N FT проигрывает, чтобы обмануть

One of the most anticipated NFTs in the last few months, HAPE Beast, will finally drop on January 19th. Today we dive into the hype of HAPE Beast.

Is the greatest risk to the value of an NFT project for it to actually ship a product?

That might sound counter-intuitive, but there is arguably no other area of investment in which prices are so dependent on hype and anticipation. FOMO refers to the fear of missing out, and this emotion can be a powerful driver, running up crypto prices. In the world of NFTs, FOMO sometimes seems like the primary fuel, coursing rapidly from project to project, even in recently bearish circumstances.

Corollary to that, there is one thing that is certain to put an immediate end to an exaggerated sense of anticipation, and that is completion, or if the magical thing that was being waited for actually arrives. At this point, if it was the anticipation itself that was holding up prices, and that anticipation has suddenly been removed, then it’s easy to foresee what might happen to the prices.

With record-breaking sales of NFTs like Beeple’s Everydays – The First 5000 Days, a digital artwork that sold for $69 million USD at auction, non-fungible tokens have skyrocketed in not only popularity but also value. Taking the form of images, animations or renderings of sneakers and streetwear, NFTs offer new possibilities for establishing digital ownership, sharing creative expression and building online communities. In our latest episode of Behind the HYPE, we’re tracking the infiltration of NFTs into important areas of culture and their potential impact on the future of creative expression.

While the concept of NFTs has existed for nearly a decade, the technology found its way into mainstream media in 2020 and 2021 as more attention was shifted towards online life. In 2017, CryptoPunks, an NFT collection by Larva Labs, was launched for free before drastically increasing in value; CryptoPunk 3100 recently sold for $7.58 million USD, making it one of the most valuable NFTs to ever exist. Topping sales charts, Bored Ape Yacht Club is another buzzy collection that has recently landed a digital Rolling Stones cover. With members-only perks like exclusive chats and NFT drops, and access to live events and physical merch, the BAYC collection has attracted collectors like Future, DJ Khaled and other celebrities.

While NFTs offer a new way to connect with audiences in virtual environments, independent creators are drawn to their ability to add control over digital works. By ensuring that royalties are tied to an individual’s work, NFTs allow creators to find autonomy and success in online markets and communities. As more NFTs are traded and collected, the number of sites and marketplaces is growing — the NFL and NBA have their own trading platforms and Coinbase currently has a waitlist for its upcoming NFT platform. The future of the metaverse and web3.0 is still being charted, but similar to communities built around streetwear, art or collectibles, the NFT community will continue to grow as the medium evolves.

Despite a highly publicized report that sales of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are “flatlining,” the cryptocurrency tokens that carry art, videos and music, among other things, are doing quite well, a new report argued.

The report, “NFT Transaction Activity Stabilizing in 2022 After Explosive Growth in 2021,” is a preview of the firm’s forthcoming “State of Web3” report. Its findings fly in the face of an April report in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that said “flatlining” sales could be “the beginning of the end of NFTs.”

On the contrary, the number of weekly active collections — meaning one with any transaction in that time — on OpenSea, the top NFT marketplace, also continues to grow.

Show Me the Use Case

That all leads to a key question: So what?

It matters because there are a lot of potential uses for NFTs that make them an excellent medium for anything from songs to stocks.

Just last week, Goldman Sachs’ Head of Digital Assets Mathew McDermott told a Financial Times crypto conference that the investment giant was exploring using NFTs to hold and trade financial instruments.

“We are actually exploring NFTs in the context of financial instruments, and actually there the power is actually quite powerful,” McDermott said at the event, per CoinDesk.

That ranges for automating the entire life cycle of a bond transaction to issuing debt that could be fractionalized to attract smaller investors than can usually buy into such instruments — “democratization in action,” he called it.

That is, he said, “the first step” in his goal of creating a next-generation music industry that values both creators — who have a history of getting ripped off that predates records — and fans.

The number of people willing to spend $23 million for an 8-bit picture of a blue-skinned, bandana-wearing CryptoPunk collectable avatar might or might not be diminishing.

“Overall, collectors have sent over $37 billion to NFT marketplaces in 2022 as of May 1, putting them on pace to beat the total of $40 billion sent in 2021,” Chainalysis said.

And in the first quarter of this year, 950,000 unique wallet addresses — a reasonably good approximation for people — bought NFTs, up 627,000 in the previous quarter.

Other than in-game items to power massively multiplayer online games — most notably Axie Infinity, which is reportedly struggling — the big breakout use for NFTs has been as a marketing medium for the highly hyped but yet-to-come metaverse.

If the virtual reality worlds live up to their hype, NFTs could have a far bigger role in commerce — as community builders and even as receipts of something purchased in a metaverse but delivered in real life.

How Do NFT Projects Build Anticipation?

There are some up-to-now effective techniques that are used to build NFT hype and ramp up the FOMO levels around a project.

When a new collection is minted (meaning the new NFTs are launched and sold), it’s usual that the NFTs at first all display an identical placeholder image. At a set time after the sale is finished, a reveal then takes place, when the art (or whatever it is) becomes visible.

Initial collections can generate further, related collections, which owners of the original will be whitelisted for (meaning they have buying priority at the new launch), or, as mentioned, the new NFT might be airdropped for free.

It has become common for projects to make mention of metaverse integration, or plans to develop some kind of game or interactive experience, centered around the NFTs in the collection.

NFTs may provide access to private communities, usually through Discord servers. This works well if the community has a sense of exclusivity and prestige, is a network where valuable information can be tapped into or if it simply seems like a fun place to be.

NFTs may grant access to real-life events and physical merchandise.

Are These Techniques Legitimate?

All of these strategies can be viable, and some are reflective of what makes NFT technology valuable and innovative. Certainly, the idea of NFTs as keys that unlock membership of networks, communities, or web3 ventures is a powerful premise that fits with the shift towards conducting business digitally.

Furthermore, delivering quantifiable future benefits, including more NFT assets, tokens that are designed with utility, or physical merchandise, can be a reasonable approach, depending on what is being offered and why.

As for integrating with, or even developing, a metaverse or metaverse-like game, there may be a small number of projects that have this capability.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), developed by Yuga Labs, has become the big-money, showcase NFT collection, and it has used some of the patterns and techniques detailed above with tremendous success.

In fact, BAYC may have transcended prosaic investment circuits, as each NFT in its collection now appears to have acquired intrinsic provenance/authenticity value, by which it is desirable to own an ape simply because apes are desirable to own.

Where Do the Problems Lie?

In a saturated market, these hype cycles cannot be endlessly sustained and it is difficult to determine what makes an NFT valuable. There are certain patterns that, through playing out repeatedly and without purpose, start to ring hollow.

As for locking up an NFT (, but only in a broad, altered sense) in return for a newly created token, this is an incentive not to sell, but where is the end value, and what is the underlying substance from which the reward token draws its worth?

The same is true of further NFTs being offered. One NFT leads to another, and then where does that lead? And in this case, is supply not being diluted in a sector where scarcity is frequently cited as a critical factor?

Promises to deliver metaverse experiences and games should be regarded in many cases (but not all) as demonstrably unrealistic. The resources, patience and expertise required to make a functioning game, let alone a good or addictive one, are beyond the limits of a typical, relatively small-scale NFT project, and even in the rare cases where a gaming or metaverse project is a real possibility, will take a long time to build out.

Trading on Narratives

None of the techniques used or the trends playing out are, in themselves, negative or damaging. The reality, though, is that they can only work effectively, on a prolonged time scale, for a limited number of projects.

Ultimately, this may all be part of the maturation and streamlining process of a new vertical. For a while, any NFT project with working code and a good-enough landing page could generate interest and profits through hype and dangled carrots.

That situation could never continue indefinitely, though, and we’ll perhaps now witness a shift towards a more discerning market with more sustainable models. However, that said, the turbo-charged FOMO nature of NFTs is deeply ingrained, and there are still likely to be projects for whom current strategies bring growth and rewards.

Perhaps one reason these powerful hype cycles occur more intensely around NFTs is that a strong narrative has developed in which this kind of token (the non-fungible variety), is going to be core to how web3 operates, and so collectors are buying into future utility.

The basic premise is correct, that NFTs can be integral to the future of the web, but the amplification of this narrative has caused a situation in which almost every project begins trading off its proposed future importance. On a meme-pumped merry-go-round as chaotic as the NFT space, such stories and trends can escalate quickly to the point of absurdity.

NFTs beyond the gaming use case

NFTs already have practical uses in gaming, with projects like Axie Infinity and CryptoKitties at the forefront of this market, but this approach may in fact be absolutely applicable beyond games. These NFTs have infinite potential as a keystone for wider adoption due to the sheer real-world value and practicality they bring to the table. There is more to NFTs than on-chain bragging rights.

New tech advancements do not necessarily have to enthrall the public; mainstream adoption often relates more to convenience and accessibility. Digitizing simple, commonplace routines could highlight the practicality of NFTs and promote a wider shift in the public sentiment on the technology.

A rewards program can be a simple way to make NFTs practical. Similar to an RPG character growing stronger with each adventure, an NFT can become stronger with each trip to the supermarket with an eventual reward. By integrating them into daily life, instead of being an image on a screen, they become alive, accessible and practical.

Developers should not take this wave of interest for granted. Public attention is fickle, and such a large magnifying glass can expose vulnerabilities confirming biases and assumptions around tech innovations. Encouraging the shift toward practical, malleable digital assets can bridge the gap to create sustainable adoption, rather than having to constantly convince an average consumer to inscribe value to something static.

Where & How to Buy?

Unlike most NFTs we’ve discussed in the past on NFT Corner, HAPE Beast has NOT minted yet.

You’ll be able to enter the “gas wars” on January 19th and try to mint your Beast for .2 ETH.

With any NFT mint, and especially a popular mint like this one, stay vigilant to hackers, corrupt links, and impersonators. A best practice for any Discord channel is to turn off all DMs, to avoid hack attempts.

What is HAPE Beast NFT?

For nearly three months now, the hype surrounding HAPE Beast NFT has reached a fever pitch and it’s almost time to mint the popular 3D Apes. As mentioned in previous NFT articles, 3D meta-ready NFTs are the craze in early 2022. You could argue that HAPE was one of the first back in October, they’ve pushed their release to this month in Q1 2022.

London-based studio Digimental are the creators behind these Beasts. They have designed and styled the collection to be locked and loaded with new art and a fashion playground within their Multiverse.

Covered

Talking about NFTs in gaming feels like walking on eggshells — every step can set off an avalanche of backlash from mainstream gamers. Developers risk getting caught up in the hype and novelty of integrating NFTs without considering their utility within a game’s universe. Selling NFT collectibles in a game where they are ultimately devoid of meaning will inevitably draw backlash from audiences viewing these collectibles as greed-fueled cash grabs.

So developers and companies making native NFT or play-to-earn projects end up getting caught somewhere in the middle, choosing to either tread lightly in a wider gaming market or stick to their niche audience.

For NFTs to penetrate the mainstream gaming arena, developers must pivot and build NFTs that have utility and meaning in the larger ecosystem of the game. From an RPG character growing stronger with every adventure, to a weapon gaining new features with use, non-static NFT assets grant players renewable novelty and value. Importantly, this value is clear and tangible within the game itself and is obvious even for a person with no grasp of what NFTs actually are.
