Thread
Static NFTs are like a snapshot in time,

but Dynamic NFTs are like a living, breathing artwork.

Here's how they compare to static NFTs and what makes them so special.

🧵 ↓
✨In this thread, I'll cover: ✨

→ Two forms of NFTs
→ What are Dynamic NFTs?
→ How do they work?
→ Potential Use Cases
→ Conclusion

✨Two types of NFTs:✨

1️⃣ Static NFTs
2️⃣ Dynamic NFTs

Let's dive into each of these. ↓

1️⃣ Static NFTs ✨
These are the ones that we are most familiar with.

Static NFTs remain unchanged once you mint them.

Think of it like a digital painting.

Like your @BoredApeYC or @Azuki PFP.

2️⃣ Dynamic NFTs (dNFT) ✨

Dynamic NFTs can change and evolve.

Every NFT has metadata that contains its characteristics.

dNFTs interact with data and events, and based on those interactions,

a smart contract triggers a change in its metadata.

Example: CryptoKitties 🐱

✨So, how do they work? 🤔✨

At the core of every dNFT is its smart contract, which is programmed to facilitate dynamic behavior based on two factors:

1️⃣ External Data Sources
2️⃣ User Interaction

5/
1️⃣ External Data Sources ✨
dNFTs can change based on external data or real-world events.

For example: a dNFT could change its appearance based on the price of a cryptocurrency like $ETH.

6/
Oracles (like Chainlink) send external data to the dNFT smart contract,

and then, the smart contract triggers a change in the dNFT's metadata.

Here's a thread on Oracles (if you don't know what they are): ↓

2️⃣ User Interaction ✨

Smart contracts for dNFTs can be programmed in such a way that the NFTs evolve over time based on user interactions.

For example, dNFTs can be used for in-game characters and their skills that evolve over time as you play.

8/
✨Potential Use Cases✨

1️⃣ Web3 Gaming: Players can level up their avatar using dNFTs to represent their in-game character, XP points & skins.

Web3 Gaming will be crucial in onboarding the masses to Crypto (as per @a16zcrypto's latest report).

9/

2️⃣ Virtual Real Estate

dNFTs can represent a real estate property and reflect information like:
🔹 Property Age
🔹 Market Value
🔹 Maintenance History
🔹 Past Sales Record

10/
3️⃣ Digital Identity

dNFTs can represent digital identity cards like passports that get updated over time, with information like:
🔹 Address
🔹 Contact Details
🔹 Marital Status.

11/
✨Conclusion✨

The NFT space is constantly evolving.

And NFTs that can grow, evolve and adapt to the outside world over time make a lot of sense.

In the coming years, we can certainly expect another BAYC or Azuki utilizing dNFTs in their collection.
