To bring NFTs to the general public, several requirements may be necessary. Ed Prinz says:
- Increased awareness: Many people are still not familiar with NFTs and how they work. Educating the public on the benefits and potential uses of NFTs could help increase adoption.
- Simplified user experience: The current process of buying and selling NFTs can be confusing and intimidating for many users. Simplifying the process and making it more user-friendly could make NFTs more accessible to the general public.
- Lower transaction fees: High transaction fees associated with NFTs can discourage some users from participating in the market. Lowering these fees could make NFTs more attractive to a broader audience.
- Integration with existing platforms: Integrating NFTs into existing platforms that are already popular among the general public could help increase adoption. For example, integrating NFTs with social media platforms or online marketplaces could help bring them to a wider audience.
- Increased utility: NFTs need to offer more utility beyond just being a digital collectible. Finding new use cases and ways to apply NFT technology could help make them more appealing to the general public.
Ed Prinz: “What we focus on as loob.io is:
- Education and awareness: Many people may not yet understand what NFTs are and how they work, so there may need to be more education and awareness campaigns to help people understand the potential benefits and use cases of NFTs.
- User-friendly platforms: NFT marketplaces and other platforms may need to be more user-friendly and accessible to a wider audience, with clear instructions and intuitive interfaces.
- Lower transaction fees: Currently, the transaction fees for buying and selling NFTs can be quite high, which may deter some potential users. Lowering these fees could make NFTs more accessible to a broader audience.
- Increased security: As with any digital asset, security is a concern for NFTs. To gain the trust of the general public, NFT platforms and marketplaces may need to improve their security measures to prevent hacks, theft, and other security breaches.
- Integration with mainstream industries: NFTs may need to become more integrated with mainstream industries, such as gaming, art, and music, to increase their visibility and appeal to a wider audience. This could involve partnerships with existing companies or the development of new platforms that are more integrated with these industries.
