Tokenomiсs is a neologism formed from the words “economy” and “token” (tokenization), i.e. it is essentially an economy where the main element is the digital asset of decentralised projects. Tokenomics is a complex phenomenon born at the intersection of technology, social mechanics and economics. Although the process of tokenisation of everything started more than 10 years ago, its zero stage has only just been completed: only now are projects that carry such offline entities (real estate, cars, various activities), protocols that unify such processes and other services appear. Perhaps, this is why many startups, when creating their own tokenomics, use templates, not realising that standardisation is only possible in general elements, but not where the token plays its main roles — functions. Some go through this stage in the formative stage, others leave it “for later” and thus ruin their ideas in genesis. Using the example of NIFTSY, we will briefly examine these issues.
Wellcome new partners of Envelop-Cypher Ventures China.
Polygon gave a grant to ENVELOP for the implementation of the ENVELOP protocol to the Polygon network. The grant was awarded on 25.06.2021.
Although this article begins with an abstraction that coincides with the title of a famous film, Collateral beauty, it is about very specific things. Namely? How the small NIFTSY project, due to its hard work and diligence, managed in a short period of time — less than six months of intensive work — to raise $1 000 000 for the development of its Protocol, Oracle and Index, and also to receive grants from such famous participants as Polygon & Rarible, also capturing the attention of Binance. But first things first…
In the medium to long term (1–3 to 5–7 years), we expect the market to grow due to the following trends: Overall growth in the number of users of blockchain platforms; Increased growth in specific blockchain implementations, in which currently the leadership remains with the Ethereum ecosystem, followed by Flow, WAX, BSC and others. There is also potential for growth in DRS such as: Polkadot, Cosmos, Tezos, Tron and Solana. At this time, by metrics such as: capitalization of projects, the average bill of sale of 1 NFT, the average bill of sale per 1 buyer (seller) — belongs to Ethereum, but the frequency of transactions and the number of sellers / buyers — WAX. The development of NFT standards and the increased weighting of non-ERC-721 tokens — also lays the potential for further growth, especially in industries not directly related to collecting and/or digital art. To date, NFTs have been involved in a variety of areas. We will highlight a few (in future publications — we will look at all of them in details): 1. Protocols that use NFT to implement various functionalities (NIFTSY, UpShot, NFTfi, NFTx, Meme and others).
Before working with a project, I always ask it questions and see whether the team understands the risks of the market or whether all it possesses is rabid optimism. No, I am not against optimism, but without racy epithets, because there was not much scam in the ICO, let’s say, but it is remembered precisely because there was a lot of objective, where young and not so “optimists” did not take into account the clear demands of the market. So, below is the NIFTSY risk hedging model, where on the one hand it presents market analysis of contingent competitors (I don’t believe in competition of p2p startups due to the principle of self-investment) and on the other hand it describes scaling of their monetization model. Simply put: it presents the architecture of the project in broad strokes.
Menaskop:The first thesis is simple: Tell us briefly about yourself. А. Shedogubov: OK, let’s do it in a reference format, will we? Alexander Yurievich Shedogubov, 33 years old, 15 years of work experience, in business since 2016 (development of a mobile app for IoT devices), before that he worked in sales while studying, from 2009 to 2016 he was a civil servant (a customs inspector, to be more precise). Before that, I graduated from the Customs Academy (Customs Department), and before that, I studied at a school with advanced foreign language studies (English as the main language, French as an additional language),
NIFTSY, a collateral-backed and price discovery cross-chain protocol providing NFTs with inner value and liquidity, has revealed its raise of $1,000,000 in support made from key industry partners. Disclamer The NIFTSY project does not attract investment or any other financial support other than that aimed at creating a final high-tech product, so the NIFTSY Token is not a security and/or other entity that involves direct profit-making. You can use the NIFTSY Token purely as a utilitarian tool within the DAO tokenomics. NIFTSY Round Includes Industry Pioneers The NFT market is rapidly expanding faster than the supporting technology can keep up. NIFTSY is a solution to the problems of the NFT market, including inefficient price discovery mechanisms and a lack of liquidity or parameters around royalties. The NIFTSY cross-chain protocol allows any cryptocurrency asset or other NFTs to be stored within an NFT for ultimate versatility and value. NIFTSY offers a clear business model, many use-cases, and several competitive market advantages that have attracted Contributors which include Waterdrip Capital, YBB Foundation, LucidBlue Ventures, Autonomy Capital, LD Capital, Damo Labs, Lancer Capital, Cypher Ventures, and others.
Below is the basic license of the core part of the NIFTSY protocol (and we also have Oracle and Index: did you know that?). And the first question to answer is exactly “why did it need a special article? Perhaps that’s where we should start with the answer: Because…. NIFTSY doesn’t just follow the principles of decentralisation and openness, but we have DAO for everything: all of the credits received in seed and private rounds are distributed according to general accounting/distribution principles, i.e. via multi-signatures and after agreement of all team members (however, an absolute majority is enough). That is on the one hand. On the other hand, we live in a complicated time, where centralized structures and dishonest players mimicking bona fide participants of p2p-projects are trying to take over and/or establish power through trivial mechanics: extortion, stealing, psychological pressure, including cheating. So we decided to take the simple way: to give the product “as is”, that is, under the MIT license to everyone who is honest with us. In case you don’t know what it is — it’s time to read the Wiki. For the rest of you.
The NIFTSY Protocol can be divided into 4 pieces, each of which can be quickly summed as follows. Protocol, the first of the four DAO elements, is designed to protect users from losing a certain amount of their asset(s), up to a maximum threshold. Oracle assists users with project selection and security at the selection stage. Index/linking element is designed to protect users in the case of a possible market drop. Token primarily acts as a linking element to the other micro DAOs of NIFTSY, and provides nice perks like being a utilitarian tool for wrapping/unwrapping NFTs.

We have chosen to fully monitor tokens by the community from the very beginning: in fact, this is one of the main reasons for the birth of this material. We should note that the Certik audit included several items at once: Testing smart contracts against common and unusual attack vectors. Assessing the code base for compliance with current best practices and industry standards. Ensuring that the contract logic is consistent with the specifications and intent of the project. Cross-checking contract structure and implementation against similar smart contracts developed by industry leaders. Thorough line-by-line manual review of the entire code base by experts.
Questions from the CryptoRank team #1. Can you tell us about ENVELOP? What problems do you solve, both in the space and for the community? Alex S.: – ENVELOP is a flexible cross-chain toolset able to give any NFT new functionality (economic set-up, on-chain royalties, rental mechanism, time/value/event-locks), protection of devaluation, and anti-fraud system. There are three main project parts: 1. Protocol to add the digital assets inside NFTs and set on-chain royalties 2. Oracle to score the collateral and assess the quality of assets inside NFTs 3. Index to hedge the position to whole NFT market — becomes one of the first decentralized and collateralized simultaneously market indices for NFT and related assets. #2. Could you shortly describe the milestones ENVELOP has achieved, and about your upcoming plans? Alex S.: – We’ve been in the top-10 projects on Binance Hackathon this spring, granted by Rarible and Polygon. ENVELOP has launched its protocol at ETH, BSC, and Polygon in production mode. The REAL NFT is available on these platforms. We will announce implementations of ENVELOP into games on www.cgc.one on the 23 of September. The first implementation of ENVELOP into the marketplace is upcoming this week.

Thanks, dear community!
p: Hi Alexander. Should we start our conversation? Alexander Kuzin: Yes, hello. Of course, let’s get started! Menaskop: OK. Tell us briefly about yourself. A.K .: Kuzin Alexander Viktorovich. I am 37 years old, and I started my career 19 years ago. I’m specialized in product and business development. Menaskop: Sounds impressive. How did you end up in the crypto industry? А.К.: From 2006 to 2012, I worked in e-commerce (the “CTO Group”). Back in the time, e-commerce was only starting to emerge in Russia — everything was on desktops and within the framework of the tourism industry. We were selling rooms through the electronic sales channels IDS (Internet Distribution Systems) or, in other words, ADS (Alternative Distribution Systems). They were called “alternative” concerning the earlier GDS (Global Distribution Systems — the Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport market) — only a few hotels knew how to work with it. At that time, companies such as Booking, Hotelbeds were much smaller within the IDS segment. They were entering the CIS market, while Expedia, Agoda, and others were just starting from scratch on the Russian market. By 2010 we worked with more than 30 IDS / ADS and maintained more than 20 hotels in them. Automation was inevitable. Our department proposed implementing a “channel manager” to automate sales channels for hotel room reservations, similar to how the German IT company Rate Tiger did. Significant investments were required to implement such a product, while there were three other directions (travel agents, corporate segment, and congresses) to take care of too. In 2011 we already taught hotels to work with those alternative electronic sales channels. As a result, it was decided to develop in congress direction only; this is what the CTO Group is doing today 100%, excluding all other directions. At the end of 2011, I decided that the IT industry was exactly where I wanted to develop my expertise. Later, in 2013, the Travelline company was created, which today is a monopoly on the Russian market of electronic sales channels for hotels. The payment market combined e-comm and IT, and in 2012 looked quite promising; therefore, I continued developing within the IPSP (Internet Payment Service Provider) in “AcquiroPay.” At that time, the real value in the payments market was technological, functional capabilities, and the availability of ready-made integrations with charge providers (rent, fines, etc.) — here, I began to immerse myself in IT and partially fulfilled the role of a product manager. AcquiroPay’s clients consisted of online stores and various organizations, from mobile operators (MegaFon) to electronic wallets (Yandex) and concert halls (MMDM). One of the solutions that allowed us to get a constant influx of customers was an integration +10 CMS modules (1C-Bitrix, InSales, UMI.CMS, ABCP, Sletat.ru, WordPress, etc.). Within The framework of AcquiroPay, while studying new payment technologies, I first touched upon Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Without being a technical specialist, I went to the company’s developers with a request to clarify the value of Bitcoin and the possibilities of integration into IPSP. A couple of days later, I received the answer, “this is something like a Torrent, but more like a pyramid.” I still remember this moment. In 2015, a friend of mine invited me to the Agora project. This B2B e-commerce platform integrated 1C / SAP databases with tailored conditions within the user’s interface and the ability to connect +200 different modules. The projects were very different: from small B2B portals to large B2B marketplaces. The most memorable project was the B2B marketplace project for VTB Group’s legal entities. The initial idea of this service was to connect VTB Group clients (~ 500 thousand legal entities in Russia and the CIS) so that they, being in a single ecosystem, could trust each other to buy and sell goods and services, with the prospect of exporting Russian manufacturers outside the country. At the same time, as part of the growth plan, I proposed expanding the framework of the project and unloading supplier catalogs to international B2C marketplaces like AliExpress, eBay, Amazon — the same type of “channel manager,” but as physical goods. It took about a month to convey the value of the channel manager to the bank’s management, but as a result, this direction was chosen as a strategic one. AliExpress then began to develop in the Russian market — our integration proposal turned out to be very on time. Integration was implemented, and the first suppliers were unloaded; however, there were other technical problems. AliExpress developers in China could change the API and forget to notify their regional divisions about it. As a result, AliExpress’s data simply stopped updating, and we learned about it from support.

Set up a final date of IDO - 21 October
Our CBDO @interfaxZ shared his experience of attending the summit: The first experience of participating in the GameOn Summit in the 3D metaverse format (built specifically for the conference and as close to reality as possible) inspired me on writing full feedback to disclose several thoughts about the event: 1) everything feels like the real world — if you come to the conference early in the morning, you won’t find anyone except the organizers. Around 11–12 am, the participants begin to walk around. You can see how they approach the stands; it is clear that they are watching the video or presentation while facing this specific stand.) 2) When passing by any participant, you can click on their nickname, and a window with their photo will open. Apart from the picture, the window will contain information about the person’s interests. Sometimes you can’t see a description of the attendees and information about them, but I think this is due to the lack of such experience. It is easily fixable; 3) each participant can be invited to chat in private — text, voice, or video; 4) there are separate spaces (according to the themes of games, music, art, etc.) where you can come and wait for someone to join and to talk about a specific theme of the room; 5) there is even a cafe with tables, drinks, and snacks. What impressed me the most was a couple of bean bags surrounded by bonfires for sitting and chatting with anyone in an informal setting;
