Gh0stly Gh0sts: The First 0mnichain NFT

The first-ever transaction on Layer Zero was just two weeks ago, and the Stargate protocol already supports $3B+ in TVL. Layer Zero unlocks massive potential for innovation and transforms the user experience in crypto as we know it.

Currently, there is no way to truly have an NFT on any chain other than the NFT source chain. Bridging your NFT using Wormhole, for example, does not yield the real NFT on your destination chain. Instead, it locks the real NFT in a Wormhole contract, and gives you a synthetic replica NFT on the destination chain.

Gh0stly Gh0sts is the first truly omnichain NFT. Let’s look at what this means through an example. Let’s assume there’s an NFT collector by the name of Ligma. Ligma decides to mint his NFT on Avalanche, perhaps to save some gas fees. He later decides he wants to use his Gh0st as his PFP on Twitter (which currently only supports Ethereum Mainnet verification), so he uses the Layer Zero-enabled `traverseChain` function on Avalanche, with the destination chain set to Ethereum. The result of this traversal is the official Ethereum Gh0stly Gh0sts NFT. Ligma’s NFT can now be verified by Mainnet as an asset of the Gh0stly Gh0sts Ethereum contract.

Gh0stly Gh0sts is a proud cc0 NFT collection, aiming to pave the path of community-owned, chain-agnostic assets. Like many other NFTs, Gh0stly Gh0sts derive a portion of their value from the fact that they can be integrated in future games/applications. The unique benefit to Gh0stly Gh0sts, however, is that the potential for future integration is no longer bounded by the realm of a particular blockchain.

Omnichain NFTs are the future — this will become more and more clear over time. We believe that what Layer Zero has built has opened the floodgates for a whole host of new possibilities for the NFT space. With Gh0stly Gh0sts, we are excited to show a tiny sliver of what’s possible in an omnichain world.
