There’s a lot of talk at the moment of NFTs – Non Fungible Tokens. NFTs are a crypto or web3 technology that can be thought of as a “primitive”.

An NFT is non fungible – meaning that one is distinct from any other and cannot be readily substituted. A real world analogy might be a rare coin that ..read more

You can now give generative Wapuus a custom name. It’s both a fun new feature and it gives us the opportunity to experiment in a couple of ways. First, we were able to limit this ability to our POAP holders. As part of the NFT Wapuu launch, we dropped a special collectors pin/badge to holders that purchased in the first 72 hours. It was a way to say thank you. By whitelisting the “OG Collector” badge holders, we are able to show one of the benefits of using POAPs for an event. Secondly, the Naming app actually allows us to write directly to the blockchain. This functionality shows how much fle ..read more

Wallets Before you can enter the wide world of Web3 applications you need to install a wallet application that is Web3 compatible.
