​🖼 Croatia launches platform for investment in pig NFTs

Croatian
companies Agroporc, Beyondi, and Block Be have unveiled GoAgro, a platform offering investors an avenue to engage in swine farming by acquiring Pig NFTs. The companies introduced the GoAgro platform during a recent press event. This website allows citizens to participate in the so-called future of food production in Croatia. The flagship project on GoAgro is named “My Digital Pig.”. The recent development is one of recent dabbles into NFTs by prominent entities. On GoAgro, investors can create and own digital pigs. These virtual livestock enable crypto proponents and aspiring farmers to enter the agricultural scene without the necessity of wearing traditional farm attire and engaging in physical farming activities. Every NFT requires a minimum investment of 250 euros and ensures a return of 100 kilograms of pork. The transition from a digital pig to a physical one spans 900 days, with the pig “maturing” at an annual growth rate of 3%. Crucially, investors can exchange or keep their Pig NFTs as long-term investments. They can also engage in trading these digital assets.

​🖼 Fidenza creator raises $17M in 30 minutes for new NFT project – The Defiant

These passes will allow holders to create custom NFTs using the QQL algorithm, which has been available to the public for some time now. The QQL hoard has seen strong action on secondary markets, pushing it to number two on OpenSea’s leaderboard with a trading volume of over 3,300 ETH ($4.5M). The minimum collection price is 20 ETH, which is up almost 50% in just two days. Hobbs’ inaugural Fidenza Collection remains one of the most popular generic NFT projects. During the Art Blox boom of 2021, a rare NFT from the collection, nicknamed ‘The Tulip’, sold for 1000 ETH ($3.3 million at the time). CryptoPunks have long been considered the ‘original’ profile picture (PFP) NFT. Given away for free in 2017 by creators Larva Labs, Punks really came into their own in the NFT bull run of 2021 and inspired later projects like the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). One of only 24 ape punks in the collection, CryptoPunk #2924 changed hands for 3,300 ETH ($4.45 million) on September 28.

Friend.tech first came out kicking in early August, debuting on Coinbase’s layer-2 Base platform.

It allows traditional and crypto-based influencers to sell “keys” that are directly linked to their X (formerly Twitter) profile, which allows fans/supporters to message them privately.

By the end of the month, Coinbase’s payments risk manager Lisandro Rodrigues expressed his belief that Friend.tech was “dead” due to “greed and poor execution,” referencing the sharp decrease in the buyers and sellers.

Since as early as September 8, Friend.Tech has experienced an increase in its daily trading volume – $12.3 million, according to data from Dune Analytics.

This marks the platform’s third-highest trading volume to date, surpassing OpenSea by more than $3 million.

​🖼 Nouns Fork: Disgruntled NFT Holders Exit With $27 Million From Treasury

The
community of NFT holders in prominent Ethereum collection Nouns fractured into two late Friday when a proposed fork from the project was completed. Holders of more than half of all Nouns NFTs opted to leave—and collectively withdrew over $27 million worth of ETH from the project treasury in the process. The owners of 472 total Nouns NFTs—out of 846 in total, or almost 56% of the collection—joined the fork, and took almost 16,757 ETH ($27.3 million worth at present) with them from the current Nouns DAO treasury into a new DAO organization. A DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization, is an online group with tokenized membership and shared goals. Ultimately, the amount of Ethereum leaving the treasury divides down to approximately 35.5 ETH per NFT, or about $57,850. As a result of the fork, the owners’ original NFTs will be returned to the DAO treasury and each holder will be issued a replacement NFT with identical artwork for the new DAO. The new DAO will let holders “ragequit” and take their share of the treasury—that 35.5 ETH per NFT—and forfeit their profile picture (PFP) for good. The move signals a lack of confidence from many who bought into the current Nouns DAO format, which has seen millions of dollars worth of ETH spent since the project’s debut in 2021 to fund an array of Nouns-themed projects.

Additionally, Cool Cats will also be unveiling a curated collection of limited-edition merchandise that will be available at 11 Macy’s flagship stores and online at macys.com. The merchandise collection includes a plush the Blue Cat character and a vinyl collectible.
