From NFTs to nifties Most people think NFTs are expensive jpegs. But you can now send millions of NFTs for a few bucks rather than buying one NFT for a few million bucks. That means NFTs will be as common as likes or RTs. So we need a term for these free, nontransferable, earned NFTs. Perhaps we call them nifties.

This was the in-vogue term in 2018. And Nifty Gateway tried to lean on this heavily (including its name of course). It didn’t really stick then but maybe it does the next time around. The framing that has traction at least right now is that they’re images, videos, songs etc that happen to be onchain.

These are effectively loaded emojis you’re describing, feel it should have a totally diff feel than NFT generally (that also needs a rebrand). Indelible marks evokes Freckles or maybe Sigils but probably a whole ass new word!

Perhaps whichever platform figures out how to make this happen at scale first will end up informally naming the primitive for people So if a given FC channel mod’s “upvoting” results in some kind of novel recognition for user (eg a “nod”) — I think it will be natural for people to call the primitive that

I think soul-bound is just right to convey the alarm factor of a non-transferable NFT.

have you had a chance to dig into ERC-6551 - tokenbound accounts ? NFTs that own smart contracts that own any assets, erc20, 1155, 721, and more 6551 accounts , like 🪆🪆🪆 The top level NFTs can dynamically update based on the assets underneath

Coming up with new names is def useful. POAPs are basically NFTs on a xDAI (now Gnosis) chain and the fact that they their name for these free, proof of attendance NFTs stuck is a great example that it can be done successfully.
