• Title: What Determines the Price of NFTs?
• Authors: Vivian Ziemke, Benjamin Estermann, Roger Wattenhofer, Ye Wang
• Abstract summary: We analyze both on-chain and off-chain data of NFT collections trading on OpenSea to understand what influences NFT pricing. Our results show that while text and image data of the NFTs can be used to explain price variations within collections, the extracted features do not generalize to new, unseen collections.

• Abstract: In the evolving landscape of digital art, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have emerged as a groundbreaking platform, bridging the realms of art and technology. NFTs serve as the foundational framework that has revolutionized the market for digital art, enabling artists to showcase and monetize their creations in unprecedented ways. NFTs combine metadata stored on the blockchain with off-chain data, such as images, to create a novel form of digital ownership. It is not fully understood how these factors come together to determine NFT prices. In this study, we analyze both on-chain and off-chain data of NFT collections trading on OpenSea to understand what influences NFT pricing. Our results show that while text and image data of the NFTs can be used to explain price variations within collections, the extracted features do not generalize to new, unseen collections. Furthermore, we find that an NFT collection's trading volume often relates to its online presence, like social media followers and website traffic.

  Scene-level novel view synthesis (NVS) is fundamental to many vision and graphics applications. We create a large-scale scene-level dataset from Internet photo collections, called MegaScenes, which contains over 100K structure from motion (SfM) reconstructions from around the world. We analyze failure cases of state-of-the-art NVS methods and significantly improve generation consistency.

  We propose a Diffusion-based generation framework with Multiple Visual-Policies as rewards for NFT images. The proposed framework consists of a large language model (LLM), a diffusion-based image generator, and a series of visual rewards by design. Our framework can generate NFT images showing more visually engaging elements and higher market value, compared with SOTA approaches.

  Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) represent deeds of ownership, based on blockchain technologies and smart contracts, of unique crypto assets on digital art forms (e.g., artworks or collectibles) We propose MERLIN, a novel multimodal deep learning framework designed to train Transformer-based language and visual models, along with graph neural network models, on collections of NFTs' images and texts. A key aspect in MERLIN is its independence on financial features, as it exploits only the primary data a user interested in NFT trading would like to deal with.

  The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market experienced explosive growth in 2021, with a monthly trade volume reaching $6 billion in January 2022. Concerns have emerged about possible wash trading, a form of market manipulation in which one party repeatedly trades an NFT to inflate its volume artificially. We find that wash trading affects 5.66% of all NFT collections, with a total artificial volume of $3,406,110,774.
