NFT Marketplaces Now Requiring Proof You Were Born 'On-Chain': Why Your DNA Is No Longer Your Own, Says Wallet That Won't Look You in the Eye
SAN FRANCISCO — If you thought your NFT collection was just a digital collection of JPEGs, think again. Starting Monday, all major NFT marketplaces will require proof you were “born on-chain” before you can mint, sell, or trade any digital asset.
This means you’ll need to submit your birth certificate, show your social security number, and prove you were at least present at the blockchain’s genesis block to qualify as a “legitimate NFT holder.”
