4 – Cardano Developers Introduced World’s First NFTs of Appreciation (NFTAs)
In the last bit of crypto news for today, we have the Cardano Foundation declaring the minting of the world’s first non-fungible tokens of appreciation (NFTAs). Moreover, NFTAs are appreciation NFTs (just like certificates of appreciation) which were awarded to 10 Cardano (ADA) developers who contributed to the development of the blockchain.
In addition, the team has rewarded the community members with Bronze Tokens of Appreciation. These Bronze Tokens are a way to give the NFTAs extra utility over their collectability. Further, the project has chosen CIP 721 Metadata Standard to mint new tokens, which is an NFT-focused Cardano Improvement Proposal. Interestingly, this enables users to attach metadata with Cardano’s token to store the information on the blockchain.
NEW DEV BLOG: How we minted the NFTAs, and why we went for this standard
Tokens built on #Cardano are native. Unlike Ethereum’s ERC-20 tokens, Cardano doesn’t require a smart contract.
