Although NFT seems to be very hot and there are many people who eat melons, there are not many people who really participate. It is still only a small group of people, and most of them are limited to the encrypted world. Compared with other industries, it can be said to be a smaller circle in a small circle. However, the special feature of NFT is that although the radius of the circle is small, the connectivity of the external cross-circle layer is definitely the strongest.
This makes people inside and outside the circle puzzled? What exactly are NFTs good for? Why play NFT? Can’t understand, can’t play, is it not good to quietly mine in DEFI? ! People in the collection circle also have the same doubts. It seems that NFT can only be used for collection, entertainment and hype. Some people say that this is a new type of social network, but in any case, practicality and collection have never been 2-in-1. It can be played but not used, and can be used but not played.
Recently, a new category in the NFT field, vIRL® NFT, was released. This attempt can be regarded as a supportive, explainable, and understandable answer to the above questions, and it also adds a new opportunity to the extension of NFT. point.
vIRL® NFTs are bundled with carbon offsets, first issued on the WAX Blockchain. After the World Climate Conference, the world began to set carbon neutrality goals, requiring companies and individuals to take action, and the excess emissions must be compensated and offset. So everyone suddenly discovered in Tesla's financial report that Tesla's "carbon sales" revenue has contributed a lot to revenue in the past two years, and it is expected to exceed 2 billion yuan this year. The same is true for individuals, who drive too much and emit too much, so they have to buy the part saved by environmentalists/organizations to achieve the overall carbon neutral goal.
Different from other NFTs such as artworks, vIRL® NFTs are unlimited, 24-hour supply, continuous generation, and users can purchase them at any time. For every $1 face value of vIRL® NFTs purchased and destroyed by holders, the National Forest Foundation will plant a tree sapling, which can offset an average of one ton of carbon dioxide over the entire life cycle of the tree.
According to USDA statistics, a mature tree offsets 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, while a single person emits an average of 27 tons of carbon dioxide per year. If a person invests USD 2,000 per year in purchasing carbon offset vIRL® NFTs (that is, USD 167 per month), it is equivalent to planting 2,000 trees per year, which can basically achieve the person's carbon neutral goal in one year.
For the first time, vIRL® NFTs released 4 series of sowing, sprouting, growing, and saving vegetation. There are 5 sapling designs, 6 rarities and 30 styles. $5 denomination) to $199.99 (18 cards, 10 $1 denominations, 4 $5 denominations, 2 $10 denominations, 1 $50 denomination, 1 $100 denomination) The number of trees varies from 20 to 200. WAX co-founder William Quigley explained, "Collectors can use vIRL® NFTs to compensate for the carbon emissions generated during flying, driving, and can also substantially offset the average annual emission of 27 tons of carbon dioxide per person."
The practicality of vIRL® NFTs is carbon compensation, which carries the physical function of protecting the environment, and can also be used for collection transactions. Since Twitter CEO’s first push can be worth 2.9 million US dollars, perhaps Elon Musk or a celebrity’s first ton of carbon compensation NFT Enough weight to hype it up.
