The 5 biggest NFT trends of 2021



 The non-fungible tokens (NFT) celebrated their big breakthrough in 2021. According to research by Cointelegraph, the volume of NFTs traded last year was over $ 18 billion. What were the biggest NFT trends of the past 12 months?


1. NFT collaborations with celebrities

The rise of the NFTs and the fact that a lot of money can be made with digital works of art has not escaped many celebrities. They have the opportunity to top up their accounts with their own NFT collections . Celebrities who published their own NFT collections or entered into partnerships with major platforms through NFT Drops included actress Mila Kunis, rapper Snoop Dogg, NBA star Kevin Durant and cult director Quentin Tarantino.


2. Play-to-earn NFT Games

Another big trend in 2021 was the play-to-earn principle (P2E). Participating players can also earn and trade NFTs within P2E Games . The best known example of such a P2E NFT game is Axie Infinity. There the players can acquire digital creatures, the so-called Axies, breed them and fight with them. Each Axie is a unique NFT, which is based on the Ethereum blockchain. In the past 30 days, Axies have been traded valued at around 125,000 ETH.


3. Metaverse NFTs

The metaverse was also one of the biggest topics on the crypto market in 2021. In particular, the renaming of the Facebook parent company to Meta triggered an insane hype about the decentralized metaverses. NFTs play an essential role in the metaverse to guarantee the uniqueness of the virtual assets in these virtual worlds. Big brands like Adidas and Nike have announced plans to design NFT collections in their name in the Metaversum.


4. Non-profit and philanthropic causes

More and more donation organizations are accepting donations in the form of cryptocurrencies. The Giving Block platform raised 100 million in donations in 2021. This has also entered into a partnership with NFT platforms. So go numerous sales proceeds from the sale of NFTs in the donation account of Giving block. Virtual auctions have also brought in large amounts in other ways this year. For example, in one case a school was built in Uganda and in another case health care workers received financial support.


5. NFT revolution in the art world


With traditional works of art, artists still have to travel around the world to participate in major auctions. With virtual NFT artworks, auctions are accessible to far more people . With that, NFTs revolutionized the art world in 2021. In the meantime, the virtual works of art bring in amounts of several million dollars. If you want to get into NFT art, stop by Opensea !

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
