OpenSea Has Delisted Several Azuki Non-fungible Tokens The NFT prominent characters, Azuki, have ended the week on a bad term as OpenSea has reportedly delisted several of their collectibles today. The reason is yet to be confirmed since users can no longer partake in token sales from the marketplace. According to a statement from their official discord, the crypto-based organization announced that they have reached out to OpenSea on the issue concerning delisting emails sent to Azuki holders. Azuki users should be patient as the management waits for a response to relist the digital assets. As we advance, the substantial case in hand is the same as that one that occurred to Bored Ape Yacht Club. BAYC also faced the same issue in June when the company apologized to their holders.

Metaverse graphics aim for community and accessibility — Not realism Some may argue that the Metaverse has been around for years, as demonstrated by early gaming platforms, yet virtual ecosystems are now being embraced by almost every industry. A recent report from consulting firm McKinsey & Company believes that the Metaverse has the potential to generate at least $5 billion in value by 2030. There is still the perception that most metaverse platforms are lacking when it comes to graphic quality. For example, Mark Zuckerberg was recently criticized for posting a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower within Meta. Although Meta has already invested over $10 billion into building its metaverse, some have pointed out that Meta’s current graphics are lower quality than images that appeared in Second Life in 2007.

Apple's imposition of its app tax on NFT sales is abusive Apple collects "up to 30% of the transaction": the app tax even exceeds 30% under certain circumstances, plus developers are increasingly forced to pay for Search Ads as Apple places ads even on individual app pages. Let's leave that for another day. All that matters here is that as long as NFT businesses are legal. Apple's impact on wide swaths of the economy becomes clearer every day. In the summer, venture investor Alex Gurevich said Apple's App Tracking Transparency might deserve as much blame for a recession as inflation as all sorts of businesses now face much higher customer acquisition costs. On Tuesday, I criticized Apple's dictate of currency conversion rates because it contributes to eurozone inflation. Compared to those macroeconomic issues, the impact of Apple's App Store tax on NFT startups is of limited--but definitely non-negligible--relevance. Source Join Now ⤵️ @NftsDeFiNews

Many NFT projects lack adequate smart contract testing, says nameless founder Jimmy McNelis, the founder of Web3 tech firm nameless, says there are too many nonfungible token (NFT) projects rushing to market without proper smart contract testing — potentially leading to millions lost. Speaking with Cointelegraph, McNelis suggested that a lot of NFT projects often rush to market without fully simulating how their smart contracts will work, in some cases even skipping extensive audits. McNelis said an example of this was observed during the sale of the Akutars NFT collection in February 2021 — featuring 15,000 tokens that went up for sale on Winklevoss-owned NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway. McNelis explained that while projects can use public test nets to conduct trials for networks like Ethereum, many don’t as it could open the door for copycat scam projects. He also says that some don't want to test in public environments due to the lack of confidentiality. Source Join Now ⤵️ @NftsDeFiNews

Türkiye going through metaverse winter Türkiye is living a “metaverse winter” as the thrill of buying lands on the metaverse has passed, experts have said. “Those who saw the metaverse as an investment tool and were affected by the rapid depreciation of the market lost their faith in it,” said Levent Eraslan, the head of the Social Media and Digital Security Research Center (SODİMER). There has been a decline in interest in the concept of a metaverse in Türkiye in recent months, according to Eraslan. The expert stated that Metaverse offers a market opportunity that cannot be ignored with the potential to generate a value of up to $5 trillion by 2030. The reduction of the concept of metaverse to environments where we connect with virtual reality glasses or to land purchase and sale transactions in the metaverse world leads to alienation from the concept, according to Eraslan.
