You can now upload an image or a taken photo, which will be directly embedded into your NFT metadata. As the number of tokens and users grows — particularly users seeking to utilize tokens beyond DEXs and CEXs without technical expertise in registration — it's logical to move certain content on-chain. Wallets can retrieve this graphic directly from the blockchain and display it alongside the token value, as it is linked to the policy and the asset. This approach also enables DEXs and CEXs to visually present tokens without relying on external services. We believe the additional blockchain storage required for integrated graphics is justified, as token minting constitutes only a small portion of overall blockchain transactions.

You do not have to use English any longer, if you prefer to issue your NFT or FT in your local language. Just do it. Name, ticker and description will be stored on Cardano in your language. We believe that localized tokens will increase interest in tokens.

NFTs are back and the proof lies in the fact that today, I, a first time minter, was drawn into that space.

In the last couple of days I came accross the platform that is jpg.store and it was very interesting to explore and look through different collections. Some with nice art and utility, others with neither of them :D

I then noticed their drops page and saw the project called "Black Flag" (policy ID: b3dab69f7e6100849434fb1781e34bd12a916557f6231b8d2629b6f6) and since I never participated in a mint before, I joined their discord and was embraced by an open community with a lot of passion.

I instantly fell in love with the art style and level of detail as well as the simple and open communication of this project. So when the mint went live today, I minted my first NFTs and I`m more than happy.

Getting my crew together was really fun and for those of you who want to join there still is a live hunt for the first captain rank pirate to be minted. There also are rare 1/1s than have not been minted yet. I hope to see you in the tavern (discord) soon.

CNFT.io has been shutdown for awhile now. I had some NFTs listed on the site, but can no longer access the website to delist the NFTs.

I wasn't active in the crypto space for awhile and when I went to check the listings I realized the site had been long shutdown.

Is there anyway I can retrieve the NFTs from the smart contracts? I listed them from my NAMI wallet.

Any guidance would be super helpful! At this point I assume they're gone to the wind.

Is there a possibility of burning NFTs for some tokens or a small amount of ADA as a reward? Has anyone come across this? I have a lot of Cardano NFTs where the projects have been completely abandoned and want to make at least a little ADA for burning them.

Hey Cardano Community,

I hope you're all doing well! I've been working on an idea for an NFT-focused application and would love to get your thoughts and feedback. Here's what I have in mind:

Overview

The app will allow users to:

1. View Their NFTs: Easily view all your NFTs within the app.
2. Search Wallets: Look up any wallet and see the NFTs they own.
3. Engage with NFTs: Like and comment on NFTs. Comments and likes will stay with the NFT even when traded.
4. Custom Usernames and Profiles: Choose a username so you're not just identified by your wallet address. Customize your profile picture.
5. Follow and Feed: Follow interesting wallets and people. Get updates on their recent activities in your feed.
6. Unique Profile Customization: In the future, we'll be launching our own NFT. Owning this NFT will unlock unique ways to customize your profile.

Our Goal

Our primary focus is on people. We want to create a platform that highlights individual collectors and their unique tastes, moving away from just following projects. This way, we can build a more connected and personalized community.

Why I'm Posting

I'm looking to validate this idea and gather some initial feedback. Here are a few specific questions I have:

1. Interest: Does this concept sound interesting to you?
2. Features: Are there any features you think are missing or could be improved?
3. Pain Points: What are the biggest pain points you currently face with existing NFT platforms?
4. Future Enhancements: What future enhancements would you like to see in an app like this?
5. NFT Ownership: How do you feel about the idea of owning a specific NFT to unlock additional profile customization options?

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you might have. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond!

We’re still very early in terms of userbase, and if there is an use case that could more easily onboard millions of users is Crypto Gaming. 

A high-quality game that is able to compete with mainstream Web 2 games would be able to onboard millions of players into using web3 technology. However, the game needs to be really good and the blockchain part needs to be abstracted and working in the background while providing the user with a seamless experience. 

Blockchain technology such as NFTs can bring incredible value to gamers, by allowing them to trade and profit from all the work they have put towards the game. 

As such, this is a narrative with huge potential whenever we have an altcoin Bull Market, and we can see several projects getting significant traction and appreciation. 

In this video, I show you some of the highest potential gaming projects building on Cardano, that could actually attract millions of users: https://youtu.be/CkuFHIkG-TM?si=W9kRjFeP28HMISqa 

While it’s not an easy task, these projects have shown some deliverables, have great teams, and enticing gameplays.

Sorry if I am late to the party here, but what happened to Cardahub? It looks amazing but not functional right now it seems and the support team is offline for a year?

Hello, I just started collecting NFT's recently so I'm still pretty new to this. I'm using Vespr mobile wallet and I've been buying some NFT's on Kreate. I bought one the other day and it showed up in my collectibles just fine after purchase. Today, I was browsing Kreate to buy more and found something I liked. There was only 2 left, so I purchased them both, one for me and one to gift to a friend. When I went back to my Vespr wallet to check out my new NFT, I noticed it wasn't in the collectibles section but instead it showed up on the main page as a token. Does anyone know why this happened and how can I move it into the collectibles section?

Sorry if this is a noob question, I'm still learning about collecting NFT's.

It says I could claim up to 10 of the drops, but it seems that all 10 collectively would likely be worth under a dollar. Is this the norm?

What happened to bcrc? Is it still a good nft to own? Looking at how much it’s depreciated compared to the other cnfts. What do you think?
