Fireside Chat I Kartik Talwar and Benny Giang I Future of NFTs with EIP 6551
summary
Demo proves ERC-6551 gives every NFT a Token Bound Account so NFTs can hold tokens, sign transactions, and act as on‑chain agents; a live demo uses kitties.xyz, OpenAI API and tokenbound.org to show an NPC kitty performed an on-chain transfer—an NFT sent another NFT into the recipient NFT’s TBA and the receipt is verifiable on tokenbound.org. Standard is EVM‑compatible, works with ERC‑721/1155 across chains, and already has ~700 developers exploring tooling and NPC use cases.
