5 Ways the Blockchain Can Be Applied to Ecommerce.
The blockchain is a fascinating technology that holds a lot of possibilities. These possibilities can be applied to a wide variety of industries and one of the biggest of those is ecommerce. This blog will discuss 5 different ways that the blockchain can be used in ecommerce
What is the blockchain? Simply put, the blockchain is technology that stores data in a way that makes it virtually impossible to tamper with or edit. This makes it extremely reliable for businesses. It’s actually quite similar to the way ecommerce stores currently store their data. But with blockchain technology, the data is stored with everyone who is using it. This means there is no central location for all of the information to be stored. It’s distributed. This means that anyone can access the information on the blockchain at any time. The blockchain is more commonly known for being the backbone of cryptocurrency, but it also has many other uses that can be applied to ecommerce.

How Crypto Vigilantes Are Hunting Scams in a $100 Billion Market.
A ragtag team is trying to weed out fraudsters in a fast-moving corner of the crypto world that’s entirely unregulated.
On a Monday morning in October, in a southern Indiana basement, a 52-year-old grandfather in a Dogecoin hat is patrolling the darkest corners of the crypto world for Shit Coin scammers.
Robert Browning and his motley crew — named the RugSeekers for a popular pump and dump scam called the rug pull — are investigating a tip about a new coin called We Save Moon. They’re examining its source code, wallets and price charts for red flags indicating fraud. Browning enters the coin’s group chat on Telegram, the messaging app where this world hangs out. He starts typing under his alias RobAte25 — a reference to his grandson’s birthday, 8/25 — and moves in for the kill.

NFTs and CC0.
Exploring the possibilities at the crossroads of NFTs and Creative Commons!
NFTs provide new avenues of ownership, yet ownership can be more expansive than just “control.” You can own an NFT and share it openly for others to use as they please.
These projects point not to the control economy but to the clout economy, as law professor Brian L. Frye has argued. It’s the “clout of ownership” that’s scarce, while these projects’ art can be consumed and used freely by anyone.
As such, CC0 NFTs are a way to pay creators while making their works available for everyone to consume and use commercially. Let’s dive in deeper here for today’s Metaversal!

Wear-to-earn NFTs target the billion-dollar fashion industry.
Here's how “wear-to-earn” NFTs will impact the fashion sector and what may happen if they become a trend.
The rise of the Metaverse and Web 3.0 are set to disrupt multiple sectors including the billion-dollar global fashion industry. As the world moves from physical to digital, traditional fashion design can transform into virtual wearables that can be leveraged in both augmented reality (AR) and in real life.
Megan Kaspar, managing director at Magnetic Capital and member of Red DAO — a fashion-focused decentralized autonomous organization — told Cointelegraph she believes that digital fashion nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, will be the largest NFT category of Web 3.0:
“Digital fashion NFTs include clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories and more that can be worn virtually or within gaming ecosystems. These digital wearables are currently being used for speculative investment and collecting, to clothe avatars in decentralized games, to wear in augmented reality environments and to be superimposed onto photos and videos.”

How a Collection of 1M Music NFTs Could Mint the Next Platinum Record.
Deadmau5 and Portugal. The Man are debuting NFTs of their new single at Miami’s Art Basel festival.
MIAMI — Electronic music producer deadmau5 and rock band Portugal. The Man are looking to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), not music streaming services, to sell their next platinum record.
The artists’ newest song “this is fine” is being sold exclusively as a collection of 1 million NFTs on the Mintbase NFT marketplace, which runs on the Near blockchain, with tokens going on sale Thursday.
Some 250,000 of these NFTs will be sold at Miami’s Art Basel festival for $1.29 a piece. The remaining NFTs will be sold as a mix of singles and bundled units and will come with additional rewards that have yet to be announced. A Mintbase representative told CoinDesk it has listed 68,000 tokens on its site as of Thursday morning.
In a rarity for a music landscape dominated by platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, the artists’ election to circumvent streaming services, and the largely unfavorable revenue sharing that accompanies them, is indicative of how musicians have been willing to experiment with blockchain to disrupt industry standards.
