The bear market has largely impacted the NFT market. For the first time in the history of NFTs, trading-related activities are no longer profitable. Despite a complicated economic context, NFTs continue to surprise, and we observe some strong trends around Metaverses and Utilities over the period, which tends to revitalize the markets.

With speculation in a tailspin, it looks like the industry has once again entered a building phase, away from the spotlight.

A massive 25% drop was observed in terms of USD traded between Q1 and Q2 2022 with a global volume of about US$8 billion in Q2 2022.

A net profit of US$460M is recorded over Q2 2022, a significant decrease compared to Q1 2022 (US$2.3B).

Secondary market remains predominant with almost 80% of the volume of USD traded, in the meantime, primary market has constantly decreased over the period.

A 46% decrease in profit at resell is observed during the period, for a total loss that increased by 23% (US$1.8 billion profit for US$1.4 billion loss).

The market is more centralized than ever: More than 30% of the volume of USD traded over the quarter is distributed between projects that have been launched or acquired by Yuga Labs.

Quarterly NFT Market Report

The incredible enthusiasm for NFTs led to tremendous growth of the NFT industry in 2021. The early days of 2022 mark a new era for NFTs, with many changes to the market.
Are we facing a bubble on the verge of bursting? Are the NFTs markets holding up despite the tense geopolitical situation surrounding the war in Ukraine?
The Q1 Quarterly Report 2022 presents the first detailed figures on the reality of NFTs markets.
This quarter, we had the chance to interview Shaban Shaame, a pioneer of Blockchain Gaming since 2014, who shares his vision and thoughts on the state of the industry.

Collectibles are the predominant segment in the industry, far ahead of Art or even the Metaverses.

The general public seems to be losing interest in NFTs, if the search volume on Google is to be believed.

For the first time, some segments show a negative balance: Gaming shows a total loss of almost $50 million on the segment, which makes it the least profitable segment of the industry from a trading point of view.

The resale profit volume is down 3% while the total loss volume is up nearly 50% compared to the previous quarter.

Q1 Report 2022

With nearly $8 billion traded in the first quarter of 2022, the market cannot really be considered to have collapsed. We are seeing more of a form of stabilization, in line with the last quarter of 2021.
Conversely, the volume of sales fell by nearly 50%, with a very marked slowdown in the volume of buyers and sellers.
The great novelty of this quarter is undoubtedly the evolution of profitability in the markets. Making a profit in NFTs is no longer so easy in 2022...

Every year since 2018, NonFungible.com publishes “Yearly NFT Market Report” which remains to date the most in-depth and comprehensive piece of research about the NFT Industry.

These reports are designed for curious newcomers as well as experienced investors.

Collectibles is probably the segment that is running out of steam in favor of Metaverses and Blockchain Gaming.

With over $5 billion in profit recorded in NFT trading, speculation is an integral part of this market. But this is a more complex activity than it seems...

Markets gradually became saturated with the issuance of millions of new NFTs. How have the markets reacted to this unbridled multiplication of assets?

The market boomed to over $15 billion for nearly 2 million active wallets.

Yearly Report 2021

"NFT" was declared word of the year 2021. This is not surprising given the exponential growth of the industry. Between unprecedented opportunities, excessive speculation and new economic models: where are we?

The 200 pages, 70 metrics and 15 interviews of this report have been designed to give you the most complete and up-to-date overview of the different facets of the NFT industry.



Yearly NFT Market Report

Data doesn’t lie, at NonFungible we analyze it and make the complex simple and freely accessible for everyone.

Our Q3 Report looks into Non-Fungible Token trends on the Ethereum chain. We use our data to provide an in depth analysis of the market backed with charts and analytics.

Q3 of 2021 broke the $billion threshold by a long way, with almost $6 billion traded on the Ethereum blockchain alone. All indicators continue to show an upwards trend, with the number of wallets in use of both buyers and sellers increasing significantly.

Record USD volume for NFT sales

Unsurprisingly, the collectibles segment generated the most USD volume this quarter, undoubtedly stemming from PFP hype but also from the continual increase in the price of CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Market Distribution

Q3 Report 2021

The recent growth of the NFT industry has been almost unbelievable. In just a few short months, the $billion-dollar mark has been crossed in traded NFTs, followed by $billion per quarter and only then to be surpassed by $billion per month.

The market we see evolving today is a market that is growing at an exponential rate, with unprecedented liquidity but it is also even more of a speculative and volatile market than ever before.

The current market growth dictates that all investors and NFT stakeholders should pay extra attention as Triple-digit growth goes hand in hand with market instability, unrealistic expectations and potential disappointments.

Data doesn’t lie. At NonFungible we analyze it and make the complex simple and freely accessible for everyone.

The NFT Market has been in full craze mode since the start of the year. We have witnessed multi-million-dollar sales almost every week with new projects announced each day, copycats are being created from copycats.

There are numerous NFT projects, with dozens of new promising ones popping up everyday. Sometimes, because of misleading marketing campaigns or inflated market volumes, it may be complicated to truly identify what is a promising project and what is not.

You have probably read on a lot of related websites that you should “DYOR” or “Do Your Own Research” before purchasing any asset, but where should you start and what is the right criteria? This section is intended to help you drive forward your own due diligence before investing into any NFT project or purchasing an asset.

As the NFT ecosystem is already extremely broad, from Art to Gaming and Metaverses, the due diligence process is necessarily different depending on the particular asset type.

What to check before buying an NFT?

As mentioned earlier, the objective of our work in this report is to help everyone gain autonomy in their analysis of the NFT Markets, with the right tools and the necessary knowledge.

Before going into further detail in this section, we must return to the assumption which is at the origin of our research work: "There is Wash Trading in the NFT Market". In order to validate this hypothesis and to succeed in quantifying Wash Trading, it is first necessary to identify in what form this Wash Trading takes place, how to recognize it and what reasonable doubts lead us to consider this or that transaction is an illegitimate one.

Is there wash trading in NFT markets?

Good Practices guide

We have always done our best to help the NFT industry remain as healthy and transparent as possible. In recent years, we have published several articles* on the risks and abuses within the ecosystem** in an effort to raise awareness among the various stakeholders. This year, we have decided to go even further and publish a comprehensive report which covers the good practices of Due Diligence in Wash Trading.

The purpose behind this report can be divided into five objectives:<ol><li>To make the NFT world a healthier place for everyone.</li><li>Bring further transparency and honesty to the booming NFT Markets.</li><li>Reduce the volume of suspicious transactions.</li><li>Ensure the long-term sustainability of this market.</li><li>Promote individual responsibility, i.e: Do Your Own Research “DYOR”, Due Diligence, community whistleblowing etc...</li></ol>


<h2>What is Meta?</h2>



<p>Meta was first announced during Connect 2021, Facebook’s annual developer conference which discusses all things virtual reality. CEO and Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg revealed the company’s plans to rebrand the social media behemoth and start shifting its focus towards technology developments in the metaverse. What these developments would be were left vague for the most part, though Zuckerberg mentioned his desire to allow users to be able to engage more directly with the internet, rather than just viewing it on the screen.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p><em>‘Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.’</em></p><cite><a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2021/10/facebook-company-is-now-meta/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Meta’s statement following their rebranding announcement</em></a></cite></blockquote>



<p>In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/577658430179350/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">film created in conjunction with Meta’s announcement</a>, Zuckerberg highlighted his plans for what he called a ‘more connected world’. The video shared a lot of similarities with what a vast majority of metaverse enthusiasts envision for the future of Web3: An AR/VR centric universe hosted entirely online complete with avatars, virtual worlds, and a completely immersive reality.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Meta’s plan for the metaverse was <a href="https://tech.fb.com/ar-vr/2021/10/connect-2021-our-vision-for-the-metaverse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">broken down in another letter</a> that was released around the same time as the core announcement. At the time, their plans were broken down into a few core projects including developments in gaming, fitness, and what they called the ‘future of work’ which incorporated new technologies for businesses to further enable work from home.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>How’s Facebook’s Rebranding Been Going?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Despite its attempt at rebranding and efforts to shape the metaverse, Meta has been struggling. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/02/03/1077820355/facebooks-transition-to-metaverse-has-eaten-into-the-social-media-giants-profits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Web2 giant lost 26% of its market value</a>, more than $250 billion, in February of 2022. The reason? Facebook’s aging user base. With the rise of Gen Z and growing popularity of sites like TikTok, for the first time Meta is struggling to maintain users. </p>



<p><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2013/05/21/part-1-teens-and-social-media-use/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Pew Research Survey</a> of 12-17-year-olds discovered that while 94% of teens had facebook accounts back in 2012, now only 27% of teens have Facebook accounts in the US. While Zuckerberg has made it a priority for his platform to start targeting younger users, a vast majority of Gen Z teens have declared Facebook a <a href="https://www.insider.com/facebook-gen-z-teens-boomer-social-network-leaks-2021-10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘boomer social network’</a> and greatly prefer its competitors Twitter and TikTok.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Being seen as an archaic social media platform is not the only hurdle that Meta has to overcome. The company recently reached a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/23/tech/meta-settlement-facebook-location-tracking/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$37.5 million settlement</a><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/23/tech/meta-settlement-facebook-location-tracking/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in a location tracking lawsuit</a> that further damaged the website’s reputation. With users already starting to distrust the giant, the knowledge that the app was illegally tracking users did little to help the company’s reputation..&nbsp;</p>



<p>In addition to the lawsuit and losing a significant chunk of its user base, Apple has recently updated its privacy settings which has made it difficult for the company to sell targeted ads. Meta explained that this change could cost them up to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielnewman/2022/02/10/apple-meta-and-the-ten-billion-dollar-impact-of-privacy-changes/?sh=41cc09872ae7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$10 billion in lost ad revenue</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Meta, A Dystopian Nightmare?</h2>



<p>With a general distrust of Meta, and the company’s tendency to push the boundaries of the law, there are many who have spoken out against the company being allowed to build a metaverse. This includes one of its earliest investors, Roger McNamee.&nbsp;</p>



<p>&#8220;<em>It&#8217;s a bad idea and the fact we are all sitting and looking at this like it&#8217;s normal should be alarming to everyone.</em>&#8221; <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59154520" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McNamee told the BBC</a>, &#8220;<em>Facebook should not be allowed to create a dystopian metaverse.</em>”&nbsp;</p>



<p>McNamee, who went from one of Facebook&#8217;s first supporters to an open critic of the platform, cited the company’s tendency to promote misinformation and divisive rhetoric. He stated clearly that he did not believe that the metaverse would be safe in the Web2 giant’s hands.&nbsp; &#8220;<em>There&#8217;s no way that a regulator or policymaker should be allowing Facebook to operate there [in the metaverse] or get into cryptocurrencies,</em>&#8221; he said. &#8220;<em>Facebook should have lost the right to make its own choices. A regulator should be there giving pre-approval for everything they do. The amount of harm they&#8217;ve done is incalculable.</em>&#8220;</p>



<p>McNamee is far from the only person who has spoken out against Meta’s attempts to pioneer in the metaverse. <a href="https://fortune.com/2021/12/01/metaverse-facebook-meta-niantic-john-hanke-mark-zuckerberg-brainstorm-tech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Hanke, CEO of Niantic</a>, also voiced his concerns about Zuckerberg’s vision of a more digital future. Expressing that while Sci-Fi fans like Zuckerberg might be thrilled by books like <em>Snow Crash</em> by Neal Stephenson, they are missing the core message of the book.&nbsp;</p>



<p>“<em>I’m a fan of the metaverse as a work of fiction,” </em>Hanke said. <em>“But if you read all the way to the end—I’m not sure everyone who’s been talking about it has read to the end—you know the world in those books is this horrible place.</em>”&nbsp;</p>



<p>Hanke suggested that Zuckerberg’s vision of the metaverse was one that would act more as a mask for a sad reality than a seamless integration of reality and technology. His hope is that instead of attempting to escape reality, technology will be created to enhance real life experiences and make the world a better place.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Meta executives,<a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/22799665/facebook-metaverse-meta-zuckerberg-oculus-vr-ar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Andrew Bosworth and Nick Clegg responded to critics</a> by attempting to assure users that they have no desire to be the owners of the metaverse. “<em>Meta is not going to build, own, or run the metaverse on its own</em>,” they said. “<em>We are starting conversations about our vision for the metaverse early, before some of the technologies even exist&#8230; We’re discussing it now to help ensure that any terms of use, privacy controls or safety features are appropriate to the new technologies and effective in keeping people safe.</em>”</p>



<h2>Who Will Lead The Metaverse?&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Despite the desire to keep the metaverse an independent and user-driven universe, there are several tech giants who have thrown their hat into the ring hoping to dominate the sector. This includes Web2 giants like Meta as well as developers like Roblox and Unity. </p>



<p><a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/who-will-rule-the-metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maxim Manturov, head of investment advice at Freedom Finance Europe</a>, expressed his opinions on the matter. &#8220;<em>It is likely that ‘the tide will raise all boats’ and Facebook&#8217;s actions have allowed many companies to discover new products or sales channels,</em>&#8221; explains Manturov. “<em>Given that FB is a tech giant, then for smaller companies like Roblox or Unity, the metaverse creates more accelerated growth opportunities, which was momentarily reflected in the price and which is why there was such interest from investors.</em>”</p>



<p>With many companies working to get a foothold in the developing sector, it remains to be seen who will step up and take leadership roles in the industry. Though it does seem that the more mainstream the metaverse becomes, the more fortune 500 companies seem interested in developing their own version of Web3.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ultimately most would be against a dystopian future, and it&#8217;s certainly a reality many fear. As the giants of Web2 try to navigate their path into Web3, we can only hope that the original ethos behind Web3 holds true, that of trust, community, transparency and the creation of a new way for humans to interact and trade globally that has not existed before. </p>



<p>The Web3 way of thinking does not mesh well with Facebook&#8217;s reputation of surveillance and centralization and it seems likely that younger generations will naturally reject closed, corporately controlled metaverses in preference for decentralized, interoperable ones&#8230; Time will tell&#8230;</p>

Meta shared his vision and future plans for his metaverse. This raised many concerns about a possible digital dystopia.

The world was introduced to Walkers on Halloween night 11 years ago this year via AMC’s the Walking Dead.  Since February 2022, ‘Walkers’ have inhabited Web3, wreaking havoc and terrifying everyone in their quest for consumption and destruction. 

The Walking Dead NFT Universe Expands With New 3D Character Avatars


<p>The esports sector has experienced strong growth around the world during the past decade, with the sector becoming worth more than a billion dollars in 2021. One ongoing issue is the revenue that is generated by this industry suffers unfair distribution. A very large part is recovered by sponsors while gaming streamers get the smallest part of the cake and on the other hand the fan community doesn&#8217;t get anything at all.</p>



<p>Can NFTs change that? This is what Heroez wants to do by proposing a new way to create community around esports.</p>



<h2>Who is behind Heroez?</h2>



<p><a href="https://heroez.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heroez</a> wants to place players and especially their community at the center of their project. The founders come from the world of gaming and so can better identify and respond to the problems of the gamers universe. The team is composed of:</p>



<ul><li>General Manager : Remy Bompar</li><li>CMO : Loïc Bompar</li><li>Art Director : Theo Nicolas</li><li>CTO : Nicolas Senecal</li><li>COO : Black Sheep</li></ul>



<p>To be able to support them in this project, Heroez made several partnerships with The Sandbox, Polygon Studio and Gamerhash, to provide external advice with a team of eight advisors who will also be present.</p>



<h2>What is the Heroez Project?</h2>



<p>The project was born in June 2022 and has several objectives. The first of these is to decentralize the governance of esports teams through a collection of 3000 NFTs. These NFTs will make it possible to vote on the choices that relate to the strategies and direction the team will take in the future. Because that&#8217;s the first thing Heroez is all about: <a href="https://heroez.notion.site/heroez/Heroez-reshaping-esport-with-a-web3-native-club-81c4f86484d14f21948f6793b2308903" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">federating esports teams under the banner of &#8220;Web3&#8221;</a>, all with a governance that is looking to be as horizontal as possible.</p>



<p>One of Heroez&#8217;s other goals is to highlight the value that fans represent. To allow this synergy between players and fans, a DAO will be created to allow NFT holders to organize themselves and propose governance choices.</p>



<p>In a community-based way, <a href="https://heroez.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heroez</a> seeks to create a new form of esports team management that is more respectful of fan opinion while removing unnecessary fees and trusted third parties.</p>



<h2>Benefits of Heroez NFTs</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="498" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/09/heroez-NFT-lightsaber.jpg" alt="heroez NFT lightsaber" class="wp-image-67165" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/09/heroez-NFT-lightsaber.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/09/heroez-NFT-lightsaber-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/09/heroez-NFT-lightsaber-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>Heroez NFTs will have the primary purpose of creating a link between players and fans but they will also allow owners to obtain other benefits. Here is a small non-exhaustive list:</p>



<ul><li>Exclusive commercial rights on the assets.</li><li>Access to Heroez physical and metaverse gaming house, and to esport centers worldwide thanks to exclusive partnerships.</li><li>Be eligible for airdrops as per the roadmap.</li><li>Walk around in the metaverse thanks to the 3D assets.</li><li>Access private events all around the globe.</li></ul>



<p>Far from being limited to the virtual universe, many advantages will therefore be reserved for holders in the real world too. The fact that the commercial rights of the assets accrue to the holders of NFTs will allow them greater freedom if they want to develop their own brand in the future.</p>



<h2>The next steps for Heroez</h2>



<p>First of all, the first step to watch out for will be the mint that will take place on September 27th 2022. This collection will be the cornerstone of the rest of the project and the first decision will be submitted to the DAO very soon after the mint. This decision will concern the first game on which Heroez teams will play.</p>



<p>Here are the next steps of the project :&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Recruitment of players on the chosen game(s)</li><li>Search for sponsors</li><li>Participation in the first tournaments/scrims</li><li>Constitution of the DAO Councils</li><li>Implementation of a payment system in Fiat to prepare for wave 2 and to welcome the communities of our future players.</li><li>Developing the Sandbox Experience</li><li>Development of the Merch Heroez with our partnership with Fulllife</li></ul>



<p>Otherwise, several partnerships have already been made with the biggest gaming projects in the web3 industry. The innovation that Heroez wants to bring to the world of esports is ambitious but far from impossible given the skills of the founders.</p>

<p><strong>For creators</strong>, Unlock provides simplicity. Unlock gives them a JavaScript snippet which lets creators embed locks on their own websites that restrict access to people who have the right key. A lock is just an “access control list”: the list of consumers who are allowed to access their creation (because they own a key). It makes adding a membership layer to your website, or even to a single article, just as easy as embedding an ad.</p>
<p><strong>For users</strong>, Unlock provides consistency. Up until now, subscriptions have been totally chaotic, with hundreds of different approaches, requiring you to keep a collection of accounts — and passwords! — to access all the things you care about. There’s no intelligent way to connect them together, unless you’re the platform that controls the network. The blockchain allows Unlock and creators to know only who has access to what, and nothing more.</p>

<p>Skullys are reward-based digital collectibles featuring uniquely designed ghost pirate skulls on the Ethereum blockchain. Collect your favorite Skully and embark on a hunt for the loot. The location-based service (LBS) game allows players the ability to perform geo-flagging tasks to earn booty in the form of PO8 tokens. PO8 tokens can be redeemed for additional game accessories to unlock new powers, increasing the earning potential of each individual Skully. Geo-flagging is a feature allowing players to use real-time geo-data from a mobile device or computer to &#8220;check in&#8221; at various locations such as restaurants, coffee shops, stores, concerts, or anywhere on the go. Players are allowed a minimum of 3 times per day to geo-flag, and each flag pin must occur outside a 800m radius from the latest pin. The higher in ranking the Skullys moves up, the more geo-flagging opportunities will be available within a wider geographic area.</p>
