1/ Issue 16: The Broken Mirror // An Overview of #NFT Fractionalization ๐ช๐งฉ
In this issue, we highlight some potential benefits and use cases for fractionalization, review some of the major players in the space, and discuss some existing criticisms.
F-NFTs are NFTs that have been locked in a smart contract and split into a quantity of ERC-20 tokens. Each token represents partial ownership of the NFT. Governance over the NFT is then delegated to a broad community of fraction holders.
4/ There are three primary benefits to fractionalization:
๐งฉ Price Discovery - Fractionalization introduces free market mechanisms that can hone in on valuation in real time.
๐งฉ Liquidity - Opens up liquidity for high value NFTs above the floor.
๐งฉ Democratization of Ownership
1/ Issue 11: Decentralized Insurance: From Babylon to Web3 โ๏ธ๐ฅ๏ธ
In this issue, we briefly explore the history of insurance to contextualize the progression to #Web3 parametric and mutual insurance models as exemplified by @etherisc and @NexusMutual.
โ๏ธ Historically, insurance was driven by community (e.g. benevolent societies of Greece). The #Web3 era is seeing a return to the community model.
โ๏ธ When insurance companies are gutted in favor of programmatic smart contracts, costs decline.
3/ But The Curation Game is where things get interesting.
The $ROBOT token, which is used for governance, will enable a form of curation mining where designers create product ideas and curators stake their $ROBOT tokens on the designs they like.
In this issue, we discuss global labor arbitrage and the #Metaverse by looking at the history of MMORPG gold farming and the future of #playtoearn gaming.

1/ @indexcoop, creators of $DPI, are set to launch a #Metaverse Index on April 7th.
The Metaverse has gained enormous traction as an investment theme in #crypto. Let's review some of the holdings of #MVI to see how this index captures the Metaverse space.
Enjin is an ecosystem of products that make it easy for game industry businesses to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain. With over 20 million users and a robust product suite, Enjin can give businesses a competitive edge in the space.
The first decentralized world, Decentraland is controlled via #DAO, which owns the palatform's smart contracts & assets. Community events, including visits from @3LAU & @RAC, combine with #Web3 tech to create a unique social experience.
