Free TON developers unveil True NFT technology

The TON Surf and RSquad teams published the code for a new solution called True NFT.

The key differences of the technology are the storage of all data about NFT (including content) in the Free TON blockchain and the ability to search records about collections and tokens, as well as actions with them by sending standardised queries from smart contracts.

True NFT enables interaction with tokens in decentralised browsers and applications using a single blockchain address, or to send NFTs with only the recipient’s address.

According to the creators, the new technology should significantly ease trading and exchanging NFTs.

When True NFT is used, the token’s owner information is included in its original data, making it possible to locate it during search. The data is placed in a separate non-deletable contract, thereby forming a kind of search index that is recreated when ownership changes.

RSquad and TON Surf also introduced a set of additional smart contracts for searching NFTs and their owners, as well as for the main operations with tokens.

The creation of True NFT was made possible in part by the Free TON architecture, which envisages broad use of contracts. In particular, every address on the blockchain is a smart contract.

Several NFT marketplaces are already operating in the Free TON ecosystem, including GrandBazar.io and NiFi Club.

Tickets for the first anniversary of the Free TON mainnet launch were sold as NFTs.
