In a blog post published on Wednesday, Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed a desire to create non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, associated with spirit, much like the commodity class of the same name in the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft. Warcraft or WoW. Buterin explained his reasons and explained that if someone shows that they own an NFT that can be achieved by doing X, for example by participating in an auction, it is impossible to say whether the person went to the auction to get it or just bought NFT . through the secondary NFT market.

The WoW Morale feature prevents an item from being traded, shipped or sold at auction in the game to other players. It is designed by the developers to prevent “flashing” or speed transfer from high level characters to low level characters, to speed up the process of painting monsters for experience.
However, they also serve as proof of achievement; This means that the character earned the item by defeating difficult bosses, not by inheriting it. The latter property seems to be of interest to Buterin, as the Ethereum co-founder has raised the issue that the supply of chain storage for driver’s licenses, university degrees, etc. will have problems if someone does not meet the necessary conditions. can easily buy them.
Buterin also praised the Proof of Attendance POAP project, which stores digital souvenirs from life on the chain and issues a unique brand backed by a cryptographic story. The team behind the project encourages portability-oriented developers to check “on the chain if the current owner is the same address as the original owner.” However, as with bio-guaranteed WoW elements, the exclusion of NFT portability should also make them commercially viable.
