Cutting costs by 99% for the minting and storage of NFT’s will help propel use cases for NFT’s for mass adoption. Think about how every purchase of the next Avatar blockbuster sequel could also receive an NFT and an address for creators to reach customers via ongoing promotions. The same thing could happens for any sports game ticket, music concert event, or business conference proof of attendance. There are endless possibilities when you can mint millions of NFT’s within minutes on demand. Now that it is possible, we will have to see what innovation happens in this space.
