Non-Fungible DAO Unveiled, Powered by NFT

Non-Fungible DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) introduced itself on Monday. It said that would be a community-owned, decentralized organization.

Its mission: to develop and drive adoption of the protocols that will power the future of NFT commerce.

While digital asset adoption is still in its early phases, the future will see most of the world interacting with NFTs every day, argued the team.

Non-Fungible DAO owns and governs open-source technologies for NFTs across major chains. This includes smart contracts originally developed by the Magic Eden marketplace on four chains: Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon.

Magic Eden commented, saying it would be open-sourcing and contributing its trading and minting protocols to the DAO.

Per the DAO, each NFT token holder will be able to vote on governance and the use of the ecosystem funds.

Most of the NFT token supply will be allocated to the community. Community members who use the protocols owned by the Non-Fungible DAO can earn the token.

As for “WEN NFT,” the team said “SOON.”

The token is still not deployed, they said, and there are no airdrops yet. MagicEden CEO Jack Lu also commented on the news:

At @MagicEden, our mission is to make digital ownership universal. That mission will take many years.

And to fulfill this mission, we know we have to draw on the heart of Web 3: community & openness.

The popular CryptoPunks collection has taken the first spot per sales volume today. According to CryptoSlam, it is up 12% over the last 24 hours, currently standing at $3,550,498.

Its buyers are up 56%, sellers 25%, and transactions 29%.

Meanwhile, the CryptoPunks team initially released CryptoPunks721 in December. They encountered some issues, having to fix those and relaunch on Thursday.

Punks, thanks for your patience. The team has identified and fixed the issue with the Stash contract, and CryptoPunks721 has been relaunched.

Per the website, CryptoPunks721 is the official CryptoPunks smart contract for converting CryptoPunk tokens into ERC-721 tokens by “wrapping” them.

ERC-721 is a data standard on Ethereum on which most NFT collections are built. However, CryptoPunks predates the creation of the ERC-721 standard. Therefore, to work smoothly with certain protocols, it must be converted.

“The conversion process is called “wrapping” and creates a CryptoPunks721 wrapped CryptoPunk,” the team said.

Wrapping enables owners to use their NFTs on platforms or in ecosystems that primarily support fungible tokens. This includes NFT marketplaces and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

CryptoPunks can also be unwraped at any time.

The wrapper contract is gas-optimized, said the team, using about half of the gas as the third-party contract for wrapping, unwrapping, and transferring CryptoPunks.
