WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Non-fungible token, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Semi-protected edit request on 20 September 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Recommend the following changes: -Dete Shirley included as the author of the NFT and ERC 721 -Cryptokitties included as one of the NFT projects launched in conjunction with ERC-721

The changes would be in this paragraph: The term "NFT" only achieved wider usage with the ERC-721 standard, first proposed by Dapper Labs CTO Dieter "Dete" Shirley in 2017 along with the phrase "non-fungible token" via the Ethereum GitHub, following the launch of various NFT projects that year.[28][29] The standard coincided with the launch of several NFT projects, including Curio Cards, CryptoPunks (a project to trade unique cartoon characters, released by the American studio Larva Labs on the Ethereum blockchain),[30][31] rare Pepe trading cards and Cryptokitties.[28]

Not done: I don't see why these are notable, and we'll need a better source than "international nft day trivia" to verify the author part Aaron Liu (talk) 21:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On October 2022, AirBaltic launched a NFT collection with benefits for the airBaltic Club loyalty programme. [1]2A02:2455:460:DA00:5D18:5ED2:E725:7553 (talk) 18:27, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a reliable source explaining why it matters. Few crypto outlets are reliable. Grayfell (talk) 19:45, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The usages of NFT have also generally increased since then. This page indirectily misinforms people by only focusing on the asset and picture side. It much more reflects the publics understanding of the technology and bias towards the technology then giving a neutral approach towards the technology. Consider how to properly discuss modern NFT relationship with smart contracts for example. While you can discuss if it is a reliable source here is how for example different ecosystems discuss NFTs to understand how they are claimed to be used https://docs.stacks.co/docs/write-smart-contracts/tokens or https://messari.io/report/explain-it-like-i-am-5-nfts Other companies in healthcare have also started using NFTs in relation to their automation of data. Some aspects of even the default NFTs are naturally interlinked with smart contracts, but smart contracts get very little mention on this page...

Proof of stake etherium

This article still states etherium uses proof-of-work. However, they now use proof-of-state, which results in a huge energy reduction 2A02:A477:3266:1:31B7:F527:BE86:332C (talk) 05:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Remove or update the description of The NFT Bay

Under "Unenforceability of copyright", I see a mention to "The NFT Bay":

"This criticism was promoted by Australian programmer Geoffrey Huntley who created "The NFT Bay", modeled after The Pirate Bay. The NFT Bay advertised a torrent file purported to contain 19 terabytes of digital art NFT images."

This is unfortunately not true, as the 19-terabyte torrent file is just full of zeroes, you can verify it yourself here: https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/ebd5601f7dd8e5ee186bf302874e0a4c 2A0E:1C80:12:0:0:0:0:50 (talk) 22:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
