The Internet Computer blockchain allows for NFTs to become one step closer in reaching their full potential. The IC stores all components of NFTs on the blockchain inside canister smart contracts. This means that:
- You own and control 100% of your NFTs
- NFTs on the IC can be anything (virtual worlds, videos, gated communities, etc.)
- Storing data on chain costs a lost less than on Solana and Ethereum
- With the help of HTTPS outcalls, NFTs can evolve over time and have real world connections
The Internet Computer is the ideal chain to launch NFT collections due to the use of the reverse gas model. Contracts are preloaded with cycles which are then used on demand as needed. This allows for users to mint and trade NFTs with 0 gas fees.
