Samsung set to add a new TV feature that supports NFTs

Samsung has recently announced that they are planning extensive support for NFTs, starting with their 2022 TV model lineup.

⠀

In a press release, Samsung announced that they are supporting NFTs by introducing the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace platform. The new platform will allow customers to browse, purchase, and display NFTs in one place. It will also allow creators to showcase their art to the world and potentially get buyers.

⠀

Samsung customers will be able to preview NFTs before they purchase them on the new TV screen-based NFT platform, as well as learn about the history of NFTs and blockchain metadata.

⠀

The platform will be made available when Samsung’s 2022 TVs begin to ship in the coming months. Besides being able to preview and purchase NFTs, Samsung will have a smart calibration feature on the new TV models which will automatically adjust the display settings to the NFT creators’ preset values that will make their NFTs look true to the original image quality.

Shiba Inu launches beta version of DAO

The second-largest crypto meme token, Shiba Inu has launched a beta version of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

⠀

Announced in a blog post on Friday, Shiba Inu’s development team revealed the launch of a “Doggy DAO” in order to reward SHIB users and take a step closer to becoming fully decentralized.

⠀

The DAO’s first phase will focus on “providing immediate power to the community to decide which crypto projects and pairs on the ShibaSwap WOOF Pools will be, and how the $BONE rewards (Allocation Points) are to be distributed amongst them,” the team said.

⠀

Once the first phase is complete, Shiba Inu will release a newer version, called “DAO 2,” to allow the community to make general proposals around the development of the project that will be reviewed by SHIB’s Multisig-Team, and Breeds.
