT is a waste of time. A centralised entity running a centralised compliance check is always better of using a centralised solution. A blockchain is for decentralisation and the compromises required to enable permissionless and distributed functionality will make it functionally useless compared to all other technologies. You would only accept those significant limitations and trade offs for a serious decentralisation use case. Which KYC is not if it is conducted by an issuing authority. You can grant a cryptographic token or key without involving unessary layers of useless complexity such as a blockchain for a central use case.

Yeah I was thinking about this. I need to find a way to leave my NFT collection to my kids. /s

You have just confused 'Ethereum' - the network, with 'ETH' (or 'ether') - which is the asset. Ethereum is still 'the world computer', it is being used by the biggest financial institutions in the world to tokenize assets ('RWAs') onto. Users include Blackrock - the largest asset manager; JP Morgan - the largest bank by market capitalization; UBS - the biggest wealth manager; Fidelity - the 3rd biggest asset manager, etc etc. As well as RWAs the network also carries more value in stablecoins than every other chain combined, and more value in DeFi than every other chain combined. Rollups have been built on-top of Ethereum by Sony, LG, Robinhood, Deutsche Bank, and almost every major exchange except Binance. Public goods projects include digital IDs in places like Buenos Aires and Bhutan; fundraising by traditional institutions like Unicef and crypto-native projects like Gitcoin. We could go on, but you get the idea... Ethereum the network is the world computer. ---------- 'ETH' though isn't a computer, it's an asset that can be used to buy computation on Ethereum. Lots of the recent upgrades to Ethereum have been designed to increase the network's capacity, through scaling the L1 and by reducing costs for L2s. This has meant that the supply of blockspace increased faster than the demand, meaning it got cheaper. As ETH is used to buy blockspace, this reduced demand for ETH the asset. Demand for blockspace has increased over this time however, and continues to do so. More gas (the measure of 'computation') is being used per second now than at any time before, a lot more than even at the peak of the NFT craze. But users aren't noticing because blockspace supply has increased so much too. At some point in the future the increasing demand will start pushing up against the increased limits again, but the longer that can be put off the better, as although it keeps the demand for ETH down, it also allows much more use/adoption... which is surely the point of a blockchain! As far as the 'store of value', in order to use the network you have to buy gas, and you can only buy gas with ETH. Demand for gas will increase and so demand for ETH will increase. This is the reason it's a better store value than BTC. Demand doesn't only come from the hope that there will always be a 'greater fool' to buy the coin and speculate on further increases... entities actually use it and so organic demand is up-only. Electric Capital wrote a decent report looking specifically at stablecoin adoption growth, but the principle is similar for other types of tokenization as well. https://electriccapital.substack.com/p/beyond-stablecoins-the-case-for-ethereum

No one is taking this seriously and it's understandable because crypto is basically at its lowest point right now in terms of mainstream public perception. However, if you are actually taking things seriously and not just like some roulette wheel spin, try not to think of cryptocurrency only in terms of fiat value or speculative prospects. Try to look deeper into what projects are actually building and the technology involved, and what might actually have an organic and important future use case. Things like decentralized permanent distributed storage, immutable properties and robust node networks that can do things like verify if photos/video are real and came from a camera (not AI produced or manipulated), true built-in non-optional fungibility and privacy to truly function like digital cash, NFT and gaming chains built not on hype but on actual games that people play for fun and not for speculative gains. The key thing to remember when you are buying low, is that risk of failure is very high. But this makes this a very good time for asymmetric gains if things turn around. Look for projects that are down, but still building. Avoid hype. Expect that any money you put in has a very good chance to go to zero -- this has always been the first rule of investing in extremely volatile assets like crypto, and it's even more important to understand when the risks are even higher. While I think anyone still truly interested in cryptocurrency and decentralized project ethos should do their own research, just to give anyone reading this some idea of what sorts of projects I'm talking about as concrete examples you can check out and branch from there for yourselves: * Monero (XMR) - ASIC-resistant proof of work and still true to ethos. Privacy, and whether it increases in value or not is actually not that important to me -- the most important aspect is that it is actually used for a practical purpose and the chain functions solidly and in true decentralized fashion. Development continues to be robust and forward thinking. * Arweave (AR) - this chain is about permanent usable storage. With data disappearing from centralized databases left and right and movements like datahoarding becoming more prominent, this chain has a very real and important function right now, and may become increasingly important in the future. The chain has also explored more development layers like video hosting and other decentralized compute, but to me the core and currently functional practical use case is permanent data storage. Development continues and the network remains robust despite low valuations. * Chia (XCH) - despite being near lowest of low valuation, development continues and the blockchain remains rock solid with thousands of distributed nodes. The development team is very proactive with security and forward thinking -- always doing the hard foundational things and don't chase hype/pumps. This said, Chia Network company funding future is a very real concern and risk, and it's uncertain to what extent development would continue or how much community support would continue on if the company dissolves, but there's currently likely at least 12 month of status quo runway and developments like Chia gaming, not.bot, and some grassroots community projects continue on. I treat this one as very high risk, very high reward potential type of thing, but for now development continues in very robust fashion despite basically being at ATL.

Holding $coin has been rough. Thankfully I sold a bunch at $300 but decided to let the rest ride out....yea bad idea. Their business acquired way too much garbage that didn't pan out at all. They spent billions on Deribit only for their perps products to flop. Spent billions more on stupid NFT shit, agentic trading, Base, etc. All flops. Now Brian is publicly setting sells quote "much higher than the current price". Yea, ok. Doesn't inspire confidence at all.

I made money off of Trump coin because I knew it would be a rug pull from the beginning. So I waited for it to run up and shorted it on margin and made more money off of that than any other single trade I made this year. But over 20 million Americans did get scammed. You say it's a collectible, right? Wrong. A collectible has value due to its collection. If someone sells you a Pokémon card, that card isn't going to lose value if they also sell their massive stache. In fact, it's likely to gain value if that happens. With crypto, which is an *asset* not a collectible, if the person issuing the coin self deals and sells it out from under everyone, we call that fraud. There are a handful of celebrities that were prosecuted and charged for doing *the exact same thing* before the Trump administration came in and removed the SECs authority to do so and neutered the prosecutorial body. It is still fraud. You cannot disburse an asset and then sell it out from under the purchasers. It's fraud in every sense of the word. I don't care that *you* think it isn't, I'm going by the legal definition and jurisprudence established in US courts. The one and only reason they are not being prosecuted is because they intentionally neutered the SECs enforcement mechanism a month before they started issuing their scam coins. You calling it a collectible is a fundamental misunderstanding. NFTs are collectible. Their value is dependent on the item and has no algorithmic tie to selling. If he distributed a Trump NFT, it wouldn't have been fraud. A coin has an algorithmic tie to selling. When you distribute an asset (again, it is classified as an asset due to the nature of its valuation, and arguing otherwise is entirely asinine), and then you sell your predistributed shares in coordination with your inner circle to cash in on the value while tanking it for normal investors, you have participated in what the finance community calls a rug pull, which is outlawed under both securities and commodities law. Meaning, even if it was a collectible (a commodity–which it is not), it would still constitute fraud. The problem? The current regulatory framework says it's neither a security nor a commodity but it is an asset, so there is no way to enforce legal action. Is it fraud? Yes, clearly, and absolutely. But is it legal? Not exactly, but its also not illegal as there is no enforcement mechanism. It's kind of like tax evasion via foreign currency vaults. Everyone recognizes it as tax evasion, but the US has no jurisdiction or governing body capable of prosecution. It's almost like tax evasion via "charitable donation" to a charity you head or founded and have a revenue stream from. Everyone recognizes it as tax evasion, but we don't have laws on the books to prosecute.

Thank you, interesting. My understanding was WSB hated crypto. In fact there was a weird overlapping when GameStop announced a sort of NFT/blockhain project after it raised the money from the stock appreciation.

alt-co

Pretty classic case, and more fixable than you’d think. The blockchain is your receipt. Even with no chat logs, each sale usually shows up on-chain as two matching events: the NFT leaving your wallet to an address, and ETH arriving from that same address around the same time. That’s a P2P trade, and it reads like one on the blockchain. Here's what we’d add around it: * Proof you control the wallets (a signed message or a small test transaction, this shows that it's your wallet that received the NFTs) * What the collection was trading at on the day of each sale. Overpriced NFT sales are a known laundering pattern, so showing yours matched the market answers that question before it’s asked * Screening of the buyers’ wallets, since “random dudes” is the one part a compliance officer will want checked * Any Discord or Telegram screenshots you still have, as supporting rather than main evidence We’ve done this for plenty of people who traded peer to peer or bought with cash back in the day. Before AML rules caught up with crypto, LocalBitcoins, meetups and cash deals were simply how a lot of people got in. A good report explains that context, then backs it with whatever trail exists: matching cash withdrawals from your bank, old platform account data, and the on-chain history from that point on. Although as we are not accountants, the focus is on the trades that made the money. Losing trades rarely need the same level of evidence.

Thank you for your response. You mentioned artist discords. Do you know of any artist discords that I should join or do you know how I can find NFT discords? Right now I’m just looking at the search results on Google for NFTs discord.

I am really grateful for your advice. I have to create an actual utility for the token. I plan to make a rust server and give access to the community via token holders and other means. My community is very pessimistic about crypto. But NFT gated is a very valuable advice. I appreciate that. True Having people bound with the address and balance is not the best way. The more anonymous is the better.

TrueJuggernaut5783

This the kind of project that could actually work if you keep expectations grounded. Most community tokens die because the devs promise moon and deliver nothing, but you already got years of community behind you which is more than 99% of launches here. The wallet check thing for downloads is tricky. You probably want something server-side that just verifies token balance without exposing any private info, maybe look at how some NFT-gated sites handle it since the principle is same. Not a dev myself but i've seen communities fall apart when the token price dips and suddenly nobody cares about the utility. If you can make the gaming content actually good enough that people want it regardless of token value, that's the real test.

Competitive_Milk_638

I just assumed OpeanSea went under with the whole NFT scam craze and would ignore anything from them, real or fake. Nobody's going to pay serious money for blockchained links to JPGs. They're not even the JPGs themselves, just links.

mrjune2040

NFT’s are still a great case for digitally native art (ie generative via ArtBlocks etc), and those early on-chain creators (via protocols like Counterparty) are how the NFT’s as we know them came to be. But that sector constitutes a really small portion of the total traded. But most NFT’s are shitcoins in disguise, and Blur was a huge advocator for that sector of the market (so unsurprising it closed down). NFT’s are still a great way to transfer digital ownership, and perhaps there’s a second wind for AI agents at some point for provable on-chain transactions (between them) beyond buy/sell.

Hitachi22

The recent partnership with delorean? That car is never getting built. They'll sell you an NFT for $2500 that's non refundable.  They even have their own token, DMC that they rug pulled. So many red flags all around 

No_Balls_No_Glory

Thats what we thought about Metaverse, NFT and so on

Hitachi22

Not a single word about how they plan to actually fund production. I guess you'll be driving around in your NFT. LMFAO

maternoeslovo

I wholeheartedly agree that crypto has to be decentralised as it initially was designed. But at this point the whole cryptocurrency industry is gathered around "who has more TPS" and "who has more ETFs approved" and adoption (read: large funds acquired large portions of supply) rather than being decentralised. The whole narrative was hijacked. BTC narrative shifting from "new money" to "store of value" was narrative hijack. If 2-3 mining entities aligned BTC can be hijacked entirely, yet we consider it the most decentralised. I'm not even trying to be contrarian, that's just how it is. ETH whales who participated in ICO are praying that something will keep the chain alive (decentralisation, NFT cults, 99th L2 chain) so they can finally break even on their ETH/BTC entry. wrt to rug pulls, as a person who ran multiple projects (memes and not) with less than 2% of supply concentrated in my hands I guarantee you Newton's laws and theories have more to do with price action and project's success/failure than decentralisation.

TheRed2685

I'd prefer less alt coins because they're starting to seem more like worthless NFT saturation with people trading them simply to trade and not because of any actual value proposition. I got into crypto like 2 years ago and tbh the sheer amount of coins was overwhelming as a newbie. It just looks like a TON of junk out there.

Post is by: MrIntellyless1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/theta_network/comments/1wvqk2g/the_forgotten_token/ When we're talking about the Theta Network, TFuel quickly becomes the talk of the town, even above Theta itself. Only one token is missing from the conversation: TDrop. At first glance, it's quite understandable: * **TFuel** is the dedicated Gas token and the Edge Compute utility token. With the hyperscalers scaling up their compute power and the emerging AI Agent market, the Edge Cloud and Edge nodes are a breath of fresh air. * **Theta** is the layer-1 Governance token, protecting the network and governing its rules. However, when we talk about Theta, we mostly talk about the network itself, not so much the token. * **TDrop** is historically associated with NFTs. While NFTs are still useful for countless applications, they're no longer a hot topic, and the TDrop 2.0 whitepaper update went almost completely unnoticed by the wider community. # The core problem: Economic stress on TFuel To understand why TDrop 2.0 matters, we have to realize that **TFuel can't do everything**. Because the Theta Network's core value proposition is to remain significantly cheaper than centralized cloud giants like AWS and Google, TFuel's economy should stay within its intended purpose. For example, if AI agents start lending and selling products and services to each other in TFuel, the TFuel economy would grow far beyond the Edge Compute economy. This would make compute power and transaction gas too expensive to compete with centralized data centers. # TDrop 2.0: The Application-Layer Utility TDrop was initially created as the main currency for the ThetaDrop NFT market for the same reason TDrop 2.0 expands its purpose to the application layer market. That reason is to divert the economic stress of NFT and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) transactions away from the TFuel economy to keep network compute costs competitive. Therefore, instead of forcing TFuel to scale into an expensive multi-purpose token for every software interaction, TDrop 2.0 positions the token as the application-layer utility, governance token, and primary currency for the emerging AI agent economy. Since the TDrop 2.0 update, TDrop's use case has increased significantly, and it has been directly integrated into the Edge Cloud ecosystem as a payment system and usage rebate. Further, TDrop has been integrated into Shopify merchandise rewards, and the TDrop staking rewards have been extended through 2030. These are not minor updates, and more updates are being planned. To give another example: * **Agent A:** needs a very specific service to complete a task * **Agent B:** provides that service, but it uses a specific program that requires a license. Agent B therefore requires a payment to deliver that service. **If paid in TFuel:** It would stress the TFuel market because less TFuel would be available for edge computing. This, in turn, would inflate TFuel's market value, making edge computing unnecessarily expensive. **If paid in TDrop:** TFuel's market is stressed only by the gas cost of the transaction; the rest of the transaction value stresses the TDrop market. Because TDrop has a token cap of 20 billion, roughly 3-4 times larger than TFuel and 20 times larger than Theta, it can absorb more economic value, and whether the total market value inflates beyond TFuel or even Theta is not a problem for TDrop, because it's intended to be a high-velocity transactional token. The Theta Network tokenomics are carefully designed to keep the market value of each token where it belongs: * **Theta:** The layer-1 utility and governance token, meant to protect the Network and to govern its rules. With a token cap of 1 billion, Theta likely will remain the highest value per token. * **TFuel:** The dedicated gas and Edge Compute token meant to transact between raw compute power and the computing agent. With no fixed token cap and a current circulating supply of roughly 7.5 billion. At this point, the circulating supply is inflationary but is meant to be deflationary once the AI Agent market is fully operational. Because tech and compute power per dollar tends to be deflationary, TFuel's circulating supply will eventually be as well. * **TDrop:** The dedicated application layer utility and governance token, meant to act as the primary currency between AI agents and the NFT market. With a token cap of 20 billion, TDrop can absorb far more economic value without supply running dry. # What this doesn't mean: This does not mean Theta's or TFuel's token value cannot inflate; as long as the edge compute market inflates, TFuel's value will too. TFuel's token value simply cannot inflate beyond its intended purpose, keeping the network cheap and competitive overall. For Theta, as long as the Network grows, the need to protect it increases, creating more incentive to stake Theta and raising its value. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Is it fuck! Blockchain gaming sank is NFT's. Get over it bro...

hybridck

Not me but I knew someone who was into those pump and dump NFT launches when they were still a thing in like 2021. She wasn't the orchestrator for them but would get paid to promote them in ETH and be given priority to mint whatever NFT project at launch, which she'd quickly just dump. Eventually she realized she was basically working 40 hours a week as a glorified social media manager for these launches for kinda crappy pay when you considered the time investment and quit.

greglogan84

This is a pretty good example of why **old approvals are still part of your attack surface even when the app itself is long gone**. A lot of users mentally treat “I stopped using that marketplace” as equivalent to “it no longer has access,” but on-chain approvals don’t work like that. If the approval was never revoked, the contract can still have permission years later. The biggest takeaway for me isn’t even NFTs specifically — it’s that approval hygiene should probably be treated like password hygiene: * periodically review token/NFT approvals * revoke anything tied to apps you no longer use * be extra cautious with `approveForAll` * don’t assume a deprecated frontend means the underlying contract is harmless Also shows the tradeoff with immutable contracts pretty clearly. Immutability is great for removing admin trust, but if there’s a serious bug and no pause/upgrade path, there may be no clean emergency response. Credit to 0xQuit for catching it, but relying on a whitehat to outrun an attacker obviously isn’t a security model anyone wants. For anyone checking approvals after reading this: type the revocation site URL yourself and verify the contract addresses independently. This kind of incident is exactly when phishing links pretending to be “revoke” or “recovery” tools tend to appear.

Express-Economist-86

I bought SATA and STRC in a reputable broker. I use Fidelity, and I love the platform, although there’s other decent ones. SATA pays a daily dividend, STRC is twice a month. Over time, I’ve basically added a month of income to my year. I use the dividend from my bitcoin-backed stocks to buy Bitcoin pretty much whenever I feel like it in fidelity. Takes a day to settle the payment and then I can transfer from my stock account to my crypto account. Significant up days I’ll take a little profit, set another sell order for even higher and a bigger buy order a bit below. If I miss, I’ll just wait a bit or maybe buy some more STRC and SATA to get that income higher. If I get a big enough payout, I’ll begrudgingly buy a more aged dividend payer. They pay less, but they’re more stable by virtue of long existence. It’s a long and slow climb. I’m basically counting on 5-10 years of struggle. I may eventually back this whole operation up as an LLC with abundant mines (hosted miners) or the GoMining app (digital NFT miners) for tax breaks. Any of these carry significant risks and are worth learning and plotting the math and taxes BEFORE you enter - this is just how I roll. However, after getting settled into a rhythm with my dividends, it at least feels like free money, and I like that my inflatable bucks are working for me faster than any other rate of return I’ve seen. It would absolutely be faster to just buy bitcoin, but my $100 stock that pays me all the time is psychologically easier to cope with than putting in a hundred bucks to BTC, watching the chart, and getting heated.

If NFT's seemed a good idea in your eyes in the first place: Consider selling everything

RatherCynical

This is a stupid way to frame it. Crypto sources its funds from ordinary banks. People put their savings into DeFi because when banks pay 0-2%, NOT using DeFi is losing money to inflation. That's where all the ETH, DOT, ADA, AVAX, FTM, MATIC, NEAR, and every other NFT going crazy comes from. Without that money, no alt-season. Because we shifted regime from nearly 2 decades of 0-2% interest to a 4%+ interest regime, the death of alt-season happened in 2022. It's never about "crypto being a lifestyle". It's about the money valve getting firmly clamped shut

No_Champion2428

The scale between the 2 is totally different. I used to think that AI bubble is the same but at some point it really could be too big to fail. The government will have to bail them out and if that doesn't work, it could be a total systematic failure. I do think that AI is overvalued but i think the most likely outcome is a correction instead of something like NFT bubble.

Detailed23

Who TF bought into the NFT hype ?? lol

GiveNothing

Exactly why crypto is so shit. I can use AI to solve problems. While I dont understand half the stuff youre talking about in NFT

keen23331

nah NFT never had any value or was useful. AI is useful but the valuation some companies got because people assumed they are the only with a frontiert models will not hold ...

12161986

I presume the AI Bubble pop will have much more damage on the world than the NFT Bubble pop. The NFT bubble was limited to the crypto space in a lot of the most important metrics whereas AI is in everything. AI is being built into a lot of things and all the systems it's being built into might fall apart when the bubble bursts depending on what happens to whatever model or company was used. The money thrown into NFTs and crypto at that time is nowhere near the money being thrown into AI. I wouldn't be too surprised if it kills the country or economy. There's all these highly rich people and giant companies pouring their money into these AI Companies, some of whom have said they cannot make a profit and have no path to profit, and what'll happen is they'll open up investing or shares to the public and retirement fund and ETFs and allow the American citizens to buy into the industry as the insiders exit using retail/citizens as their exit liquidity. So yeah, big bummer but what do I know? Not a lot.

Objective_Basil_8414

The difference that matters is where the money lands. NFT money went from one speculator to another, so when belief died the price died with it and nothing was left behind. AI money is going into data centers, power contracts and chips that exist whether the hype survives or not. That doesn't make the valuations sane, it just means the failure mode is different: NFTs went to zero, over-built infrastructure gets sold cheap to whoever is still standing. Railroads and fiber both crashed hard and both left something behind.

LeiaCaldarian

No. NFT’s never had any vue, AI does.

deadheadshredbreh

NFT’s had literally 0 utility where as AI has proven to have tons of utility so I definitely wouldn’t compare the 2

xrv01

NFTs were actually snake oil… at least you can do cool shit with AI.. AI is a bubble, but not in the crypto/NFT sense

cassandra112

no. NFT's had niche use cases, which were never really utilized. ignored by government and big tech. only crytobro investors. they had massive backlash from general public due to having no idea what they were. and extreme backlash from outrage mob and niche communities. A.i. has widespead use cases. are being incorporated into everything constantly. openly funded by government and big tech. has minimal backlash from general public (who still also has non idea what it is), and extreme backlash from outrage mob, and niche communities.

EricoS1970

lol, you comparing NVIDIA to a jpeg. NFT were a scam from the start just like 99 of alt coins out there.

rayquan36

> I noticed that some redditors had predicted the popping of the NFT bubble very early in 2021, despite all the massive hype and enthusiasm surrounding it at the time. Redditors are really doomer. You can find reddit posts about bubbles bursting for everything you can think of.

miniMilk1904

wat? NFT are useless. AI is by far most influencial "invention" since iphone

200gVeganSausage

Comparing NFT and AI is crazy

Atmacrush

The endgame of AI is military use, surveillance, pr0n, meme videos, and so on. Most AI companies might go bankrupt, but those that survive will be the next Amazon and Google. NFT had a purpose which was tokenized ownership of real estates, but Seth Green losing his Ape NFT from phishing and pausing his animated show indefinitely made the concept too dangerous. Proof of ownership on paper is just better.

shosuko

NFT? No. NFT never had a real use case that was worth the hype. AI is more like the internet - when the internet bubble burst a lot of companies broke but anything that wasn't hype remained and we got stuff like google and myspace etc. AI is going to remain a valuable tech, it will probably just get less subsidized by investors as they start to seek returns instead. You'll know we're entering that phase when every chat interaction requires 2 minutes of ad viewing or credits lol Take advantage of the cheap compute while you can.

What if it's not speculation though. If the carbon market moves on chain that'll change just like most things that are moving on chain. But yeah no one has a crystal ball so you never know. Just thinking out loud of what could be. At the end of the day, it's a NFT art piece and tokenized a historical solar generation at this point in time. Hopefully we can move beyond that soon though. Thanks for the input though.

So a company buys a NFT to satisfy current sustainability goals. What would be the purpose of somebody buying it later? Surely other people meeting sustainability goals would want to buy a token representing new renewable energy generation. What’s the point of swapping this historical record?

Rude-Collection-601

thanks for the feedback right now we're pushing towards the upgoing dev of the app for Seeker / Android / iOS, tho I had testers telling me that the hardware is pretty good to have a real connection with your NFT bring it with you on your backpack, adventures.. Think about the hardware as being able to work standalone the same way your Apple Watch doesn't need to be next to your phone to work and being connected.

Outflow_

Because you can tokenize the MWh production data easily. So the NFT is the solar layout then the token bound contract holds the ERC-20 Outflow tokens which = 1 MWh historical solar generation.

crazybird-thereal

What is the purpose of adding an NFT (wich is crypto) for "historical production" as every body who already produce known how many Mw they produce ?

Outflow_

It’s not crypto. It’s a NFT with a historical megawatt hour. It think it’s pretty clear and we’re transparent on what it is so disagree.

Outflow_

Yeah the EU is a leader in the environmental credit market. As far as the solar systems, only in the US right now but as far as selling the NFTs with Outflow, anyone can buy them. I agree though. I'm not sure what you call environmental credits in the EU but here they are called Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). I know the EU has very strict high quality standards too. Our Outflow could technically qualify as RECs but i'm careful about the claims we're making since our methodology is innovative so I just want to be careful there but they ultimately could. The owners of the solar systems own the rights to their RECs so we have the ability too. People sell NFT art and that's what this is at it's current stage. If you go to our OpenSea account: [https://opensea.io/\_outflow\_/galleries](https://opensea.io/_outflow_/galleries) we have our NFTs listed without Outflow tokens but that's what we are doing next is attaching Outflow so solar production to our NFTs. Also, the NFT art are created from the permitted engineered plansets and construction photos it took to build the solar energy systems. This is not crypto. It's a tokenized historical solar electricity megawatt hour. Our goal is to start here. When people buy our NFTs regardless if they have Outflow tokens or not they are supporting the larger vision of Outflow which is to move the worlds energy infrastructure towards decentralized electricity e.g. rooftop solar or in general behind the meter solar projects. We don't do utility scale or centralized solar projects as discussed. Check us out on OpenSea.

MinimalGravitas

None of what you wrote is true. Gas used on L1 is pretty much at an all-time high, about double what it was during the gas fee spikes around the NFT craze: https://etherscan.io/chart/gasused The reason gas prices are so much lower now is due to massive improvements in scaling. There is more throughput than ever before. Where have you picked up the idea that fees are lower due to reduced use? Whoever told you that is clearly not checking actual data, presumably either due to incompetence or intentionally wanting to mislead you. Either way, they are not useful to you, unless you want to be misled.

never_safe_for_life

>It's more of a artifact and art piece This is just the vague "I'll make it an NFT and call it an art piece" grift. No offense intended. Just let go of that idea because you and 1000 crypto grifters have tried that angle. Don't know anything about the REC market but maybe you can convince people to allocate them to you. But to be clear, a blockchain does absolutely nothing for you. See other posters comments about oracle trust / proving you actually expended energy. It can't be done. I'd even argue a blockchain hurts you as most outside the crypto sphere will see it as scummy. Good luck with your venture. Bringing more solar onto the grid is awesome and I hope you have much success.

Outflow_

So it's a ERC-721 NFT with the token bound contract ERC-6551 and ERC-20 tokens that represent the Outflow. Here's a screenshot of the solar system project details. The token (Outflow): Each token represents exactly 1 megawatt-hour of verified solar production. New tokens can only be minted by one specific, designated address (the oracle contract that verifies real production) that address can be swapped out later if needed, but nothing else can ever mint. There's no fixed supply cap; the only limit is how much real, verified production exists. There is double counting logic though. The NFT collection: No fixed number of NFTs — the collection grows forever, one new NFT for every newly verified megawatt-hour. Same deal as the token: only one designated address can mint, and it's replaceable if needed. Each NFT's artwork is set individually when it's minted and can't be changed afterward. There's no built-in royalty cut enforced by the contract itself. The wallet inside each NFT (ERC-6551 token bound account): Every NFT gets its own individual on-chain wallet created at mint time, and that wallet holds exactly one Outflow token — permanently. The verification contract (oracle receiver): It takes a cryptographically signed reading from an oracle pulling live data from the solar system's own inverter, sanity-checks it against what's physically plausible, then records it. Minting itself is a separate, manual step triggered afterward, and it tracks which specific verification backs each individual megawatt-hour. What are your thoughts here? Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/dfnuhb0jmtoh1.png?width=858&format=png&auto=webp&s=431fe5eaa94bcff93e7bdb8fedddc83a16ed58f1

This is a play on RECs. (Certificates). ERC-6551 is the wrong vehicle. Remember, the generated electricity is spent. The solar system should be the NFT. Further, What are the properties of the contract?

Outflow_

Yeah you make good points here. That's part of the reason why Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) may be the path forward. If outflow tokens represented the environmental credits and not a historical record they could then be sold to corporations in the voluntary REC market which larger trading platforms who trade RECs are exploring. But why are these things valuable? Yeah agree with you somewhat here. That's why we kind of took the NFT angle the holds the Outflow tokens for now. It's more of a artifact and art piece for now that has a historical record of solar electricity tied to it. We agree though it's not perfect. Ideally we would like it to represent solar electricity and I think there's a path forward there but you have to start somewhere. If we tokenize solar electricity we would have to operate in deregulated electricity markets like Texas or New York unless you did Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) from our understanding which would be difficult B2C but not B2B we think. On the corporations side, if they did represent RECs they could offset corporations Scope 2 emissions under the GHG protocol which they are already doing and the market is growing. Maybe not in USA but globally. Either way companies are going to do what they want to do. Was there some other reason these things will have value? For right now, no, unless we claim these as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) which this system would be able to. Does that make a difference? We didn't know if that would matter to B2C because even if it did have utility like a REC (which currently RECs trade at $1-3 on current trading platforms) would people just hold and if not, who would they sell it to? In the current voluntary REC market corporations retire RECs and claim them for their scope 2 emission reductions claims like we said. You could have the Outflow tokens have a burn function, in theory, companies could buy them from B2C and they could burn the tokens. It would mimic what's happening off chain but the on chain version of the current REC market today. What do you think of that? You think that would hold?

LeRichelieu

Yes this one is a scam. The 0.1 BTC threshold to withdraw was a cue here. Always test withdrawals first, to a transition wallet, before really considering it. They aren’t all scams, but many are, or offering very little return. I make a couple of bucks a week on most I use. Some are subscription-based and other require you to buy a miner NFT (rights to part of it hashing power), usually requiring at least one year to cover investment before any profit, while hoping the company doesn’t pull the plug. There is only one that has produced interesting results so far (investment repaid and $1000+ profits made) after 2 years and a significant investment first, as well as daily ads viewing to keep the hashing power (that how they make money) from degrading. Sadly the payback was cut in half after 10/10 and did not come back to its previous state. Not sure there are any that offer that kind of return anymore…

hyperliquid is basically printing money off this stuff and nobody talks about it because it's not a shiny new NFT drop or a meme coin doing 1000x. the rwa perp volume is wild though, 2T in a quarter is insane for something that barely existed a year ago as for ETH i think it helps indirectly cause more people using defi perps means more gas burned and more demand for the chain itself even if the price doesn't move much. the real winners are the platforms though no question

I am very aware of the scam you speak of, as well as many other crypto and various scams circulating out there. However, I have to say that the worst scams are often the most insidious—like a Wi-Fi hack where a nefarious email appears to come from your own IP address, an email you never sent. Such malicious activity can lead to devastating consequences, including spending 20 years in federal prison. Look up the punishment for death threat extortion via email—it's severe, and rightfully so. The point is, these tactics are not only illegal but incredibly dangerous, and they should be taken very seriously. The image appears humorous until you consider the implications described—then it takes on a much more disturbing significance. To those interested in crypto, I want to share my experience. This method works because I’ve used it myself. Just to be clear, this isn’t my referral link—I went directly to https://satoshi-box.com/pay/CSLCaQ The price reference I’m sharing is only a fraction of what it costs to have a file created, and there are five files available https://satoshi-box.com/pay/CSLCcY SatoshiBox won’t display the actual price publicly because it can be far too high at times. The process is straightforward—it's essentially about exchanging crypto for crypto or crypto for fiat currency, giving you full control since you own the file and have a contact who can make it work. Please note that the contact link is listed under side hustle. While it may seem he hasn’t completed many jobs, he’s more than capable of handling all his listed skills. I’m sharing this because it worked for me, and I believe it can work for you too. A quick word about SatoshiBox: it’s linked to Bitcoin, and the price can fluctuate wildly.

NFT story reminder

SpartanKing76

At the very beginning there was a plausible case for decentralising currency and having a system that wasn’t at the whim of central banks and fiscal policies. Unfortunately, that has not and will not ever work. Using crypto to pay for things is a mess, it’s all unsafe and the value of it is at the whim of whales - rather than fiscal policy. Therefore it’s much more dangerous and unstable. Generally speaking crypto became a speculative asset for people wanting to get rich quick or for scammers to pump and dump. The meteoric rise of BTC in the early days really did create generational wealth for some people but those were the lucky few who were in early and held on when BTC flew. Everyone else wants a piece of that action but that’s gone now and will never happen again. Sure your BTC might got from 60k to 100k but that’s not generational wealth territory - that’s just a gain. Now lots of people are cultish invested in the dream and refuse to believe the reality, or they’re bag holding, have sunken cost phobia or just have some crypto as a small part of their portfolio. At some point most of crypto will go the way of NFT.

An NFT could be an interesting option if it offers some genuine utility or future benefits rather than just being a collectible.

Post is by: XRPresso_io and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: http://XRPresso.io There’s a lot of talk in crypto about moving value. Payments, settlement, tokenization, ownership, liquidity. But if crypto is going to support a real economy, there’s another problem we have to solve: **How do two people who don’t know each other decide whether they’re comfortable doing business together?** That’s something we’ve been thinking about a lot while building XRPresso. We already had pieces of a trust system spread throughout the marketplace — buyer/seller reviews, marketplace reputation, Linked X accounts, activity history, NFT provenance and collection verification, business reviews, rights attestations for Music, and XRPL-native seller credentials. We’ve now started bringing those pieces together into a public **XRPresso Trust Center**. The idea is deliberately **not** to create one magical “Trust Score.” If I’m buying a physical item, I might care about the seller’s reviews and completed sales. If I’m hiring someone for a service, I probably care about their reviews and completed service engagements. If I’m collecting an NFT, provenance and collection verification may matter much more. If I’m buying music, artist identity and rights attestation are different signals again. Those things shouldn’t all be mashed together and presented as if they mean the same thing. So XRPresso keeps them separate and gives the user the information to make their own decision. **What’s live** The Trust Center is tied to your **public XRPresso seller identity**, not your XRPL payment address. That was important to us. XRPresso already separates public marketplace identity from settlement identity. Your profile and reputation can be visible publicly without automatically turning your XRPL address into your public identity. The wallet is still the login and money path. When a transaction actually requires payment or settlement, the necessary counterparty gets the information required to complete it. We didn’t want adding reputation to undo that privacy model. The Trust Center can now surface things like: \- Marketplace rating and reviews \- Completed physical sales \-Completed service engagements \-Optional marketplace activity \-Linked X identity \-XLS-70 Verified Seller credentials \-Relevant NFT provenance/verification signals \-Artist and rights-attestation signals where appropriate And importantly, we try to label them for what they actually are. **Linked X** does not mean identity verified. **Rights Attested** does not mean Verified Artist. **NFT provenance** does not mean the seller is trustworthy. And an XRPL credential is a particular claim — not a blanket declaration that someone should be trusted. **XRPL Credentials are particularly interesting** XRPresso already uses XLS-70 credential infrastructure. An accepted seller credential can now be projected into the public Trust Center as something like: **Verified Seller** *Credential issued by XRPresso* But the public Trust surface doesn’t need to expose the underlying settlement wallet, credential Subject, transaction hash, or an explorer link to prove it. The server can verify the ledger state and present the relevant claim. That creates an interesting model: **- The ledger provides verification.** **- The marketplace provides reputation.** **- The user keeps custody.** **- What we deliberately did NOT build** No mandatory KYC. No universal Trust Score. No chat surveillance. No custody requirement. No system where holding CREMA somehow gives XRPresso governance over your assets. And no “we hold your keys, therefore trust us.” XRPresso remains non-custodial. The Trust Center is really about organizing the signals that already exist and putting them in front of users when they’re making a commerce decision. And I think this connects to a bigger question for crypto: **What is value if people don’t trust each other enough to exchange it?** The XRP Ledger gives us excellent rails for moving value. But a functioning economy also needs products, services, creators, merchants, reputation, fulfillment and enough trust for two strangers to actually transact. That’s the part we’re trying to build around the ledger with XRPresso. Products. Services. NFTs. Music. Live commerce. Payments. Reputation. And now a more deliberate trust layer tying them together. **- Identity without unnecessary exposure.** **- Reputation without custody.** **- Credentials without mandatory KYC.** **Trust based on signals rather than blind faith in the platform.** I’d genuinely be interested in the community’s view: **When you transact with someone you don’t know on-chain, what trust signals actually matter to you?** And what would you *not* want a marketplace using as a measure of trust?

Prob better to drop them an NFT that could bring them so future benefits

What? The value of the blockchain's native currency would not effect the cost of tokenization expect for the transaction cost to validators. When you create an NFT on ethereum it is not pegged to value of ETH, as an example.

Post is by: Odd_Crow4795 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/defi/comments/1vridyd/next_big_thing_for_nfts_nft_trading_with_daos/ Welcome people, today (well last night) marks the official birthday of Obsurfer a NFT marketplace for trading NFTs as part of a DAO. To be a part of the beta comment your interest below! You can find the project at GitHub mouse-trap-1/obsurfer \\\*\\\*But why a DAO?\\\*\\\* Being part of a collective enables you to share the risk in purchasing new NFTs, splitting the cost with fellow members. Together, you make decisions that affect each trade. No one person is responsible for the success of a trade and it takes the majority to win a proposal. \\\*\\\*How do trades happen?\\\*\\\* A token holder may sell an nft on the platform by submitting the details in the app. DAOs then execute proposals that turn into bids. DAOs bid against each other to get you the highest price for the NFT. Buying an NFT is simple. Select a DAO from the list and browse their wares, select on an NFT to buy. \\\*\\\*Minimized Risk, minimized gain?\\\*\\\* Shared risk, shared gain. The profit distribution is calculated based on how many shares you own. You choose how much to invest and in turn receive as profit. \\\*\\\*There must be more to it?\\\*\\\* Your stake in a DAO holds value. You can sell your shares for a price set by you, handy for when the DAO is full and business is booming to make a bit of quick crypto. \\\*\\\*The legal stuff\\\*\\\* Trading carries risk and while the risk is lessened here it still requires you to invest money into something that may or may not give you returns. Trade at your own risk. \\\*\\\*The technical stuff\\\*\\\* This app is a typescript port of a golang desktop app that used key stores for the wallet. For the Beta, private keys are stored in a database that is encrypted client side by a password of your choice. New wallets are automatically created and it’s recommended that you use an auto generated hot wallet instead of importing a private key from an existing wallet. The beta runs on Sepolia so use a Faucet to get sepolia ETH to start trading on the platform. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Buy an NFT and send it back to them

crimeo

Okay, here: > Did you read anything I wrote? I said they missed a market. They created a market for dog and ape pictures right? The energy would have been better spent and more sustainable if put into actual practical uses such as the suggestion made. I dont give a shit about nfts. They just did it wrong. Thats all. And "the suggestion" in question was: > Would it be lucrative to have "artwork" nft tickets with exclusive features for fans of an event? So you clearly claimed that "having artwork on NFT tickets with exclusive features for fans of an event" was a "practical" thing to do. How, specifically, is it practical?

crimeo

I can't apply a dictionary to a reasoning you haven't given yet. You have to tell me how you think the NFT is practical before I can possibly consider if it's a convincing example of practicality or not. Right now you're doing the equivalent of saying that your couch in your living room is a shade of blue, and expecting me to agree when I haven't seen any photo of it or product name or anything.

crimeo

Tickets are useful, yes, abd 100% of that usefulness exists prior to the NFT being added. Then 0% more is addee by the NFT. Cars are useful. If I tape 20 broken condoms to the car, it's still useful for getting me around. The "upgrade" itself however was not useful

Relevant-Office-8938

Crypto is NFT

MunkberryMoonDelite

To me the most important factor of crypto acceptance would be the widespread use of cryptocurrency in transactions. And so far I’m yet to see any sign of widespread adoption. Outside of the drug business and illicit money trading activities, no one is using crypto to buy or sell things. People are using it as a hedging tool and as an investment instrument. And this ultimately makes crypto no better than NFT where the whole value of cryptocurrency depends almost exclusively on people’s greed and nothing else.

Express-Economist-86

In my early days I lost a couple hundred dollars of BTC on a hot wallet, but after learning and planning from that and comparing it to what I learned and planned in college, I decided it was acceptable tuition. I am but a peasant income-wise, so it stung, but I didn’t die, so it’s not over yet. Instead of simply BTC maxing and holding, I moved into (mainly BTC backed, but still quite diversified) dividend-paying stock. I then learned about President Trump’s “big beautiful bill” which has 100% depreciation on new equipment, and got into physical and NFT hosted miners for some steady gains under a business license. The NFT miners don’t qualify for the same depreciation schedule, those are over 15 years but that’s alright, it offsets taxes paid on daily mining income when I file. Back to the brokerage, I use income from my daily-dividend payer (STRC) to buy BTC in my broker (yeah it’s not my keys - but I move it out when it looks like a scary amount to lose) whenever my in-broker stack says my BTC is down. If BTC is up, I don’t buy it that day, surely one of my diverse dividend-payers is down? I get that instead, and have a commitment to myself to do so every paycheck from working. I estimate I’ve added a bit over a month of cash flow to my year (at a hourly rate I’m ok with) in my dividends, and that’s made it so much easier to stay the course on BTC ventures. Basically feels like free money, and since I’m only buying BTC or elements of my dividend basket (as either turns red), my cost basis is always decreasing and I’m almost daily a little better.

NFT’s are far from dead, that’s the blueprint as to how we tokenize RWA’s in the short future. I think the old ones will come back when the use case is there for real RWA’s. I’m not heavy into them, just mostly BTC, ETH, some select memes, but I see the potential of individually serialized tokens on a blockchain interfacing with individually serialized assets, I.e. vehicles, real estate, Pokémon graded cards etc. all of those are individually serialized RWA’s that will eventually have a 1:1 NFT proving digital and physical ownership. Want to sell a car, house, sports card? Just receive payment over a blockchain network and transfer the digital RWA (NFT) through defi or exchange, it doesn’t matter. No more 3rd party, DMV, govt land office, probate, estate disputes, NFT’s are now sales contracts for anything, irreversible, timestamped, and can contain additional digital information.

You can't compare NFT and crypto. May be memecoin, but is the trend totally over ? BTC, ETH, SOL, damn, even XRP, but there is way more, are still alive, no matter the downtrend. NFTs were a shortlived trend. Bear markets are frightful moments. It is temporary.

ABSOLUTELY ot could! BTC is the OG but its really NO different than an NFT! Its all backed by a "belief" that it will do something and be "worth" something!

Not the way of NFT, but the Dot.com. Blockchain tech will consolidate to a more useful usage case, working more in the background of other tech industries rather than in the front like currency. BTC will continue to be a widely agreed and traded digital assets, while the rest resolve to nothingness.
