Welcome to Web 3 with A6 and Z, a show about building the next generation of the

Internet from the team at A6 and Z crypto. That includes me, your host Sonel. This show is for anyone, whether

developer, artist, community leader, startup entrepreneur, or other builder, seeking

to understand and go deeper on all things crypto and web three towards a decentralized community-owned

and creator-owned internet. Speaking of, this week's episode digs deeper into

NFTs, focusing especially on security and addressing also a few very common myths and

misconceptions along the way. It builds on a more basic NFTs explains episode

from 2021 on the A6NC podcast, which I ran previously, that includes

me and two close friends of A6 and C crypto breaking down everything you need or want to know

about NFTs, but it's separate from this one. In this episode, we go into specifics on what exactly is in the

NFT or around the NFT, what exactly is in the smart contract, and the and more before we dig into all the related security topics including some best practices at various levels and discuss the evolution of NFTs across applications and mediums, including dynamic

NFTs for art to identity to experiences.

Our expert guests in this casual hallway jam with me are two A6 and Z crypto team members, Michael Blau, an engineering partner at

A6 and C crypto, who spends his time between investing and also working on new protocols,

simulations, and tools.

For instance, he recently released after this episode was recorded,

as well as a tool that detects leap minting to fake provenance and ownership. immeas

as well as a tool that detects sleep minting to fake provenance and ownership.
