The First Polkadot NFTs: SubstraPunks - tulip Das - Voice
?I have been writing quite a few articles regarding NFTs recently. I also talked about the ?future potential of such NFTs and how the ecosystem is going to explode in the future. One of the most important criteria in the valuation of NFTs is 'rarity'. CryptoPunks is one of the first groups of NFTs (if not the first) ever created on the Ethereum Blockchain. An average cryptopunk currently sells for approximately 4 ETH ($1200)!?
We have missed the CryptoPunk boat, but Polkadot has given us a second opportunity. The first NFT marketplace in Polkadot is launching soon with the first Polkadot NFTs created, SubstraPunks?
Larvalabs is the creator of CryptoPunks. These are 24x24 pixel art images that were generated algorithmically. In total 10000 punks were generated with no single punk exactly alike. These punks were initially given away for free to be owned in the Ethereum Blockchain. The punks are usually boys and girls having different traits. The rarer types include apes, zombies, and an alien. The crypto punks are now sold in the marketplace. You need Metamask to connect to the portal.
Some interesting stats below:
Number of Sales (Last 12 Months): 4,184
Average Sale Price (Last 12 Months): 3.71? ($1,481)
Total Value of All Sales (Lifetime): 15.53K? ($6.2M)
The average bid over the last year was 4.41 ETH ($1,759.28 USD).??
?SubstraPunk NFTs were created by the Unique Network. Unique Network was the winner of Hackusama in ‘Build a Blockchain Category’. SubstraPunk is a Substrate based remake of CryptoPunks. 10,000 unique character images were created with a brand new set of face parts. Substrapunk images are auto-generated from 8 parts. Some of them are optional (like a beard or cigar), some are required (like the face). Some are uni-sex (like earrings or noserings), but some define the gender of the generated character (like lipstick or blonde hair for girls or a beard for boys). If the gender is not determined, the chance decides what it is going to be at the moment when they are generated.
The component parts are:
Face (2 options: black and white)
Beard, optional (7 options)
Earrings, optional (3 options)
Eyes/sunglasses (5 options)
Hair (12 options)
Mouth (6 options)
Nose ring, optional (1 option)
?Cigar or a pipe, optional
The total combinations possible are 89820, but the algorithm randomly picked 10000 of them.
All SubtraPunks have now been claimed and trading is going on in an unregulated grey market.

Next steps:
Substrapunks have been so well received that they will be moved to the Polkadot mainnet when it goes live next year.
The Marketplace was tested within a closed group of 10 early adopters. The testing was hugely successful with a few minor bugs identified. Additional portal features (e.g, bringing in Filters, etc) were proposed.
Voting features with be activated before the launch of Mainnet
I see a huge interest in Polkadot NFTs coming up. I would recommend testing the Marketplace when it comes up, this might turn up to be a good investment. Further details can be found in the Unique Network Telegram. Be careful about trading in unofficial forums.

Usetech managed to develop a system that meets all the requirements. The system has a set of all necessary functions for automating the processes of interaction between the OMS company and their clients. We were able to turn a functionally complex application into a simple and intuitive interface. This allowed the company to make the implementation of the system as comfortable as possible for itself and its customers.Of course, the benefits of using this system were noted by both the company's management and their clients. The system is actively used in everyday work and is an integral part of the management and quality control of completed tasks. As noted in the OMS company, thanks to the introduction of the Customer's Personal account, they are one step ahead of competitors in the market.
