ZebPay to launch India’s non-fungible crypto token and marketplace
By Edil Corneille
Bitcoin and crypto asset exchange, ZebPay, at its quarterly board meeting announced its plan to launch a non-fungible token (NFT). ZebPay’s NFT has been named Dazzle, which is said to be the name for a herd of zebras.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a cryptographic token that represents something unique and has individual characteristics that set them apart. Hence, non-fungible tokens are not mutually interchangeable. Owning a NFT is like owning a one-of-a-kind work of art or a collectible antique.
Rahul Pagidipati, CEO at ZebPay said, “We have announced project Dazzle, which will generate non-fungible tokens, one-of-a-kind digital collectibles. These will be given out to members through various programs. The difference between a conventional (fungible) crypto token like Bitcoin, Ether, or Ripple and non-fungible tokens is its rarity and uniqueness. It can grow in value not just because demand for it grows, but also because it can acquire new properties and benefits over time. Investors can either hold their NFTs or sell them.”
“This year, the global NFT market hit $100 million in total value and is expected to grow exponentially. It is being compared to the time when Bitcoin first reached the $100 million milestone and then exploded,” Pagidipati added.
The interest in digital art (or digital certifications of ownership and provenance of physical art) is said to be growing tremendously. Like other NFTs including the famous CryptoKitties, each Dazzle token will have unique properties. It will also confer rewards to the owner, such as lower fees on the ZebPay exchange as well as discounts from partners such as e-commerce retailers, streaming services, food deliveries, etc. Since they are based on smart contracts built on the Ethereum network, Dazzle NFTs will gain new powers over time, giving the owner even more membership benefits. It will also be possible to generate new tokens from pairs of existing ones.
As a new asset type which can benefit investors, artists, gamers, collectors, and creators of any unique and valuable digital content, NFTs like ZebPay’s Dazzle represent a new opportunity for innovation.
