NFT believers want to prove them wrong and show that these certificates of digital art stored on the blockchain, a distributed, immutable database, have real use cases. Their efforts often involve integrating NFTs into applications already with mainstream adoption. Twitter, for example, now lets users authenticate their NFT profiles for a fee so others know they actually spend a fortune on their Bored Apes rather than having right-clicked on a JPEG. What about making one’s NFT avatars talk? Kakao Investment, a subsidiary…
