We already covered why we believe NFTs Will Shape the Future, and you can access that by clicking the link below.
NFTs Come in Different Forms
Metamatn Vision & Approach
Blockchain and NFT are two words that often go hand in hand. However, they are not the same thing. Blockchain is the technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. NFTs (Named/Titled Tokens) are blockchain-based assets that represent a unique item or concept. In other words, NFTs are a new form of digital currency that can be used to represent anything from collectible art to real estate ownership. And just like any other currency, NFTs can be traded and exchanged between people. So while blockchain and NFT may seem similar at first glance, there is actually quite a bit of difference between them.
Digital Artwork
It's hard to believe that in just a few short years, digital art was nothing more than an afterthought for most artists. Today, it's one of the most exciting and innovative genres of art, with a vibrant community of artists and collectors all over the world. And it's not just art lovers who are taking notice. More and more businesses are starting to see the value in investing in digital art and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). From major corporations (Meta, Instagram, Behance, Apple, Nike, etc.) to small startups, everyone is trying to get into this world one use case at a time.
There are also NFTs for collectible items like baseball cards, antique coins, and rare art. The value of these items is determined by their rarity and can be traded between users. Collectibles are frequently used in gaming. You may be familiar with collectible cards like Magic the Gathering, Pokémon cards, or Parallel Alpha. If you want to attend an event but do not have enough money, you may use a collectible as a ticket. Collectibles can be used as tickets to events in addition to being collected.

This can be helpful if you want to use a platform that requires you to verify your identity but is concerned about revealing your social security number, such as when applying for a credit card. However, this type of use case is not really something that we focus on @metamatn.
We will discuss and focus on the use cases that are our expertise.
NFTs are increasingly being used for authentication and identification. NFTs have a number of advantages compared to traditional forms of identification, such as a social security number or driver’s license. Because NFTs are unique and can be verified to be valid, they can be used to prove your identity without needing to reveal your entire identity. For example, you might use an NFT to prove that you are over the legal drinking age without exposing your social security number.
Collectible items/Trading cards
Gaming
This type of NFT is used to represent in-game items, characters, and other assets. A game developer can create a game token that represents a valuable item in the game. For example, they can create a sword token that has more power than the other swords in the game. There are limits on gaming tokens, so you need to make sure the token is balanced and not too powerful for the game. We won't dive into this type of NFT yet, will write another in-depth analysis of Music NFT in the near future to cover the shift in that industry as well.
Tickets are our favorite type of NFT that can be used to access a certain event or place. This is one of our featured items @Metamatn. NFT Tickets can be purchased to get access or customized access to certain parts of the event. However, unlike a traditional ticket, an event ticket token would be a unique token that can’t be duplicated or replaced with another ticket. The event ticket token can then be transferred between people and can be sold or traded online. The best use case by research was Coachella NFT Tickets.
Event Tickets
Example of one of our upcoming Dapp which is an NFT Book reading app where you can collect, share, and read books as well as networks with others.
Music and media
These types of tokens can be used to represent an artist’s work. For example, an artist can create a token that represents a one-year subscription to his music channel. You can transfer this token to someone else and they can use it to access the music channel. Or, you can use it yourself if you are the artist. Music and media tokens can also be used to represent ownership of intellectual property.
For one thing, it could mean more revenue for artists. NFTs can be sold for a variety of prices, and the sky's the limit when it comes to what someone is willing to pay for a unique piece of digital art/ music. It could also mean more control for artists over their work. With NFTs, artists can choose who owns their music and how it's used. They can also put restrictions on copying and distributing their work, which could help reduce piracy. Of course, there are also some risks associated with NFTs. For example, the value of an NFT can fluctuate wildly, and there's no guarantee that an NFT will retain its value over time. Additionally, the process of creating and selling an NFT can be expensive and time-consuming.
Virtual Fashion
Virtual fashion is a type of NFT that is used to represent virtual clothing items. A virtual fashion token can be used to buy clothes in a game, such as Fortnite or Pokémon Go. You can then sell or trade the token or use it to create your own virtual wardrobe.
There are many benefits to using NFTs to purchase virtual fashion. Firstly, NFTs are permanent and cannot be replicated, so you can be sure that the clothes you purchase are unique. Secondly, NFTs can be traded or sold, so you can make money from your virtual wardrobe if you no longer want the clothes. Finally, NFTs are stored on the blockchain, so they are secure and cannot be hacked or deleted. There are a few things to bear in mind when purchasing NFTs for virtual fashion. Firstly, the prices of NFTs can fluctuate, so it is important to do your research before purchasing. Secondly, NFTs can only be used on certain platforms, so make sure the platform you want to use is compatible with the NFT your purchase. Finally, some NFTs may be subject to taxes, so be sure to check the tax laws in your country before making a purchase.

Real-world assets are a type of NFT that represent assets, such as a car or a piece of land. These tokens are used to represent assets that can’t easily be transferred online. You can use a real-world asset token to represent ownership of an asset in your virtual universe. You can also use these tokens to represent ownership of a physical item, such as a car.
Real-world assets
A meme is a type of NFT that represents a humorous image or phrase. A meme token can be used to create your own virtual meme. You can use the meme token to create new memes or to collect and organize your favorite memes. You can share your token with your friends and see what memes they create.
