When looking at the potential of NFTs, the smart contract function has the potential to improve and replace countless types of transactions:

So, what else can NFTs do?:

Metaverse & the virtual economy

NFTs can be used in the metaverse to buy virtual land, such as LAND — a digital piece of real estate in The Sandbox. And depending on market demand, people can rent their NFTs to earn passive income.

Through games like Aavegotchi, the play-to-earn (P2E) model rewards users with assets like NFTs and in-game cryptocurrencies that can be swapped, sold or borrowed.

Creator economy

Digital creators can now sell their work directly as NFTs & fans can buy their work and support them directly — NFTs are a viable and effective way for creators to fund their work.

Platforms such as Open Sea have democratised access to creators beyond the biggest celebrities.

Being a full-time creator is going to become a viable career for many people in the near future — & they will be part of the “creator economy”.

Global economy

NFTs are giving millions a chance to finally compete fairly in an ever-evolving global economy. With a computer, internet connection and some creativity, individuals can finally get paid fairly for their work.
