One of the well-known digital collectibles was permanently detached from circulation. An ape form of NFT Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) #1626 was removed from the platform through burning. An advanced feature for Ordinals called ‘Teleburn’ is used for the burning procedure.
Recently, Bitcoin node operators have been using Ordinals, which have become a popular tool for participating in fun projects. Currently, they trade with each other over ‘small Discord channels’; there is no marketplace like OpenSea that supports the market demand.
Rob Hamilton, who partnered with Rodarmor in creating new Ordinals, said, “The idea is that you are one-way, permanently burning an asset on another chain and pointing it to the ordinal that lives on the Bitcoin chain.” In November, Bored Ape sold for 108 Ethereum, around $169,000 at the current price. In 2022, Bored Ape Yacht Club completed $1.57 billion in sales. In January, Yuga Labs recorded 34.3% of transactions.
Jason Williams, an investor, tweeted on Feb 12 said that he had burned Bored Ape #1626 for a Bitcoin Ordinal equivalent. Williams tweeted, “the NFT community is moving to BTC, where Ordinals have brought true scarcity to collectibles.” “It’s done. Over. Not coming back to ETH,” he added.
At the start of this year, there was a continuous growth of interest in users for NFTs and digital assets. In 2021, NFT generated more than $25 billion through sales of art, music, and video games in the Metaverse. OpenSea remained the largest NFT marketplace by trading volume in Jan 2023 ($495 million). NFT is a unique digital identifier that can not be copied or remade without prior permission from the owner.
An exhibition will be released at the Center Pompidou, a well-known museum for the visual arts of the 20th century in Paris, to showcase the interaction between blockchain and artistic creation.
As per Feb 10 announcement, the exhibition will feature popular digital collectibles from CryptoPunk, and Autoglyph projects, including 13 worldwide famous digital artists’ works. This event planned for this spring will mark NFT’s first display at Center Pompidou, internationally renowned for its 20th and 21st-century art collections.
NFT creator Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano commented, “Seeing CryptoPunk #110 displayed in the Centre Pompidou, arguably the world’s most prestigious contemporary art museum, is a great moment for the web3 and NFT ecosystem, and we are honored to help drive this cultural conversation.”
