Reddit Avatar NFTs are witnessing volatile price tags

Published at: Sept. 26, 2022

According to a new analysis posted by Reddit user u/Warfared, Reddit Avatar nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, have seen erratic price performance in the past months. The analysis tracked the exchange of NFTs on popular NFT trading platform OpenSea.io. 

Among the top performers were the Fishy Foustling #1 and Mio Armor #1 NFT pieces, boasting a last sale price of 6 Ether (ETH) and 5 ETH, respectively. The NFTs were airdropped to qualified users three months prior who had high amounts of karma points on the namesake social platform. Taken together, items in the aforementioned two collections have surpassed 100 ETH in cumulative trading volume.

However, not all individual collectibles or collections are witnessing similar levels of price craze. Four exhibits, Meme Team, Drip Squad, Aww Friends, and The Singularity, currently have floor prices of lesser than or equal to 0.01 ETH.

Reddit Avatars are created by independent artists and are minted on the Polygon blockchain. OpenSea supports cross-chain operability, allowing them to be bridged onto Ethereum, Klaytn, and Solana. Users can purchase such collectibles via Reddit's cryptocurrency wallet, Vault.

Interestingly, some users have reported that Avatar NFTs are far less expensive to purchase via fiat or regular crypto than with xMOON, the native token of the r/Cryptocurrency subreddit. For example, one user, u/aroups, wrote: 

"If we want Moons to be used for in-app purchases, Reddit should make prices reflect the actual market price and not what they think they're worth. 500 Reddit coins require 200 Moons to be bought while it costs only 2.49€ to buy with fiat. A 10.99€ NFT would probably cost 1000 xMOON ($110)."

Users receive xMOON by acquiring karma points through content generation and upvotes. The token has a maximum supply of 250 million and is released on a monthly basis to their Vault. When users spend their moon, it is taken out of circulation completely. The token has a price of $0.11 a piece at the time of publication.

New software-as-a-service offering makes it easy for users to launch products, share art and more with NFTs
NFTs are more than a piece of digital art. They are an asset that exists on the decentralized blockchain. So, how does an asset go from being just art to an NFT? One word. Minting. Minting is the process of digital art taking its place on the blockchain and can be likened to the process a metal coin goes through before it is made available to the public via circulation. Once an NFT becomes minted, it can be purchased and traded in the online market and tracked online as it is sold and later resold, making its way through various …

China aims to separate NFTs from crypto via new blockchain infrastructure
China is planning to draw a clear line between cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs), pretty much the same way it did with its digital currency efforts, before the crypto crackdown in the country harms the local NFT industry. The Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN), a government-backed blockchain project in China, is working on infrastructure that would support businesses and individuals to build platforms and apps to manage NFTs, the South China Morning Post reported. Officially called the BSN-Distributed Digital Certificate (BSN-DDC), the project aims to support the deployment of non-crypto NFTs by offering application programming interfaces for the development of user …
