From 2020 to 2021, we can feel that the whole world is entering a state of acceleration. Every day when we open Weibo hot searches, we will see some incomprehensible new terms: metaverse, NFT, virtual land...
On the eve of such accelerated changes in the world, we hope that through this program, we can help everyone have a clearer understanding or a simple basic judgment: what will the future world look like?

On the eve of such accelerated changes in the world, we hope that through this program, we can help everyone have a clearer understanding or a simple basic judgment: what will the future world look like?
Every episode of the program "Skywarp" will invite practitioners from Metaverse and the blockchain industry, as well as an art and culture representative who is more concerned about this topic but is outside the circle to participate. Some questions and research can get some more professional answers at the same time.
Today we will start with the hot word of 2021, "NFT". The term "NFT" itself has no official Chinese translation. If it is really necessary to translate it, the technical term is called: non-homogeneous tokens. And I think that the Chinese literal translation of NFT may be "troubleshooting". So we have this program - "Sky Warp", which also means earth-shaking changes in the entire industry.

PART 1
first level title
first level titleWhat does NFT look like in Chizi's eyes?
pond:
For me, it is actually like a shopping website, that is, NFT is buying and selling art and digital artwork.
I didn't buy it, but I wanted to. I also signed up for an Opensea. But if you want to send it, it seems that you need to pay a gas fee, and then I'm stuck here.
I think NFT has lost a large part of the charm of artwork. I think that personally, I may not particularly accept its display method and approach.
PART 2
first level title
first level titleWhat is NFT in the eyes of professionals?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
I also complained about the current encryption art just now. But in our understanding, NFT can actually have more usage scenarios.
The first collectible category, including our NBA Top Shot and Encrypted Kitties, are all digital collectibles.
Because the functionality and possibility of NFT can actually be expanded to more space, for example, we make digital certificates, identity certificates, etc. In fact, this is also some of our domestic alliance chains and domestic compliance blockchains. Some of the things we are doing include our identity certificates, academic certificates, ticketing, copyright certification, off-chain asset certificates, and so on. In fact, we will explore more in the domestic NFT field, and it will be more practical.
The second part is the digital collection. This part is actually easier to contact with consumers, and its investment and realization space may be a little bigger. So it got fired up later. In everyone's perception, NFT may mean digital artwork, but in fact, I think this is just one of NFT.
This is something we will continue to try in the future. But at the beginning, it may also be from the perspective of commercialization and company strategy, first from the digital collection, and then slowly push it back.
PART 3
first level title
first level titleWhat kind of products can be NFTized? What is the relationship between them?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
NFT is called Non-Fungible Token, which means non-homogeneity.
What is non-homogeneity? Let me give a simple example. For example, if I have renminbi in my hand, I will transfer you 100 yuan with Alipay, but this renminbi is actually a homogeneous, exchangeable and replaceable number.
But if you take a mobile phone and give it to you, and there is a unique serial number on this mobile phone, then this mobile phone can actually be understood as a non-homogeneous one. It has a unique serial number, is irreplaceable, and belongs only to this serial number of the phone.
If it is changed to digital, then the mobile phone is NFT. The money recorded in the phone is actually a standard Token.NFT is a very broad concept. It just defines the content of a physical object in digital representation as a standard. But it does not mean that it is a very modern concept, in fact, it can be explained by practical traditional ideas.
pond:
Because I probably had a subjective perception. So I can probably understand the meaning, that is, every product has something like an ID number.It is the serial number, which is the only serial number in this field, and it is certified on the network. It is possible that everyone buys and sells with this number or this certification. I understand that's always been the case.
In fact, compared with the concept of a commodity I just mentioned, my mobile phone is a commodity, and the mobile phone has a factory ID. So when we buy and sell this mobile phone, it is actually equivalent to exchanging this thing and converting it into a number.
Jiu Gu:For example, a digital product like an avatar is such a thing. So it's exactly the same thing as in real life, just saying he's on a chain now.
Jiu Gu:
The two concepts you mentioned just now are called homogeneity and non-homogeneity.
There are no identical leaves in the world, and that is indeed non-homogeneity.
PART 4
first level title
first level titleHow do you view the matter of celebrities issuing NFT?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
If there is a bubble, it must exist. But it cannot be said that having bubbles is bad, because having them can actually promote a positive cycle in some industries.
Let me take Jaylen Bear as an example.
After they released this product, it actually has a certain effect of going out of the circle, attracting some users outside the circle to enter the world of blockchain to learn or understand. Although the threshold is a bit high for posting on OpenSea now, it is equivalent to a certain amount of volume.
It is equivalent to introducing some new incremental users to our entire blockchain world. At the same time, in our research, in fact, the young people of Generation Z are very receptive to these contents and are more keen to participate.
The second point is that it is also helpful for every ecology. Because from the perspective of a practitioner, the biggest feature of some web3 products relative to web2 products is that data is actually shared publicly.
How to understand this matter, let me give a simple example, we all use WeChat and Alipay, so how many groups and people chat on WeChat, in fact, these data, other products do not know, Only Tencent knows.
But in the open supply chain world of web3, any of your actions on the chain, such as I bought a Jaylen bear, or I bought another NFT, all these operations are performed in a public on the public chain database, so in fact, any of my actions in web3 can be tracked by other products. So we can think of the web3 world as a complete ecology, rather than what kind of benefits a single company has released a single product.
So we think that everyone posting things on the blockchain, no matter it is a bubble or something, can help the expansion of the entire ecology, and at the same time help some other products to increase some data sources. So the foam belongs to the foam, but I think it must be a good thing to have more uses.
PART 5
first level title
first level titleWill the collectibles market bubble up because of NFT transactions and data transparency?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
In fact, there are still few users in the entire blockchain circle. You said that the bubble will definitely become bigger, but its iteration speed will be faster.
The entire iteration speed may be faster than that of the original Internet. I think the core point is that the data is common. The moat of the original Internet has gathered these users and gathered these data, and others will not leave easily.
But in fact, after the web3 incident, because the data on the chain really belongs to the user, then the user just said that he can bring his data to be attracted by another product with better experience or higher revenue, as long as it is a more Products with advantages can be attracted, because these things are public, so this monopoly will be interrupted.
Monopoly things will be interrupted. It may rise fast and fall fast.
But there will still be a moat, so what is this moat? It may be TVL, which may be too much an industry term.
When I mortgage part of my assets on the product, users will stay on your platform to a certain extent for a period of time, so this is actually a subjective behavior of users.
But indeed, the world of blockchain has broken the moat concept of the original Internet products, and the whole world is an interoperability.
PART 6
first level title
first level titleWood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
Jiu Gu:In fact, we are also exploring now.
Jiu Gu:That is, you want to popularize this matter, but you are not sure. For example, how good or bad will this be in the future? It may be very bad, or it may be very good.
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:I don't think it will be bad, and it is definitely going in a good direction, but there must be bubbles. How to apply this good thing to our life, or to make life better? This is what we are exploring.
pond:I think this matter is a relatively critical issue, because as I said just now, even if the threshold of the website or the threshold of various understanding fields is here, there is still a problem of how to establish a relationship with real life, that is It is said that now a person who does not understand the blockchain and NFT can live a good life and invest in art, but its necessity and connection with life are still a bit weak.
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
In fact, more attempts are made in the cultural field and some financial fields, including some compliant NFT industries in our country, but it is difficult.
Because there is a large part of the NFT field on the deposit certificate, in fact, this is a direction that our domestic companies are mainly trying, because after all, there will be no risk of speculation, but it is indeed difficult to advance.
Everyone will ask a question, why use blockchain to do this? There is a very important part of this thing, which is to confirm the rights.
Both are tried, but the former is more difficult. There is less content that is indistinguishable from the modern Internet.
PART 7
first level title
first level titleWill the significance of blockchain technology itself be greater than the field of entertainment or culture and art?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
Yes, I think there will definitely be more than that in the future.However, whether it is domestic or foreign, I think this road is more difficult, but it is more difficult to realize. In other words, it is difficult to form a positive feedback.
pond:
Then I understand. Because technology is originally a very professional field, it is not bad that people like you can understand routers now, right? Not to mention the non-homogeneity of blockchain and encryption, which everyone actually doesn't understand.
But now everyone has added an avatar, a picture, and a Jay Chou, and everyone is willing to occasionally find out what this is, but in fact, the application of technology is still in a place that everyone can't touch. It is very useful, but it may not be for ordinary people. an area touched.So now people actually see more of it in the avatar or some entertainment content, but in fact we still don't understand it in the future.
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
Yes, at present, it is a state where everyone wants to understand it, but no one can understand it.I think it’s like humans discover a phenomenon or a technology. Its technology is very good, but you don’t know what it can do in the future. This is normal. For example, when humans discovered fire, you didn’t know what it could do. Only then did I realize, my god, I can still go to heaven.
PART 8
first level title
first level titleDomestic Internet giants are all participating in NFT, will it be a future trend?
Reliable is definitely what I think is definitely still reliable, but the main reliable thing for me is some content made by Tencent and Ali.
Jiu Gu:Right now, the domestic ones are relatively large. From the perspective of blockchain, Tencent’s Zhixin Chain, Ali’s Ant Chain, and Bilibili have also built a high-energy chain, including actually another one called BSN. An alliance chain network in the country. There are several domestic alliance chains in the making, and the more brilliant products among them should be based on the magic core made by Tencent Zhixin Chain and the one made by Ant Alliance Chain called Ant Grain, and these few are actually the comparisons that are currently being made. There are many domestic digital collection products, that is, they have already killed the word NFT, which means they call them digital collections.
Jiu Gu:But could they just flow like NBA TOP SHOT?
Wood, technical director of Dapper Labs China:
But I think that the current domestic NFT is actually more about consumption or collection. Because their content is also entertainment, there will not be more of these products like overseas. Because the points that can be covered overseas, including, for example, metaverse, in-game products, etc., can be covered overseas. However, most of the contents currently released in China are mainly works of art and collectibles.
PART 9
first level title
first level titleWhat suggestions do you have for audience friends who are interested in participating in NFT?
pond:
The suggestion is that I hope that everyone can celebrate the New Year in good health, have a happy New Year, and remember tonight.
Because for me, the first is that I am really not good at investing. I can still be interested in understanding or learning about technology, but I think that for ordinary people, it may not be so relevant to everyone’s life. close connection.
So I think everyone can understand it, but I don't know how to advise you to face it, because I don't understand it myself.

The first association of NFT's Chinese input method is "Falling Sky", and it is also the Chinese nickname we gave to this strange concept. We will invite public figures in the traditional humanities field (art/entertainment) to represent the public to ask questions to bigwigs in the metaverse circle and "disenchant" technical terms.
