- NFT & Collectibles
CryptoKitties are one of the earliest NFT collectible project, it create most accessible and image-driven ways to experience blockchain technology, then appear CryptoPunks and other image-oriented project which turn into an NFT concept, the picture for proof (PFP).
For the first time, digital art can be scarce. Creates provable scarcity of art or any digital assets are feasible by using blockchain, transparency and verifiability intrinsic from blockchain solves industry problems. Also, the diversify applications and scenarios begin to become possible.
CryptoKitties led a new era to artists and creators, all the traditional value can be transformed easily to a trustable object that foster people to design their works in new method with better solutions.
2. merge.
“Merge mass. The more mass you have, the more you can merge.” — merge, an NFT conceptual drop created by Pak, well-known digital creators. Pak’s merge had bought the artwork market to new heights, sold more than 250,000 “mass units” on the NFT platform — Nifty Gateway for a collective $91.8 million.
Why merge? The speciality is that Pak utilized unique features of blockchain and tokenomics to create a massive conceptual art piece. By combining Scarcity, Yield and Burn mechanism, the buyer would have a different, limited NFT compare to others, and all depending on how many mass units you bought. “The more you get, the more surprise would happened”, that is, merge truly innovate an amazing NFT project can be, also indicates the potential of NFT for multiple usages and distinctive business model.
- NFT & DeFi
1. Aavegotchi
The first function build up with NFT is DeFi, the decentralized finance, and the innovator one is Aavegotchi. Aavegotchi is an experimental startup funded by DeFi protocol Aave. (Aave is an open source and decentralized finance protocol, you can trade Aave with bots on BOXTradEx)
Aavegotchi leads NFT integration with multiple applications, DeFi system involved at first place. Such as staking and yield farming, after that, gaming, DAO governance and virtual space are also deployed within the ecosystem. User can buy and upgrade their Aavegotchis for earning $GHST token. However, the Aavegotchis are dynamic NFTs which the metadata changes over time, and the metadata could influences the outcome you would have, so that’s an interesting gaming mechanism comes in.
2. Uniswap V3
Uniswap V3 is the most powerful DEX, decentralized exchange, protocol by introducing liquidity NFTs to provide solution to capital inefficiency. In early DEX mechanism — Automated Market Maker (AMM), the capital provided by liquidity provider will evenly distribute to all price level, which follow by the x * y = k price curve. This means that most of the liquidity is wasted instead of rewarding for liquidity.
In case of Uniswap V3, liquidity provider have option to anchor the price range they want to allocate their assets to and earn from fees when the price is within the selected price range. In addition to achieve that, all positions are represented as NFTs as opposed to the fungible tokens on previous version. The unique liquidity NFT will display the pool and parameters owner selected.
- NFT & Identity

2. Ethereum Name Service (ENS)
As you know, blockchain and cryptocurrency is highly technical with many technical terms and rules need to be aware of, especially for first-time users. That’s why ENS shows up, BOXTradEx as well.
ENS is a decentralized naming service for Ethereum applications, such as wallets, websites, or other use cases. For example, user who want to send crypto to friends, he need to find out the right format of address, also copy and paste it in correct way. More than that, if user have different addresses for different blockchains, then it cause confusing and difficulty to manage.
In a nutshell, ENS is a name and lookup service built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows crypto users to translate their machine-readable addresses to human-readable addresses. Think of it as a nickname generator for public Ethereum addresses, aiming to make crypto more accessible. Like turning “0xDC2EWQR344342338A2ADA83795” to “BOXTradEx.eth”.
- NFT & Game
One of the popular NFT applications is GameFi, so called game finance. We already introduce the NFT project like CryptoKitties and Aavegotchi, but the champion of this area is — Axie Infinity.

To conclude, “The decentralized Gala Games ecosystem aspires to blow the doors wide open and give players back the control they deserve.” — from Gala Games’ website.
- NFT & DAO
1. PleasrDAO
We already learn that NFT is not divisible, can be verified and turn ownership back to the user, although, somebody still trying to breakthrough the constraint of indivisibility — PleasrDAO.
PleasrDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) whose main objective is the collective purchase of NFTs that require a large investment, which means people can invest part of blue chip NFTs and share the ownership or rights by joining PleasrDAO.
This is a new experiment by trying to fractionalized NFTs into smaller amount, it truly open a new channel for people to participate, and others follow the spirit to create DAO for NFTs, like HeadDAO. Still, the legal grey area is a concern of those kinds. One of PleasrDAO most iconic purchases happened at April 2021, when 40 people organized through PleasrDAO to buy an NFT from Edward Snowden for $ 5.5 million.
After PleasrDAO, we all know by employing DAO governance structure can expand the boundaries of NFT scene. No matter to fractionalized NFTs or exerting into crowdfunding. ConstitutionDAO is a legendary DAO project that raised money through decentralized way, a group of people just try to buy one of the original copies of the United States Constitution.
Even though they fail to fulfill the purpose due to lost bid at Sotheby’s auction, eventually, the experimental in a single-purpose DAO and the successful raised $47 million in one week making ConstitutionDAO gaining traction of society.
NFT & Space
1. Opensea
NFT is an unconventional token that can serve multiple functions, but back to the core, NFT need a place, a space to store, transact and display. So, the marketplace for NFTs is needed accompanied by thriving industry. Opensea, the NFT marketplace that allow user purchase, sale, mint or start auction of NFTs. The specialities of Opensea are the user-friendly interface, diversity of NFTs and the comprehensive searching engine.

Therefore, Opensea is fielding new investment offers that could increase its valuation roughly six times to $10 billion.
2. Decentraland
“Create, explore and trade in the first-ever virtual world owned by its users” — Decentraland. If we just holding an NFT then it just like a file or data obsolete in the corner with nothing else, nevertheless, we can release NFT’s power by deploying it on a right protocol or place. That’s why Metaverse concept stands out, a shared immersive digital world could foster different type of application merge with NFTs.
Decentraland is one of the leading Metaverse project, a decentralized, virtual reality (VR) platform where users can both create and monetize their content and applications. All the digital materials in Decentraland is tokenized by NFT, like land, avatar and others, user can enjoy this virtual world for creating NFTs, buying digital goods and services with MANA token.
