Blockchain Games: How does they work?

 Blockchain-based games are games that use the real ownership of items used in the technology at the core of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin or Ethereum. What is their basis?  These blockchain games are formed by programs created for players to be introduced to the cryptocurrency market by obtaining unique NTFs as digital assets to carry out game goals. These objects can be: Weapons Mask Experience points Cards Abilities What are their benefits? These objects have a tangible cost that players can exchange with others. Such NFTs gain cost thanks to blockchain transactions and the transfer of items that are done through capable contracts that automatically send NFTs to players. One of the benefits of blockchain gaming is that there is no likelihood of these transactions being undone or ignored. Therefore, NFTs represent unique resources that have the potential to be transformed into assets for which quite a few people would be willing to offer incredible sums of money. Another advantage is that most games are based on obtaining and exchanging goods. Problems One of the problems encountered is scalability, as blockchain-based games are limited by the relative slowness and price of transactions, which is ultimately a problem since the video game industry is all about being easy, immediate, and dynamic. We are currently mindful that blockchain gaming meets largely in building assets for prized transactions. Blockchain games have already found an audience of enthusiastic competitors, but their future is dependent on finding a way to achieve a huge reach. However, the way to produce money in each NFT game is different, so you must try it out yourself. Some of the best-known titles that have existed: Crypto Kitties Axie Infinity Evolution Land So rare Conclusion While blockchain-based gaming projects are currently not as popular as they once were, they are still a space that is being explored a lot and new options are still coming out for gamers to get more and more into this world of digital assets. Still, thanks to the metaverse and the adoption of this space, it is likely that we will continue to see the birth of many blockchain gaming projects in this new era.

Crypto Marketing and digital art

Digital art known as NFT has made a big change to the world and the collecting industry, the things that we used to like to have in a tangible way such as collectible cards of a series or program, postage stamps, retro items, or even the art itself. What brings this new type of collecting is that now this type of art only exists in digital form. Why are the values so high? This is because the way these tokens are made, with the same blockchain technology that crypto assets work with, makes them “unique and valuable”, giving this digital art the same scarcity and uniqueness that normal art can have. For example, I can see a drawing that I like on the internet, download it and I can say that I own it, but in this world that is not the case, since this token works as a certificate that proves that I own the original work. A fact that caused quite a stir with all this digital art was the sale of the work “Everyday- the first 5000 days” by people which was bought for 69 million dollars. Now that we know why the value of NFTs we can say that it is something that is just knowing its early stages, the first NFT was created in 2017 so it has plenty of room for growth and there is plenty of opportunity for brands to invest in NFTs as a form of marketing, as the NBA digital card game “Top shot” that promotes players and teams as each card has a different value or the 3d interior designer Andres Reisinger who sells his physical furniture along with an NFT of them. In the end, the advantage is that owning one of these digital collectibles is the information that makes it different from any other. We will leave below the differences that this type of crypto asset has with cryptocurrencies: They are not fungible since each NFT has a different value. They are not divisible, an NFT is an NFT and cannot be sold by fractions. They are not mineable. It can be bought and sold as a cryptocurrency as it is a digital asset but only digital content is created or tokenized, it is not mined. Finally, NFTs despite the bear market we are going through are still a good investment that we are still in time to get into, of course as we always like to say, first we have to do our research before putting our money into something.

How to make and sell an NFT?

Opensea is the largest marketplace for digital goods such as collectibles, video game objects, digital art, and other types of assets that remain stored in the Ethereum blockchain. That is why below we will talk about some steps we must do to be able to publish and sell our NFTs through this marketplace. Create a wallet, First of all, having a wallet is a prerequisite to moving around Opensea and virtually any other decentralized marketplace.  Metamask is a pretty good alternative to have your tokens and NFTs because it is the most used one. How to sell in Opensea? If you want to try to join this wave, here’s how to sell on Opensea in 5 steps: Step 1: Make your gallery beautiful To produce a collection, click on Create – My Collections at the top right and the “Create” button. Enter a name for the collection, and a specification and upload a 350 x 350 image that works as a logo. Once we click on “Create”, a pop-up will appear mentioning that our collection was developed, so we click on “Add items”. Step 2: Have a file that you want to make NFT. It can be audio, a tweet, a song, a video, a photo, a painting, or a digital drawing. Just keep in mind that it has to be something you own, and with that, you click on “Add items” in our collection, we log in with our wallet again and start generating our first NFT. Apart from this, we see 3 more possibilities to add: Properties, Levels, and Stats. These are very useful if you create a collection and want to differentiate the properties they have from each other. Let’s imagine that we have a collection of characters for a video game and some have more levels than others or do more damage, that’s what the Stats are for: this section is often used if you are going to generate numerous variants of this NFT and you want the client to taste the total portion that is there. Here are some things to consider for your NFT: You must upload your file. Make sure it is no larger than 40 MB. You must fill out a certain form: o Title o Description o External link o Properties o Levels (for example, if it is a set or if there are several pieces) o Statistics o Unlockable content (can be files, links, or other information that can only be seen by buyers) o Specify if it is sensitive content Step 3: once you have everything ready, launch the first offer, which determines how many copies of the NFT can be made. It also allows you to freeze the metadata. In the end, click on create, and that’s it, you have your first token. Follow the rules that your wallet tells you. If you do not have ETH in the wallet at the time of listing, read Step 4. Step 4: (optional): Buy Ethereum (ETH) You can search the internet for any dealer to get ETH to market. If you are using Metamask, you can click on Buy and with a card and a small commission, you can trade ETH. Step 5: Once you create your token, you will get an option to sell it, you can choose if you are going to sell the work at a fixed price, to the highest bidder, or together with other works. You will also be able to choose in which cryptocurrency you want to get paid. Now, think about that absolutely every transaction you make on the blockchain generates an expense, and this depends a lot on the size of your file and the data you have filled in this section. Now you have to take into account certain expenses that are going to occur and why it was important to fund the wallet. o The commission for OpenSea o The wallet platform fee for the blockchain of the cryptocurrency to be used (Only at the beginning, for your next sales it will not be necessary). o Commission people who refer potential customers to your art. We hope this information can help all those artists who are looking to start selling their artwork through this medium.

What does it mean to buy an NFT?

NFTs have been known as a public registry of authenticity and ownership for digital assets, which is realized through blockchain technology. A token is the digital representation of a financial asset, i.e. an asset that can be traded on the market. This token is registered on the blockchain and thereby becomes a type of contract that gives ownership to the person who owns or exchanges this token. So NFTs are digital assets protected by cryptography and exist only in a digital registry. Now, we can better understand what an NFT is: a contract that guarantees the ownership and authenticity of a digital asset within a network of public registries. NFTs because of their exclusivity have a value that has involved multi-million dollar sales and has been a way to generate thousands of dollars. These assets have promised a revolution in virtual transactions. Finally, with this concept, we can say that buying an NFT means that we are buying an asset that is a digital asset and that is unique, so we will not find another one like it anywhere. After buying it, where does it go? The best way to store an NFT is through a wallet, one of the most popular ones known is metamask. This wallet connects to platforms such as OpenSea and there we can visualize our NFT. So, in summary, we can enter the project website or we can go to OpenSea, and there we buy the NFT, it is registered in a blockchain and there it stays, what changes are the people who own it? Then we buy it and it is stored in our wallet of preference or that is compatible with the blockchain network in which the NFT is located, finally, to see it we connect our wallet to a platform such as OpenSea and we can visualize it. We hope this information can help you feel more confident about what happens when we buy an NFT and the profits we can get through them.

What NFTs are used for

NFTs are digital assets that gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic years becoming worth thousands and thousands of dollars. Currently, the market has stabilized more and we no longer see both madness as before, even part of this is due to the fall that cryptocurrencies had almost nothing. These assets can be found in OpenSea which is the main platform where people usually keep their assets. But what are their uses? The uses of NFTs vary quite a lot and they do not only work as digital art, which is what is usually believed, here are some of them Music: We have heard of several bands and musical groups that are exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs. Certifications and licenses: Every day the way is being paved so that we can have our NFT IDs, digitally carrying them and with real validity. Sports: Currently some teams have decided to try selling tickets as NFT, such is the case of the PSG team that has sold tickets for their tour in Japan. Properties and real estate: With the advent of the metaverse and digital properties such as land or smaller assets, eliminating intermediaries in the purchase and sale of real estate. What is the purpose of NFTs? Unlike cryptocurrencies or bitcoin, NFTs are unique tokens, of which there is only one and there will never be another one like it for anything in the world. They are transferable but we can not split them into decimals, for example, if I have 1 bitcoin, I can sell 0.005 part of it and keep the rest, but the NFT is not like that if I have an NFT of something and I want to sell it I can only sell the whole unit and not just a part of it. So in a very simple way, NFTs serves as a certificate that validates that a person owns something which guarantees its authenticity and uniqueness. Why do people buy them? The main reason why people buy NFTs is because of their value, as this always tends to go up, this is because they are unique so if a person wants it they have no choice but to buy it at the price you set. Another reason why people buy them is somehow for a sense of belonging since the most popular NFT collections have communities, so having an NFT makes you part of it. This feature became very popular with the Bored Ape Yacht Club, which was an exclusive club where only people who had their NFT could have access to exclusive content. This stuck and there are now many collections that offer exclusive products and even shares within the collection. How can I earn money with NFTs? The easiest way to earn money is through speculation, you find a collection that you like, you see what they offer you to own the NFT and buy it, what you have left is to wait until the public sale is over and there is a sold out, from this moment is when the offers begin and nothing more is to wait for you to get one that interests you. This sale can be done directly through a wallet transfer or platforms such as OpenSea. Another way to earn money is by the benefits that the collection gives you, for example, there are some that for each collection they sell they give you a part you just for owning one of their NFT, or there are other collections that for having their daily NFT they deposit you the project’s currency which always has a value. In the end, the main way to earn money is by buying an NFT and selling it later at a higher price, although you always have to be careful because this is not necessarily going to happen. In The Blue manakin, we always recommend that you make a good analysis before investing money and as always that this is one that you can afford to lose without affecting you.

What are non fungible tokens (NFTs)?

NFTs are an asset that cannot be imitated, in the digital world that is compared to selling any other type of asset or property, but in an intangible form (soft technologies). These tokens can be seen as certificates of ownership of virtual or physical assets. How do they work? With NFTs, different digital files can be tokenized to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. As with cryptocurrencies, a record of who owns what is stored on the shared ledger such as the blockchain. The records cannot be falsified because this “ledger” is securely maintained by thousands of computers around the world NFTs can also contain Smart contracts that could provide the artist with, for example, a share of a future sale of the token. In many cases, artists retain the copyright to sell copies of those works and thus continue to sell. But for a buyer of an NFT who holds the token, it proves that he is the original owner of the work. Some people compare it to buying a copy signed by the author. In theory, anyone can tokenize their work to sell it as an NFT, but interest has grown following reports of multimillion-dollar sales. In this way, everyone can give “value” to NFTs simply because they believe it is valuable, which is why there are multimillion-dollar sales. In addition, they have the following characteristics: Strangely unique Non-interoperable Indivisible Indestructible Absolute property Verifiable Understanding the basics of NFTs is one of the first things we must do to learn more and more about them.

Valuation of NFT’s

As we taste, in the crypto world there are two types of tokens: fungible and non-fungible. Fungibles are those that function as money, a peso is always a peso invariably from the conditions of the coin. A peso coin can be replaced by any other peso coin. On the other hand, non-fungible tokens are unique and cannot be replaced by any other token. NFT’s can be used to represent unique digital assets, and are interesting because their uniqueness and ownership can be verified, they can be used in different applications, and they can also be easily exchanged in various markets. Depending on the asset the NFT represents, its value comprises four different components: utility, ownership history, future value, and liquidity. These components can be used by investors to assess whether the NFT is worth investing in, and by creators of NFTs to attract users and investors. The key is that NFTs create many new ways for value creation for creators and asset owners. Below, we break down the four components and discuss what gives value to each: UTILITY: Utility value depends on how the NFT can be used. Two major categories that have high utility value are gaming assets and tickets. For example, a rare and valuable Crypto Space Commander warship sold for $45,250 in 2019, and the value of an NFT ticket is the price of that same ticket. Another dimension of this same utility is being able to use this NFT in an application other than the one in which it was purchased. If you could use that same warship in another game, the value would go up exponentially. OWNERSHIP HISTORY: The value, in this case, depends on the identity of the seller and the previous owners of the NFT. NFT’S with the highest ownership history value is usually created by famous artists or companies with a large presence. Based on this, we can realize that there are two ways to give more value to our NFT: the first is to cooperate with influential companies or individuals to promote these tokens, and the second is to sell NFT’S that have been previously owned by equally influential people. FUTURE VALUE: The future value of an NFT is derived from speculative valuation changes and future cash flow. Valuation is driven by speculation and can often be the key to high value. One could argue that speculation is bad for NFT’S, but it is human nature and a fundamental part of the current financial system. LIQUIDITY: Higher liquidity means higher NFT value. Liquidity is the main reason why tokens created on-chain have a higher value than those not.

Where to find NFT influencers to hire?

Every NFT collection needs a diffusion by all possible means, so we must find the ideal people for this. This diffusion can be carried out by people or pages specialized in the NFT world, which know and more importantly the communities that can make our collection a success. The disadvantages come in that sometimes it can be complicated to communicate with them or to find someone that serves us according to their community and the interactions they achieve in their publications. Below we will discuss some of the ways to hire influencers that are useful for our NFT collections: Look at their networks: One of the best ways is to review all the social networks they have available, so we can review all the content they upload, from the type of post they make to how many people react to them. Normally in their networks, they will have some mail for promotions or the platform will have some kind of method to contact them. They have a Manager: Many times NFTs influencers have a manager that helps them review all the possible collaborations that they will do. So we can reach them through him, we will explain in the best and most appealing way to their manager and if he is interested he will pass it on to his client or someone else he thinks would be better for the project. That he is interested in our project: In the end, the NFT influencers are just as many collectors, so having a flashy project, well organized and with a solid mission is very possible that even the influencer will be well into our project and give it a constant promotion. NFT platforms: On the internet and discord, we can find many NFT ranking platforms, these can even serve us as influencers since many people who are looking for new collections often come to these places to find collections. Normally discord usually has packages that include a shootout for everyone to see your project. Through a marketing company: In most cases, influencers are usually affiliated with a marketing agency. So if you want a sure way to find the ideal influencers for your project and they are already included in your budget, this is one of the best ways to get them. In The Blue Manakin, we have at our disposal a list of influencers who are specialized in the world of NFT collections and who are even collectors themselves, plus we support you to manage your networks and attract people to your project.

England will allow sending legal documents via NFT

The High Court of England and Wales has granted Fabrizio D’Aloia, founder of the Italian online gambling company Microgame, to file a claim through his lawyers Giambrone & Partners LPP to anonymous persons through an NFT drop to their wallets. This move will allow Mr. D’Aloia to serve legal documents to these unknown users through their wallets. This news is quite significant for the crypto world, as it leaves a precedent in which it will be possible to have one more defense against scams and hacks that are often done through wallet addresses. “This is very important because it shows the court’s willingness to adapt to new technologies and embrace blockchain and, in fact, step in to help consumers where previous legislation and regulators simply could not,” Joanna Bailey, an attorney at Giambrone & Partners LPP who worked on the case, told CoinDesk. D’Aloia said he was duped by an online broker into depositing around USDT2.1 million and USDC230,000 in wallets that turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to the England court D’Aloia is allowed to sue the responsible persons by sending the court documents through an NFT to the wallets. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future with this lawsuit, because if it comes out well we may see new regulations in the crypto and NFT world. In The Blue Manakin, we want to remind you that although the crypto world is the future of finance, we can still encounter many scams with which we can lose our money, so it is important that before sending money do your best to verify the veracity and that with the slightest doubt you have a stop to think a little bit. Also, remember that we should never invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

How to Promote NFT?

Doing an NFT is not just about coming up with a good idea that no one has seen and that’s it, but there is a whole process for our project to reach many more people, we have to give it that push. As we have mentioned in other posts in this blog, it is best to have a team specialized not only in how things move in this world but also know how to move through popular networks. A crypto marketing agency will help us to reach every corner of the internet to make our project sound. Sometimes tactics change, what worked for one collection may not work for the next but now we will share in a generic way what you can do in the different social networks and main platforms to promote your NFT. The networks and platforms for NFT promotion are: Discord: It is where your community lives, so before talking about advertising, it is important to comment that your server has to look flashy and organized so that when people get to it they can check easily and find all the information without further complication. The best way to advertise on discord is through collaborations with other collections, preferably that these are of a similar style to our collection but the truth is that you can collaborate with anyone, this way you can reach thousands of people. The link to your discord must be present in all publications of the other social networks. Twitter: In the main network for your publications, in this one, the important thing is to generate content that goes according to the turn of our collection, with fun and interesting tweets talking about our project. NFT promoters are used on Twitter, it is important to verify that their engagement is good and not very different from the number of followers they have, usually with them you can handle giveaways, Rt, QT, and different dynamics of follow-up. Twitter ads also work to attract more people, but it is better to first share them through promoters. Instagram: It is the network to make our project more personal, here we will share the best arts to draw attention to our collection, and here we will share the same in our stories if the information of the project so we can also take advantage to do live chatting about the project, share some event we are going to. Here it is best to contact promoters to upload stories and publications, here on Instagram it is normal to find pages of NFT magazines, which can help give visibility to the collection, making a publication of it and uploading to their stories. Ranking and scheduling platforms: In discord and on the internet we can find different platforms that are dedicated to serving as a collection release calendar. These are usually the pages that expert collectors visit to find collections about to be minted so finding a good page and making the investment to be seen on the main page of your website doesn’t hurt. Gleam: Gleam serves us quite well to make a massive giveaway, this we can take advantage of it to make different entries to earn more points and have more chances to win, these entries can be from following us in all our social networks, to make rt and give like in publications, but certainly, a feature of the most important would be to get them to share in their networks the competition, in this way we can get much more traffic in our social networks. These are the general strategies to follow in the different networks and platforms, but as always we recommend doing it by the hand of a marketing agency because as mentioned above does not always work the same for all networks and at least here in The Blue Manakin we can adapt to what your project needs and give it the visibility it deserves, so quote us.

How to Find NFT Influencers

We can say in a simple and summarized way that an influencer is a person who stands out in some media, by which he/she expresses opinions on some topic, which is transmitted and generates a great influence through his/her audience Cryptocurrency influencers are now a diverse group. Some earn money by promoting products, while others have no financial motive other than they are interested in the topic and want to promote the cause of cryptocurrencies. Given the breadth of their objectives we can talk about some types of crypto influencers: People involved in the development of cryptocurrencies or services involving the crypto world. · Influencers who invest in one or more innovative projects in the crypto world.

And we’ll leave you with some of the advantages they can give us: Information International news ·Scenario analysis, Price forecasts.

Many times we can find verified accounts with millions of followers but their publications barely reach 5 likes. So it is always the first thing we have to visualize in the accounts of these influencers. One of the best tactics is to make collaborations with them, use Rt, Qt and giveaways. Discord: In discord is where the community moves, here the influencers are not so present since it is not only one person, in discord, it is better to move through the servers with many people that are active. In them, you can talk to moderators to give better visibility to your project through collaborations and activities within their server. Instagram: On Instagram, we can find specific users that can help us to promote our project through stories or publications. But one of the advantages that we can find in this more visual network is the cryptocurrency and NFT news account Telegram: Telegram is somewhat similar to Discord since we are not looking for a single person but a group dedicated to the dissemination of crypto projects, which can help us with the pinned message and more organic and direct dissemination through the users present in the group.

What is an NFT whitelist?

More and more new NFT projects keep appearing in the market and one way to get a secured space in the mint of these is through the Whitelist. The Whitelist is a way in which both users and creators of the collection can win, as users are given the opportunity to get the NFT at a low cost while for the creators, it serves as a list to get an idea of how the sale will go, even with this first exclusive mint you can get an initial fund to start moving the project further on the roadmap. How to join a Whitelist? Here we will share some recommendations for finding and joining Whitelist projects: Get to the project before the mint date All NFT projects in their early stages will have a Whitelist with a limited amount of slots, so if we get to the project on time we can see what activities the creators are doing to give away a spot on their WL. Join the social networks and the NFT project discord Every good NFT project has social networks mainly Twitter and much more important, they must have a discord server. Many times on their networks and discord there are competitions or invitational activities where the prize is a spot on the whitelist. In these accounts is where we will find the most updated information about the collection. Follow the instructions to join an NFT whitelist Each project manages its whitelist differently so it is important to always check what are the requirements to join a whitelist. Normally in the collection’s discord server, we can find a channel usually called #Whitelist-info. The whitelist is important because they give us an opportunity to join collections for lower prices, it is a way to get even closer as a user to a project. What is important to mention is that many times by DM both in discord and Twitter we can receive messages offering us places in a whitelist or telling us that we have been selected, many times these messages can be a scam. Remember that no moderator or project founder will send you a DM.

The acquired NFT is a surprise until the last minute. On the collection’s website, there is a section marked “Mint” and after making the payment, which as of today is equivalent to USD 134 in Polygon currency, the user will know his new token. On July 4 there are already 95 tokens issued from the collection and even some of them are already for resale on Open Sea or other marketplaces. So there are another 41 tokens left that can be purchased at launch price. Today we don’t taste if we could get a guarantee that the investment we will make will be increased, but that’s not always what the market is about, since this collection supports a cause and sometimes that’s what matters, the love of art and this NFT world in which we believe in both.

How to write a White Paper for Cryptocurrencies

Every crypto project that you want to rely on must have a white paper which is a document that includes all the detailed information about what you want to achieve with your project, its architecture, and the interaction with the users. A whitepaper should contain these points: Introduction: Write an introduction that hooks people to continue reading the rest of the whitepaper, you can start by giving the objective you hope to accomplish to talk about it later, explain the benefits and give an overview of the content that we will find in the whitepaper. The team: Introducing the team is an essential and fundamental part of the white paper, it is the human part inside a document full of technical specifications, you can include photos and small descriptions of the team such as what is their role in the project and their experience within the crypto world. Table of Contents: White Papers are technical documents, so on average they can have from 25 to more pages, so we can place a table with all the contents to touch, so the reader can locate the important topics and even read will the document by the topics that most interest him at the beginning. The objective of the project: This is where we start talking in-depth about the project, so take as many pages as you need to explain what is most important, explaining what the project is and where it is headed. How you are going to achieve it: In this part, you can talk about the prototype data, first users, development strategy, and a bit of the road ahead. Tokens: We will use this part to talk specifically about the tokens that make up the project, the way they work, and what their special features are. In the end, this is the image of the project, it is what people are going to see visually in their wallets so we have to give it a good presentation. How the funds raised will be used: It is necessary to show investor users where their money is going to be going in the early stages of the project so that they have a better notion of the investment they will make for the development of the project. The roadmap: Every good crypto project should present a detailed roadmap for the next 12-24 months, which you can make eye-catching by showing that it has been completed and where along the road the project is going. Legal Notice: Do not forget to place a legal notice or disclaimer, which should contain any important legal restrictions or notices. As certain regulations in countries and in general things help to indicate that in the end we all risk for the project and if it does not go well we all know what we were getting into. Alternate Modalities to White Papers Next, we will show additional documents to the white paper which are intended to complement the information found in the White Paper. One Pager A document that describes the White Paper in a more summarized form, normally with an extension of one or two pages at the most. Yellow Paper When we have complex innovations at a technological level, a yellow paper helps to describe well all these ideas and serves to expose to the investor if the team has the necessary technical capacity to develop the project correctly. Beige Paper It is a less technical and complex Yellow Paper for the understanding of all audiences. As final tips when preparing a White Paper we must use a formal writing style, without spelling mistakes and almost perfect writing is very descriptive and professional. We should review it more than once before publishing it and we also recommend translating it into the most spoken languages so that it can reach more people. At The Blue Manakin, we help you with your white paper to make it as detailed and eye-catching as possible.

How to write an NFT Smart Contract

Writing an NFT smart contract is something that can be done with programming, if we are not programmers we can hire one to make our own NFTs code, but here we will discuss how to do it with some common platforms for the creation of smart contracts. What is a Smart Contract? A smart contract is a code stored in the blockchain. In the NFT world it is what contains the collection of digital assets that we create and with it we can sell our NFTs on different platforms such as Opensea. What are the advantages of having our own smart contract? Creating your own smart contract, as opposed to having a shared one from platforms such as Opensea, gives you many advantages such as: platform independence You do not run the risk of having your collection limited or undergoing policy changes. You have more courage and confidence in the long run Making Web3 integrations easier Manifold.xyz Manifold.xyz is a completely free and one of the most convenient tools to create smart contracts in Ethereum without programming and allows to set shared royalties for all marketplaces that support this option. To create our own smart contract: Let’s go to the application Click on Start New Contract. Choose whether we want it to be ERC-721 (1/1) or ERC-1155 (1/x) NFTs. We write the name of the collection and the initials The contract goes to an ethereum test blockchain known as Rinkeby where we can request ETH for free in order to minify the contract and verify that everything is correct so we can now launch it to the ethereum mainnet by clicking on “Edit” in the Dashboard and clicking on “Confirm”. In our Dashboard we can also see the smart contracts we have created and manage them to create new NFTs or give access to wallets. Manifold offers other options but for them you must have a little knowledge in programming, but in general as we have explained you can generate smart contracts. Rarible Rarible can create smart contracts on Ethereum, Tezos and Flow blockchains by following these steps: Go to Create We choose the blockchain of our preference. Log in with the corresponding wallet Click on “Create Collection”. We generate our own smart contract. We fill in information such as the name of the collection, the contract and initials The process would be followed in the same way for all blockchains. Studio 721 Studio 721 helps us to generate our smart contract in Ethereum offering us several useful tools, it is somewhat more advanced but the customization possibilities it has are greater. The platform allows us to get a little more into the generated code, thus introducing modifications, and it also allows us to generate a pfp project with its Artkit in the smart contract. Studio 721 You can: Make collaborations with other collections so that users who own your NFT can mine in your smart contract, Generate whitelists Store your NFT metadata wherever you want. You can create an interface to mine NFTs in a specific contract. As we can see, there are platforms that make it easier for us to generate our smart contracts, so there is no excuse not to start creating our collection if we have a good idea. In The Blue Manakin we are always here to guide you with your collection.

Open sea data breach

Open Sea, the largest NFT marketplace, has had a massive data breach

OpenSea has had security problems so if you are a user of this platform it is very sure that your email was stolen by third parties, so the company warned that you could be sending messages for possible scams in your inbox or spam for the next few months. The leak is due to an employee of Customer.io, OpenSea’s email delivery partner, who downloaded and shared with a third party the emails of users of the platform. “He improperly used his employee access to download and share email addresses provided by OpenSea users and subscribers to our newsletter with an unauthorized external party,” the firm noted in its blog. Although the leak is not so serious since the users’ keys were not compromised, the users’ privacy was. In the past, users of this platform have already been victims of fraudsters receiving fraudulent links to their emails. We have in fact a blog talking about this news, we leave you the link here. Extortionists will use domains such as: OpenSea.io,  OpenSea.org and OpenSea.xyz. So it is important that before clicking on a link in any Open Sea email we check the domains and keep an eye on social networks to see if more users report the same email. This is not the first time that Open Sea has been attacked, but they are always looking for ways to rebuild trust with their users, so it is to be expected that we will see an upcoming security update.

NFT vending machine on the streets of New York City

Neon, the digital art collecting platform, introduced the first NFT vending machine in New York City, with the simple goal: To make digital art as easy to get as it is to walk into a store and buy a soda or a bar of chocolate. Why the innovation? “It’s the cryptocurrency-curious people who tried to buy cryptocurrencies or were interested in buying an NFT, but ran into too many barriers,” commented Kyle Zappitell, CEO of Neon, talking about the goal of the machine. This vending machine is located in a small storefront in Lower Manhattan’s financial district, with a large sign on the outside that reads “NFT ATM”, on the outside it looks like a normal vending machine but on the inside, it offers QR codes contained in small paper boxes and can be found priced between $5.99 and $420.69. To make it more accessible the machine will not only accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. In this way, it will manage to get more and more people to enter fully into the NFT universe. The purchase process is quite simple: The facility will be open 24 hours a day, The moment you buy your asset, the vending machine will eject a box with special codes for the selected NFT that can then be redeemed at Neon. Once the QR code is scanned, you can view your artwork on any smartphone, laptop, or tablet. The codes lead to two categories of digital art pieces, a color or a dove, but the interesting thing is that you have no idea which piece of digital art you will receive until you buy it. With $3 million in the capital, more vending machines are expected to be installed in shopping malls and other public spaces. “One of the most powerful messages of this initiative is that it uses this old-world technology to enable the adoption of new-world technology,” Zappitell said. Our recommendation is that if you are planning a trip to magnificent New York City soon you have one more new stop to add to your itinerary.
