Welcome back to Runway, where we report to you from the frontlines of the digital fashion revolution.

No, NFTs Are Not Just Digital Collectibles
The terms non-fungible token (NFT) and digital collectible are increasingly used interchangeably. Not only is this incorrect, but it’s also reductive. The term “digital collectible” minimizes the potential of NFTs as an architectural software primitive, i.e., as a set of code that can be repurposed to build more sophisticated programs or interfaces. For a reasonably simple analogy, think of NFTs as websites. Anyone with a bit of coding knowledge can create a website. They are “hosted” using a unique identifier (URLs vs. contract addresses), can store and display data (text, images, video), and can execute code to perform desired outcomes. […]

High ticket prices, poorly curated installations, and less-than-inspiring panels have left many dissatisfied.

And it seems that the event team is evolving considerably for the 2023 iteration. Today, CoinDesk announced a series of partnerships aimed at creating a token-gated experience for the event. It’s centered on Microcosms — an NFT collection that […]
