While cryptocurrencies experienced their fair share of ups and downs over the week, nothing is holding back the stratospheric rise of NFTs. As another busy week comes to a close, a lot has unfolded in the world of NFTs. Here’s a quick rundown of the top events of this week.

Bluzelle Revamps Itself to Overcome NFTs’ Critical Storage Problems

Bluzelle, the decentralized data network for dApps, undergoes a massive transformation to bring forth a new and updated version, Bluzelle 2.0. While it started as a decentralized database, the platform has added several new modules alongside a brand redesign.

To cater to the rising demand for tamper-proof, secure, and scalable storage for NFTs, Bluzelle 2.0, in collaboration with Mintable, has added file storage to its existing services. The new feature allows you to store NFT files over its decentralized network, replicating the files across several validator nodes, ensuring scalability, security, and availability.

Commissioned by an anonymous crypto OG who first revealed that Satoshi Nakamoto is not one but eight different individuals, the Br8ve NFT tells the story of Bitcoin. To bring the NFT to life, digital artist VESA spent five months converting it into digital artwork, followed by another six months of work by 3D maestro Frank Spalteholz and music composer Mighty33 to convert it into an exclusive VR artwork finally.

Currently the bid for the artwork is at $500,000, which is the highest bid thus far on the Terra Viruta marketplace.
