Unpacking NFT Gen 2 from SIX Network

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to “NFT Gen 2 Guide” We’re excited to explore the developments in the evolving world of NFTs with you. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at NFT Gen 2 from SIX Network.

NFTs have taken the art, collectibles, and gaming worlds by storm, offering a new way to buy, sell and trade unique digital assets. From art to exclusive in-game items, NFTs provide a way to own and verify ownership of digital assets.

NFT Gen 2 is the next step in the evolution of NFTs, bringing new features and capabilities that make it even easier to use and interact with NFT users for businesses. In this guide, we’ll dive deeply into NFT Gen 2 and explore what sets it apart from other NFTs. We’ll also provide an overview and the benefits of using NFT Gen 2. So let’s get started!

What is NFT?

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are types of digital assets that are created using blockchain technology. They are unique, immutable, non-interchangeable, and traceable.

NFTs can represent many things, including images, music, videos, gifs, and even physical products. They have many use cases, such as serving as fundraising tools, event tickets, exclusive merchandise, loyalty point programs, and more. NFTs are versatile and can be used in many ways to represent valuable and unique items.

What is NFT Gen 2?

NFT Gen 2 is a new project from Six Network that offers more adaptable NFT and is helpful for everyone who wants to add value to their’s businesses. NFT Gen 2 is built on Dynamic Data Layer that runs on SIX Protocol, enabling NFTs to match business needs.

The story behind NFT Gen 2

NFT Gen 2 was developed when people were excited about NFTs. SIX Network wanted to make NFTs more valuable in business, so we thought about how it could be used in real-life.

Previously, some projects offered NFT Utilities such as free rewards, but these utilities were not easy to use. For example, if a project owner wants to offer rewards like free hamburgers, NFT holders have to physically show the NFT at the counter. Then, the employee manually records that rewards have been redeemed.

Many owners offer utilities that are linked to NFTs, but the process of redeeming is inconvenient because the NFTs are stored on the blockchain while utilities are not. So, SIX Network aims to make this process easier. For example, with NFT Gen 2, Holders can show an NFT and simply scan a QR code to redeem a reward, without the need for manual record-keeping or verification. So, the process is more efficient and secure.

Core features

1. Marking Usage Value

The business can embed the use case and redeemable inventory for the users to obtain their rights.

2. Point System

Dynamic Metadata allows the NFT to collect the point and work as a membership or CRM tool for the users and brands.

3. Proof of Attendance

Users can use the NFT as a Proof of Attendance concept as a fraud-free ticket to attend the events or complete the quest and journey.

4. Mergeable Attribute

Once the users have completed their task or quest, the attribute of NFT can be merged with new attributes.

5. Transformable NFT

Dynamic Metadata allows the collection owner to change the artwork on NFT. The business can create a business case related to artwork transformation and its attributes to create uniqueness as a symbol of use.

6. Delegating Gas Fee

Via fee delegation address, users can process any NFT transaction without having to prepare for a gas fee which will be provided by either the business or the collection owner.

Who is behind NFT Gen2?

NFT Gen 2 was developed by Six Network, a leading blockchain, and decentralized financial company. They are backed by FSN, a group of over 10 public companies in South Korea.

SIX Network was founded in 2018 with the goal of using blockchain technology to expand business opportunities. They offer services for businesses to easily store, exchange, buy, and transfer digital assets such as cryptocurrency and NFTs.

NFT Gen 2 is run on Six Protocol, a blockchain infrastructure layer built to help businesses migrate their assets into the blockchain by issuing their tokens, including cryptocurrency and NFT, to the destination chain.

How does the NFT Gen 2 work?

To understand how NFT Gen 2 works, it is necessary to understand the basics of NFT functions.

NFT is a digital asset that is created and stores the data on Blockchain. For example, a human portrait NFT might consist of various attributes, or traits, such as eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, which come together to form the NFT portrait.

In general, once NFT was created, it consists of traits as metadata on the blockchain that cannot be changed. The image and all the traits will remain the same forever, as it is permanently recorded on the blockchain.

SIX Network wants to overcome the limitations of NFT. Therefore, They created NFT Gen 2 which builds upon the concept of “adaptable NFT” by allowing the NFTs to be modified and breaking the limitation of normal NFTs being fixed and unchanging.

So, NFT Gen 2 works as follows:

Let’s say we have a human portrait NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, the NFT metadata is on Ethereum, and the picture can’t be changed. But, If we want to modify an NFT, such as adding a hat, we can use NFT Gen 2 to create a hat and link it to the “hat trait” on the Six Protocol Chain.

This means that the original NFT remains on the Ethereum blockchain, but additional traits can be added later and linked to the Six Protocol Blockchain without changing the metadata on Ethereum Blockchain.

By doing so, we can change NFT traits by simply adding NFT Gen 2 functions, and keeping data stored on the blockchain. It allows us to track and trace all past data, no matter how much it may have changed.

Example of how the dynamic data layer work :

Preparations before using NFT Gen 2

For any business that wants to use NFT Gen 2, there are two 2 main things that must be prepared:

1. Prepare the smart contract of the NFT. If this is not something that can be done in-house, you can hire an outsource company to work or you let SIX Network handle it.

2. Prepare the requirements, such as how the NFT will be used and how many will be needed. For example, a company might want to use the NFT as a membership card for 500 numbers. If a company is unsure about these details, SIX Network can consult to find a suitable solution.

Once the necessary preparations have been made, the following steps can be taken to set up NFT Gen 2

1. Download Binary and list available commands of the binary Create Account

How to use NFT Gen 2

Most people that adopt NFT Gen 2 aim to add value to their businesses. We would like to give an example of a coffee shop that wants to increase customer engagement and retention by replacing the old point-collecting program with NFT Gen 2.

A coffee shop, SIX Cafe, decides to launch an NFT point system to reward its loyal customers and increase engagement. Customers can buy NFTs and collect points when buying coffee, referring friends, and participating in special promotions or events. These NFTs can then be used to redeem rewards, such as discounts, free drinks or snacks, etc.

To participate in the NFT point system, customers must first create a digital wallet link to SIX Cafe. And, SIX Cafe might set rules and activities such as buy 10 cups get 2 snacks free. So, Whenever customers buy coffee, they will be automatically collecting points in their wallets. They can then view their activities and redeem their points when purchased.

Also, It will be recorded in the system, how many rewards customers redeem. To ensure that every point is valid and transparent, also avoid errors when giving privileges.

In the future, SIX Cafe might decide to create a marketplace where customers can buy and sell their NFTs with other users. This allows customers to trade or sell their points for other rewards or even for cash.

Overall, the NFT point system serves as a way for SIX cafe to reward its loyal customers, increase engagement, and create new business opportunities.

For example, This NFT Collection has an Asymmetrical Trait in which Buakaw’s NFT traits left and right are different. But when the holder uses “Mirror Potion” (Symmetric Potion) and mixes it with NFT, It will make the original NFT trait evolve to be symmetrical NFT on both left and right sides.
