Blockchain The United States White House released the national standards strategy for key and emerging technologies on May 4.

NFT By his own admission, Erick “Snowfro” Calderon is not a typical crypto founder. Before founding Art Blocks, a marketplace for computer-generated artworks, he spent 20 years running a ceramic tile business.

He stands firm on the need to uphold creator royalties in the NFT space. And he has resisted the temptation to launch an Art Blocks token. But most iconoclastic of all, he isn’t convinced there will be another crypto bull run. “There are people…

The Oscar winner and founder of the multimillion-dollar Goop wellness brand empire was reported at the time to have invested in Wild. Now that’s in dispute. Nearly two months later, a representative of Paltrow’s said over the weekend that it was “completely…

NFT ‘NFT.’ It was named the Collins Dictionary ‘word of the year’ in 2021. Many a watercooler conversation at the time centered on attempts to simplify the meaning of the new word in explain-like-I’m-five terms. Few succeeded. And now, it gets a little more complicated with the recent introduction of the xNFT. It probably won’t be word of the year for 2023, but it could lead to some pretty interesting innovations in non-fungible tokens. The ‘x’ stands for “executable,” meaning that an xNFT is not only a digital asset, but that it can also run built-in code. The xNFT, itself,…
