The utilization and transactions of "NFT" are expanding.It can also be regarded as 2021 as "NFT first year".In the most recent cases, there is a Pacific League Marketing entering the Pacific League Marketing, which is jointly invested by Mercari and six professional baseball Pa League teams.It will be sold in limited quantities as a NFT video content, such as the scene of the game video.
The NFT business of the sports team is one of the new relationships with fans, as the reality of the new Corona has decreased.
By the way, I have used the word "NFT" without any explanation, but how many people can explain properly when asked "What is NFT?"
NFT is an acronym for "Non-Fungible Token".Since Fungible means "alternative", NFT refers to "uniform tokens (signs, meaning, etc.)".
For example, cryptocien (virtual currency) such as bitcoin is an alternative token.This is because the value of the 1 -bit coin that Mr. A has and the 1 -bit coin that B has is the same.
On the other hand, in the case of NFT, the same blockchain technology as the encryption assets is used, but individual identification signs are recorded in the blockchain.As a result, Mr. A's NFT and B's NFT are "unique and unique data", respectively.NFT is a "only one digital asset in the world" that cannot be copied or replaced.
It may still be moody, but the NFT market is expanding rapidly, and it will not be possible to "know well" soon.However, even if you search on the Internet, information on cobblestones is flooded, and you do not know what to believe and from where to come from.
In such a case, "NFT Textbook" (Asahi Shimbun Publishing) is useful.From the startup CEOs at the forefront of the NFT business to the bright lawyers and accountants in the industry, 28 writers related to NFT explain the current status and potential and issues from various fields such as business, technologies, laws.are doing.
NFT is also called "distribution revolution" and "innovation of intangible assets" of content and rights.The number of "marketplace", which can trade NFT, has increased rapidly, and the number of companies and individuals that issue and sell NFTs has increased.In addition to the sports industry mentioned at the beginning, it is expanding in various fields such as games, art, and music.
One of the reasons why NFT gathered at a stretch is that the NFT of the digital art work "Everydays -The First 5000 Days" is awarded for about 7.53 billion yen in the auction.Therefore, only speculative aspects tend to pay attention, but that is not the only possibility of NFT.
In the art industry, there is an NFT marketplace where personal artists publish and sell NFT."Nanakusa" is one of them, limited to officially certified artists and partner businesses that have passed the screening, and have high quality NFT art.It is said that creators are developing content to the world, such as developing galleries in metavers (virtual three -dimensional space on the net).
The potential of NFT in these metaharas is great.This is because you can trade land, real estate, music, art, fashion, event tickets, etc. in metaverse as NFT.
For example, in one of the metaberth, "Cryptovoxels", users can edit the space as desired in the land in the meta spring, or decorate the owned NFT art.Events are also held, and you can rent land for events.
It is easy to create land, buildings, clothing, etc. in a digital space, but it must be owned as your own, or to make it NFT to trade at a price.Digital content can be copied as much as you want.
Thanks to NFT technology, lending and borrowing in metaverse is carried out, people who ask for the production of galleries that display the collection, creators who undertake it, and the avatar fashion market is born.The economy began to turn around in the metabers.Related markets still have room to spread.
However, there are also issues.One of them is that legislation has not caught up.For example, in the current law, digital data such as NFT, that is, "no owned", does not generate "ownership".Japan has a lot of content that goes well with the NFT market, but it is necessary to maintain it quickly to protect and use them effectively.
The coin check technologies CTO Atsushi Yomikata gives the following four main tasks.
(1) Management of NFT image data (what to do when the storage service that manages NFT images can no longer be used due to any effect) (2) Transaction scaling problem (increased commissions due to increased transactions, etc.) (3) Compatibility problem between NFT Market Place (4) Consideration for environmental issues
(4) will be an urgent issue with increasing interest in ESG investment and SDGs.In March of last year, Tesla, a US EV manufacturer, made it possible to pay EVs by bitcoin, but stopped in about two months.The calculation work called mining consumed a large amount of power, resulting in an increase in CO2 emissions.
According to the NFT textbook, the annual bitcoin -estimated power consumption is equivalent to the 34th place in the United Arab Emirates in terms of power consumed by the government.In response to the issue that increases the amount of transactions, the more sensitive creators and users have raised concerns about the problem of environmental issues.Technical development is progressing, but further innovation is required.
Even though there are issues, the possibilities of NFT are not narrowed.Rather, I guess NFT -related markets, including development investment in technology solving problems, will grow.
The NFT is trying to create a new "economic zone" called a virtual world.Combined with the evolution of metavers and communication technology, there is no doubt that the fusion of reality and virtual world will accelerate in the future.

Comment
The boom of NFT seems to be increasingly excited, including being nominated for the 2021 U -Can New Language Awards.Last Christmas, "MERRY CHRISTMAS MR" composed by musician Ryuichi Sakamoto.The NFT of the "sound" that made up "Lawrence" was sold and became a hot topic.595 sounds in the songs were sold for 10,000 yen per sound, and the number of applicants was flooded as the server went down.In this "Battle Meri NFT", up to 595 people will own one song, but that would create a new type of community via NFT.The band of "NFT Textbooks" states that "the" revolution "has begun since the Internet, but the spread of NFT, which is 180 degrees different from the Internet, which is characterized by anonymity, is communication.It may be a trigger to change.
