Thanks to the latest round of LLMs, I was able to throw together a proof of concept for something I've been thinking about for a while Non-transferrable ERC-1155s on bonding curves. I think it's a great way to do game skins for several reasons - Always liquid, no need to accept a lowball bid or list your item for days - Easy for any game to integrate because it is a standard ERC-1155, so big indexing APIs provide metadata for devs to download and cache users' files - Price increases with every buy, so if somebody buys after you, you are often ensured to be able to sell for a profit (depending on fees & curve) - While an artist can't directly list the NFTs for a fixed price, and you can't trade them on an alternative marketplace, you can guarantee "royalties" over time via fees I built a quick Halo 3 style multiplayer game to demonstrate how a UGC avatar marketplace can be used in production Avatars can be uploaded and listed by anyone, but individual user settings define which quality of avatar is visible. If a user running a low end device chooses to only see optimized avatars, then heavy ones will fall back to the default avatar in games, inspired by VRChat This is something that I wish AAA games would implement rather than creating a walled garden of skins that can't be taken anywhere else, and in my opinion, this direction is inevitable Although AI is enabling us to hallucinate any 3d avatar into existence, blockchains can provide a receipt of authenticity, and open file formats like .vrm give us a reliable way to implement avatars across games with ease Please note that this was a 2 day project and is running on a cheap server. I will only expand features if there is demand. The contract is "audited" by Opus 5.5 Ultracode.
