18 | *true = one could reproduce the asset or artwork solely from the data on the chain, hash = proof without reproducibility, IPFS = image exists off-chain, false = nothing on chain at all | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | **Literally "non-fungible token" = A token to something that is unique and non-divisible | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | ***The lay, "collectible" definition of NFT is stricter in the sense of connoting a work of art or collectible and LESS strict in terms of non-fungibility. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | SFT=Semi-fungible token. Multiple but limited, non-divisible copies of each type of token. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Monegraph was a structured text standard for putting artwork on Namecoin and not a "collection" by the creator. i.e. Anyone can submit a new Monegraph-formatted entry to Namecoin at any time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Purposefully excluded | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | Generic NMC names | 2011 | Expiring, infinite supply, not a tokenization, not a collectible/art | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Punycodes Blockheads Twitter Eggs (i.e. NMC "collections") | 2011-2015 | With the exception of Monegraph, all Namecoin "collections" were created in 2021+ by re-registering and grouping similar NMC domains together and marketing them under brand names. For example, Punycoding is a long-established method of representing Unicode (emoji, Chinese chars, etc) as ASCII and was used as a technical workaround for NMC domains which only allow ASCII. These are now grouped together retroactively as "Punycodes", though no such "collection" existed at the time. Blockheads, Twitter Eggs and several other "collections" were the result of people signing up for OneName which saved Twitter profile pics in Namecoin records. Most of these profile pics were of random users' faces and are ignored, but some were the default icon (a Twitter egg) and others were popular generative profile pics of the time (Blockheads, Comicons, etc). Again, these similar domains have been grouped together retroactively for marketing purposes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | MYSOUL | 2014 | MYSOUL was an explicit, well-documented cryptoart experiment of 100 nondivisible tokens on Counterparty. Unfortunately the coin is not yet locked (supply is de facto centralized), disqualifying it from appearing in the table above. I've reached out to Rhea Myers to inquire about its lockability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28 | Single unit CP tkns THING, OLGA, etc | 2014 | Not tokenization of anything specific, not a collectible/art, low effort, not part of larger purpose/project. Retroactive art assignment in 2021, in most cases. Also, fungibility is a comparison adjective like "tall" or "short". A single token, by itself and not within a collection, is neither fungible nor non-fungible. It's just a single token. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
29 | Huntercoin | 2014 | An blockchain game on its own chain that was ultimately taken over by bots and disused. Players could posses in-game items, but ownership was ephemeral. It did have a 2D game map which could be considered the first blockchain virtual world, though none of the "land" was ownable/tradable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | Rhea Myers' MYSOUL | 2014 | Explicitly "art", but more like an ERC-20 (100 units) than NFT (Counterparty and Dogeparty) since there aren't any other "cards" in the set. (This is so functionally similar to SoG that I'm not sure this won't make it into the chart above at some point.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Rhea Myers' Eth Art Market | 2014 | An NFT crypto art market deployed to Ethereum test nets before launch. Never deployed to mainnet due to security fears: https://twitter.com/rheaplex/status/1442922823253590018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | Bitchcoin | 2015 | Fungible and centralized, real-world fractional art-buying, standalone, ERC-20-like alt-chain | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
33 | TerraNullius | 2015 | Not tradable. Infinite supply. Not an NFT. A 2021 composition (not a wrapper) with an artificial supply of 4k appeared on OpenSea and was promoted by several "NFT Archeologist" influencers as "First NFT!!!" in fall 2021. It isn't. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
