Like ERC-721 standard in Ethereum ecosystem, this pallet provides the basement for creating collections of unique non-divisible things, also called Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs), minting NFT of a given Collection, and managing their ownership. + +The pallet also enables storing NFT properties. Though (according to ERC-721) NFT properties belong to logic of a concrete application that operates a Collection, so purposefully the NFT Tracking Module does not have any knowledge about properties except their byte size leaving application logic out to be controller by Smart Contracts. + +The NFT Chain also provides: + +* Smart Contracts Pallet and example smart contract that interacts with NFT Runtime +* ERC-1155 Functionality (currently PoC as Re-Fungible tokens) +* Variety of economic options for dapp producers to choose from to create freemium games and other ways to attract users +* Solutions that allow non-blockchain developers to quickly deploy dApps for mass markets +* Interoperability that allows reaching much bigger audiences +* Scalability on par with non-blockhcain solutions + +## Kusama Hachaphon Update + +During the Kusama Hackaphon the following changes were made: +* Enabled Smart Contracts Pallet +* Enabled integration between Smart Contracts and NFT Pallet (required special edition of RC4 Substrate version) +* Fixed misc. bugs in NFT Pallet +* Deployed NFT TestNet. Public node available at wss://unique.usetech.com, custom UI types - see below in this README. +* New Features: + * Re-Fungible Token Mode + * Off-Chain Schema to store token image URLs + * Alternative economic model + * White Lists and Public Mint Permission +* Use example: [SubstraPunks Game](https://github.com/usetech-llc/substrapunks), fully hosted on IPFS and NFT Testnet Blockchain. + ## Application Development If you are building an application that operates NFT tokens, use [this document](doc/application_development.md). -- gitstuff
