No one suggested developers have gotten particularly close to cracking the code<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nAll that said, Hofmann remains deeply interested in the technology. Making films used to be expensive, too, he said \u2014 recalling the time when, as a young teenager, he bought a book about filmmaking and learned he was expected to scrape together $50,000 for an entry-level film camera. Today every smartphone comes with a fully capable camera; that barrier to entry has disappeared.<\/p>\n
And he still likes the basic properties of NFTs: the fact that they represent a piece of data that lies outside an application; the fact that the data has a verified owner; the fact that the data can be transferred to another verified owner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are pretty big inversions of the way most of the internet works right now,\u201d he said. \u201cRemoving the value part from it altogether, just thinking about what it means to be the owner of the data and being able to prove that you\u2019re the owner of the data. What that enables, just as a technology primitive, it\u2019s super interesting. That\u2019s not something that exists right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
One project Hofmann is working on, Corruptions, attempts to build on those properties. It\u2019s a role-playing game that takes place entirely on the blockchain \u2014 it doesn\u2019t even have a website \u2014 with holders of the relevant NFTs playing by interacting with Discord bots. Among the game\u2019s more outlandish features is the CPC, or \u201ccommunity-playable character,\u201d whose actions are voted upon the community.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know if Corruptions \u2014 or Loot \u2014 will ever reach an audience of more than a few thousand people. (Hofmann estimates Loot has about 200 developers currently involved in some capacity.)<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m struck by the degree to which developers like him continue working to make something<\/em> out of the NFT and its strange properties. No one I spoke with today suggested that developers have gotten particularly close to cracking the code \u2014 just that it all continues to feel interesting enough to keep working on.<\/p>\nA year from now, Hofmann said, there would likely be Loot-related fiction in the world, and perhaps the first Loot-related video games. And as other CC0 projects join the public domain, they will likely continue to collide with Loot in surprising new ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just moves so fast,\u201d Hofmann said of the NFT landscape. \u201cAnd it changes so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
