Welcome to the exciting world of WAX and NFTs! If you’re just getting started with digital collectibles and blockchain communities, you may have come across some terms and been left with some questions. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
First, let’s define these terms. WAX, or the Worldwide Asset eXchange, is a decentralized blockchain purpose-built for buying, selling and trading virtual assets. This includes everything from in-game items to virtual real estate and collectible items. NFT, or non-fungible token is a type of crypto token that represents ownership of a unique digital asset. Use cases for NFTs are endless.
Here are some examples of established Community Terms:
So, what makes WAX and NFTs special?
One of the main benefits of using the WAX blockchain is its speed, scalability and low fees. Transactions on the WAX blockchain can be completed in just seconds, making it a popular choice for all kinds of projects that require fast processing times. Additionally, the WAX blockchain can handle a high volume of transactions, making it a suitable solution for reaching mass adoption.
WAX is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. One way that WAX achieves this is through its use of proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, which allows the blockchain to operate in a more energy-efficient manner compared to traditional proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain networks.
As for WAX NFTs, they offer a level of authenticity and ownership that is not possible with traditional digital assets that you can find in games like Fortnite, World of Warcraft or Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds. When you purchase an NFT, you are buying a unique and verified digital item that cannot be replicated or counterfeited. This is especially valuable for collectors of rare and one-of-a-kind collectibles.
But WAX and NFTs are not just for collectors and enthusiasts. They have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries, including the gaming industry. NFTs could be used to represent in-game items that can be bought, sold, and traded on the WAX Blockchain. This would allow gamers to own their virtual items and trade them for real value, rather than just being able to use them within a specific game. This could also lead to the creation of entirely new business models for game developers, such as allowing players to buy and sell virtual real estate or in-game currency.
So, how do you get started with WAX and NFTs? The first step is to set up a digital wallet that supports WAX and NFTs. There are several options available, including the WAX Wallet. Once you have your wallet set up, you can start buying, selling and trading WAX NFTs and FTs.
