I know NFTs are controver= sial, but here's my take on them in Sapio:

https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/16/ad= vent-19/

If you don't like NFTs, don't worry: the res= ults and techniques are entirely generalizable here and can apply to many o= ther types of things that aren't stupid JPGs.

E.g.,

- If yo= u squint, Lightning Channels are NFTs: I have a channel with someone and I = can't transfer it to a third party fungibly because both the remaining = side and entering side want to know about the counterparty reputation.
- DLCs are NFTs because I want to know no= t just counterparties, but also which oracles.
- Colored Coins/Tokens, definitional= ly, are not NFTs, but fractional shares of an NFT are Colored Coins, so NFT= research might yield new results for Colored Coins.

Advancing the state of t= he art for NFTs advances the state of the art for all sorts of other purpos= es, while letting us have a little fun. This is a strong callback to=C2=A0<= a href=3D"https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/14/advent-17/">https://rubin.io/= bitcoin/2021/12/14/advent-17/ and=C2=A0https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/03/advent-6/= if you want to read more on why things like NFTs are cool even if JPGs are= lame.
