Representing what is perhaps the most cutting-edge new investment phenomenon of this past year, non-fungible tokens are the new crypto craze, just a short five years after most of us started learning about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the various ‘alt coins’. Of course, with new technological developments arise a host of novel legal issues, stretching the limits of traditional intellectual property law. Hence, this brief survey of the still-nascent NFT relative to existing IP.

Introducing the OG Gallery 2.0
One year ago, I published my first article outlining Creatd’s NFT strategy. At that time, it was clear that our investors and other stakeholders were keen on understanding how our creator-first company would capture value in the new digital frontiers of blockchain, crypto, and their derivative technologies (i.e. NFTs, metaverse lands). We spent the intervening months exploring opportunities within the blockchain space, including experimenting with numerous NFT art drops, pursuing the potential integration of cryptocurrency into the Vocal platform, and using smart contracts for other e-commerce platform opportunities currently in the works.

How to Mint, Collect and Trade NFTs
In times of geopolitical crisis and uncertainty, I will shed some light on how to trade NFTs using the example of OpenSea which is the one of the largest platform for NFT minting, trading, as well as analytics tracking for the largest NFT projects on Ethereum network. OpenSea won the hearts of the artists and collectors due to lazy, ‘gas-less’ minting without additional fees (after you initialize your account for sales for the first time).

Decentralized Stablecoin and the Quiet Reinvention of Digital Money
For years, the promise of cryptocurrency has been financial freedom—borderless, permissionless, and independent of centralized institutions. Yet volatility has remained the biggest barrier to real-world adoption. It is difficult to treat an asset as money when its value fluctuates dramatically within hours. This is where the decentralized stablecoin enters the conversation, not as a loud disruptor, but as a quiet reinvention of how digital money can function.

Tokens: The Backbone of the Digital Economy
Introduction In the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, tokens have become a fundamental component of the digital economy. They represent a new way to transfer, store, and manage value in a decentralized and transparent manner. While many people associate tokens with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, their use goes far beyond simple digital currencies.

How Cross-Chain NFT Marketplace Development Solves Scalability and High Gas Fee Issues
Single-chain NFT marketplaces, where users buy and sell NFTs on a single blockchain, may deal with problems such as network congestion, high transaction fees, and limited scalability. This is because single-chain NFT marketplaces are limited by the number of transactions that the blockchain can process. Cross-chain NFT marketplaces allow transactions and interactions between multiple blockchains, which can address limitations such as scalability, cost, and liquidity. Possible solutions to the challenges of existing NFT marketplaces include cross-chain technology such as cross-chain atomic swaps. Cross-chain NFT marketplace solutions ease NFT platform scalability across NFT markets, enabling creators and collectors around the world to access its services.
