At 15:00 on October 11th, the tron mascot "Boniu Tronbull" blind box jointly launched by APENFT and Tron Tron was officially launched, with a total of 10,000 Boniu Tronbull waiting to be minted and traded.
After the launch of Boniu Tronbull, it has aroused a lot of attention, and from this hot trend, Boniu Tronbull is expected to become a blockbuster mascot of the NFT track and further promote the development of the NFT field.
01 days: The tide of the times boosts, and NFTs are about to enter the singularity
In May, the 520 Auction Festival held by Taobao launched the NFT digital art special, and artist Wan Wenguang's works "U107 - Waste-free Planet System - Van Gogh of the Cabinet Family" and Hai Dad's work "Devil Cat - Colorful Wandering Body Green" were auctioned through the NFT. On August 1, Tencent launched the first NFT trading platform in China, "Phantom Core", to sell the NFT art collection of the sound "Thirteen Invitations"...
Why can the NFT field form such a big wave and attract major Chinese and foreign giants such as Ali and Tencent to keep up with the layout?
The essence of NFTs lies in non-homogenization, such as 1 BTC can be interchanged with 1 BTC, their anchor value is equal, can be exchanged at will, and non-homogeneous tokens are unique tokens, unique and indivisible.
That is to say, driven by blockchain technology, NFTs are not interchangeable, and have verifiable uniqueness and scarcity, and blockchain has achieved NFTs.
Therefore, NFTs have the ability to make real assets cross-universe, and it is possible to become an important asset form of the metaverse in the future, precisely because they are limited-edition assets, so they will have liquidity and practicality in the future metaverse.
NFTs will become a new way to change the on-chain and off-chain world conception and value exchange, blockchain has achieved NFTs, and NFTs will make real assets have cross-universe capabilities in the future, and may become important asset forms in the metacosm.
That is, with the explosion of the concept of the metaverse, before the arrival of the future metaverse, NFTs will first become the ticket to the metaverse, and the singularity moment belonging to NFTs is coming.
So how does the tron capture the singularity moment of the NFT? One with technical hard power. One proof of this is the acquisition of BitTorrent Inc., a San Francisco-based Internet technology company. The distributed technology designed by BitTorrent Inc. can be effectively scaled, remained intelligent, and gave creators and consumers control over their content and data. Previously, more than 170 million people used products developed by BitTorrent Inc. every month. BitTorrent Inc.'s protocol can carry 40% of the world's Internet traffic every day.
The other is its own capital advantage, such as Tron founder Sun Yuchen has participated in many crypto art auctions that have attracted much attention in the industry, including the first Twitter NFT that bid for $2 million for Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
Subsequently, Sun Yuchen filmed Beeple's work Ocean Front for $6 million, the NFT cover of Time Magazine (TIME) magazine TheComputer in Society April 2nd, 1965 for $209,000, and Picasso's with a Necklace and Andy Warhol's Three Self-Portraits for $20 million and $2 million, respectively. And it is fully included in the JUST NFT Fund, released on the Tron public chain in the form of TRC-721 protocol, and permanently saved on the BTFS decentralized storage system.
This will enhance the NFT strength of the tron and become the backing for the future development of the TRON in NFTs.
02 Location: Escorted by the APENFT Foundation
At the same time, this is also inseparable from the escort of APENFT.
APENFT is a foundation dedicated to NFTing and blockchaining the world's top artworks with the support of the world-renowned Ethereum Ethereum and TRON underlying technology, combined with the world's largest distributed data storage system BitTorrent FileSystem (BTFS). It owns works by well-known artists such as Picasso, crypto artists Beeple, Pak and other well-known artists, with a total value of nearly 200 million yuan.
One of the important things APENFT has to do right now is to launch the "NFT" token. At present, the ecological construction and reward mechanism of the "NFT" token are rich. Holders of "NFT" have the right to vote to decide on the disposition of works owned by APOENFT, the direction of future collections, and the way and duration of exhibitions. In this way, the "NFT" can not only help its holders actively participate in the ecological construction of the foundation, but also bring a higher sense of identity.
In addition to governance, "NFTs" can also bring generous rewards to holders who participate in the construction.
Since its inception, the APENFT Foundation has launched a number of explosive NFT collections and emerged in the NFT field. For example, ACCORDING to the latest data from the Gate.io NFT magic box, after the tribute TO KAWS series blind box was launched, the highest transaction price in the secondary market reached 1888 USDT in a short period of time, with a premium of 3676%. Tribute to the KAWS series blind box has also become the first popular blind box in the Gate.ioNFT magic box.
This can also be used as a reference for the blind box after the NFT of Boniu, from the performance of the KAWS series of blind boxes, Boniu may also be expected to bring new imagination to users participating in the activity.
TRON has partnered with APENFT to further strengthen its ecosystem by providing it with the underlying technology (TRON blockchain) and storage services (BTFS). From ecological construction, to wave cattle empowerment, to the optimization of governance mechanisms, a closed loop is formed.
In addition to this, the biggest difference between Boniu and other crypto avatars is "reputation", the reputation system mainly refers to the granting of governance tokens to actual users involved in decentralized networks or protocols, when the network or protocol is widely used, token holders can add economic rights and transferability to the tokens.
Through high-performance network support, strong underlying technical advantages, and deep NFT layout, Tron has made TRON the best incubator to support NFT outbreaks. Behind it is the ecological consensus, which is the identification in the future metaverse, and can support the vision of APENFT being large enough.
On March 17, 2021, TRON announced the details and specifications for TRC-721, followed by Sun Yuchen's successive art auctions and cooperation with Christie's, Sotheby's and Nifty Gateway's three major NFT auction platforms. In May this year, the APENFT Foundation issued a token "NFT" representing the value of its foundation's NFT works based on the Tron ecosystem, which also reflects the appeal of Tron in the field of NFTs.
03 People and: From design aesthetics to spiritual symbols, Boniu NFT achieves artistic longevity
NFTs first arose in the field of art, representing a spiritual symbol of art, bringing spiritual enjoyment. NFTs are highly sought after, repeatedly setting auction prices, scarcity is its table, the core is the artistic identity of digital assets.
After boniu was launched, it was sought after, inseparable from its artistic image. The core idea of the new version of the mascot "Boniu TRONBULL" comes from the "T" letter in the TRON Logo that happens to resemble the structure of the bull's head, so the overall IP visual upgrade is around this. In the TRON Logo, the "T" composed of three lines makes the line become a space and graphic that can be infinitely expanded, which is an extension of the brand TRON, an important fulcrum of the entire new version of "Boniu TRONBULL" in the design of the modeling structure, and it is a completely differentiated super visual symbol.
Digital art assets will also bring influence on the social level of the art world, Boniu NFT is not only a non-homogeneous token symbol, but also a social symbol, the experience economy and community consensus brought by encrypted avatars.
What supports the value of art lies in scarcity, and the same reason for the value attribute of NFT lies in the scarcity of brand limits and the scarcity of blockchain verification, and the integration of the two has increased the scarcity of the market. At the same time, the event of Boniu NFT adopted an activity mechanism that is very suitable for NFT. For example, Boniu uses blind boxes to sell, a random form that further amplifies the user's sense of scarcity.
Tron's brand mission is to "make the Internet decentralized again", the early era of NFT, the mascot of the head brand is the condensation of the brand spirit, in the future metaverse era, NFT and other digital assets, or will become the main carrier of the original assets of the metacosmity, is a cool spiritual symbol, behind the hidden is the art design, but also the brand culture, growth story, etc., which will also achieve the artistic longevity of the Wave Bull NFT in the digital world.
