LG Electronics brings NFTs to the living rooms of the world

 


South Korean electronics giant LG is launching its own NFT marketplace “LG Art Labs”. The platform is aimed at US users who can now present and trade their digital art via the TV device. The world's largest TV manufacturer, Samsung, also claims a piece of the pie.


The sixth largest electronics manufacturer LG sells the most TV sets worldwide after Samsung. Nearly 1.7 billion people own a television – Samsung and LG claim 33% of the market. Internet-enabled devices now allow users to trade and present NFTs through the TV.


What users can expect...

LG Electronics’ in-house crypto wallet is called “ Wallypto ” and handles NFT transfers via QR codes . This allows end users to both trade and admire their artworks directly from the screen. With the simplest possible handling, LG offers its users uncomplicated access to new technologies.


Advocates and followers of the crypto scene are looking forward to a bright future full of NFT applications:

According to Chris Jo, LG Art Lab was designed “to allow millions of users across the US to easily access and view NFTs without having to code themselves or interact directly with a blockchain.”


According to crypto-Twitter, the LG wallet also opens up for trading beyond blockchains other than Hedera.

This inspires users...

The Hedera network convinced the world-renowned electronics manufacturer above all with low costs per transaction of less than 0.0001 dollar cents and very low energy consumption .


“The Hedera network uses significantly less power than any other public ledger, making it an ideal choice. Users can buy, sell and view NFTs without worrying about high energy consumption,” said Chris Jo, senior vice president and head of platform business at LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company .


How did Hedera convince LG?

LG attaches great importance to providing users with an affordable and environmentally friendly NFT platform. Because these two topics have been stirring up the crypto world for some time.


But the possible network effects and the project density of the Hedera Hashgraph Blockchain are also remarkable: The “ Hedera Global Governing Council ” includes major players such as Google, IBM, Deutsche Telekom, Boeing and Chainlink Labs. In this “most used, sustainable public ledger for companies in the decentralized economy” LG joined in 2020.


NFTs are conquering the living rooms of the world

As the largest electronics manufacturer in the world , Samsung is a technological pioneer. On January 03, 2022, Samsung announced an “NFT platform”.


"This application provides an intuitive, integrated platform for discovering, buying and trading digital artworks," announces the Samsung Newsroom.


It's only a matter of time before the competition catches up. With Samsung and LG, the two champions among TV manufacturers are venturing into the NFT space .


It becomes clear: The NFT market draws the attention of the technology sector! The biggest players are taking on the issue because the billion dollar market can no longer be overlooked. Despite falling prices, a crypto crash and mixed forecasts for the NFT sector, market leaders are investing in blockchain-based technologies.

The world's largest soccer association, FIFA, is offering a platform for NFT collectibles for the soccer World Cup with FIFA+ Collect .


“This exciting announcement makes FIFA collectibles available to every football fan and democratizes the ability to own a piece of the FIFA World Cup. Just like sports memorabilia and stickers, this is an accessible opportunity for fans around the world to engage with their favorite players, moments and more on new platforms,” said FIFA Chief Business Officer Romy Gai.


According to a FIFA report, FIFA+ Collect will be available on all web and mobile devices from launch . TV devices are not named. But there may be an important use case for LG and Samsung hidden here.

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...
