Nifty Gateway Co-Founders on NFTs & Marketplace Innovation | Overpriced JPEGs #27

✨ SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERPRICED JPEGS CHANNEL ✨ https://bankless.cc/jpegs  It's the 420 episode y'all! This week, Carly talks to Duncan and Griffin Cock Foster, co-founders of Nifty Gateway – one of the first ever NFT marketplaces. The three delve into the evolution of NFTs, the twins' predictions for where NFTs are headed, and Nifty's newly launched, non-custodial NFT marketplace which will have 70% lower gas fees than their competitors. We also get a little technical in this one: breaking down how that gas optimization works and what it could mean for other marketplaces and the future of interchain operability for NFTs. Plus, we had to ask the twins what it was really like growing up with the last name Cock Foster 😂😂. If you want to understand more about what's happening under the hood of NFT smart contracts (and you should), this one's for you!
