Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have become an exciting technology that provides a fresh perspective on asset ownership, provenance, and value exchange. NFTs, blockchain-based technology, are distinct indivisible cryptographic used to confirm record the ownership of digital physical assets in immutable transparent way. The fundamental block NFT is smart contract built blockchain network. This contains specific information about it represents, such as its unique identifier, metadata, details. kept private tamper-proof due decentralized distributed structure blockchain, boosting faith token's authenticity. gaining popularity, but still developing stage. There need for comprehensive survey guide future research development NFTs. Thus, this paper presents technical components their features, minting process. Further, describes different token standards It various applications NFTs healthcare, supply chain, gaming, identity verification, agriculture, intellectual property, cities, charity donation, education. article also emphasizes significant difficulties faced currently implementing from viewpoints governance, property rights, well security, privacy, environmental effects. work elucidates directions overcome challenges adopting applications.

AI, Analytics and a New Assessment Model for Universities

Education Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(10), С. 1040 - 1040

Опубликована: Окт. 17, 2023

As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, its legacy has been to disrupt universities across world, most immediately in developing online adjuncts face-to-face teaching. Behind these problems lie those of assessment, particularly traditional summative which proved more difficult implement. This paper models current practice assessment higher education as influenced by ten factors, important are emerging technologies artificial intelligence (AI) and learning analytics (LA). Using this model a SWOT analysis, argues that pressures marketisation demand for nontraditional vocationally oriented provision put premium on courses offering flexible student-centred assessment. could be facilitated through institutional strategies enabling learning: an approach employs formative supported AI LA, together with collaborative working realistic contexts, facilitate students’ development sustainable learners. While literature area tends focus one or two aspects technology aims integrative drawing upon comprehensive evidence support thesis.

Academic Payment Tokenization: An Online Payment System for Academia Utilizing Non-Fungible Tokens and Permissionless Blockchain

Procedia Computer Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 230, С. 347 - 356

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Nowadays, traditional payment methods such as cash, cheques, credit/debit cards, and bank transfers are commonly used for financial transactions across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, real estate, supply chain, gaming, music, finance, retail, agriculture, tourism, pharmaceuticals, the education sector too. However, these often involve transaction fees, potential delays, security concerns. These lack transparency traceability features, making tracking, authenticating, verifying payments their associated records difficult. To overcome issues, we propose Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based online system that leverages blockchain technology (BT) features to revolutionize expenses in sector. We also present wallet generation, fee tokenization NFT generation processes. processes utilize Ethereum an interplanetary file (IPFS) store metadata information with details securely. use Remix IDE, MetaMask wallet, Sepolia test network deploy analyze proposed system's results. have JMeter simulation toolkit conduct comprehensive experiments evaluate performance terms throughput, latency, response time. Our assessment identifies increase parameters number users. This initiative will positively contribute towards addressing issues

Minting the future of art: a comprehensive overview of non-fungible tokens in the art metaverse

Arts and the Market, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2025

Purpose Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are reshaping art markets and gaining strong stakeholder interest. While research has examined their applications in ecosystems, role advancing Web3D remains unclear. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted to investigate the impact of NFTs on market its stakeholders, analysing 89 systematically selected articles. Findings The results study show that context can enhance privacy trust through blockchain technology protect intellectual property ownership rights while influencing dynamics, behaviour investment strategies. Originality/value As ecosystem grows, ongoing collaboration critical developing strategies ensure sustainability, transparency innovation digital arts. This is first step exploring these dynamics. Highlights (1) utilise robust technology, enhancing by safeguarding within ecosystems spaces. (2) Tokenised significantly impacts behaviours actors (3) Exclusive NFT communities offer significant social returns. (4) Continuous vital policy frameworks standards, ensuring environmental ecosystems.

Role of Non Fungible Tokens in Transforming Academic Credentials for Trust and Transparency

2021 International Conference on Emerging Smart Computing and Informatics (ESCI), Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 9

Опубликована: Март 5, 2024

Blockchain technology in education offers immutable records of academic achievements, ensuring secure storage and verification credentials. It enables transparent, decentralized systems for certification, fostering trust, eliminating fraud, providing individuals with greater control over their educational data achievements. Additionally, blockchain facilitates efficient instant qualifications, streamlining processes institutions, employers, learners. The current research explores the transformation non-fungible items into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) significance authentication within realm. Addressing limitations traditional certificates, NFT certificates leverage to ensure ownership proof, enhanced transferability. study extensively discusses ERC721 standard implementation, OpenZeppelin library smart contract security, tools like Hardhat, Alchemy, Pinata Cloud, web3.js creation deployment. demonstrates practical implementation token minting, verification, transfer operations through contracts on different networks, highlighting NFTs transparent digital landscape.

The recent pandemic forced the virtualization of educational processes around world, which caused a series problems in quality teaching due to improvisation its execution. reappearance metaverse as new social scenario has opened possibilities overcome inherited by education during pandemic. Therefore, present study aims review literature on emerging concept "metaversity" through systematic review. A methodology was developed following PRISMA statement WoS, Scopus and Scielo databases. Twenty research studies were selected that closest proposed metaversity, where their main characteristics scope are identified. results show that, although there no experiences unify all possible areas be virtualized university, fundamental advances specific sectors. Educational benefits implementation metaversity for students identified, such improvement cognitive skills personalization learning. potential transform higher is evidenced offering not only immersive learning but also center virtual interaction within university campus. La reciente pandemia forzó la virtualización de los procesos educativos en todo el mundo, lo que provocó una serie problemas calidad enseñanza debido improvisación su ejecución. reaparición del metaverso como nuevo escenario ha abierto nuevas posibilidades para superar heredados por educación durante pandemia. Por anterior, presente estudio tiene objetivo revisar literatura torno al concepto emergente «metaversidad», través revisión sistemática. Se desarrolló metodología siguiendo declaración las bases datos y Scielo. seleccionaron 20 estudios investigación más se aproximaban propuesto metaversidad, donde identifican sus características alcances principales. Los resultados muestran que, aunque existen experiencias unifiquen todas áreas posibles desarrollar universidad virtualizada, sí avances fundamentales sectores específicos. logra identificar beneficios implementación metaversidad estudiantado mejora habilidades cognitivas personalización aprendizaje. evidencia potencial transformar superior ofreciendo solo aprendizaje inmersivo sino un centro interacción dentro campus universitario.
