NFT trends that could change the world in 2022

Описание: 01. NFT avatar casting
The advantage of NFTs over traditional IP creation is that you can own a piece of a wider brand, and make money off it. NFTs such as Bored Ape Yacht Club and StereoheadZ enable users to mint their own art for the group, bringing a new sense of creativity to a community of artists, animators and musicians.

02. Community owned branding
Giving IP control to a community to "take and spin into new directions that the parent brand would never have done in the past adds value", says Kay. Using a blockchain and NFT offers primary and secondary resell rights, ensuring an artist is always paid for future use of their work. Loosening control of an IP enables growth and creativity, and artists get paid for their input and work at every stage.

03. Ethereum 2.0 will solve its energy problem
The bored elephant in the room for NFTs is the huge carbon footprint generated to create one. A single transaction on the Ethereum blockchain uses as much power as the conventional household over a day and a half. Ethereum is "burning energy, like driving a car with your foot floored on the gas with the brakes on," says Kay. "It doesn't have to be that way. And it's changing. Ethereum 2.0 is going to be slowly rolling out next year and it's going to make a massive difference."
