  2. I used to test NameSky’s platform since when it’s testnet stage & early beta stage, everything works perfectly all time. And, i may say that it’s really a groundbreaking & excellent tech.
    NameSky’s marketplace is not about just to create&reserve a beautiful NEAR names for the following resale at a higher price, as someone might think at the first look. This is just a small peak of iceberg. But the real power is that you can easily pass the ownership of NEAR account to smb else, a such easily as to sell one single NFT, including everything that the account contains: all tokens, smart contracts, shares&allowances in DeFis, accounts in socials&other sites where this minted as NFT account has been used earlier for a login&registration, and so on. This is reliable as NameSky fully deletes keys of the previous owner when mint account as NFT and creates a new keys&passphrase for a new owner when he redeem account from NFT. And this process if fully automated by NameSky’s smart contract, i.e. doesn’t require a deep tech knowledge from a user.
    A such opportunity opens a serie of a nice usecases. For example, a developer may code&deploy a smart contract by order of smb else, then after complete the job just pack into a single nft the NEAR account with his newly created smart contract, and then just simply sell it to employer. A simple & decentralized way to complete a work and receive a honest reward.
    As example of another usecase, i have minted an account which contains a Learner NFT (a membership card of LNC).
    Here it ishttps://namesky.app/learner_nft_gift.near
    You may just grant it to your friend or give to your referral as a promotion, and a newbie will join to LNC having a Learner NFT at account already, and enjoy by full perks of membership.

  3. It is a really cool and the most remarkable achievement by the NAMESKY team in the $NEAR blockchain. I have used several blockchain products from different chains. Still, till now I haven’t found any such products that literally allow users to sell their wallets without compromising their privacy and security except NameSky. Again all thanks to NameSky and its team for their hard work and creative dedication to bringing such a tool to the DeFi ecosystem. Especially building in the $NEAR chain one of the cheapest and fastest chains of all time. I have been part of the name sky project from day one and have also joined in previous beta testing of NameSky. Not only that I have earned some passive income by selling unique wallets in NameSky. Thanks to liaa.near for providing such a sweet and informative guide to use the Name Sky platform. All I can say to the NameSky team is to keep building and keep up with innovations for better DeFi in the future.

    1. For sure, NameSky project will have a great future because of it’s great use case.
      But do you know that anytime you may add anything to this Near account which you have minted as your Namesky Nft?
      The account is still live in blockchain as any other existing account despite it has been minted as NFT. So you may just send to it some more NEAR or any other tokens, or some NFTs. So, in this way you may increase the value of your Namesky Nft even much more.
