One of the fundamental building blocks of RMRK, the core of our very core pallet, is multi-resource and nested NFTs.
By using this XCM format, which only caters for the most basic of NFTs (links to media) as present on Statemine (see url.rmrk.app/wenwenwen), we lose this info.
This means your multi-resource, nested, equippable, reactive NFTs become dumbed down single-image representations of themselves when you move them around.
This is not what we want.
RMRK is about seamless teleportation of non-fungibles across chains. FULL non fungible assets.
If you move a Kanaria with a hat, we expect you to get both the Kanaria and the hat on the destination chain.
If you move a song that is multi resourced to also have a music video and a note sheet PDF, we expect you to get it whole when you move it.
An Exosama riding a tiger on MOVR should be able to ride it in full into @KaruraNetwork to collateralize the animal and take out a loan against it.
Today is when @MoonbeamNetwork launches in full. The Sudo shackles come off, the EVM switch is flipped, and the floodgates open. Here is a thread about why this is extra exciting, and why it is fundamentally different from what @MoonriverNW does.
Many people, me included, see @kusamanetwork as the "people's chain" and @polkadot as the VC chain. Not wrong. The vast majority of financially controlling interest is indeed in Polkadot and not exactly distributed. By that logic, @moonrivernw wins, right? Well, it's not a fight.
Moonriver is not just a testing ground for Moonbeam projects, it is a home to many just like Moonbeam will be to many others. And with the multi-chain future of Dotsama coming to fruition, we are the precipice of Dotsama's Big Bang.
In January, we came up with a system of 5 NFT legos that, when put together, allow you to compose a system of arbitrary complexity. These legos are explained in this thread:
Thread. To outsiders and non-NFTers, this #NFT mania might feel toppy. Football players and actors shilling #NFTs has to be a sign of the end times, right?
But when you consider that an NFT is "any data", the world becomes much more interesting.
Collectibles and tickets are obvious, sure, but if you take NFTs a little bit further than movies and images, you end up with a wonderfully composable world of NFT legos.
It becomes obvious that you can kick a LOT of middlemen out of your life.
For example...
A utility bill can be an NFT. Paying it can be an NFT itself, which is sent into the utility bill as proof of payment. This is possible with @RmrkApp's nested NFTs.
