Last week we had a look at the NFT Trading Fees on OpenSea and what kind of income that generates for the blockchain, the platform and for creators. This week, we’re analysing how LooksRare performs on the same metrics and then take a closer look at the rewards program baked into the platform meant to benefit users and differentiate itself from legacy marketplaces.For the most part, LooksRare functions as a regular NFT marketplace on the Ethereum blockchain.

I think we all have a feeling that Solana keeps on growing as an ecosystem and users continue to join the blockchain. But how are users actually getting onboarded? And how many of them stick around? In this report we will look at three categories users can interact with and follow their retention rates over the course of 6 weeks. These categories are:ProgramsNFTsTokensA quick note on new users: we’re considering an address to be new if it did not make any transaction in the respective categor...

In general we are going to see many of the holders of top NFT projects being present in other top collections. It’s a small world, but that’s even more the case in the young world of NFTs of the Optimism network. In this report we will have a look at the crossover between the top 10 NFT collections by Market Capitalization and then fan out to explore their holder’s presence among the rest of the projects. In the process we’re hoping to gain a better understanding of the top performing collect...

NFT traders generally hate having to pay fees regardless of their nature because it cuts into their profit margins. For everyone else involved, fees represent a direct and simple way of collecting on the value they have brought into the space either by creating the item itself or by maintaining a core piece of infrastructure. The recent increase in popularity and usage for marketplaces that allow their users to evade some of these fees started a debate on whether fees should be paid, when and...

NFT projects are very effective at creating communities around them and turning each member into a cog of the greater marketing machine. As a side-effect, people become too protective and tribal, with one of the greatest differences to settle being the host blockchain itself. But as bridges expand their capabilities and the conflictual culture cools down, some envision a cross-chain NFT universe. On Oct 7, 50 CryptoPunks officially traveled through the Wormhole bringing the OG NFT collection ...

Although current gas prices on the Ethereum Mainnet are in a range that many users would call reasonable, NFT traders will probably remember the gas wars the blockchain is susceptible to. For this reason, scaling solutions are trying to make their networks hospitable to both users and projects while maintaining compatibility with layer one.
