- **The Rise of __Intellectual Property Non-Fungibles__ (IP-NFTs) and __Soul-bound Tokens__ (SBTs) and Game Theoretical Experiments around them towards Minimum Collusion and Ultimate Reputation Systems**

- It's true that NFTs are dead for a certain class of speculative assets—even though idea markets thrive on speculation, too. That which are assumed to be dead are usually faux-experiments in arts and culture that are indeed thousand parsecs away from genuine artistic and culture-making praxes.
- However, NFTs are not dead for the emergent class thereof alongside fine and experimental arts that may or may not utilized the smart contract architecture as a piece of conceptual art per se.
- The speculative nature of emergent technologies and primitives across crypto-economics petri-dish of communities help us coordinate around shared set of status goals which in turn oblige participants to experiment around more accountable forms of non-fungible software.
- The latest experiments and exponentially proliferating praxes in the decentralized science (DeSci) domain have given rise to IP-NFTs as collective bootstrapping of probably life-altering experiments.
- Replication Studies of these crowd-funded studies might be funneled through a SBT based Smart Contract Wallet oriented Intents architecture that might help us find ways to quantify scholarly contribution metrics, and the like.
- With the experiments that compound into fee markets mechanism designs on a multidimensional level in terms of account abstraction (EIP-4337) and precompiled signature (EIP-7217) verifications, we might have a springboard from whence a truly pluralistic and collectivist scientific reputation systems whilst being highly awarding for individuals.
- Zero knowledge proofs, minimal anti-collusion infrastructures, intents-based architectures, and minimum viable governance that abstracts rather than subtracts will accelerate the process.
- Data blobs a la dank-sharding in the longer term will help us integrate mechanisms powered by LLMs and other emergent zkML processes unto the chain, or its off-chain domains better, which in turn accelerate the scientific endeavor and the needs for privacy and ultimate reputation computation across larger data sets with the minimum friction emanating from off-chain value feeds.
- In the next five years, we'll be able to process and send signals to prediction markets thanks to sub-graphs, data availability layers, and open repositories, or dark ones, thanks to a hybridization of decentralized and centralized services at large—as in Radicle empowered by Github.
- All of these will result in a scene, and a stage, where DeSci and New Governance will have proved that NFTs are then almost self-assembling onchain computers that enable better coordination software, and gestell grounding—or, that which NFTs would then have evolved into.
