Are NFTs here to stay?

What is an NFT?

NFTs, or "Non-Fungible Tokens", are digital assets that are stored on a blockchain. This provides a decentralized and secure way to track and manage ownership of digital assets. NFTs can be used for a variety of purposes, such as Proof of Ownership and authentication. Additionally, NFTs provide a unique identifier for digital assets that cannot be replicated, making them ideal for a variety of applications.

Types of NFTs

NFTs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The most common type of NFT is an ERC-721 token, which is used for applications such as digital art, video games, and more. Other types of NFTs include ERC-1155 tokens, which are often used for gaming items, and ERC-20 tokens, which are commonly used for utility purposes.

There are also different types of NFTs that you might see if you are scouring the internet, some include:

Music NFTs

Music NFTs are becoming wildly popular, with big names such as Kings of Leon, Grimes, and 3LAU all selling NFTs of their music. Music NFTs usually come in the form of an ERC-1155 token and can be used to represent ownership of a digital asset, such as a song or album. By allowing the artist to release clips, singles, and more directly to their fans, they are strengthening their following and can control their music more than they had been able to previously.

Art NFTs

Art NFTs are another type of NFT that is becoming increasingly popular. Artists are using NFTs to sell their artwork in a completely new way. Art NFTs usually come in the form of an ERC-721 token and can be used to represent ownership of a digital asset, such as a piece of art. Artists, such as Beeple, have sold their NFTs for millions of dollars, proving that there is a big market for art NFTs.

Real-World Assets

Real-world assets, such as property or land, can also be tokenized and represented as an NFT. This allows for a new way of ownership and verification. Real-world assets that are represented as NFTs usually come in the form of an ERC-20 token. So what does this look like? A growing use case that we are seeing is where farmers need to raise capital. They are turning to NFTs to fractionalize land ownership and give investors a way to own a piece of the farm. Funds are then being used to grow operations, purchase additional equipment, and more. This is just one example of how NFTs are changing the game when it comes to real-world assets.

Utility NFTs

Utility NFTs are a type of NFT that provides utility or function within a certain ecosystem. Utility NFTs are usually used for things like reward points, loyalty programs, or in-game items. Utility NFTs come in a variety of forms, but the most common type is an ERC-20 token. Creative Social is working with brands to not only leverage existing loyalty programs but to supercharge them by leveraging the blockchain. This gives brands a way to reach new customers, engage their existing customer base, and create loyalty like never before.

Tickets & Membership NFTs

Tickets and memberships can also be tokenized and represented as an NFT. This allows for a new way of ownership and verification. Tickets and memberships that are represented as NFTs usually come in the form of an ERC-20 token. We are seeing an uptick in venues adopting NFTs as a form of ticketing. Creative Social identified that as an opportunity and worked exclusively with The Tone Knows company to develop the Smart Pass. The Smart Pass is safer and more secure than ever while providing more utility to the pass holders.

Is Renting NFTs Next?

We are starting to see a trend in NFTs being used for short-term rentals. This is usually done through an ERC-721 token. The most common use case that we are seeing is digital art. A collector may purchase an NFT and then rent it out to a museum or gallery for some time. This allows the collector to generate revenue from their purchase and also allows the museum or gallery to display the art without having to purchase it outright. We think that this trend will continue and we will start to see more NFTs being used for short-term rentals.

Where do NFTs fit in the future?

NFTs are changing the game when it comes to digital assets and ownership. We think that we will continue to see NFTs being adopted by a variety of industries as a means of ownership and verification. Additionally, we think that NFTs will continue to be used for short-term rentals as we are already seeing a trend in that direction. So, where do NFTs fit in the future? We think they have a bright future and will continue to be adopted by a variety of industries.
