Tiffany & Co – luxury brand enters the NFT market



Tiffany announced yesterday that she is releasing her first NFT. The luxury brand has set itself the goal of taking NFTs to a new level. Soon, all CryptoPunks holders will be able to have their CryptoPunk NFT turned into a custom pendant handcrafted by Tiffany & Co employees. In addition, buyers will receive an NFT version of the trailer.


What is an NFTiff?

NFTiffs represent a collection of 250 NFTs offered by Tiffany. When a buyer purchases an NFT, they can redeem it for a specially designed CryptoPunk pendant. The pendant is designed and crafted by the artisans of Tiffany & Co. The composition of materials looks like this:


GOLD:

The pendant will be 18k rose or yellow gold based on the color palette of the NFT. The rose and yellow gold perfectly complements the base color of each point type. The lighter base colors and the alien background will be made from 18R, and the two darker base colors will be made from 18Y.



STONES:

Each follower will have at least 30 stones. The stones may contain precious stones and/or diamonds. The carat weight per piece will vary depending on the attribute.

Most designs contain bead set diamonds and/or round cut gemstones. Select custom pendants feature fancy stone shapes. For example, Tiffany designers will use baguette stones to create the 3D glasses.

The CryptoPunk colors are represented as accurately as possible using the natural colors of various gems.



THE CHAIN:

The pendant also includes an 18k gold adjustable chain inspired by the shape of square pixels. The shackle (connecting device to the pendant) allows for fluid movement of the pendant and is accented with 5 pave diamonds.


A maximum of 250 NFTiffs will be sold in total, of which the maximum order quantity is limited to 3. The Tiffany NFT in conjunction with the pendant costs 30 Ether. At the current Ethereum price of $1650, this corresponds to around $50,000. The sales start is on August 5th.

Even before the NFT was released, the criticism on social media was immense. Above all, the asking price of $50,000 stands out here. So the Twitter user “Greg” tweeted if they didn't mean $30 instead of the required 30 Eth.

However, this is no longer a special case. Because the future of NFTs clearly points in one direction. NFTs are used as a marketing tool to sell real-world items, often at higher prices. The actual value of the NFT is lost and the NFT only serves as a marketing object. The luxury brand Tiffany are not the first to want to take advantage of the hype and apply this principle. It remains to be seen whether and for how long this principle will work. Calling up such prices, especially in a bear market, is not well received by the community.


In addition, the target group for the NFT must also be kept in mind. Because Tiffany is aimed exclusively at the luxury segment and therefore only speaks to a few people. It is therefore of the highest priority to create exclusivity and not to make the products available to everyone. Whether a price of 30 Ether justifies this concept is certainly debatable, but we will see it on August 5th at the latest. And if Tiffany does sell 250 NFTs at 30 ethers each, that's probably the fastest $12 million the company has made.

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...
