How are NFTs solving problems? From Art to Real-World Solutions

In recent years, the NFT industry has experienced both a meteoric rise and a precipitous fall.

NFTs initially gained attention due to high-profile sales of digital art and collectibles with collections like CryptoPunks, CryptoKitties, and Bored Ape Yacht Club bringing the technology into the mainstream.

As the novelty wore off, the market began to decline and developers have been slow to shift the focus from art and collectibles to functional use cases, leading to a perception that NFTs’ only value lies in the virtual art space.

Today, many NFTs remain unsold—79% according to recent figures—and public interest has waned, with some declaring NFTs are a dying trend. Despite this downturn, the technology behind NFTs still holds significant potential beyond its initial applications.
