10 Affordable NFT Projects You Should Know About In 2022

Since its release, BASΞD VITALIK has proven to be one of the most exciting collections that NFT creator ART101 has dropped. After a rough start that led to only 12% of the supply minting on the first day, the team made some rather radical changes that resulted in the remaining supply minting out in just over 3 minutes. By deciding to refund their minters and change the collection to Free-to-Mint, ART101 sacrificed profits in order to put their community and collection in the best position possible. This decision is proving to be a wise one, as the collection has seen solid post-mint traction. BASΞD VITALIK is the latest NFT collection from verified NFT creator ART101, and the 6th in total. A generative NFT collection based on the creator of Ethereum, BASΞD VITALIK is as unapologetically unabashed as the man himself. Announced on Vitalik Buterins birthday on January 31st, the collection dropped on February 22nd with a total supply of 4962 and a public mint price of .06 ETH. With more than 100 unique traits, including eyewear, hairstyles, jewelry, hats, callbacks, and skin tone variations, BASΞD VITALIK has a hyper-fauvist take on generative PFP NFTs. an authentic homage to crypto-royalty. Art101's History and Future Since August 2021, ART101 has minted over 20,000 NFTs across five generative collections, generating more than $2 million in sales volume in the secondhand market. With a fully doxxed team and contract source code publicly available, the ART101 team has positioned itself as one of the more reputable NFT creators. ART101's prominent collections include familiar names from their Roadmap v1, including , , and , with art inspired by the likes of Andy Warhol, Piet Mondrian, and the Bauhaus Art Movement. These collections have sold hundreds of ETH in volume while obtaining collection verifications across all premier NFT Marketplaces. In addition, ART101 has released multiple unannounced smaller collections with exclusive access and allowlists for existing collectors, such as SoupXMondrian and NFTZine. Non-Fungible Soup MondrianNFT Bauhaus Blocks Each Art101 NFT collection is set up to be future-proofed. All collections have provenance data contents maintained on decentralized IPFS nodes and image formats of both raster and infinitely-scalable vector. Art101 creates every collection to be the highest quality artworks possible, able to be used in various formats and stand the tests of time. By providing a combination of quality artwork and reliable coding, Art101 has obtained various account and collection verifications with the most reputable marketplaces in the NFT world. These Verifications help reassure prospective collectors that ART101 NFTs are authentic and well supported, representing genuine ART101 quality. : Art101 Marketplace Creator Verifications Opensea Rarible NiftyGateway FTX Mintable.app Bad Timing BASΞD VITALIK's release was one of unfortunate timing. Shortly after announcing their release date, some of the most anticipated NFT drops in months began announcing their own releases the same week. The drop date quickly became crowded with massive projects utilizing much larger promotional campaigns. Starcatchers and Invisible Friends minted on the same days as the BASΞD VITALIK allowlist and public mints, with Wonderpals shortly after. Howlerz and 3Landers also minted on that same week, as well as a major Pixelmon reveal. Being lost among the massive amount of NFT news, attention for BASΞD VITALIK was at a minimum by the time it was released. The unfortunate result was the collection minting only 12% of its supply on the first day, putting it well below projections for minting the full supply. So ART101 decided to do something unheard of in NFTs. They refunded all of their minters in full and then changed the collection to Free-to-Mint. Full refund, move to Free-to-Mint. With ART101 unwilling to leave their supporters in a bad situation, artist Carty Sewill announced the shocking but exciting move. "Art101 would rather have 0 ETH and a minted-out contract than 25 ETH with 15% of the supply minted. So here's the rub, we've refunded all BASΞD VITALIK minters, more than 60,000 USD in total." He continued "Art101 doesn't wanna leave anyone holding bags, especially those of you who came out to support us. We aren't hype-lords; that's fine with us. We're more interested in making NFTs than stacking ETH. And we just returned 65,000 USD to prove it." Instead of letting the project sputter out at .06 ETH, the team decided to change the collection Free-to-Mint and refund all collectors who already paid to mint. As a result, the project quickly regained its momentum and enthusiasm throughout the NFT community. Mission Accomplished - BASΞD VITALIK mints out. With the early BASΞD VITALIK minters waking up to a full refund, the community quickly filled with excitement. The additional news that the collection was Free-to-Mint was the icing on the cake for the rest of the ART101 collectors. It was evident from the response that this was the correct decision. Once the contract re-opened, over 4,000 NFTs were minted in 3 minutes and 13 seconds, quickly exhausting the remaining supply. Thanks to a new ERC-721A standard, gas fees were extraordinarily low for all transactions. Since quickly minting out, BASΞD VITALIK and ART101 have hit the ground running. The collection has already obtained rarity rankings with various providers, been listed on multiple NFT data analytics platforms, and received multiple creator and collection verifications, all within its first week. : Rarity Rankings RaritySniffer TraitSniper RankNFT NFTinit : Data Analytics MomentRanks NFT-Stats DappRadar Dapp.com : Verifications Opensea Creator Rarible Creator Etherscan Contract Brave Creator So what is next? When asked, Art101's Carty Sewill responds, "More free drops. Roadmap v2 is next, and then… more free drops. As we said, we just wanna make NFTs. We'll let the market decide the rest. While everyone else is grabbing cash and rugpulling, we'll continue dropping free-to-mint NFTs. Just keep an eye out." Artist Carty Sewill The artist behind the Art101 NFT collections is with over a decade of consistent creation. He is studied at San Jose State University, where he graduated with a degree in Philosophy. When starting his art career, Carty worked as a freelance graphic designer as he worked in several exhibitions and art installations. As Carty's career as an artist developed, he presented his works in various California and New York galleries before switching to digital mediums and eventually moving into NFTs with Art101.

The terms “hard skills” and “soft skills” are problematic. that computers are not going to be taking all our jobs quite yet. “We’re still a ways away from computers being able to replicate and replace human interaction and human touch.” Jeff Wiener, the boss of LinkedIn, says The result? Most in-demand, according to Wiener, are the so-called “soft skills” of human interaction, communication and conflict resolution. While, recent US data still shows that l, “hard” skills like , IT and trucking, I would agree with Jeff. These soft skills are paramount. But I think they have the wrong name. most in-demand roles are emphasising highly technica engineering One way to understand Jeff’s comments is to recognise we actually live in a world populated by people. We need “soft skills”, like communication and leadership. But the terms “hard skills” and “soft skills” are problematic. . Hard in this context has garnered two connotations. The first is difficult (as in “understanding the generalization of the chain rule to tensors is hard”). The second is that you’re dealing with things like machines, that are physically hard (“I hurt my head when I hit it on the laser printer which is hard”). The trouble is that this terminology put “soft skills” into an oppositional position. If hard means difficult (like tensors), then soft must mean easy. The notion of “hard skills”, especially in opposition to “soft skills”, is truly misleading Yes, soft skills involve working with things that are physically soft relative to server racks and diesel generators. Your boss is, physically, quite squishy compared to a truck. But undercurrent that “soft means not hard and therefore means easy” remains, especially as we glorify the hard skills of STEM. In a world of well-defined objectives and militaristic commercial language, “soft” skills are harder to quantify and fit in a spreadsheet, and so have no place in the modern, Taylorist workplace. Soft is hard Photo by on Miguel Bruna Unsplash Here’s the thing. Look at what is in the bucket of soft skills: team management, interpersonal communication, empathy, conflict resolution, critical thinking, perspective-taking. The origin of the dichotomy comes from a . Hard skills were hard because they were well-defined and straightforward. Soft skills were soft because “we don’t know much about the and social environments in which the skill occurs and… the consequences of different ways of accomplishing the job function”. The so-called “soft skills” are neither easy nor are they out of place in an organisation. US Army assessment between 1960–1970 physical In fact, the hard skills are actually the easy ones to grasp. You can wrap your head around them. Advanced calculus, or understanding the chain rule, or fiddling with a Gantt chart is really teachable and manageable once you know how. What is truly tough is persuading a child to do something they don’t want to do. Or resolving a conflict between two, three or more people. Or motivating a recalcitrant team to follow you, even when the data doesn’t support it. Or deciding that even when the data suggests it, something shouldn’t be done. That’s hard. Hard skills are easy because they can be taught more easily, and often in scalable ways. So-called soft skills are tougher to explain and require considerably more complex modalities than “hard skills”. Feel the power I’d propose a rebrand. “Soft” is the wrong modifier. These not-hard skills are actually the skills that we most need as individuals, at home and in the workplace. I’d go for “power skills”. It encapsulates both what these skills give you and what it takes to master them. What do you think? Is ‘soft’ the right way to encapsulate these skills? Or is power, or something else better?

How Orbis implements Wireless mesh network technology Wireless mesh networks, an emerging technology, may bring the dream of a seamlessly connected world into reality. You would be forgiven for thinking that wireless mesh networking is just another marketing bullet point for new Wi-Fi routers, a phrase coined to drive up prices without delivering benefits. But we can avoid being cynical for once: mesh technology deliver a significant benefit over the regular old Wi-Fi routers we’ve bought in years past and that remain on the market. does Mesh networks are resilient, self-configuring, and efficient. You don’t need to mess with them after often minimal work required to set them up, and they provide arguably the best and highest throughput you can achieve in your home. These advantages have led to several startups and existing companies introducing mesh systems contending for the home and small business Wi-Fi networking dollar. : covering a relatively large area, more than about 1,000 square feet on a single floor, or a multi-floor dwelling or office, especially where there’s no Ethernet already present to allow easier wired connections of non-mesh Wi-Fi routers and wireless access points. Mesh networks solve a particular problem All the current mesh ecosystems also offer simplicity. You pull out great tufts of hair working with the web-based administration control panels on Wi-Fi routers. might even the most popular conventional In outdoor wireless networking, wireless mesh networks are the third topology after and in order to build a wireless network infrastructure. Each device in a wireless mesh network is typically called a mesh node and is connected with multiple other mesh nodes at the same time. point-to-point point-to-multipoint Wireless mesh networks are also because each mesh node can reach another node going through multiple hops and leveraging other nodes as repeaters. The major advantage of a wireless mesh networks is the intrinsic redundancy and, consequently, reliability because a mesh network is able to reroute traffic through multiple paths to cope with link failures, interference, power failures or network device failures. multi hop networks Point-to-point, Point-to-Multipoint and Mesh Networks Two types of wireless mesh networks are usually implemented for commercial and government applications: Unstructured or omni-directional wireless mesh networks Structured wireless mesh networks In an , each mesh node typically uses an omni-directional antenna and is able to communicate with all the other mesh nodes that are within the transmission range. Wireless links in an unstructured wireless mesh network are not planned and link availability is not always guaranteed. unstructured wireless mesh network Depending on the density of the mesh network, there may be many different links available to other mesh nodes or none at all. Unstructured mesh networks are usually implemented with non-line of sight radios (NLOS) using low frequency and low bandwidth radios operating, for example, in the UHF bands, such as 400 MHz or in the license-free band at 900 MHz. Unstructured wireless mesh networks leverage one single channel shared by all the radios. Therefore, the higher the number of hops a transmission requires, the lower the overall throughput of the network will be. are planned networks typically implemented using multiple radios at each node location and multiple directional antennas. A ring topology using multiple directional wireless links is commonly used in a structured wireless mesh network to enable each radio to seamlessly reroute traffic through different paths in the event of node or link failures. Structured wireless mesh networks Structured wireless mesh networks are often used for mission-critical applications such as wireless video surveillance, public safety, and industrial automation. They provide the in case a site requires a highly reliable and available wireless network for a broadband application such as video, voice and data streaming. Each link in a structured wireless mesh network operates on an independent channel and, therefore, the number of hops for a specific transmission does not affect the overall throughput of the network. ideal network architecture Wireless mesh networks have been studied for many years in academia since the early ’90s, initially mainly with military applications in mind, and then they started to get significant commercial traction between 2005 and 2010. Mesh networks in the world. the global standard for simple, secure wireless connectivity, now supports mesh networking. The new mesh capability enables many-to-many (m:m) device communications and is optimized for creating large-scale device networks. Bluetooth technology, It is ideally suited for building automation, sensor networks, and other IoT solutions where tens, hundreds, or thousands of devices need to reliably and securely communicate with one another. According to networking expert John Shepler, in the near future the Wi-Fi card in your laptop might become an access point in addition to its normal role as network client. In a full mesh topology, every node communicates with every other node, not just back and forth to a central router. In another variation, called a partial mesh network, nodes communicate with all nearby nodes, but not distant nodes. All communications are between the clients and the access point servers. The client/server relationship is the basis for this technology. The pros and cons Bluetooth Mesh Network has several advantages and application in this decade. Some of them us enlisted here: a wireless connection between laptop/pc and smart devices. a wireless connection between various peripheral(mouse, keyboard etc.) and devices(radio, audio speaker, displays etc.) and mobile phones. transfer of files, images, and MP3 between mobile phones. Data logging equipment that transmits data to a computer. Smart homes Commercial IoT application Smart manufacturing Peer networking But these applications are defined within certain ranges. For example, we can not use transfer data or files between the devices that are located at distance of a mile. A powerful bluetooth mesh network can be created and by giving its access globally, we can utilize it in a variety of application including messaging. And hence, Individual consumers and developers remain locked out of this lucrative market. And that’s where Orbis comes into the picture. What is Orbis? The Orbis platform aims to establish a platform for both consumer and commercial developments in Bluetooth mesh by establishing pre-existing infrastructure and network for developers to deploy onto. — Jason Chao, Orbis CEO. Orbis creates multi-purpose and flexible infrastructure for developers to build upon and consumers to utilize delivering this through three components: . Orbis has applications in IoT development, crowd-sourced networking, and systems integrations. OrbiStore, OrbisWeb, and OrbisToken (OBT) How does Orbis Work? Let’s take a simple application, for example, messaging. Messaging however only stands in for the general transmission of data over mesh networks. After downloading the OrbisWeb app for your IOS or Android device click “connect” and your phone is now a part of a bluetooth network, a node in OrbisWeb. Then you can proceed to download an app, perhaps Bluetooth messaging from the OrbiStore. Using the app, your message is broadcasted to all nodes in the range that then, broadcast to other users, is in kind repeated and relayed. This occurs until your recipient has received your message. And all the while, as your phone too is relaying others’ data, your wallet will be credited OrbisTokens simply for being part of the network which can then be used to purchase paid apps in the OrbiStore. The value of such decentralized messaging in the face of seemingly universal SMS service and Wi-Fi is that mesh networks are not susceptible to infrastructure damage such as in the wake of natural disasters nor do they require costly connectivity implementations in low-connectivity places such as subway tunnels, underpasses, or even rural areas. Analyzing Orbis Using the metrics I follow, which have been highlighted in — _Bitcoin! Litecoin!

Orbis creates multi-purpose and flexible infrastructure for developers to build upon and consumers to utilize delivering this through three components: OrbiStore, OrbisWeb, and OrbisToken (OBT). 3. Future ideology OrbisWeb delivers secure, global, decentralized, and open networks of Bluetooth communities that anyone can participate in. OrbisWeb aims to make Bluetooth mesh development easily accessible to third-party developers with implementations such as IoT, crowd-gathered data, digital infrastructure, logistics, and systems management. For consumers, Orbis apps will bring unique functionalities unattainable with conventional WiFi based apps. Orbisweb OrbiStore is an application platform open to third-party development, whether utilizing BLE network infrastructure or not and developer income will be supplemented with OBT. Orbistore Developers are minted new coins based on app usage to coin cap and consumers are minted coins for being active mobile nodes running the OrbisWeb mobile app. OBT is used to purchase paid apps on the OrbiStore and purchase products. Orbis Token (OBT) I am pretty stoked for this one. I am VERY bullish on Chinese Blockchain projects, and the That being said, this token hit home for me and I have participated in the NEO ecosystem provides a high energy, high reward platform for growth and usage once mainstream adoption begins.
