On February 18, 2025, Chief, representing Layer One X, hosted an Xtalk episode diving into NFTs and interoperability. Joined by Lucy (DeLabs), Casper (Redcurry), and Peter (Moongate), the panel explored how NFTs redefine ownership across gaming, real-world assets, and ticketing, and why seamless cross-chain functionality is a game-changer. Here’s the scoop.
DeLabs: Gaming’s NFT Revolution
Lucy introduced DeLabs’ projects, Bard and Elder Room, which offer Web 2 and Web 3 gaming solutions on Layer One X. Their Champion NFTs grant digital ownership of characters, letting players trade, upgrade, and flex achievements. Interoperability means these NFTs can be used across games and chains—say, selling an Avalanche-based NFT on Ethereum—unlocking broader markets and rivalries like Solana vs. Arbitrum showdowns. This flexibility boosts player engagement and asset value, with DeLabs tapping Layer One X’s self-onboarding docs to go cross-chain effortlessly.
Redcurry: Real Estate Meets Blockchain
Casper outlined Redcurry’s mission: a real estate-backed digital currency, not directly using ERC-721 NFTs but a hybrid token representing commercial property collateral. These “digital twins” ensure transparency, tracking asset history and value on-chain via their Explorer, like a modern bearer bond. Interoperability enhances liquidity, letting assets move across ecosystems, reducing platform lock-in and censorship risks. Casper sees a future where tokenized real estate democratizes wealth, bypassing middlemen and enabling trustless systems, as seen in Estonia’s 2021 online notary shift.
Moongate: Tickets and Memberships On-Chain
Peter shared Moongate’s NFT-based ticketing and membership platform, serving crypto conferences, music festivals, and brands like Nike. NFT tickets combat fraud, verify ownership, and unlock perks like post-event engagement or community access. Interoperability lets tickets trade across chains, expanding audiences—think Polygon tickets traded on Ethereum marketplaces. Peter highlighted a Favor protocol collab, where Moongate’s multi-chain tickets earn points, envisioning a future where NFTs bridge fans to artists via token-gated rewards, like Spotify issuing NFTs to top listeners.
Interoperability: The Glue for Adoption
Chief asked how interoperability tackles fragmentation. Lucy said it’s vital for gaming, turning siloed Web 2 purchases into tradable Web 3 assets, driving adoption. Casper noted fragmentation floods markets with low-value NFTs, confusing outsiders. Cross-chain clarity builds trust, showing NFTs as secure titles—not just “monkey pics”—for assets like factories or tickets. Peter emphasized liquidity and engagement, with interoperable tickets linking fans to brands across ecosystems, like Shopify rewarding core buyers with NFTs.
Marketplaces and Future Horizons
On marketplaces, Lucy said interoperability lets creators like Elder Room’s skin designers sell on Blur, Magic Eden, or OpenSea simultaneously, reaching wider collectors. Peter aims for Moongate’s own ticketing marketplace, open to any chain’s NFTs, ensuring fraud-free trades. Future-wise, Peter sees NFTs merging ticketing with memberships, tying real-world perks to on-chain loyalty. Lucy envisions gaming NFTs syncing with artist soundtracks for cross-industry hype. Casper predicts tokenized assets as collateral, slashing investment barriers and rivaling fiat monopolies.
Closing Pitch
Layer One X’s self-onboarding docs empower projects to go cross-chain without bridges, ensuring direct transactions. DeLabs’ Bard and Elder Room blend gaming with ownership. Redcurry’s currency, backed by European real estate, eyes global access. Moongate’s 100+ brand partnerships redefine ticketing and loyalty. Chief urged joining Layer One X’s Discord for competitions and their liquidity bootstrap phase, offering APRs on stables and Ethereum.
Takeaway
NFTs are more than art—they’re ownership for characters, properties, and tickets. Interoperability breaks silos, boosting liquidity and trust, whether it’s trading skins, collateralizing buildings, or rewarding fans. Layer One X’s chain-agnostic tech unites ecosystems, paving the way for mass adoption. Catch the next Xtalk for more Web 3 insights—follow @Xtalks!
