New NFT platform should secure Ethereums first place



With the successful NBA top shot series, the flow blockchain is currently dominating the NFT sector. With Palm, ConsenSys throws an Ethereum-compatible competing product onto the market that could redistribute the cards.

You can argue about sense or nonsense, but the fact is: The flow blockchain from Dapper Labs has blossomed into the top of the NFT transshipment centers thanks to the success of the NBA top shot collectibles. Over 470 million US dollars have now flowed into the digital trading cards . The CryptoPunks series based on Ethereum followed a long way off. In the battle for pole position, the blockchain company ConsenSys is now throwing a competing product on the market that is intended to secure the supremacy of Ethereum blockchain in the new boom sector.

Palm, the Ethereum answer to Flow


On March 30 ConsenSys gave art service HENI Group and the film production company Heyday Films set up a joint "innovation laboratory" known . The Palm NFT Studio will in future be an interface through which artists, marketplaces and rights holders can work together and integrate corresponding projects and platforms in the Palm ecosystem. Dan Heyman, previously General Manager of Protocols at ConsenSys, will chair the Palm NFT Studio as CEO.

In addition, there are already a number of other partnerships that are intended to embed Palm in the crypto ecosystem. The decentralized exchange Uniswap will “use a version of the Uniswap v3 protocol to support the trade in works of art within the Palm ecosystem”. Palm is also to be connected to the NFT marketplaces Nifty's and Eulerbeats. For this, the palm sidechain is connected to the Ethereum wallet MetaMask.

The innovation laboratory could thus develop as the nucleus of new NFT projects. The alliance with established companies from the entertainment and art industries should also open the still unmanageable NFT market to the mainstream. As a pilot project, Damien Hirst will bring his series “The Currency Project”, consisting of 10,000 individual banknotes, on which the artist has worked for five years, to the platform as an NFT series.

It remains to be seen whether this can build on the success of the Beeple series . But the new project didn't catch a small fish with Hirst. Hirst's pictures and sculptures (see article picture) are among the most valuable in contemporary art. In 2007 his work “Lullaby Spring” achieved the record sum of 14.5 million euros at Sotheby's. The price was the highest ever paid for a work by a living artist. In any case, he puts big pieces in Palm, which is "by far the best platform". As the richest artist ever with a private fortune of one billion US dollars, he probably doesn't need the sale.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

El Salvador: Bitcoin bonds are a long time coming

  El Salvador's finance minister believes Bitcoin's continued price volatility means Bitcoin bonds aren't coming anytime soon. Meanwhile, the country faces a human rights crisis. El Salvador Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya said the country will further delay the launch of its expected billion-USD bitcoin bond, citing price volatility and uncertain market conditions resulting from the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. The news comes at a time when Amnesty International is accusing the Salvadoran authorities of flagrant human rights abuses and criminalizing those living in poverty. In an interview on local news show Frente a Frente, Zelaya was asked if the situation had changed with the planned bitcoin bond. “No, not yet, the [Bitcoin] price continues to be disrupted by the war in Ukraine,” He added that fluctuations are constant in the short term, but always appreciate in value over the long term. “There is a future and an economic innovation [in bitcoin] that we must bet on.” ...
