Some Research on the Topic.

Sundays are lazy. Sundays are made for chilling. But I am having a writing challenge for the next 2 months so you could have had a better knowledge of what is it like to be a crypto maniac and a gentle soul like me.

I will just try to convince myself that it is already an early morning in Hong Kong and focus on researching non-fungible tokens field.

Let’s start with a quick video on this matter:

Devin Finzer, the CEO of the OpenSea, the biggest marketplace for ERC-721 tokens gives the best definition on what are non-fungible tokens in his NFT Bible:

“Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique, digital items with blockchain-managed ownership. Examples include collectibles, game items, digital art, event tickets, domain names, and even ownership records for physical assets”.

The full list of NFT currently traded can be accessed here. Another market screening tool that divides NFTs by categories and provides the overall market overview can be viewed here (they have pretty nice project success performance charts).

For my particular interests I would like to highlight several projects, that I had been keeping an eye for the last 2 years (not including overhyped CryptoKitties & CryptoPunks):

You can trade ERC-721 tokens at 0xProtocol decentralized peer to peer exchange. Here is an intro explainer of how it works:

If you decide to develop a project in this field, better take a look at OpenZeppelin, as it helps to minimize risk by using battle-tested libraries of smart contracts for Ethereum and other blockchains. It includes the most used implementations of ERC standards.

Now I want to distract on having some fun with composing own unique emoji.
I am back in 2 minutes as not willing to pay 0,074025 ETH for a poop with vomiting mouth, so I am using my fav pirating method — printscreening :)

It is worth of admitting, that in the ERC-721 standard ownership is determined by a list of token identification numbers that is hold on your address. A concise declaration of an example ERC-721 contract is broken down to pieces here.

Downloading Status App to check what is it like to have a wallet, messenger and a browser for web.3.0 in one. It is in no way a promotion, but rather an interesting game on whom I will chat with there afterwards…

I can not also omit mentioning:

  1. Trust Wallet
  2. ImToken Wallet
  3. Coinbase Wallet

That let you keep and transfer your non-fungible tokens, that had been hyping during these years no matter what kind of state of affairs we have been into.

If you are in the process of development of the Dapp with a marketplace I would have definitely recommended to get into the list of approved ones at these wallets and let their users discover your NFTs in the list.

As far as I plan auctioneering and maybe you had the same plans, I am sharing this platform for hosting your activities in this direction.

My deadline is pushing me to click Publish and say bye-bye till tomorrow.
