✍️ Thread: The importance of the "Interactive NFT" format (github.com/beyondnft/sand…):

#NFTs today are mostly static files:

An PNG, a GIF, an Audio file, a Video file... which means they are bound to always stay the same.
This is a sufficient in a lot of cases, but this is also very limiting considering we are mostly consuming NFTs using browsers.

➡️ As #creators, it makes sense to actually use all the tools at our disposition. Why still transform an awesome animation into a bad quality GIF?
That's why the Interactive NFT (#iNFT) format is born:

allowing creators to use code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to define their NFTs.

This, allowing a full interactivity of the NFT, being it Art, Games, Audio, Videos, Experiments, Animations, Fetching external data for stats, ...
More, and not the less, supporting Interactive NFTs is supporting all formats (present and future) of NFTs, because it allows developers to define what is the expected behavior directly in the NFT metadata.
This means no more waiting for big platforms to support new formats: anything that runs in a browser can become an NFT, today.

We can then let our creative mind work, without being blocked by third parties.
👆 This is the idea behind this Open Source format:

Allowing interoperability and standardization of a way to safely execute user submitted code, as an NFT, so it can be rendered on all platforms the same way, easily.

A few examples of what this open source format allows as NFTs: 👇
