Spooky Story Campaign!
Did someone say spooky? And scary in one sentence? We’ve kickstarted the autumn and Halloween season with a Unique Spooky Story Campaign that you won’t want to miss!
Here’s how it works:
Create a spooky story (make sure it is unique!), and create spooky Halloween-themed NFTs alongside your story. These can be anything from a character, an item, a place, or an animal. Once you’re done, share your spooky story in the Unique Discord here.
By the time this blog is released, the campaign will have ended. To see if you’re a winner, check out this post below:

Bringing you more NFT XCM Updates!
Last month, we spoke of all things NFT XCM, the latest strategic project the Unique development team is focusing on.
To keep it short and sweet, NFT XCM (Cross-Chain NFTs) will enable anyone on the Polkadot network to seamlessly transfer NFTs from one project/parachain to another. This has only ever been done for Fungible Tokens (FTs) and the ability to transfer NFTs is slowly coming your way.
Our biggest announcement saw that you can now actively test transferring NFTs across Asset Hub and Unique Network. But hold up! This is only available for developers and projects on Polkadot.
Boost your testing with our latest update: grab test tokens now for a smoother, more efficient experience. Learn more here.
We highly encourage you to follow us on X to stay up to date on NFT XCM — more and more updates are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Special Collaboration Mention: G6 Networks & Polka Champs!
For this month's special mention, we want to draw your attention to a special summer collaboration: Polka Champs & G6 Networks!
We collaborated with the Polkadot Championships Hackathon for an incredible developer experience, where devs could create, feel inspired, and work on a dream project involving Unique NFTs.
The CCTF team organized the 3rd edition of the Polkadot Championships hackathon for developers in the Polkadot ecosystem. This time, in Indonesia alongside other ecosystem partners, Unique was one of the projects to join the hackathon.
The goal: Create a method by which any NFT token's attribute name or content can be hidden by encryption making it accessible to the dApp that implements the token but nonvisible to any chance observers on the blockchain.
One of the participants at the hackathon and a talented dev at G6 Networks solved Unique’s challenge and presented the solution in 2 different approaches!
We want to give a huge shoutout to all the teams involved in creating this Hackathon and to Andrés for solving the Unique challenge!
You can learn more about this collaboration here.
Thank you for diving into October’s spooky highlights! We’ll see in November with another round of ecosystem updates!
