⚡️ Sotheby’s 3AC Bankruptcy Auction Nets $11 Million In What Might Be Final Hurrah for NFTs
After the founders of a crypto firm called Three Arrows Capital purchased a coveted Dmitri Cherniak NFT for $5.8 million in August 2021, they kept a printed version of the digital artwork in their Singapore offices — behind the billiards table and slightly left of the coffee creamer. That carefree attitude appeared to have extended to the doomed hedge fund’s portfolio, as the world realized last year when Three Arrows Capital declared bankruptcy and its founders. On Thursday evening, some 40 digital artworks were offered in the second part of Sotheby’s “Grails” sale, dedicated to works owned by 3AC. Thursday’s sale ultimately raised just under $11 million with buyers’ fees, more than double the sale’s high estimate of $4.8 million. The centerpiece of the auction was Cherniak’s prized artwork, “Ringers #879 (The Goose),” now displayed on a proper gallery wall instead of a countertop beside the Nespresso machine. The generative artwork, which seems to defy the randomized logic of its algorithm by resembling a bird, sold for $6.2 million after nearly 10 minutes of lively bidding to 6529 NFT fund, which belongs to punk6529, a frequent buyer of blue-chip NFTs who hides his identity behind a Twitter handle.

Metaverse to help tackle global warming: Study
A recent study suggests that the metaverse, a virtual 3D environment where the physical and digital worlds merge, has the potential to contribute to the reduction of global surface temperatures by up to 0.02 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. Published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, the study highlights the metaverse's ability to lower greenhouse gas emissions, decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration.
The study emphasizes the potential benefits of metaverse-based remote working, distance learning, and virtual tourism in improving air quality.

🖼 NFT Platform iBox Fined 400,000 RMB for Violating China's Anti-Unfair Competition Law
Hainan Chain Box Technology Co., Ltd, a company associated with the popular Chinese NFT (digital collectible) platform iBox.art, has recently faced a penalty of 400,000 RMB for violating China's Anti-Unfair Competition Law. The law aims to ensure fairness in business promotions, stating that the maximum value of a top prize in a lottery-style sales event should not exceed 50,000 RMB. During two promotional campaigns, Hainan Chain Box Technology Co., Ltd disregarded this regulation by offering extravagant prizes. The company's actions have come under scrutiny following user complaints about iBox.art abruptly shut down the digital collectible resale market without obtaining user consent. This move effectively blocked transactions involving collectible items. China has been closely monitoring NFTs and digital collectibles due to the potential risks involved. The Supreme People's Procuratorate of China, the country's leading legal agency, recently issued warnings about the dangers of NFTs, emphasizing the need for new legislation to govern this emerging asset class. The agency highlighted that NFTs share characteristics with virtual properties and urged caution in their trading.

🖼 Foundation claims to fix 'self-destruct' feature that could have wiped out its NFTs
NFT platform Foundation claims to have fixed issues concerning a self-destruct function that theoretically could have been used to wipe out all NFTs minted through its platform. "This has been fixed for contracts deployed before 3/6," said Foundation co-founder and CTO Elpizo Choi on Twitter. "Contracts deployed after 3/6 were already safe - the owner of the implementation contract was set to 0, and the contract could not have been self destructed." All NFT collections on Foundation are minted using a single deployer contract and employ a "forwarder proxy," a design feature intended to reduce transaction fees during contract deployments. This itself isn’t concerning — it’s the fact the contract contained a “self-destruct” function that posed a severe threat to all collections minted on the platform. This feature was originally meant to allow creators to destroy (or burn) their own collections if needed but it posed a risk to any NFT created with it. The concern was that, should a hacker gain control of these two keys, they could hold all the NFTs for ransom or destroy them entirely.

🖼 NFL Rivals Scores 1M Downloads for NFT-Based Mobile Game
NFL Rivals, a free-to-play game from Mythical Games, has managed to score over a million downloads despite debuting amidst a harsh crypto environment and in the off-season of the NFL itself. Debuting on April 26 in the Google Play and Apple Stores, the game was met with early enthusiasm, rising to the top spot in the App Store, which Mythical Games CEO John Linden captured on Twitter at the time. “We're sitting at a 4.8 out of five on [the App Store] with nearly 22,000 reviews, which is great.”. Other stats shared with CoinDesk by Mythical Games noted that NFL Rivals has seen nearly 15 million matches played and that on average, players have six gaming sessions per day, showing the stickiness of the experience. The fact that the player cards are NFTs is “behind the scenes” for most players, Linden noted, who are able to play the game without purchasing any NFTs. “Every player gets a wallet in the game, and then most of them probably don't know it's a wallet until they want to start interacting with the marketplace to buy, sell or trade.” The NFTs in the game are player cards used to build out teams and compete in the game. Each player card has different rarity levels from common to legendary and are assigned different strengths and weaknesses.
