The surge is primarily due to the launch of Mad Lads xNFTs, a first-of-its-kind collection on the chain.
The transaction volume for Mad Lads reached $8.23 million within 24 hours, surpassing other popular NFT projects like BAYC and MAYC. The floor price for Mad Labs xNFTs soared above 70 SOL , or $1500 .
The collection, created by Solana developers Armani Ferrante and Tristan Yver, aims to pioneer Solana’s xNFT technology.
What Are Solana’s xNFTs?
Pioneered on Solana, executable NFTs (xNFTs) combine the features of traditional NFTs with executable code.
Traditionally, NFTs represent a digital art piece, collectible, or digital asset. On the other hand, xNFTx can provide access to the execution of code , such as a decentralized application, interactive experience, or game.
According to the Solana Foundation, xNFTs represent an “entirely new way to build applications” in line with “decentralized values.”
On the Flipside
