The ERC-721 Non-fungible Token Standard is a technical framework, defining a set of rules and interfaces for creating and managing unique, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] ERC-721 is recognized for formalizing the concept of an NFT and establishing the foundation of the multi-billion dollar digital ...
DAI is created and destroyed through an overcollateralized loan and repayment process facilitated by MakerDAO's smart contracts in the form of a decentralized application. Users who deposit one of the accepted collateral types (such as Ether) into a contract are able to mint new DAI, as a loan, against the value of their collateral.
This is an issue for Ethereum, which is attributed to increased network traffic caused by DApps built on the Ethereum blockchain, such as those used by Non-fungible tokens (NFTs). [14] Transaction fees are affected by the complexity of a DApp's smart contracts, and by the particular blockchain.
The DAO was a digital decentralized autonomous organization [5] and a form of investor-directed venture capital fund. [6] After launching in April 2016 via a token sale, it became one of the largest crowdfunding campaigns in history, [6] but it ceased activity after much of its funds - in the form of US$ exchanged for "Ether-crypto coins" - were taken in a hack in June 2016.
The Ethereum blockchain popularized smart contracts, which are the basis of DeFi, in 2017. Other blockchains have since implemented smart contracts. As of 2021, MakerDAO was a prominent lending DeFi platform based on a stablecoin that was established in 2017. [7] [8] It allowed users to borrow DAI, a token pegged to the US dollar.
A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), sometimes called a decentralized autonomous corporation (DAC), [a] [1] is an organization managed in whole or in part by decentralized computer programs, with voting and finances handled through a decentralized ledger technology like a blockchain.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), often colloquially called Bored Apes or Bored Ape is a non-fungible token (NFT) collection built on the Ethereum blockchain with the ERC-721 standard. The collection features profile pictures of cartoon apes that are procedurally generated by an algorithm. The parent company of Bored Ape Yacht Club is Yuga Labs. [1]
