LaMelo Ball, a Charlotte Hornets guard who is expected to be named NBA Rookie of the Year on Wednesday, is testing the largely uncharted waters of “dynamic” non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
His entrance to the NFT market came last week with the release of his debut capsule. The 10,000-piece collection was designed in partnership with Playground Studios and is powered by Ether Cards, which specializes in creating adaptable NFT experiences on the Ethereum blockchain.
Through the use of Chainlink data oracles, Ether Cards’ dynamic NFTs can change their visual appearance, using the same technology as smart contracts executing on-chain actions.
