For a long time NFTs were mostly about being part of the community and “owning the art.” CryptoPunks, Apes, Pudgy Penguins, even Retardio during the memecoin supercycle, they were status symbols. You basically showed you didnt mind throwing five figures (or more) on a PFP just to prove you were deep in crypto. The hype faded as the market changed. Nowadays some people think rocking an Ape is lame (I dont agree with them tbh). But the direction of NFTs is clearly shifting, and we cant ignore that. A successful NFT project now has to provide more value than just art or community. With Metaplex core nfts new possibilities opened up. Your nft isnt just a jpeg sitting on some data center. It can actually become a vault and that vault can hold tokens that belong to the nft itself. If you have a working product that generates revenue and you want to share that revenue with holders, Metaplex nfts are one of the cleanest ways to do it. solana:MukLDtJ8Cx9DxLbeyLRSWPSposTMWuwHANbuaudpump Desks are a good example of this shift. The protocol captures revenue from coins launched on it and funnels a share into the desks. There are already days where a single desk generates meaningful passive income for the holder, and their market share is still pretty low. The dev is consistently shipping new features and the community is one of the most active ones on CT right now. I think they continue growing from here, and the desks should generate more passive income over time as the protocol scales. In the near future OTC Desk NFTs are going to be a real sign of wealth + actual passive income. YOU ARE EARLY! nfa
