Game of NFTs

The Game of NFTs is a two-phase interchain event aimed at thoroughly testing and experimenting with the underlying Interchain NFTs (ICS-721) technology — an IBC module that will enable the secure, trustless and permissionless transfer of NFTs between blockchains.

This is a joint effort by the Interchain Foundation, Cosmos Hub, IRISnet, Stargaze, Juno, OmniFlix, Uptick, and many other talented teams across the ecosystem, with each providing different degrees of operational support or financial sponsorship for the event.

Phase 1 is a set of testnets across multiple IBC-connected chains — IRISnet, Stargaze, Juno, OmniFlix, and Uptick — designed to identify bugs and vulnerabilities, streamline validator operations related to Interchain NFTs and stress test the technology. This set of testnets began on Mar 1, 2023 and ended at the start of April 2023.

Phase 2 is this virtual, multi-chain hackathon — the first Interchain Hackathon, with 5 chains taking part, shaping the future of the interchain.
