🚀 NFT Market When Moon? 🚀

The Ethereum blockchain market is still a bit crippled because of those incredible high gas fees. As long as this isn’t solved on Ethereum, we’ll see an exodus to other blockchains or Layer-2 solutions. Aavegotchi is now migrating to Matic, Gods Unchained and Axie Infinity will soon launch their own sidechains. Yet still, last year we’ve seen some growth in gaming, even though DeFi actually stole the spotlight. This year so far has been all about non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and community governance. In the past week we’ve seen some major sales for digital art and game assets, something with virtual banks in MMOs. community casinos in virtual worlds and Rick & Morty. Maybe this year will be the major breakthrough? NBA Top Shot is sure helping to bring NFTs into the mainstream. Have a nice weekend! — Robert Hoogendoorn
