Think Big with The Cross-Chain NFT Think Tank

During the biggest Polkadot Developer Conference (Sub0), we shared our latest initiative to a hungry audience of developers, the Cross-Chain NFT Think Tank.

Since the announcement and first PoC of cross-chain NFTs (NFT XCM), we’ve been hard at work delivering each milestone. But, there’s one missing link to see the successes of NFT XCM — use cases!

The Cross-Chain NFTs Think Tank introduces the idea of innovating unique use cases for NFTs on Polkadot, promoting inclusion, development advancements and adoption.
