A Breakthrough: NFT Digital Identity Avatars

All, Creativity, NFTs,

Published on: March 08, 2022

The NFT Avatar is now in to the Mask extension. It is supported by high-end and small business branding companies. The NFT avatar is another breakthrough in the NFT realm for Mask Network. Due to the non-fungible property, the NFT avatar is never like any image, but something with a more precise and deep meaning in the digital identification. It has raised much attention within the information and technology industry.

The market for NFT avatars has expanded fast. Some NFTs, particularly those in the CryptoPunks collection, have traded for millions of dollars. This trend has created a great deal of inquisitiveness in the NFT scene and crypto realm, and many people have begun their collections as a result.

NFT avatar development has the potential to soar, fuelled by private collector money and institutional investment. Visa, for example, has paid $150,000 for the Cryptopunk NFT "Digital avatar With Mohawk." Many additional NFT avatar projects have also gotten positive feedback. For example, the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs were sold out in a single day, whereas the Penguin NFT Club acquired a Pudgy Penguin for $469,000.

NFTs

Before moving towards the role of NFT identification in today's digital world, let us clear out the concept of NFTs, shall we? NTF stands for Non-fungible Token. These are a cryptographic standard that enables easy asset verification and authentication. You can easily accomplish this with digital products.

The popularity of NFTs has skyrocketed. NFTs are here to remain because they represent the meeting point of two revolutionary changes reshaping the world. These two changes are namely Metaverse and Web3.

As technology advances, we are fast approaching the metaverse. Web3 is the internet's next age, built on the ideals of openness, permissionless, and trustlessness.

Okay! So, the much-needed introduction of NFTs is given. Now, let us begin the actual talk.

NFT Unlocks A Way for Digital Identities

1) Unique Identity

The blockchain ledger helps to validate an NFT's unique identification and ownership.  Few agreements only provide a license for personal, non-commercial uses, while other permits enable commercial use of the digital asset. Ownership of the NFT is links with a license to use the digital asset but does not transfer copyright to the buyer.

For instance, imagine that you are using your Instagram account and suddenly, someone comes to you and claims that the account you are using is theirs. You will be worried. Or maybe, frustrated? Well, this is exactly what NFT digital identification prevents.

2) Coronavirus Era

Who is not yet affected by the changes brought by the Corona Virus? Of course, we all have been affected by the Corona Virus, in one way or another. Not only did it bring changes in our society, but it also changed ourselves and our way of thinking.

Social media platforms play an essential role in the modernized and technological world, don't they? Looks are all that matter online. Each forum portrays a different version of ourselves. Not only has Covid-19 made us rely more and more on digital platforms, but it also has made us package our whole personality into something entirely extraordinary- may it be a Zoom meeting, networking, or simply a picture.

For this reason, even Zoom has introduced new filters that users can easily use. In addition, other online social media platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat also have tons of different filters that either that the way you look or change your surroundings and turn the scenario into something wholly new and different. Anyways, don't we all love those filters? If not in reality, then we can be the best versions of ourselves in our small digital worlds, right? This is why people are spending thousands of dollars on various apps, hoping to portray a particular identity of themselves to the rest of the world.

3) NFT AVATAR

The NFT market overloads with digital reproductions of almost everything. The sheer volume of NFTs generated has become a giant magnet for those hoping to make it wealthy, some legally and some illegally.

NFT Avatar will be a completely different and new beginning point for the user's journey through the metaverse.

Have you ever come across an account having an NFT as an avatar instead of a regular picture? If yes, then here is a detailed explanation of why you saw that.

Several different groups, such as Twitter, are already using Non-fungible Tokens as their avatars. We discovered several individuals that have altered their Twitter profile image to an NFT that they possess.

Several different tech companies are constantly working on enhancing the NFT Avatar feature. In the coming future, it will have the ability to recognize all Non-fungible Token owners. This will permit the users to change their avatars straight from their Non-fungible Tokens Collection. This will bring to the world a fresh and new way of social representation.

4) DIGITAL ART

Because of blockchain technology's capacity to ensure the unique signature and ownership of NFTs, digital art was an early use case for NFTs.

In 2021, artist Mike Winkelmann, better known as Beeple, sold a digital artwork named "Everydays - The First 5000 Days" for US$69.3 million. This purchase was the third-highest auction price ever paid.

Artist Krista Kim's 3D-rendered model of a house popularly known as "Mars House" was purchased on the NFT market for more than US$500,000.

TICKETS: Have you ever heard of NFT ticketing? If not, then now you will. NFT Ticketing is poised to alter the way event ticketing operates permanently.  NFT Tickets are new digital assets that were issued by several different event organizers, artists, and even sports clubs. As they are non-fungible, they can be readily retransferred or resold linked by the prevailing blockchain technology.

5) GAMES

Non-fungible Tokens are nowadays representing different game assets. Don't we secretly get jealous when another player jumps in with his all dolled-up character? Yes, we all do.  Skins are one of the most prominent forms of expression, especially in a video game. Other items such as weapons, armor, and many types of vehicles are also valuable.

Forte is working on creating a digital platform for game developers, where the developers can include blockchain in their games easily. This feature will allow players to tokenize the assets they own efficiently. The players can also readily participate in a two-sided marketplace.

6) MEMES

We all love the humourous memes we see online, don't we? But, have you ever heard about people selling their memes? No? Well, this blog is certainly going to add a lot to your information today. Several meme creators are selling their creations for miliions of dollars. A number of online memes are linking to NFTs. However, their creators make them and sell them.

7) FASHION

Have you ever come across an Instagram account or any other social media platform on which the user has only posted their OOTD (outfit of the day)? If yes, then you will understand the following statement correctly.

The pictures people post about their clothes and fashion are also their digital identity. One of the advantages of doing this is the creativity people get to experience within themselves.

8) SPORTS

Aren't Non-fungible Tokens and the sports industry are the perfect pair?

A well-known blockchain company, Dapper Labs, is working with one of the largest basketball leagues, the NBA, to achieve the famous application, NBA Top Shot. This is a sports-related application.

Athletes are also availing the advantageous NFT sports forum to submit their collectible items that are related to Non-fungible Tokens. Spencer Dinwiddie, an NBA player, tokenized his contract in 2019 so that others could invest in it.

9) MUSIC

Have you ever thought that the music you hear can be related to NFTs? Well, during the COVID-19 epidemic, artists used NFTs to increase money. Musicians may now tokenize and publish their work as non-fungible tokens thanks to blockchain and the technology that powers the network. This has broadened the range of possibilities available to musicians and artists alike for monetizing and profiting from their music as well as other content related to the music and the artist's public image.
