<h2>Jæn, Crypto Artist and Art Director</h2>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: Hello Jæn and thank you for your time! As part of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/corporate/nft-heroes-07-paul-fxhash" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our series on the key players in the ecosystem</a>, I wanted to ask you a few questions, firstly let me ask you to introduce yourself.</p>



<p><strong>Jæn</strong>: I started my artistic career in traditional, physical art, 3D printed street art and augmented reality. I also made a lot of commercial illustrations with clients like Disney, Diesel and PayPal. I had been playing with digital for a while, and I felt that you shouldn&#8217;t necessarily wait until you have a physical justification to create a digital work.</p>



<p>In 2020, when I discovered NFTs it answered all the questions I was asking myself. No need to have a physical medium to enhance digital art. It already works, there is a lively culture.. I switched to full-time at the end of 2020 without hesitation.</p>



<h2>Do you have a project right now?</h2>



<p><strong>Jæn</strong>: Yes! It&#8217;s called The Big Dream, with a collective named Dreame. We managed to form a team of more than 60 artists from all over the planet and above all, with more than 50% women! Parity is something that is very important for this project.&nbsp;</p>



<p>We collect dreams from all over the world. The concept is very simple: just go to <a href="https://big.drea.me" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">big.drea.me</a> and give your vision of the world in 2030. How would you dream of the world in 2030?</p>



<p>We collected thousands of dreams from all over the world and then the artists drew from this database and illustrated it. It&#8217;s really quite a moving and special experience, it feels like you&#8217;re digging into the subconscious of humanity.</p>



<p>Among these artworks, we made 500 that we then merged to make a single large one. This set has already been exhibited all around the world: Time Square, Shibuya, Spain, London&#8230; And we want to continue to go around the world to continue to bring people and their dreams closer together through this artistic project!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="955" height="728" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/dreame-exhibit-location.jpg" alt="dreame exhibit location" class="wp-image-22721" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/dreame-exhibit-location.jpg 955w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/dreame-exhibit-location-300x229.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/dreame-exhibit-location-768x585.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.big.drea.me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drea.me</a> exhibition location</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>This big patchwork new work was sold as an <a href="https://niftygateway.com/marketplace/collection/0x7a40dceff3693d6274a17bc11b00ab1afaa8a581" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">open edition on Nifty Gateway</a>. And this collage was also sent to the International Space Station to be exhibited inside, the first cryptoart to do so!</p>



<p>There will also be an auction of a unique edition that will allow the collector to choose from the 500 works in order to make it a &#8220;curated collection&#8221;. A third of the profits generated by the sales of this new collection would be donated to the artist selected by the collector, a third to whole collection and therefore a third to the Collector-Curator. That’s the current plan.</p>



<p>15% of the sales will be donated to charities in total, 10% of which will be managed by the collectors of the 2 NFTs, with a distribution inspired by the dreams collected. For example, if there are 15% who dream of stopping the war in the world, 15% of the funds will be used for this cause.</p>



<h2>How do you see the NFT ecosystem in 5 years?</h2>



<p><strong>Jæn</strong>: It&#8217;s complicated, there are a lot of predictions. Everyone gets excited about blockchain gaming but it&#8217;s when everyone is excited about something that you need to take a step back right? I’ve noticed that the game design, scenario or gameplay parts are often overlooked in the Play to Earn (P2E) games I’ve seen. Players are happy to make money but don&#8217;t say &#8220;I&#8217;m happy playing the game&#8221;.</p>



<p>Some say that art or visual creation will fade with NFTs. I disagree with that, every artist manages to use NFTs in a way  so specific to them that it will necessarily give way to something very interesting. I don&#8217;t see a logical explanation why <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/art/the-cryptoart-movement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto-art</a> would go away.</p>



<p>I also think that NFTs will develop into everyday applications, with <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/utility/fixing-event-ticketing-with-nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT concert tickets</a> or membership passes for example. By a big adoption, rather a generalisation. To return to art, generative art is finding its place but it is especially programmable art that I find incredible. On Async Art in particular, there is no need to know how to code to make programmable art! For a code newbie like me, it&#8217;s just perfect. If this could be the direction that NFTs are taking in the future, tout would be the dream!</p>



<h2>In your opinion, what is the barrier to NFT &#8220;mass adoption&#8221; by the general public?</h2>



<p><strong>Jæn</strong>: I would say learning how to manage a wallet. Even if today there are custodial solutions that allow you to have a wallet just thanks to a login and a password, this brings some complications. For example, with our drop on Nifty Gateway, we realised that as long as the NFT was held on the platform, it did not really exist. You can&#8217;t interact with it (except with an API but it&#8217;s extremely complicated). It&#8217;s good for a bigger adoption but it has limits.</p>



<p>I don&#8217;t really see how to simplify it, maybe it just takes time for people to learn how to use a wallet?</p>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>As we progress through our series of interviews from ecosystem players, it becomes so apparent that the future will be rich with innovative ideas and projects.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These will no doubt form the basis for a new digital reality likely to span over the next few decades shaping the world to come across multiple industries..</p>


During the Non Fungible Conference in Lisbon, which took place 4-5 April 2022, we were honored to have been able to interview key players from across the NFT ecosystem. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to speak with crypto artist Jæn who was kind enough to answer our questions!

NFT Heroes #8: Jæn


<h2>Paul, Growth &amp; Community Manager at fxhash</h2>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: Hello Paul and thank you for your time! As part of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/corporate/nft-heroes-gaspard-broustine-ledger" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our series on the key players in the ecosystem</a>, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Let&#8217;s start with the first one, can you introduce yourself?</p>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: I’m an fxhash community manager and, together with others, am responsible for the platform’s growth. fxhash is a platform for creating and collecting generative art NFTs on the Tezos blockchain. Since launching in 2021, we’ve witnessed an explosion of interest in creating art with code and have given that art a home – we don’t curate the platform, so anyone can release a NFT art project here.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: how did you discover NFTs?</p>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: I originally discovered NFTs because of the Beeple sale, which I think makes me an NFT late bloomer! Afterward, I seemed to read about NFTs everywhere I turned until I finally discovered <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/artblocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Art Blocks</a>. However, I was instantly priced out of AB works and didn’t want to pay the obscene ETH gas prices, nor could I ignore the environmental impact of ‘proof of work’ blockchains.&nbsp;</p>



<p>So, while my generative art obsession became stronger, I sought out an environmentally-friendly alternative and discovered <a href="https://tezos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tezos</a> and the legendary Hic et Nunc art platform (it is now extinct but the community has created its own version called <a href="https://teia.art/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Teia</a>). After that, it was game over – I was full-blown addicted to NFTs.</p>



<h2>Do you think NFT and generative art changed traditional digital art?</h2>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: Yes, without a doubt. Generative art and NFTs are a powerful combination that are taking digital art to its limits – and even beyond them. Before NFTs, there was no real, immutable, and decentralized way to prove ownership of a digital item. But now, because of NFTs, we can easily confer the same uniqueness physical objects have enjoyed to digitally native things like art.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Generative art NFTs stretch this paradigm even further. An artist’s algorithm can often produce an unlimited quantity of unique iterations, each of them a part of the meta-project with easily identifiable provenance, yet they also exist as singular assets.</p>



<h2>How do you see NFTs in 5 years ?</h2>



<p><strong>Paul </strong>: In five years, we will no longer be speaking about NFTs because they’ll be the default standard for asset issuance, ownership, and authenticity. NFTs will be everywhere, likely backing many things we take for granted today, like event tickets and deeds. Since NFTs will back the authenticity of most, if not all transactable objects, we’ll probably drop the whole “NFT” thing. So, art NFTs will just be art.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>What is the biggest barrier for NFT Mass adoption?</h2>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: Right now, I think it’s the onboarding. There’s still a lot of technical terms, it’s super geeky… Look, there’s Gucci making an NFT drop but it looks like they didn’t know how to do it. You still have to create a wallet, which introduces technical difficulties and special knowledge requirements. We’re still in the Wild West days for NFT adoption – it’s going to take tons of education, outreach, and simplifying the user experience before NFTs gain true mass adoption.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Any preferred Art Generative project?</h2>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: Garden, Monoliths by Zancan is my goal right now. It’s such a beautiful and exceptional work of art, and it’s also hard to believe it’s created with code. Garden, Monoliths (or <em>Gardens</em> for short) also perfectly represents the NFT generative art renaissance happening on Tezos now. Tezos uses 2 million times <em>less</em> energy than Ethereum, making it a truly green blockchain, thus preserving more greenspace for IRL gardens, too.</p>



<p>What if<strong> </strong>I love Generative art but I don’t know how to code?</p>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: Actually, me neither! But what’s great about fxhash is you can see and read the code to understand the artist’s logic and creative process. Everybody can see and comment on the code – and thanks to this transparency, it’s easy to verify an artwork’s originality and also set the artist’s signature in stone on the blockchain.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The <a href="https://discord.com/invite/fxhash" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fxhash discord</a> is also a great place to congregate if you want to learn to code &#8211; there’s super successful artists who are humble enough to just chill in the support channels and help anyone trying to learn.</p>



<h2>Any future projects ?</h2>



<p><strong>Paul</strong>: Not right now. We are fully focused on fxhash because it’s still very early and young and we need to continue building core platform features, even after our release of the full platform.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Our current focus is on empowering everyday collectors to become curators, giving artists even more modularity for dropping new artwork, and further enhancing current marketplace features.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Conclusion:</p>



<p>Fascinating to see how people who call themselves late to the scene are building core ecosystem projects such as fxhash.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The question arises, are they truly late or, more likely, are these recent passionate members of the ecosystem merely joining a growing movement which will continue to expand for decades to come?</p>


During the Non Fungible Conference in Lisbon, which took place 4-5 April 2022, we were honored to have been able to interview key players from across the NFT ecosystem. Paul, Growth & Community Manager at fxhash answered our questions!

NFT Heroes #7: Paul from fxhash


<p>We have been part of the Ethereum NFT Ecosystem since its infancy and one of our core ethos has always been to bring transparency and education to the space.</p>



<p>The financial element around NFTs, although an integral part, can go some way to distracting with hype from the innovative technology behind every new project.</p>



<p>We provide free NFT data and free market reports to give to everyone the most accurate overview of the NFT market. As with every other NFT builder in the ecosystem, our product is being improved on an ongoing basis.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are some insights to assist with understanding how to use our data to its fullest potential and where we’re heading this year.</p>



<h2>Which blockchains we’re tracking and how we use data</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/Blockchain-Data-tracked-for-our-2021-Yearly-Report.jpg" alt="Blockchain Data tracked for nonfungible.com 2021 Yearly Report" class="wp-image-21304" width="637" height="474" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/Blockchain-Data-tracked-for-our-2021-Yearly-Report.jpg 849w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/Blockchain-Data-tracked-for-our-2021-Yearly-Report-300x223.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/Blockchain-Data-tracked-for-our-2021-Yearly-Report-768x572.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px" /><figcaption><em>Blockchain Data tracked for our </em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2021/en/yearly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>2021 Yearly Report</em></a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Today, we’re tracking the NFT sales on three blockchains :&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>ERC-721 on Ethereum (no ERC-1155 yet),&nbsp;</li><li>Flow</li><li>Ronin</li></ul>



<p>All the data we’re using are coming straight from the blockchain.&nbsp;</p>



<p>No API.&nbsp;</p>



<p>No third-party.&nbsp;</p>



<p><br>We run a full-archive Ethereum Node and develop proprietary technology to track all the NFT sales regardless of the project, currency, or marketplace.</p>



<p>We have read-access to the Flow network.<br>We are the <a href="https://explorer.roninchain.com/validators" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">longest-running validator of the Ronin network</a>.</p>



<p>We currently track Ethereum, Ronin, and Flow but Ethereum data has been the only one displayed on the website so far. The good news is: the two other chains will be available shortly but that does mean the current backfilling is currently impacting the market tracker for the time being.</p>



<h2>Our values: integrity, transparency &amp; clarity</h2>



<p>Every day, we keep improving our methodology and our tools in accordance with the “Web3 ethos”.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Integrity in the NFT market is one of our goals.</strong></p>



<p>It’s easy to be misled by data in our industry so we purposefully choose to only present to you information we are 100% sure of.</p>



<p>That’s why some marketplaces such as <a href="https://rarible.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rarible</a>, <a href="https://x2y2.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X2Y2</a>, or <a href="https://looksrare.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Looksrare</a> are not included in our data. The reward offered on these marketplaces incentivizes wash trading. Therefore, we do not count these sales as legitimate. We look forward to presenting this data when we’ll have the tools to automatically identify the outliers in real-time.</p>



<p>In the meantime, feel free to <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2021/en/special-safe-practices" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our free “NFT Good Practices” guide</a>.</p>



<p>We will always verify first: we do see every NFT collection when they come out but we choose to check the smart contract before adding the metadata to our database.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><strong>To ensure data transparency, we build all of our own tracking &amp; analysis tools.</strong></strong></p>



<p>This requires expertise and time, and just like any other technology-based activity, bugs can and do occur. We’re happy to discuss our methodology or what features should be added with you. Feel free to <a href="https://nonfungible.com/bug-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report any bug</a> you might come across on our website.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Finally, we aim to be as clear and transparent as possible with our audience</strong>. That’s why our methodology is explained in every report or analysis we release.</p>



<h2>Our next moves</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="758" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible-1024x758.jpg" alt="our next moves at NonFungible" class="wp-image-21306" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible-1024x758.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible-300x222.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible-768x569.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible-1536x1138.jpg 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/our-next-moves-at-NonFungible.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Our next moves at NonFungible.com</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>A supercharged team</strong></p>



<p>The tracking of new chains took us somewhat longer than initially anticipated. This is due to certain complexities which is to be expected with such fringe technology.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But here’s the good news: we’re now listing new projects every week and planning to add more blockchains on our Market Tracker.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ronin was added for Axie Infinity in April 2022.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Flow is included in our <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2022/en/q1-quarterly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">latest report</a>.</p>



<p>So you can guess who will be next on our website&#8230;&nbsp;</p>



<p>And they won’t be the only ones to be added this year!</p>



<p>Even if we’re not “testing in production”, there will be bugs and there will be backfilling sessions. We keep an eye on this and we’re always thankful for bug reports from your side.</p>



<p>We are proud to be so prominent and trusted in the space by so many newcomers and OGs alike. We&#8217;re still building out the tools we’ve imagined existing since 2017: a marketplace-agnostic NFT tracker to help everyone access the most accurate and complete NFT data possible.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Building Web3 in a collaborative way is the only way we trust and we will continue to bring you tools and data.</strong></p>


We’re providing free NFT data & reports to give you the most accurate overview of the NFT market. Here’s how to use our data and where we’re heading this year.

Our commitment to building a better Web3


<p>The NFT market experienced strong euphoria in 2021, mainly driven by the Collectibles segment. But at the end of the year, the various volumes began to decline and this trend continued in the first quarter of 2022. This is explained in particular by a rather complex geopolitical context but not only.</p>

<h2><strong>How the NFT Market reacted to the Ukraine war</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="900" height="584" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Google-trends-NFTs-Ukraine-Q1-2022.jpg" alt="Google trends NFTs Ukraine Q1 2022" class="wp-image-21102" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Google-trends-NFTs-Ukraine-Q1-2022.jpg 900w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Google-trends-NFTs-Ukraine-Q1-2022-300x195.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Google-trends-NFTs-Ukraine-Q1-2022-768x498.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><figcaption><em>Search volume around &#8220;Non Fungible Tokens&#8221; &amp; &#8220;Ukraine&#8221; Topics. Source: Google Trends</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>One of the most significant events of this first quarter is the war in Ukraine. This is probably what has marked the biggest brake in the industry as we can see on this Google Trends search chart.</p>



<p>With the media oversaturating on the subject towards the end of the year, it was natural for the interest to drop. Another important factor is the Fed&#8217;s announcements at the beginning of the year regarding the slowdown in &#8220;anti-covid&#8221; financial measures.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Global NFT performance</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="677" height="588" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Global-NFT-Performance-Q1-2022.jpg" alt="Global NFT Performance Q1 2022" class="wp-image-21096" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Global-NFT-Performance-Q1-2022.jpg 677w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Global-NFT-Performance-Q1-2022-300x261.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px" /><figcaption><em>Global NFT Performance Q1 2022</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Overall, the indicators are bearish. As we announced in our 2021 annual report, a decrease in NFT sales volume due to the saturation of the collectible market was to be expected. Many projects, such as Profile Picture (PFP) with a 10,000 asset supply have declined sharply to make way for projects with less supply.</p>



<p>However, this drop in sales volume is accompanied by a much smaller drop in the volume of dollars traded (only 5% drop).</p>



<p>Although the number of active wallets is also decreasing, the number of buyers is still higher than the number of sellers which means that the interest in buying NFT is still present.</p>



<p>With nearly $8 billion traded in the first quarter of 2022, the market cannot really be considered to have collapsed. We are observing a stabilization of the NFT market, in line with the last quarter of 2021.</p>



<p>However, two indicators are on the rise:</p>



<ul><li>The number of smart contracts increased by 10.46%, from 1,271 in Q4 2021 to 1,404 in Q1 2022</li><li>The average price of non-fungible tokens&nbsp; increased by 80%, from $587 in Q4 2021 to $1,057 in Q1 2022</li></ul>



<p>The increase in the number of smart contracts means an increase in the number of projects that are created and are active. The builders of web3 are still present, and their number is increasing. The average price of NFTs was driven by sales of &#8220;bluechips&#8221; projects such as <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bored Ape Yacht Club</a>, <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptopunks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoPunks</a>, <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/azuki" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Azuki </a>or <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cyberbrokers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cyberbrokers</a>.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="442" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Sales-USD-number-NFT-sales-Q1-2022-1024x442.jpg" alt="Sales USD number NFT sales Q1 2022" class="wp-image-21100" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Sales-USD-number-NFT-sales-Q1-2022-1024x442.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Sales-USD-number-NFT-sales-Q1-2022-300x129.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Sales-USD-number-NFT-sales-Q1-2022-768x331.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/Sales-USD-number-NFT-sales-Q1-2022.jpg 1046w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Volume of sales and dollars traded. NFT Primary market and Secondary market (Q1 2022)</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The secondary market represents almost 90% of the value in circulation for approximately 70% of the sales volume.</p>



<p>As a reminder, the secondary market in 2021 represented:</p>



<ul><li>47% of transactions</li><li>82% of the value traded</li></ul>



<p>We observe here a very clear decline in the primary market, which is explained by a (healthy) slowdown in the production of assets on the market. The frenzy of new NFTs seems to have slowed and most of the value remains in the secondary market.</p>



<p>This trend gives the feeling that the secondary market is still trying to “digest” all the NFTs that were issued in the primary market last year. We are in a post-saturation phase of the market, which helps to explain this slowdown.</p>

<h2><strong>NFT Activity by segment</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="708" height="749" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFT-segment-activity-Q1-2022.jpg" alt="NFT segment activity Q1 2022" class="wp-image-21098" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFT-segment-activity-Q1-2022.jpg 708w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFT-segment-activity-Q1-2022-284x300.jpg 284w" sizes="(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px" /><figcaption><em>Breakdown of NFT activity by segment</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Several conclusions emerge from these charts:</p>



<ul><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker?segment=collectible&amp;days=7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Collectibles </a>represent a larger share than ever in the NFTs markets with nearly 80% of the total volume traded.&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker?segment=game&amp;days=7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blockchain Gaming</a> remains a major segment in the number of sales and active wallets. However, this segment is dominated by Axie Infinity.</li><li>The <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker?segment=metaverse&amp;days=7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Metaverses</a>, although over-hyped, currently represent only a minor part of the overall NFT industry.</li></ul>



<p>However, each segment has its own interpretation. It’s normal to have a high asset supply for video games but a low one for Metaverse.&nbsp; <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker?segment=art&amp;days=7">Art</a> is not intended to present the same liquidity as the Collectibles segment.</p>



<h2><strong>The NFT market is stabilizing</strong></h2>



<p>The great novelty of this quarter is undoubtedly the evolution of profitability in the NFT markets. Making a profit in NFTs in 2022 won’t be as easy as 2021. That said, we can stay optimistic about the future of the NFT industry.</p>



<p>Yes, the asset, USD and active wallet volume decreased compared to the Q4 2021. But compared to the Q1 2021, volume is still very encouraging! Remember that this market was built after the initial coin offering (ICO) period of 2017 and therefore, is very resilient to the crypto-market volatility.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Those who entered the NFT industry in 2021 and hoped that the hyper-growth to continue at the same pace must have some mixed feelings about this industry. However, we truly believe that we’re living the opening of a new chapter. What will it be? Presumably something around the construction of bigger, more ambitious NFT projects and new experiments.</p>

Our NFT Market Report Q1 2022 is published


<h2>Gaspard Broustine, NFT Project Manager at Ledger.</h2>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: Hello Gaspard and thank you for your time! As part of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/corporate/nonfungible-heroes-matty-dclblogger" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">our series on the key players in the ecosystem</a>, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Let&#8217;s start with the first one, can you introduce yourself?</p>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: I&#8217;m a collector of NFTs, that&#8217;s how I got into the world of Web3, Crypto and Digital Art. It was in 2019 that I realized, during my readings, it was possible to collect Digital Art.</p>



<p>The certificate of authenticity of an artwork is the most important element in traditional art. We can view original works of art with carbon 14 or thanks to the DNA contained in the canvas. But if there is no certificate of authenticity it can be almost impossible to sell.</p>



<p>The blockchain, by its technology, solves this problem in particular thanks to NFTs&#8230; and when I realized it, I started collecting them.</p>



<h2>How did you get to Ledger and what is your role?</h2>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: When the world of NFTs exploded in the traditional sector, I told myself that I was going to spend my full time in my passion, and so I applied to Ledger.</p>



<p>My mission, these recent months, has been to upgrade all the features of Ledger products for NFTs. The problem we want to solve at Ledger is around the safety of users. In the <a href="https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ledger Live</a> software, it is possible to interact directly with your hardware wallet and since recently, it is especially possible to interact with NFTs.</p>



<p>Either receiving or sending them..it seems like nothing but making everything work on Ledger Live is not always easy: NFTs are the fusion of Web2 and Web3. The images metadata are still hosted on servers (web2).</p>



<p>So we try to make sure that we only depend on one entity to be able to retrieve and display NFT metadata. As much as possible, we want to be able to retrieve as much metadata as possible on our side so that we can be totally independent.</p>



<p>Regarding the sending of NFTs, one of the current concerns is the &#8220;blind signing&#8221; which, as its name suggests, does not say what you sign when you send an NFT. This means that the user can sign just about anything (such as authorizing token spending without the user being aware of it) .</p>



<p>My role as a NFT Project Manager is therefore, on the one hand, to find secure solutions for the display of NFTs in Ledger Live and, on the other hand, to make possible a visible and understandable reading of the outgoing information on the Ledger screen.</p>



<h2>What do you think is the biggest obstacle to the &#8220;mass adoption&#8221; of NFTs by the general public?</h2>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: The biggest difficulty to NFT mass adoption is the ease of use. Especially for Ledger because we are a security solution so it requires additional steps to set up your wallet the first time. It takes time to educate new users or artists on what a blockchain is… as it is a new technology, it is not obvious. However, it is necessary to understand the basic principles before you can use it, even if it is complicated. Cryptography is mathematics, public key/private keys&#8230; The ramp to cryptos and NFTs is therefore a bit rough!</p>



<p>Even if hot wallets like Metamask facilitate access to crypto, they still give only an illusion of control. Indeed, the user is more vulnerable to attacks than a hardware wallet owner like a Ledger.</p>



<p>Another limitation for the adoption of NFTs is, in my opinion, that we are still too much dependent on web2 technologies.</p>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: You mean it would be easier for you to manage <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/opinions/importance-onchain-nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on-chain NFTs</a>?</p>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: Of course! But with the technical limitations of Ethereum, it&#8217;s extremely difficult to have completely on-chain images. Fortunately there are Layer 2s coming.</p>



<h2>How do you see the NFT ecosystem in 5 years?</h2>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: I think art and culture will continue to adopt NFTs massively. Cinema, digital art, brands will also offer NFTs to their customers in the future. I really think that the wallet will be the equivalent of a digital identity in the future. This will first affect art but then many other sectors.</p>



<p><strong>Besancia</strong>: rather bullish then?</p>



<p><strong>Gaspard</strong>: Completely bullish!</p>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>As the adoption of digital assets continues to grow, it’ sawesome to have the opportunity to meet the people who are shaping the technology around this ecosystem. Many thanks to Gaspard and we look forward to bringing you more interviews taken during our time at NFT Lisbon! </p>

During the Non Fungible Conference in Lisbon, which took place 4-5 April 2022, we were honored to have been able to interview key players from across the NFT ecosystem. Gaspard Broustine, NFT Project Manager at Ledger was the first to answer our questions!

NFT Heroes #6: Gaspard Broustine from Ledger


<p>Our colors have changed a lot : We are bold and subtle, dynamic and humble, pioneering and critical about the ecosystem evolution. The new palette is more aligned with our vision and DNA: an elegant blue, minimalistic grey tones and a catchy energetic orange. We deliver reliable analysis and work under radar most of the time but I can guarantee you that you will hear us when it is time to call out the bullshit.</p>



<p>Our new logotype and wordmark is a simplified version of the previous logo with a little twist. Sleek and timeless, this new design will last through the years and stays true to who we are: minimal, structured and efficient. Sometimes less is more.</p>

In a year NonFungible.com has grown from Dan & Zoup to a team of 15 employees. Our visual identity needed to evolve to match. The core idea and team remains unchanged, what once organically happened has become more conscious and precise.

Presenting the New NonFungible.com Identity


<p>More than 2500 people, 150 speakers, 2 full days of conference. In Lisbon, from 4 to 5 April 2022, the Non Fungible Conference (NFC) took place and we participated!</p>



<p>All large-scale events specializing in NFTs have always taken place historically in the US or Asia. But never in Europe. Of course, there have been many meetups. There are also specialized crypto or DeFi conferences. But nothing about NFTs specifically.</p>



<p>Yet Europe is full of talent and leadership in this area. <a href="https://www.sandbox.game/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Sandbox</a>, <a href="https://www.overthereality.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OVR</a>, <a href="https://www.mintbase.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mintbase</a> and even some members of NonFungible.com have been living in Europe and building the Web3 for years.</p>



<p>Here is our feedback on this event which was rich and intense.</p>



<h2>Digital Art and NFTs</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint.jpg" alt="NFC 2022 mercedes paint" class="wp-image-20187" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint.jpg 1600w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-mercedes-paint-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></figure></div>



<p>Throughout the event, several exhibitions and artistic events took place. Not only at the venue of the Non-Fungible Conference but also in the surrounding area!</p>



<p>The &#8220;permanent&#8221; exhibition of artists brought together more than 50artists who were able to invest entire rooms. As soon as you entered the NFC, it was possible to quickly see the exhibition in a room with little light.&nbsp;</p>



<p>And in the middle of all these screens, a collective work in support of the victims of the war in Ukraine.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol.jpg" alt="NFC 2022 NFT art Mariupol " class="wp-image-20191" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol.jpg 1600w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-NFT-art-Mariupol-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><figcaption><em>Non Fungible Conference 2022 &#8211; Mariupol</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>‘Mariupol’ is a dynamic, interactive and layered artwork that brings together collaborations from 38 artists to mark the beginning of another tragic chapter in this continent’s history.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The artwork is a “living” artwork, whose final appearance will depend on its owner. As with other digital artworks on <a href="http://async.art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Async.art</a>, collectors control the visual state of the image, which can be changed at any time.</p>



<p>Other works were exhibited by different artists:</p>



<h2>A talk about NFT Wash Trading</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20185" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth.jpg 1600w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-nonfungible.com-booth-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><figcaption><em>Non Fungible Conference 2022 &#8211; NonFungible.com booth</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Among these sharing of reflections and feedback from experts, Zoup and I led a workshop on the theme of wash trading. Some market manipulation practices can take place to inflate the price of an asset, faking a marketplace volume or take advantage of a reward system.</p>



<p>Many talks were organized during these two days of conferences. With more than 250 speakers, the topics covered were as rich as they were varied. <a href="https://www.nonfungibleconference.com/talk-details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Evolution of NFTs in the art world</a>, growth of wearables, how NFTs are revolutionizing the art of collecting, reflection on metaverses&#8230;</p>



<p>For 45 minutes we were able to alternate between explanations from our NFT good practice guide and answers to questions to the public. Indeed, many new players want to develop their own NFT marketplace and want to know how to prevent this kind of practice.</p>



<p>While recalling that risk 0 does not exist, it is also worth remembering that wash trading schemes leave an indelible mark on the blockchain. Players operating NFT marketplaces can therefore identify wash traders through these different schemes and start a dialogue with them rather than banishing them at the risk that they will return with other more complex market manipulation schemes.</p>



<p>The most important thing is to determine *why* a wash trading takes place, it can be to receive trading-related rewards as well as pretend that a project has more activity than it seems.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party.jpg" alt="NFC 2022 ArtDAO Genesis launch party" class="wp-image-20193" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party.jpg 1600w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-Genesis-launch-party-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></figure></div>



<p>During the day, the conferences took place in several rooms&#8230; but events took place in Lisbon! The focus was on Ledger who organized parties in partnership with Playboy (of which there were commercials in the streets) or the degenerate Party party of The Sandbox.</p>



<p>But they weren&#8217;t the only ones. Another side event caught my attention, that of ArtDAO&#8217;s Genesis Launch. The evening took place near the port, in an artistic creation workshop.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art-1024x576.jpg" alt="NFC 2022 ArtDAO genesis launch physical art" class="wp-image-20195" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/NFC-2022-ArtDAO-genesis-launch-hanging-art.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Non Fungible Conference 2022 &#8211; Physical art at the ArtDAO genesis launch exhibition</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Again, several screens were plugged in when I entered the shed that housed the exhibition. In this darkness and in the middle of the flashing screens, this painting on canvas that hung from the ceiling. As a reminder of the importance of reality in the virtual world.</p>



<p>It was also, of course, a moment of relaxation thanks to the DJ and their electro set adapted to the late afternoon atmosphere. External discussions focused on the evolution of the NFT sector while being accompanied by beers and glasses of wine.</p>



<h2>A big thank YOU!</h2>



<p>The least we can say is that the event was very intense and interesting! We were obviously delighted to be able to welcome you to our stand to answer your questions, but more importantly, we were delighted to have seen how much of a reality the European dynamic around NFTs is.</p>



<p>Over the course of the discussions, we were able to see the diversity of profiles that are interested in NFTs today and are more than ever confident about the evolution that these tokens will take in the years to come.</p>



<p>To complete this article, we interviewed several key players in the ecosystem during this event:</p>



<ul><li>Gaspard de Ledger</li><li>Shaban from Everdreamsoft</li><li>Paul from FxHash</li><li>The artist Jaen</li><li>The organizer of the Non Fungible Conference: John Karp</li></ul>



<p>They shared with us their vision on the NFT ecosystem and its future that we will publish in several articles soon! To be the first one to read it, don’t forget to follow us on our different social media</p>


We were at the Non Fungible Conference 2022 which took place in Lisbon, Portugal. Here is our report of the event!

NFC 2022: Building NFT Europe with passion


<p>2021 was a turning point for NonFungible, so we decided it was time to upgrade our website to match our growing company. Hop on the tour to enjoy the best experience on our new website.</p>



<p>As you may have noticed, the website has received a proper facelift! After four years of good service, it was about time. We are now fully responsive -better late than never- and have restructured the content in a way that all makes sense.</p>

<h3>Performance map temporarily on hold</h3>



<p>For those who knew how to read it, the performance map has always been a great tool to estimate the quality of a project. With this new redesign, we decided to make this indicator understandable to a greater audience and we have refined our calculations. Soon, it will be even more accurate. Thank you for your patience.</p>

<p>We mentioned it above, and you must have noticed it last year, the market just boomed over the past year.</p>



<p>Before looking at all these figures, it is important to know that we have separated “legitimate” activities from activities that can be related to wash trading.&nbsp;</p>



<p>We have identified a global volume of nearly $ 56 billion in NFT activity over 2021, a large part of which corresponds to “unqualified” volume (no project attached to Smart Contract, wash trading, NFT as financial collateral …).</p>



<p><strong>This report is focused on the volume identified as legitimate, qualified and that can be associated with an essentially human activity.</strong></p>

<h2>2021 NFT Global market activity</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="636" height="777" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-global-stats.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 global stats" class="wp-image-17611" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-global-stats.jpg 636w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-global-stats-246x300.jpg 246w" sizes="(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px" /><figcaption>  NonFungible.com Yearly Report 2021 &#8211; Global NFT Activity</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>As we can see, there has been an explosion of NFT activity in 2021. It is interesting to note that compared to previous years, NFTs were kept for less time.</p>



<p>The total value of all NFT transactions (which includes sales and all other transactions such as “breeding”, “minting” and renting) increased from $82,492,916 in 2020 to $17,694,851,721 in 2021; an increase of 21,350% or more than 200x.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="892" height="379" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-primary-secondary-market.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 primary secondary market" class="wp-image-17609" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-primary-secondary-market.jpg 892w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-primary-secondary-market-300x127.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-primary-secondary-market-768x326.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px" /><figcaption> NonFungible.com Yearly Report 2021 &#8211; Primary vs Secondary NFT Market</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Market activity also increased significantly. The total number of active wallets making NFT transactions, including buying, selling, holding or using them in a blockchain application increased from 89,061 in 2020 to more than 2.5 million in 2021 (2,574,302); an increase of 1,822%.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The number of buyers rose from 75,144 in 2020 to 2,301,544 in 2021 (+2,962%) and the number of sellers increased from 31,774 to 1,197,796 (+3,669%).</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="750" height="590" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-active-wallets.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 active wallets" class="wp-image-17607" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-active-wallets.jpg 750w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-active-wallets-300x236.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>NonFungible.com Yearly Report 2021 &#8211; NFT buyers vs sellers vs active wallets</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Throughout this period of rapid growth there were opportunities to capitalize on the speculative nature of the market and make significant profits.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Over $5.4 billion of total profit was generated when buying or reselling NFTs with 473 wallets generating over $1 million in profits during 2021. However, with less than 2 million active wallets buying or selling an NFT over the year, the market is still yet to reach mass adoption.</p>

<h2>Focus on NFT segments</h2>



<p>For this report, each segment was analyzed under a microscope. Metaverse, Video Games, Art, Collectibles or Utility/Finance have all been the subject of dedicated focus. Meaning it is possible to see the losses and profits according to these different segments.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="897" height="378" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-art.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 cumulative profit art" class="wp-image-17605" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-art.jpg 897w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-art-300x126.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-art-768x324.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><figcaption>  NonFungible.com yearly report 2021 &#8211; NFT Art Focus  </figcaption></figure>



<p>The diagram above displays the NFT Art market but we additionally offer the different projects analyzed. Taking the example of the Collectibles segment, it appears at first glance that it was mainly the CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club collections that dominated the profit and loss indicator.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="811" height="714" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-collectible.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 cumulative profit collectible" class="wp-image-17603" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-collectible.jpg 811w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-collectible-300x264.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-cumulative-profit-collectible-768x676.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px" /><figcaption> NonFungible.com yearly report 2021 &#8211; NFT Collectible Focus </figcaption></figure></div>



<p>For the focus on Crypto Video Games, we have taken into account two other blockchains in addition to Ethereum: Immutable X for the game Gods Unchained and Ronin for Axie Infinity.</p>



<p>Most video games have ported their on-chain activity to other blockchains or a Layer 2 Ethereum solution, so these figures are to be considered lower than the actual activity of the market.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="873" height="579" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-activity-gaming.jpg" alt="NFT yearly report 2021 activity gaming" class="wp-image-17601" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-activity-gaming.jpg 873w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-activity-gaming-300x199.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-yearly-report-2021-activity-gaming-768x509.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px" /><figcaption>NonFungible.com yearly report 2021 &#8211; NFT Video Games Focus</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>You will find in the report even more indicators for metaverse or decentralized finance.</p>
