From Uniswap selling a pair of socks for $160,000, the founder of Twitter selling five words for $2.5 million, and the NFT work of encrypted artist Beeple sold for nearly $70 million, now, even Musk has begun to "bring goods" NFT.
Over the past few months, NFT has continued to break through boundaries and has become one of the most talked about topics out of the circle.
Maybe it is flying too fast, and many people can't help asking themselves, is it supported by its true value or is it already full of bubbles?
Odaily has also been following and observing the NFT track for a long time. We believe that at present, NFT has become a game that many projects are scrambling to introduce after liquid mining. More and more conventional DeFi projects enhance their playability through NFT, which may not be as good as liquid mining in comparison. It is just needed, but it is indeed almost to the point where projects "everyone has an NFT", which reflects the high acceptance of this gameplay by the entire market. Even so, more users do not directly hold NFT, which also shows from the side that the market has not yet reached a white-hot stage.
Secondly, still look at the fundamentals. The combination of many unique assets off the chain and the combination of well-known IP and NFT is a matter of course. Both Twitter NFT and music NFT have attracted attention as the first cases, but there is still a long way to go for real scale and popularization.
Therefore, the tokenization and financialization of NFT+ everything has just started, and the corresponding construction and the addition of new gameplay will continue to burst out. This industry is far from the era of full prosperity.
In the face of the general trend, perhaps it is the best choice to try it. So what should we do? There are many methods and tutorials. Today, we are focusing on opportunities in new areas.
NFT started from Ethereum, and brought unprecedented stress tests to the entire network during the first big explosion. Due to the limited performance of the underlying chain, the poor experience, including the early batch of chain games, also gave opportunities to latecomers.
In 2018, EOS and other old celebrity public chains were once known for their development of "spinach", but they were finally swept away by the tide of DeFi and gradually faded out.
In 2021, where are the new opportunities?
We have seen at least two: one is NFT and Flow, the exclusive public chain for chain games, which will bring us a fully customized bottom layer and interaction, but it is still in the initial stage of ecology, and the infrastructure has yet to be completed. We will Keep paying attention; the other is the new generation of public chains represented by Binance Smart Chain, which is very popular among developers recently. Because of its better compatibility, high efficiency and cheapness, and top-tier support like Binance, it has attracted When it comes to very competitive players, many well-known game studios and digital entertainment big IPs have announced their presence on the Binance Smart Chain. For example, Antler Interactive, the development team behind the recently popular My Neighbor Alice, holds world-renowned athletes and clubs. Animoca Brands and Chiliz, which publish copyrights, and fashion brand Realy, which cooperates with Star Wars, Adidas, Nike and other IPs, etc.
In order to help everyone better find opportunities in the new ecology of Binance Smart Chain, Odaily compiled the most complete NFT ecological map on Binance Smart Chain, covering from entry to creation, auction, trading platform, to chain games, music , trendy products, collections, a total of 37 items. After sorting out, it is found that the NFT on Binance Smart Chain is not simply copying Ethereum, but a series of systematic, relatively complete and very competitive NFT products; in addition, compared with other ecology, ordinary users and artists participate in The threshold is lower.

Bakery
（https://www.bakeryswap.org, token: BAKE)
Bakery is one of the first batch of projects to launch Binance Smart Chain, and has won the first phase of the "100 million USD Binance Smart Chain Ecological Acceleration Fund" and "10 million USD Liquidity Support from Binance".
Bakery's two main businesses are Swap and NFT Supermarket, and it also supports many ways of playing NFT+DeFi, such as pledging NFT to mine tokens, and pledging tokens to mine NFT.
NFT Supermarket is currently upgraded to version V2, which supports more functions, such as voting for your favorite NFT.
Currently, the platform mainly has three categories of NFT in the form of PNG/JPG/GIF in 9 series:
1. Digital artwork: including Binance Smart Chain Artist Series (allowing users to mint NFT by themselves), Seascape (described below), Binance NFT (Binance-themed NFT) and BTC-themed NFT.

As mentioned above, the Binance Smart Chain Artist Series is a section that allows users to mint NFTs by themselves. Therefore, if you are an artist, you can mint your original pictures/motion pictures into NFT and sell them.
It only takes three steps:
1. Fill in the introduction of the work, including the title of the work, the name of the artist, personal social homepage and introduction to the work.
2. Upload works. The format supports PNG/JPG/GIF, the recommended ratio is 3:4, and the size must be less than 10M.
Third, check the statement to indicate that the uploaded work is original, otherwise it can be deleted at any time once found.
Finally, connect to the wallet and pay 0.03BNB (about $7.5) to declare the production complete. The platform also warns against uploading sensitive/prohibited content.
Bakery NFT supermarket currently has 40,663 NFT works of art minted, with about 140,000 transactions and a transaction volume of 27 million US dollars. It is reported that BakerySwap will launch the music NFT section in the near future, and will invite music creators to cast and auction music and videos.
Dego
（https://dego.finance/home, Token: DEGO)
Dego is an NFT+DeFi platform that was launched at the same time as Rarible. The latter completed a cold start through liquidity mining, while Dego's gameplay is more "social".
So far, Dego has begun to shift from an application product to an application platform.
As it mentioned in its official website blog, the platform has two major functions. One is that creators/users can obtain a full set of NFT services here, including NFT issuance, auctions and transactions. The second major function is that Dego Finance is building a general-purpose NFT protocol and cross-chain as a second-tier infrastructure for developers/creators and users on Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum and Polkadot blockchains. Serve.
Let’s talk about its gameplay first. Unlike many NFT platforms that mine some beautiful NFT representations (such as cats in CryptoKitties), the representations on Dego are mining hammers of different levels, which look almost the same and are also It is not for watching, but for increasing mining efficiency. It is a "cold financial game".
80% of the tokens on the platform are used for mining rewards. During the pool opening period, users can deposit tokens accepted by the platform into the mining pool to earn rewards. Different grades of GEGO can increase mining efficiency.
The picture below shows the selling price of different grades of GEGO.
In addition to buying directly in the market, users can also pledge DEGO to mint GEGO. In addition to its own DeFi gameplay, Dego also has the functions of other NFT platforms, such as NFT transactions, auctions, and viewing the ranking of NFT transactions on the platform.
There are currently 12 tokens from other NFT platforms on DEGO, including PancakeSwap, Seascape, etc.
The platform also has a setting called the System Tax dividend system, which provides continuous incentives for currency holders, which is quite special.
Every time a user trades DEGO, the platform will charge 2% as a handling fee, of which 1% will be directly destroyed, and the remaining 1% will be transferred to the dividend pool (80% allocated to users; 20% allocated to the team).
In addition, when users bid for DEGO, the platform will get 10% of the price difference income, 80% of which will be used as the income of the auction system, and 95% of the total income of the auction system will be injected into the dividend pool.
If we say that before, DEGO was a product that was good at playing with the token economy. By the first quarter of this year, it had already started its journey to become the underlying platform.

First, in the stage of digital collectibles, the platform will issue various NFTs around world-renowned athletes, clubs, influencers and enthusiasts, including more common cards to ultra-rare cards.
Next is content development. At that time, the platform will launch LMT as the main functional token and game currency to realize the "combination of playing and earning". Players will be able to use their collectible cards to create and upgrade their Sports Hero characters, then form teams, play against other players and win matches, earning real-world rewards.
According to the official announcement, the new LMT tokens will be issued on March 19th. The only way to obtain LMT tokens is to exchange them with existing LYM tokens. The specific exchange rate will be announced soon. At that time, its holders will have the opportunity to obtain NFT in various equity pools.

Seascape
（https://www.seascape.network, token: CWS)
The Seascape team has been deeply involved in the blockchain game track for many years, and its core members are all from top traditional game development companies at home and abroad.

According to Seascape COO Nicky Li, the team will also release a variety of DeFi games in the short term, including Yield Farming mini-games, NFT lottery draws, mining and development games, etc., to help users "earn while playing" on Seascape in an easy and fun way . In the future, the platform will launch products at the rate of a new game every month. Some are developed by Seascape Studio itself, such as BLOCKLORDS 3D, and more are jointly developed and released by traditional game developers, including VR games, open world action games, and simulation management games.
NFTs in old games can also be "reused" in new games. As the only universal token in the platform, CWS will also form a stronger economic cycle.
The officially listed investors include 8 industry institutions including Binance.
Cocos-BCX
（https://www.cocosbcx.io, token: COCOS)
Cocos-BCX is a chain game veteran who has experienced a round of bulls and bears. Although it has caused controversy due to fluctuations such as tokens plummeting, deflation, and soaring, this does not prevent it from relying on industry accumulation, and it is very popular in this NFT and chain games. The era of revival.
Recently, people familiar with the matter said that Cocos-BCX may launch NFT concept games on Layer 2 and Binance Smart Chain.
According to public information, some Cocos-BCX team members were born in the Cocos engine, one of the world's three major game engines, which is also the origin of its token name. Previously, it has received investment from institutions including 500 Startups, NGC, and Binance Labs.
In the past two years, Cocos-BCX has initiated and maintained a non-homogeneous digital asset standard BCX-NHAS-1808 and a blacksmith shop (supporting NFT casting, decomposition, etc.), and has issued more than 1.2 million NFT tickets for events such as ChinaJoy Plus.

My Neighbor Alice
（https://www.myneighboralice.com, token: ALICE)
My Neighbor Alice has shown very good fundamentals before landing on the secondary market to "upgrade" everyone.
It has the background of an excellent game studio. Based on the team's experience in researching new technologies and publishing many successful games, My Neighbor Alice has the same exciting experience as many excellent games.

On the whole, My Neighbor Alice can compete with Dongsen in terms of game settings, style and sound effects.
On this basis, My Neighbor Alice has added asset tokenization methods, including issuing platform common token ALICE, issuing limited edition props NFT, and deriving DeFi lock-up, pledge mining and other methods.
Compared with ordinary games, it allows players to convert their creations into income, "and your creations can live forever under the success of others." I think this may be the most noble kind of "humanitarianism" for many game fans.
The game My Neighbor Alice has been launched on Steam with a deleted file trial version (similar to the concept of the test network in the blockchain, the game data will be cleared when it is officially launched), and it will be officially launched in the middle of this year, and the blockchain version will also be released.

Realy is a platform that focuses on the field of consumer life and is very close to us. Its slogan is "REALY Recognize Real", which is positioned as a global fashion item identification and trading platform.
The role of NFT in it is to record historical information, realize synchronous uploading of information from production to circulation, and realize more efficient transactions, just like you may buy cotton futures just to earn the price difference and not really want to get it In kind, the emergence of tokenization will keep the goods lying in the warehouse of the platform, but the NFT of goods has changed hands several times.
In terms of specific operation methods, Realy has cooperated with brands such as "Odaily Wars" SITH STORE capsule series, Adidas, Nike limited edition, CLOT and Jordan in the first phase.

Music：Rocki
Rocki
（https://rocki.app, Token: ROCKI)
From Dogecoin to Bitcoin to NFT, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has experienced all the interesting things in the currency circle.
However, this first NFT work that impresses Musk is not a digital painting or an IP collection that you often see, but an NFT of a song.
Indeed, music is a carrier that everyone needs and understands. If +NFT is played properly, it is entirely possible to replicate the explosive road of NBA TOP Shot.
There is such a music + NFT platform on Binance Smart Chain, Rocki. Let's see how it is done?
Rocki has previously issued two types of NFTs based on Ethereum, and recently announced that it will migrate to the Binance Smart Chain. The two NFTs and their functions are:
ERC721-like NFT: The anchor is the music ownership and music royalty income of the publisher (artist), which can be traded. For artists, the release of the NFT can directly bring a certain amount of early income, and fans can also become investors of the track. As the song is widely praised, the funds invested by investors will begin to pay off.
ERC1155 NFT: This kind of NFT can be understood as a batch transaction version of ERC721. This kind of NFT on Rocki is anchored to exclusive or limited release songs. Can be bought and listened to like a limited release record. Of course, this NFT can also be traded.

In addition to normal tokens, pNetwork also includes the transfer of NFT tokens. can provide support.
As of March this year, pNetwork has released 28 bridges connecting 7 different blockchain protocols, including the interoperability of mainstream chains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, EOS and Litecoin.
After the launch of pTokens' cross-chain solution, the team plans to upgrade the network, introduce verification nodes to achieve complete decentralization, and establish an open pNetwork permissionless network. The pNetwork DAO and governance token PNT will also be released at the same time.
Arkane Network

For Binance Smart Chain, by investing in and integrating Arkane, it is convenient to call Arkane's SDK and Dev tools to improve its own NFT market infrastructure.

After reading so much, let’s summarize the commonality of these NFT projects: Compared with the previous generation of Ethereum-style chain games, the playability has been greatly improved; after the +DeFi gameplay, the financial attributes are stronger; and generalized to trendy products, music and other fields, And with the addition of big IP, it will bring greater leverage and experience worth looking forward to.
As a cutting-edge NFT ecosystem, Binance Smart Chain is worth learning from when we do some things right.
It itself is a high-performance platform compatible with Ethereum, similar to Layer 2 of Ethereum. Compared with building a brand new chain, Binance Smart Chain has certain inherent advantages in positioning, and the platform completes the construction of multiple cross-chain bridges and the migration of assets in the shortest possible time, allowing Ethereum players to quickly Seamless migration, this is achieved by an ambitious public chain through acquired efforts. The third very important point is that Binance supports the project from users, funds and ecology, which is enough to attract many new projects later.
Seascape COO Nicky Li once personally stated that for the same game, the number of players exceeded 6,000, the number of transactions exceeded 15,000, and the total locked value (TVL) in the game exceeded 300 in less than a week after it was launched on the Binance Smart Chain. million U.S. dollars, and as many as 6,000 NFTs were minted. In contrast, it took about two weeks for the Ethereum version to reach the same lock-up size, and no more than 500 NFTs were minted in the game.
Binance Smart Chain has become an independent and powerful ecological climate, and it is calling for more creative developers to continue to fill in the puzzle of the empire.
Not only for developers in various fields, but also for artists of all types. In the post-epidemic era, people have become more and more online from spiritual life to real life, and the virtual cloud world like "Ready Player One" is no longer far away. Digital works, copyrights, and transactions are still in the forefront. We should, like cool guy Musk, pay attention to NFT, embrace changes, and make some changes in form to meet the new revolution of digital life and aesthetics in the post-epidemic era.
