Valorant’s Killjoy briefly enjoyed an NFT, but Riot says it was a ‘whoopsie’

Killjoy is one of Valorants most beloved playable characters, and its easy to see why: she is a genius, she looks cool, is from Berlin, and in a canny bit of cross-promotion, is a proven fan of League of Legends. She loves robots and has an overall cheerful personality. So far, so unimpeachable. That all came crashing down earlier today, when the German Valorant account tweeted an image of Killjoy enjoying some art. Thats bad, but it gets worse: the art was a work by Martin Houra, who distributes his work as NFTs.Heres the now deleted tweet, screengrabbed by a Twitter user:(Image…

Jillian C. York didn’t want to be a non-fungible token.
A Berlin-based author and activist, York is also the Director for International Freedom of Expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. For some reason – York doesn’t agree with her inclusion there – her name also appears on a list of so-called cypherpunks on Wikipedia.

The Law of Tokenomics, Revisited | Foley & Lardner LLP

Originally published on Jan 25th in Venture Beat. Reprinted with permission.

As the web further decentralizes based on blockchains, we are seeing new technology business models, particularly in the ecommerce sector, incorporate digital tokens into transaction flows by using digitally native tokens as a medium of payment for transacting on the platform. The boom in financial markets is also a cause-and-effect situation of decentralized financial applications as well as the tokenization of unique, or nonfungible tokens and assets, colloquially referred to as “NFTs,” whether tangible…
