Halloween-inspired NFTs are gaining popularity this year, but will the trend continue over time and will they prove to be great investments?
Halloween is traditionally known for costumes, candy and trick or treating, but this year, the holiday is transitioning to the virtual world as the metaverse unfolds. As such, nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, are being created to showcase Halloween themes in hopes of attracting collectors looking for themed drops.
Although Halloween-inspired NFTs appear to be a new concept, NFT artist Etsploit told Cointelegraph that Halloween holds a certain cultural importance that can't be dismissed: "I think people will collect NFTs for Halloween similar to that of NFT limited editions or releases of anything else."
Given this sentiment, Etsploit launched the "Mango Heroes" project, which is a series of NFTs built on the Solana blockchain and inspired by the decentralized trading platform Mango Markets. Etsploit noted that 7,000 "Mango Heroes" will be available on Oct. 31, along with a special edition Halloween portion of the collection. "We will be giving away a Mango Hero reminiscent of Jason from the Halloween Movie series to a member of our Mango Heroes discord who has contributed the most to growing our community," said Etsploit.

In addition to Mango Heroes, an NFT series created by NFTignition known as "Monster Bash" has launched just in time for Halloween 2021. Danielle Davis, founder of NFTignition, told Cointelegraph that the Monsters Bash collection features 10,000 NFTs based on classic monsters living on the Ethereum blockchain: "The collection features a series of generative art pieces that come in both a human and monster form. Your "hooman" state will transform into a monster before your very eyes."
Davis shared that the goal behind Monster Bash is to pay homage to classic movie monsters such as vampires, mummies and werewolves. Like most NFT projects that appeal to collectors seeking specific themes, Davis explained that the Monster Bash selection aims to spark nostalgia in people upon viewing these creations.

Another Halloween edition NFT has been launched by Uncanny Apes, a collection created by the Imperium token team featuring 5,999 "misfit" apes. J.B. Shaw, co-founder of Uncanny Apes, told Cointelegraph that the Uncanny Apes Halloween edition features a "ghostly team of spooky apes with their own different level of uniqueness."
Shaw shared that Imperium token will kick off the launch with a limited release of 666 NFTs of the uncanny primates: "The Halloween Edition apes have a total of 25 different possible traits with five different categories (backgrounds, head attire, hairstyle, eyewear and facial expressions)."

While killer mangoes, transforming monsters and colorful apes are being launched by the crypto community, some celebrities and major brands have also created Halloween-inspired digital collectibles.
For example, American businesswoman and television personality Martha Stewart released a Halloween series of NFTs this month that are currently on display on Fresh Mint — Stewart's own NFT website. According to sources, one of Stewart's NFT collections features several of the Halloween costumes that the eclectic T.V. host has worn over the years. Others showcase a Roy Lichtenstein painting, a "black widow" and a "ghostly equestrienne." Some of Stewart's featured NFT drops also include work from the Brooklyn-based collective "Maniac Pumpkin Carvers."
Staying true to the vast Martha Stewart brand, it's also been noted that customers interested in these NFTs can bid on offerings like the "Custom Carved Pumpkin," while also requesting specific designs to be created that are not NFTs. On Oct. 19, Stewart stated in an Instagram post that this is the first of many NFT collections she plans to release.
If Martha Stewart's NFT collection wasn't shockingly horrifying enough, it may come as a surprise that Spirit Halloween — North America's largest Halloween retailer — is also showcasing an NFT collection this year. Spirit Halloween recently announced a partnership with Upland, a blockchain-based metaverse, that would allow the retailer to feature some of their most iconic costumes like Jack the Ripper within Upland's virtual world.
Celebrating Halloween in the metaverse with NFTs
What's arguably interesting about Spirit Halloween's NFT collection is the utility behind it. For instance, the full launch of Spirit Halloween NFT bundles began on Oct. 25 and features Halloween-themed game pieces called "block explorers." Following the launch, Spirit Halloween will take over the Upland metaverse with their NFT bundles consisting of in-game decorations, frightening block explorers and Upland "Legits," which is a new generation of interactive NFTs.
According to Dirk Lueth, co-founder of Upland, Legits incorporate 3D designs that are optimized for a mobile experience. Lueth added that these new NFTs will offer an added layer of gamification that "die-hard Spirit Halloween fans will want to collect, trade and showcase, including an increased level of interactivity."

Decentraland, another blockchain-based metaverse, is also celebrating Halloween with NFTs by partnering with BEAR NFT and a number of other organizations to produce a Metaverse event called "NFTs are Dead." The virtual gathering is scheduled to take place on Oct. 31 and will act as Decentraland's official Halloween party and concert.
Ryan Kieffer, event producer and co-founder of BEAR NFT, told Cointelegraph that NFTs will play a large role, given that Decentraland's virtual land is a nonfungible token. Kieffer added that NFT wearables will be airdropped to users during the event:
"Guests are invited to wear their best costume for photo opportunities, a costume contest and other fun surprises. Attendees should also keep a look out for a secret special VIP guest who will be wearing a 1/1 wearable and will reveal himself for those who stick around for the party's grand finale."
According to Kieffer, the purpose of such an event is to bring people together in the metaverse, which seems to be an ongoing theme post-COVID-19. In addition to virtual Halloween gatherings, Davis remarked that Monster Bash collectors are able to earn passive income through in-game tournaments. "There will be a pit against other monsters, with one reigning supreme each time! Each of the monsters has their own traits, allowing them to be better at some contests than others," explained Davis.
Interestingly enough, virtual games leveraging NFTs may be one of the best applications for holiday-themed nonfungibles. Recent data from the Worldwide Asset eXchange found that significant NFT growth has been driven by a surge in gaming activity, noting that over $1 million in NFT trading was generated on the platform just during the last month.
Will Halloween NFTs be a trick or an ongoing treat?
While Halloween-themed NFTs certainly seem to be in abundance this year, some may wonder if this will be an ongoing trend or just another opportunity to jump on board the NFT hype train while it's hot.
Although it's hard to predict the future of crypto, Kieffer believes that there is space for more Halloween-centric NFT releases, especially with wearables that can be used as costumes. To Kieffer's point, a number of luxury fashion brands have also launched NFT collections to be worn virtually as the concept gains traction.
Echoing Kieffer, Etsploit commented that Halloween-themed NFTs could indeed gain traction after a few years "I think currently though, most people are looking for what is going to be the next long-term blue-chip project," he noted. Shaw further remarked that the Halloween edition of Uncanny Ape may be too specific for the overall market, yet he believes that the primary line of Uncanny Apes will spark collector interest.
Davis further commented that although the Monster Bash collection was launched during the days leading up to Halloween, the collection isn't specifically a Halloween project:
"We believe monsters are for every holiday, they are year-round spooky friends! Just because Halloween ends, that doesn't mean the functionality stops or the art gets worse. We think that though there will be an obvious holiday-specific correlation in the market, that won't stop our community from existing and growing."

Just last week, the United States' first official bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) began getting traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Released by trading firm Pro Shares, crypto investors feel that the product – while imperfect – is a step in the right direction, and yet the SEC's Gary Gensler is not as optimistic, and still feels certain things should take place for investors to get the right protection.
Gary Gensler: Still Plagued with Worry
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is heavily tasked with regulating the crypto space to ensure no illegal securities offerings take place. Gary Gensler is the man at the top of the SEC ladder, and despite the tremendous success the new ETF has enjoyed, he isn't convinced that things are where they need to be, citing an alleged lack of protection for crypto traders.
In a recent interview, he stated:
Investors aren't protected the way they are, whether they go into the stock or bonds markets that we've overseen so long. Without that, I think it really is, as I've said to others, a bit of the Wild West… These markets, largely around the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, don't have the similar protections against fraud and manipulation and front-running and other abuses.
Many investors have taken a serious liking to the new ETF even though it's based on futures technology, which is considered inferior to actual physical bitcoins by many analysts and traders. Gensler even went so far as to comment that his organization isn't likely to have much jurisdiction over the ETF despite all it's done to prevent such a product in recent years given that futures are overseen and regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
He says:
It's a matter of bringing as much of this space within the investor protection remit.
While things may not have moved in the exact direction many traders wanted, the product has opened the door for similar products to enter the crypto space. For example, following the Pro Shares debut, Valkyrie – a digital asset management firm – unveiled its own bitcoin ETF also based on futures technology.
CEO Leah Wald commented that given the positive response Pro Shares has received, she thinks additional products such as hers are going to become rather prominent in the U.S. Grayscale Investments is also looking to convert its bitcoin trust – known as GBTC – into a bitcoin spot ETF.
We Probably Won't See a Spot ETF In the Immediate Future
The news is good, but Gensler is likely not going to approve a physically backed bitcoin ETF anytime soon according to Nate Geraci, president of the ETF Store. He mentioned in a statement:
The SEC doesn't believe they can properly survey crypto exchanges and combat potential fraud and manipulation. While the futures-based bitcoin ETFs are a positive first step, it appears that investors might be waiting a while on a spot product.

Cointelegraph is following the development of an entirely new blockchain from inception to mainnet and beyond through its series, Inside the Blockchain Developer's Mind. In previous parts, Andrew Levine of Koinos Group discussed some of the challenges the team has faced since identifying the key issues they intend to solve and outlined three of the "crises" that are holding back blockchain adoption: upgradeability, scalability, and governance.
Blockchain testnets are an interesting subject because they come in all shapes and sizes. So, in this post, my goal is to leverage my inside experience as the CEO of Koinos Group (developers of Koinos) to demystify testnets and perhaps give some insight into why they seem to have such an impact on price.
The most obvious place to start is with the name: testnet. The purpose of a testnet is to test a network. At a very high level, there are two "flavors" of testnet. The first is a testnet that is released prior to a mainnet (main network), and the second is a testnet that is released after a mainnet is already in operation. The functions these serve are similar, but the context in which they are released dramatically impacts the perception, and impact, of the release.
I'll start with the second kind of testnet because, in a way, this is the more straightforward context. When you're talking about existing networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, testnets serve two primary functions. The first is that they are a live environment in which developers can test their decentralized applications. Every good developer knows that there's no such thing as perfect code, so testnets give developers an environment that is very similar to the "main chain" (e.g. Ethereum) in which they can test their code with effectively zero risk. Things running on a testnet are expected to break, and the tokens used are expected to be worthless.
So, testnets are an environment that enables decentralized application (DApp) developers to increase the value of their applications (i.e., make their apps better) precisely because there is no expectation of full functionality or wealth creation. In a sense, the value of a testnet stems from its worthlessness.
DApp developers vs. blockchain developers
But testnets have a two-sided nature, which brings us to the second function that testnets serve, and that function is to the benefit of, not the DApp developer, but the platform developer (in our case, the blockchain developer). One thing I have been surprised to see from my unique perspective is how commonly DApp developers are conflated with blockchain developers. Typically, people who write smart contracts are not blockchain developers, and blockchain developers generally spend very little time writing smart contracts.
Ironically, Koinos is throwing a huge wrench in this distinction because its entire system is implemented as smart contracts! Since Koinos smart contracts are upgradeable, this means that any feature can be added to the blockchain without a hard fork, but it also means that the people developing the blockchain (like members of the Koinos Group) are using and developing the very same toolchain and toolkit that developers will use to build their DApps. But this is a feature that is totally unique to Koinos, so we can put that aside for the sake of this discussion.
In every other blockchain, the blockchain developers have to develop updates in whatever programming language the blockchain is written in (C++, Rust, Haskell, etc.), and they are working on a very large and complicated system called a "monolithic architecture." Within monolithic architectures, changing any part of the system can impact any other part of the system, so the risk of making changes is that much higher.
Blockchain developers also need a live environment with low stakes that they can use to test out their changes and see what breaks. Like application developers, they want this environment to be as close to the real network as possible, which means that they want their code to interact with code that application developers will be running as well.
Two sides of testnets
This reveals the two-sided aspect of testnets. They enable both the developers of applications and the developers of platforms to interact with one another and safely test their code in as close to a live environment as possible, but with very low stakes. This enables both groups to improve their products and make them more valuable to their users.
Now we can start to see why testnets seem to have such an impact on token price. If we assume that price is a function of value, and that testnets help developers increase the value of their products, then price impact should be expected. The problem is that this correlation has led to several undesirable outcomes. Projects will often release a "testnet" that has no utility to developers for the sole purpose of boosting their token price. Unfortunately, many people will see the testnet announcement and just assume that something valuable has been released, and so the act will have the desired effect on the price.
Testnets before mainnet
Up until now, I've been focusing on the utility of testnets in the context of existing blockchains, which is that they create a safe space for application developers to test their applications and for blockchain developers to test upgrades to the underlying platform. This will help you understand the other important context in which testnets are released, which is prior to the release of the mainnet.
Once again, testing is the primary objective, but the focus is far more on the system itself, as it has never before been operational. Of course, since it is new, there won't be any applications running on it anyway. Now the situation is more one-sided. The majority of the people working with the codebase will be blockchain developers, and the goal is to get the platform to a place where developers want to actually build on it.
The first requirement developers will have is that the platform is proven to be sufficiently safe, and that should be the prime directive behind the specific tests that are run. Assuming developers are convinced that the platform is sufficiently safe, then they'll need to be educated on how to use the platform. In other words, the testnet must be thought of as an educational tool that enables developers to gain a deeper understanding of how they will be able to use the platform while they are also helping to test the security of the network.
Finally, as they are testing the network and learning how to use it, they will inevitably find places where the platform could be improved — important libraries might be needed, or important documentation might be needed to help them understand the system. This information is invaluable feedback that the platform developers absolutely have to use to make the platform better before mainnet implementations are finalized.
Computer networks have become a major part of our lives whether we realize it or not, and they are only increasing in importance. Testnets are a critical step in the process of releasing new and innovative computer networks that can add ever-increasing value to our lives. Hopefully, by gaining a deeper understanding of the nuances of testnets and the important contexts in which they are released, you are now better equipped to evaluate specific testnet releases and whether they are being designed and launched for the right reasons.

Data is the most important element of today's information-driven businesses. The better decision-makers understand their staff's requirements, industry developments, and client expectations. Also, it can more strategically plan future growth. This need has fuelled massive development in decentralized cloud storage.
StorX aspires to be a decentralized cloud storage leader. Convenient enterprise-grade storage options like Google Drive are combined with solid open source technologies. It wants to democratize the monopolized cloud service industry. Its technology allows consumers to rent storage from individual farms rather than a centralized service provider. Moreover, it is an open-source initiative.
StorX node is for you if you want to put your empty disc space to work, contribute to the future of cloud storage, and be paid. StorX is a decentralized cloud storage service backed by the XinFin blockchain network. Anyone may run a node on the network and earn SRX tokens. The network integrates Google Drive with dependable open source technologies. It also promotes good performers and removes bad performers. It uses an AI system to assess node reputation.
The User, The Star, and The Satellites are the three core parts of StorX Ecosystems. The SRX token is a payment currency on the StorX platform. The user hosting data must pay in SRX, and the farmer hosting node will receive it in SRX.
Node Operators
The primary role is to help the network as storage node operators establish storage supplies. The inclusion of nodes in the network and their reputation is based on node reputation.
Node Reputation
StorX relies on a scalable and robust node reputation system. The sophisticated StorX AI system quantifies the Node's stability and performance. The system employs reputation measurements to exclude adversaries from the network, enhancing security, dependability, and durability.
Network Node Inclusion
The network offers a unique procedure for adding additional nodes. When a storage node enters the network, its reputation is set to 0. Whenever someone uploads a new file to the StorX network, the Satellite adds unvetted nodes to the target list while maintaining file durability. Satellite is a sequence of machine learning methods that improve payload distribution on a node.
Unvetted nodes must present proof-of-work to store data. After vetting, the Node is selected for broad upload. A node's reputation rises over time as it stores data and produces proof-of-work for it.
Node Selection
The standard storage nodes are chosen based on throughput, latency, dependability, uptime history, and geographic location. As part of the load-balancing process, all uploads are forwarded to qualified nodes, with a preference for recommended nodes but a possibility for any qualified node. The system monitors the Node's activity. Its reputation score grows over time if it gives download statistics, passes audits, and maintains uptime.
Rewards, Penalties, and Node Reputation
Node reputation is used to determine a node wallet's reward eligibility. The StorX Governance team has a good reputation. The mark refers to the Node's reputation as an active network member eligible for $SRX incentives. The StorX Governance team may alter this barrier to accommodate the growing network. Penalties for low-reputation nodes are in the amount of $SRX tokens. AI automatically deducts token staking/reward penalties. The whole procedure is kept within the smart contract for community accountability.
The StorX Ecosystem functions flawlessly when Storage Node operators maintain Good Node Reputation. Nodes that perform poorly may be disqualified, resulting in no "hosting and staking incentives". Staked SRX may be burnt as a punishment if it repeatedly harms StorX Storage Network.
Reasons Backing Good Node Reputation:
Provide a solid cloud Infrastructure
$SRX Stake increases "Good" Node Reputation
Ensure 100% uptime
Always keep nodes updated with the newest patches and OS updates.
Causes for a Node's Poor Reputation:
Incorrect node configuration, such as not accessible on the specified port.
Node response time
Low traffic on primary app
If you correctly configure the Node, it will be considered for storage, and its reputation will rise.
Maintaining a Good Reputation
A robust node satisfies all of the readme's criteria. Its reputation will grow as it stays active in the network. Because a node's reputation is based on its contribution to the network, greater network activity means a higher reputation. Node owners (farmers) are asked to distribute and utilize the StorX App as much as possible to build a reputation. Access the farmer dashboard to verify repute. The team is working on a dedicated dashboard to show the Node's data.
Open Community
One of the other plus points, StorX is always open for input and ideas to improve the farm node's reputation-based reward and punishment mechanism. They consider recommendations seriously as it will help establish a better and more simplified node reputation environment.
Conclusion
To summarize and conclude, in simple terms, on the StorX mainnet, SRX is a utility token that drives the StorX data storage marketplace. Operators need to set up Node and earn SRX. Also, save data and pay using SRX. Node operators need to maintain Good Node Reputation to ensure StorX Ecosystem works perfectly and operators earn through the Node and its reputation.
