How can blockchains be used in NFT development
One of the most widely used aspects of blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is the display and trade ownership of real and digital objects and trade ownership, according to Cointelegraph. Metadata in NFTs tends to be the difference from digital images, as they have unique properties and identifiers that represent ownership, rarity, and other attributes related to physical art and property.
As stated by Cointelegraph, the process of creating NFTs that requires uploading metadata in the form of a cryptographic token over an active blockchain is known as minting. Without the support of blockchains, NFTs lose the properties of being immutable, verifiable and unique identifiers. Use cases related to NFTs help establish and validate the legitimacy of ownership of assets across sectors such as artwork, intellectual property, real estate, among others. NFT marketplaces are publicly accessible marketplaces that allow users to create, buy, and sell NFTs. With the use of NFT blockchains, third-party marketplaces also help to cater to a wide range of audiences.
Based on information from Cointelegraph, with the NFT ecosystem taking off in 2017, Ethereum introduced ERC-1155 as an official smart contract standard to support large-scale NFT adoption. As a result, for each NFT transferred, the NFT would require the creation of a smart contract to respond with each NFT. The Solana ecosystem has been promising compared to Ethereum as Solana is supported by high throughput and low fees. Formerly known as Matic, the Polygon network acts as a secondary layer (L2) present in the Ethereum network.
Data from Cointelegraph showed that the Cardano blockchain aims to solve the problems of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other platforms. Minting NFTs through Cardano using third-party services or self-issuance provides user control over minted tokens. NFTs on the BNB smart chain are built on the basis of compatibility with the use of other blockchains. Furthermore, behavior among NFT developers has shown that they prefer to use BNB to build an NFT marketplace.
Furthermore, Cointelegraph has provided tips for users to keep in mind before choosing a blockchain for NFTs which include being future-proof, ensuring fast transactions, providing cheap gas and transaction costs, ensuring a thriving secondary NFT marketplace, offering intellectual property (IP) management , ensuring legitimate partnerships and cross-platform compatibility.
