Charged Particles have released a new token standard for NFTs, called ERC721i.
The new token standard allows creators to pre-mint their projects for a very low cost, allowing them to interact with their NFTs on-chain before releasing them to the public.
ERC721i NFTs can hold other NFTs and fungible tokens inside them.
ERC721i affords creators the ability to let people choose which NFT to buy, rather than getting a random one at mint.
The new standard does not impact the cost of purchase for first time buyers, minting is simply replaced by transferring.
Polygon has launched the first roll up with EVM-equivalence.
EVM-equivalence differs from the more well known EVM compatibility in that it is significantly easier to deploy a dApp on an EVM-equivalent chain than an EVM-compatible chain.
A dApp which exists on Ethereum’s mainnet can port over to an EVM-equivalent chain with no changes to the underlying code.
The Ethereum based layer 2 solution aspires to be the first zk proof-based scaling solution for EVM smart contracts available in a live production environment upon its mainnet launch.
