In the world of cryptocurrencies, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have seen significant interest and investment over the past few years.
But what are they, and how can you use them? Here are 10 apps that allow you to store, trade or sell your NFTs – as well as manage your cryptocurrency portfolio – in easy ways!
1) Crypto.com
Spend, spend, and exchange cryptocurrency anywhere, anytime. This app helps you manage your crypto portfolio through price alerts, market tracking, and a fully functional mobile wallet.
All transactions are encrypted end-to-end so that only you have access to your funds. The app also allows you to purchase crypto with fiat currency and store it in a safety deposit box on your device. It’s easy to quickly access information about any coin right from your phone, whether it’s Binance Coin or Dogecoin.
You can also convert between coins instantly using real-time spot prices. Crypto is one of those rare apps that make cryptocurrency easier than ever before – especially if you’re new to blockchain technology.
The Crypto App is available as a free download on both Android and iOS platforms.
2) NFT LaunchPad
NFT Launchpad is an app that facilitates ERC721, ERC821, and soon all NFT development. As a single, blockchain agnostic point of entry into gaming and digital collectibles on mobile devices, users can play with their favorite crypto kitties while they wait in line at coffee shops.
And as a developer preview toolkit, it allows you to integrate digital assets into your software; as new standards come along with tools built on them.
So, start moving your assets around on Ethereum smart contracts today and get an early look at tomorrow’s non-fungible world
3) Binance
Binance is one of the best cryptocurrency exchanges in existence. With over a million active users and over 100,000 new signups every day, it’s an easy decision because Binance would be number one on our list.
The user interface is simple and you can trade on mobile easily with their app. They are also known for doing frequent coin burns which distribute their profits to token holders and trade volume has been consistently high since their beginning.
On top of all that, they have thousands of pairs that you can buy or sell while trading which makes them one of, if not the biggest exchanges out there right now.
4) OpenSea
OpenSea is a decentralized marketplace, making it easier than ever before to buy and sell digital goods.
Buy and sell unique digital assets: CryptoKitties, Spells of Genesis cards, Ethereum Name Service domains, and more.
On OpenSea’s marketplace, buyers find unique items they won’t find anywhere else — all ERC721 tokens. This means that each digital asset can only be owned by one person at any given time. There are no fakes here; every item on OpenSea has a verifiable history on an Ethereum blockchain address.
Enjoy secure trades: The ERC721 token standard was built with security in mind.
5) Axie Marketplace
The Axie marketplace is a decentralized marketplace that allows users of Axie tokens to buy and sell their digital pets.
The app is set up in such a way that there are never any fees associated with anything you do on it, meaning it will be more profitable than many of its competitors. As far as actual user experience goes, everything seems smooth and easy enough. You can create auctions and new posts, browse through others’ posts, or just list your items so others can find them.
The marketplace is relatively easy to use and navigate, making it a suitable option for newer users. Once you buy an Axie, that’s where your experience diverges.
Rather than simply trading your pets back and forth with other players or other cryptocurrencies, you can do things like feeding them fish or battle them against others using special attacks—and to do any of that stuff, you need experience points.
6) Raible
The company behind Raribox is trying to create a digital economy, whereby people can buy and sell digital collectibles.
The Raribox team has created a token standard, an API, and a software development kit (SDK), all of which will make it possible for game developers and publishers to integrate these non-fungible tokens into their titles.
These tokens will then become tradeable with other users in exchange for fiat or cryptocurrency. Raribox provides you with an all-inclusive ecosystem that takes care of everything from product management to marketing, sales, and customer support.
Each game listed on its marketplace needs to be unique in some way; so, creators need not worry about having clones appear next to their products.
7) Foundation
The Foundation protocol is designed as a way to secure ERC721 non-fungible tokens. Most of its functionality revolves around displaying and tracking ownership of various types of assets and collectibles while storing transaction data in a decentralized database.
It’s built on top of web3.js, so it’s well-positioned to integrate with other apps. It works with any Ethereum network (testnet or mainnet).
So, if you are interested in building a dApp that uses ERC721 tokens you can start prototyping immediately by deploying it on your private blockchain instead of waiting for Ethereum scaling solutions like Plasma or Sharding to go live.
8) NBA Top Shot
The first app that comes to mind when thinking about non-fungible tokens is CryptoKitties. Their collectibles game, also known as crypto-collectibles, allows players to breed and trade digital cats with real value attached.
These collectibles are digital representations of unique objects or characters that represent a rare digital asset.
The difference between a standard cryptocurrency and a non-fungible token is that each one of these digital assets has its own identity on blockchain technology.
When you buy NBA Top Shot (NFT), it’s difficult to say that you own LeBron James’ game stats because they are his – not yours – and he can choose whether or not he wants to sell them.
9) Nifty Gateway
The most versatile interface to Crypto Collectibles is called a Nifty Gateway. Simply put, it’s a smart contract that can communicate with other smart contracts to send and receive collectibles.
So, if you had 10 different CryptoKitties and wanted to trade them directly on Nifty, you could do so via their non-fungible token (NFT).
Most importantly, these gateways will allow you to use your Ethereum wallets such as MetaMask or Ledger Nano S on platforms like Discord or Telegram.
10) Autograph
Autograph is a free, fast, and secure way to get cryptocurrency. It’s great for newbies looking to get into cryptos.
You can quickly add your credit card or bank account, link it with Coinbase and start trading right away.
Also worth noting is that Autograph supports over 6,000 cryptocurrencies. To trade Ethereum-based ERC20 tokens you’ll need an exchange like Shapeshift that supports it.
