Re: Digital Collectibles: Topps launches Garbage Pail Kids NFTs on WAX
⭐ Merited by nutildah (2)
So anyway, Topps thought it would be a good idea to release their trading cards as NFTs, starting with the Garbage Pail Kids series. They toyed with the idea of using Ethereum or EOS and then settled on WAX, which is an EOS clone that is especially geared for trading items for video games. Thought its been around for a couple years now, WAX hasn't really brought any video game publishers on board, and the Topps launch of the GPK series is by far their biggest event to date.
Just to add a bit here:
WAX is not a clone of EOS. EOS, WAX, and quite a few other chains are built on the EOSIO protocol. Unfortunately, only EOS took the name and fame and now people keep mixing it up.
WAX is geared towards e-commerce, mostly focusing on no-coiner adoption. As they did with this GPK release using their cloud wallet that allows users to interact with smart contracts without handling keys or anything. Just SSO with email and go.
They do have quite a few partnerships in gaming one big to name would be Animoca Brands.
