As we at IQ Protocol see it, Web3 will play a major role in the future of every major industry. From finance and trade, to entertainment and gaming, blockchain technology is already establishing itself as a catalyst for change. With this change will come the rise of importance — in terms of utility and value — of NFTs. The number of use cases for NFTs is massive! Before long NFTs will be your passport to everything in Web3.

One industry that has yet to enter the blockchain world is the food and beverage industry. This, however, is already changing!

Today, IQ Protocol is excited to welcome OneRare into our ecosystem!

OneRare

OneRare is the first blockchain platform centered on the global food and beverage industry. All about celebrating food and international cuisine, their mission is to ‘foodify’ the blockchain to help the food industry make the necessary leap into the world of Web3.

OneRare offers an extensive range of options for users. Chief among them is their NFT platform and gamified foodverse. As for their NFTs, users can claim collectible NFTs of dishes from every cornder of the world. And when it comes to games, their Gaming Zone consists of four play areas: the Farm, Farmer’s Market, Kitchen & Playground. Players can stake $ORARE to farm for Ingredient NFTs at the Farm, trade them at the Farmer’s Market, cook up Dish NFTs as per Recipes in the Kitchen, and get a sneak peek of Foodtruck Wars at the Playground.

In fact, they have just launched the beta testnet of their Gaming Zone! Be sure to check it out, as they are currently offering some nice incentives to early users!

But NFT collecting and gaming aren’t the limit of what OneRare offers.

In bringing the food industry to Web3, they are also collaborating with celebrity chefs, famous restaurants and brands. These collaborations take a variety of forms. For instance, chefs and companies will be able to create NFTs that have real world value, being swappable for meals (or other deals) at restaurants or used as entry to special events. Another example is that OneRare will work with brands to raise awareness and take action to alleviate world hunger.

IQ Protocol + OneRare

IQ Protocol is excited to support OneRare, providing NFT rental capabilities that will be applied across their extensive platform.

A specialty of IQ Protocol is our focus on creating a collateral-less and risk-free model for lending and renting digital assets, such as NFTs. In fact, IQ Protocol offers a host of innovative features that will transform digital-asset marketplaces!

How will this work with OneRare?

OneRare and their users can utilize NFT renting for a number of reasons. But let’s just take two examples. First, NFTs add value to their games and to their collaborations with chefs, restaurants, and brands. With IQ Protocol, gamers will be able to rent out their assets to one another, allowing more gamers to access the range of in-game assets OneRare has on offer. Second, NFT renting will also be important when it comes to real-world use cases. Say, you have an NFT that provides you access to an event (or works as a voucher for a free meal at a famous restaurant). Unfortunately, you can’t attend! Happily, you don’t need to worry that your NFT’s value is being wasted, since you will be able to rent it out to others who can enjoy the benefits of the NFT.

With IQ Protocol these rental and borrowing exchanges are risk-free! How does this work?

IQ Protocol’s model for NFT lending and borrowing is built to be risk-free. Typical modes of lending an asset puts the lender at risk, say, if the borrower loses hold of the asset (for whatever reason). With IQ Protocol, such risks are not a concern. Instead of giving the original asset to the borrower, IQ Protocol mints an expirable version of the NFT (which contains all of the unique features of the original). This NFT is then given to the borrower. Our platform guarantees that the original NFT is always safe and can be returned to the owner after the agreed-upon rental contract has expired. Now, players can rest easy renting out the items that they aren’t currently using, providing a source of passive income without having to sell their favorite assets.

We look forward to working with OneRare!
