1.AI Agents
Chain-based entities that autonomously interact with social, DeFi, or any applications through identity standards (ERC-6551), enabling NFTs to own other NFTs and accumulate assets. Trends in the Web2 world indicate a surge in virtual life
Social products are handing content ownership back to creators rather than large platforms, allowing for more flexible monetization methods. The ultimate goal is to realize a new system of value flow across applications.
3.On-chain Games/Autonomous Worlds (AW)
The game state/logic of AW is entirely on-chain, allowing developers/users to leverage the openness and composability of crypto infrastructure. The open architecture enables anyone to build games, items, or characters on top of a shared world layer.
4.Financialization of NFTs
Since the epic rise of the NFT market in 2021, the fusion of NFTs with finance has been a focal point of attention. Many of the subsequently developed NFT financial applications have emerged in the form of loans backed by NFT collateral. New NFT utilities can drive this trend forward.
5.Collaborative Content Creation
NFTs offer a framework for content contributions, establishing a digital supply chain where individual creators can benefit from the success of large-scale works. NFTs allow creators to coordinate on a massive scale, whereas previously, creation was limited to small teams.
6.Digital-Physical Nexus
Bridging the physical and digital worlds within the crypto industry, allowing physical goods to expand into the digital realm. This offers creators new distribution methods and provides new ways to interact with owners.
