    <p>NFPrompt users have been alerted to a security breach that warns ‘a group of hackers’ gained control of wallets including the project’s treasury, ecosystem fund, and NFP token contracts.</p>
    <p>In response, the team states that it has “transferred all NFP’s smart contract ownerships to new addresses” as well as alerting the FBI and major exchanges.</p>
    <p>It also warns users against interacting with NFP from unknown sources, as funds “affiliated with the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Hack" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/hack.html">Hack</a>ers will be marked and forfeited.”</p>
    <p>The team hasn’t yet given details on the amount of funds stolen. The project’s <strong>docs don’t list contract addresses and indicate that audits are yet to be completed</strong>.</p>

    <p>According to data from CoinMarketCap, the NFP token is down 12% over the past 24 hours, though so is much of the market as bitcoin’s recent momentum began to reverse.</p>
    <p>Much of the hype around non-fungible tokens (NFTs) during 2021 surrounded its potential to empower artists to sell their work directly, skirting intermediaries and the perceived gatekeeping of the art world.</p>
    <p>Beeple’s <em>Everydays</em> sold for <strong>$69 million in March 2021</strong>, a record broken later that year by <em>The Merge</em>, which went for $92 million in December.</p>
    <p>NFPrompt allows for the same, but for “Prompt Artists” who, rather than create the art themselves, can “mint their imagination” via NFTs of AI-generated imagery.</p>
    <p>The project was featured on Binance’s Launchpool, which allows users to stake assets in order to ‘farm’ new tokens, in December.</p>

    <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-nft-use-cases">NFT ‘use’ cases</h2>
    <p>Aside from art, proponents of NFTs have claimed a wide variety of ‘use’ cases, with varying levels of adoption.</p>
    <p>During the past crypto cycle, NFT-linked gaming looked to be developing into a promising sector, with popular play-to-earn Axie Infinity being the prime example.</p>

    <p>The game’s token AXS reached a market cap of <strong>almost $10 billion</strong> in summer 2021. The price of in-game currency Smooth Love Potion (SLP) is currently down 97% from its all-time high at around the same time.</p>
    <p>However, by far the most successful use of NFTs has been the collections designed as high-status profile pictures, such as Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Pudgy Penguins.&nbsp;</p>
