Filecoin is making the web more secure and efficient with a decentralized data storage marketplace, protocol, and cryptocurrency. They are here in Singapore during the Token 2049 week to bring more Web 3.0 people together at their flagship event FIL-Singapore Summit.
It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with developers, storage providers, ecosystem partners, investors, and clients across the entire Filecoin ecosystem.
At one of the panel discussions, experts discussed the topic- NFTs, The Bridge between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. The panellists lineup includes YC (Business Development Manager, Moledao), Anndy Lian (Author, NFT: from Zero to Hero), Jenny Zheng (BD Lead, BYBIT NFT), Guangmian (Integrations and Partnerships Lead, Kleros and Faye (Founder, Unschul).
They looked into topics such:
The fundamentals of NFTs
– As the interest in NFTs drops significantly with the bear market, how do you think we move forward from here?
– What are the existing utility of NFTs and how are they valuable?
“For corporations who are entering into the NFT space. They do not have the right tools and people. There are a lot of things that need to be done. If you are going to a decentralised marketplace, no one can also help you. If you come to a centralized marketplace like Bybit, we have tools that can help you make your NFTs happen.” Jenny Zheng commented.
Brands and Corporations Entering the NFT space
– Why do you think large brands such as Marvel, Disney, Adidas, Pepsi, LV and celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Jimmy Fallon are getting involved with NFTs?
– How does the use of NFTs as a technology disrupt existing institutional systems and applications?
“Brands can use NFT to build their relationship with their users.” YC mentioned.
Future outlook of NFTs as we move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0
– NFTs have received a lot of resistance in terms of acceptance. Why do you think that is happening, and what will it take for mass adoption of NFTs?
– What do you think about some of the ways that liquidity can be added to NFTs, whether in terms of NFT collateralised loans, AMMs, or derivatives like futures on NFTs?
– What do you think will be the next big trend in NFTs?
“I really hope to see more AAA games entering the NFT market. I think the driving force for the next wave will be led by NFT.” Anndy Lian added too.
