  • What are historical and current examples of NFTs?
  • What are the benefits of NFTs?
  • Why do NFTs have value?

Team Project Work

In this part of the project work, the business contributors and technical contributors should be working together on designing and building a user interface for their decentralized application.

–Business Contributors

Each team should make one post to the online discussion under “Other Topics” for Module 9. That post should include the following:

Step 1. Write a business description of the smart contract. How does it work? What is it’s functionality? How does it provide the service that is at the core of your decentralized application?

Step 2. Work with your technical contributors to develop a shared vision for the user interface. How will users interact with your application? How can you streamline the UI to focus it on the core functionality? In your post, write about how you answered these questions.

Step 3. Your technical contributors are working on creating a demo of the UI. Include some features of the UI demo in your post.

–Technical Contributors

Step 1. Build a sample user interface (UI) for your decentralized application. It can be a mockup or sketch using a tool like https://moqups.com/ 

Step 2. Create a demo that works on a local testnet or live Ropsten Testnet

Step 3. In your team GitHub branch, submit one or more screenshots demonstrating the different UI functionality.
