There’s never a dull day in crypto or week for that matter. It was no different this as more NFT projects have been dug out from the past. Solana went down and is yet to fully recover and there’s positive news in the OpenSea alternative department as NFTX announced a decentralized NFT marketplace on Sep 15. Let’s see them!
NumberBoard Is The Lastest Find Of The NFT Archaelogy
Famous NFT archaelogist Adam McBride reintroduced the world to an another long lost NFT project - NumberBoard. It was launched on Nov 16, 2017, determined by the contract deployment date - which places it a week before CryptoKitties. NumberBoard allows you to claim numbers, starting from 0 and without limit. The rarity part is earlier numbers and ones with meme value like 69 or 420 or 666.
Twitter Eggs - Blast From The Past!
Before the Ethereum blockchain was launched, there were NFT projects present on the Counterparty chain. But, other NFT collections are being dug out from strange places. Twitter itself, for one. According to the legend, Twitter introduced eggs earlier in 2010 to be used as a replacement for empty profile pictures.
In Mar 2014, they were ported over to the Namecoin blockchain, giving these Twitter Eggs a newfound significance in historical NFTs. Accoriding to Nish Sequeira - cofounder of Three M Capital, there are 255 NFT eggs and 6 misprints. You can checl the information below, but it does seem like a big deal and something which can turn into EtherRock. How rare are they? You can’t buy them except for OTC discord deals and might have to wait, until they are ported to OpenSea on Emblem Vaults.
Solana Downtime - Blockchain Went Down for Almost A Day
Solana encountered it’s first major snag as the smart contracts blockchain went down after enountering “excessive load and memory consumption” on Sep 14. According to the reports, bots spamming caused the issue resulting in nodes going offline and blockchain facing downtime of nearly a day.
The proposeed solution was implemented successfully and required validators to restart the network. As of now, the situation is gradually coming back to normal and the block production has resumed. Solana prides itself on high TPS and fast processing - the blockchain has high validator requirements and questions have bene raised regarding it’s decentralization.
NFTX Launches Decentralized NFT Marketplace
OpenSea is currently the most popular NFT marketplace, but it’s not without it’s problems. The user interest for a decentralized alternative is rising and the latest launch from the NFTX team might result in a strong contender for that alternative. NFTX has redesigned it’s interface from scratch and it now looks more like a marketplace, than it’s earlier design emphasizing liquidity provision and index fund.
The best part? You can trade multiple NFTs in the same transaction. The team is planning to offer multi chain support with EVM compatibility. It will also be improved in the search-ability area and single side staking will be offered. A launch platform is also planned, which will give users ability to launch their own NFT collections.
