👊 ✨ NFTs are making waves again — and this week, we’ve got another NFT highlight:

Welcome, Native NFTs!

Native NFTs are built directly into the blockchain protocol. They don’t require the deployment of a smart contract and offer numerous benefits to dApp builders and creators:

• Simplified creation and management
• Customization and flexibility
• Enhanced speed
• Cost efficiency
• Highly secure

= Best approach for NFTs for a wide range of applications.

. . .

Native NFTs, an NFT standard built by the Unique Network team, enables the minting of NFTs in seconds without using any smart contract, complex tools, or hard-to-follow platforms. This offers a more streamlined approach, greater accessibility, and efficiency for creating and managing NFTs.

→ Native NFTs fully support the ERC-721 standard and its extensions

🐾 Example Native NFTs are everywhere. Think back to Beeple’s “Everydays: The First 5000 Days”, NFT selling for $69.3 million in 2021.

🎶 Native NFTs are also in the form of digital music when Kings of Leon released their album in the form of an NFT — now all kinds of celebrities are getting involved in the NFT space in some shape or form.

Creating Native NFTs on Unique is simple, quick, and efficient — no fluff or hassle ✅

💭 Imagine it like you’re going to the supermarket. You turn up in your car, you have a list of groceries to get, you pay, pack up, and head up. This is similar to how Native NFTs work, you simply have a vision for your collection; create your NFTs, and start distributing.

. . .

⚡ Native NFTs Key Features Include:

→ Easy creation process
→ Scalable
→ Robust security
→ Reduced dependencies on smart contracts
→ Ecosystem-specific use cases, such as gaming, AI, fashion, music, tickets, art & media etc.
