Fusing NFTs together to mint a new special NFT

Introduction

When people think about NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) they can be quick to assume that these tokens are just jpegs that can be right clicked and saved.

But NFTs can be much more than just jpegs. They can represent anything digital and/or physical assets. They can hold as much data as you would like by either storing it on the blockchain or point to an off-chain storage for its metadata.

Make NFTs more valuable for you or others

You can make NFTs interactive by creating a smart contract that allows one to fuse multiple NFTs in order to create (mint) a new special NFT. This allows collectors to really 'play' with their NFTs instead of only holding or trading them. Giving this option can make trading much more valuable as you might end up creating, through the fusion of multiple NFTs, a special NFT that others may want. So you are creating something that others might find valuable.

An example of this is Basic Beasts, Basic Beasts is a Pokémon-inspired interactive collectibles game. You can collect, breed, trade, and evolve beasts. You evolve a lower level 1-star beast by fusing three of its kind in order to get a 2-star level version of the beast.

How can you get started with this?

Hyperverse, which is a marketplace for smart contracts, allow you to reuse modules that have been audited and deployed on the blockchain, so you don't have to worry about web3 stuff. You will be able to rapidly build a Dapp (Decentralized app) by combining different modules that fits your use-case.

In case, there are some modules you need but isn't available, you can choose to build them yourself or hire some developers and receive support from Decentology, the company behind Hyperverse.
By making your own smart modules. You allow others to reuse your code and you would receive lifetime royalty for your code, which could create an extra income source for you.
