Rather than focus on static NFTs, Autonomy introduces the concept of aNFTs, or autonomous non-fungible tokens. It may seem a bit Skynet-like at first, although this concept has tremendous potential. One can use a smart contract to create more contracts. Developers have been able to code such features for a while, although nothing has been deployed on a large scale just yet. Through Autonomy, it becomes possible to own an NFT that can work on your behalf around the clock. Some may argue it is possible to deploy a bot for that particular purpose, although it requires some upkeep and a hands-on approach to the coding itself. Automating these processes can lead to many potential use cases and applications. What Can An aNFT Do? There is...
