What is Jackdaw?
Is Jackdaw an NFT?
Jackdaw was created as a stand-alone cryptocurrency on the Ravencoin blockchain. Jackdaw by definition is not an NFT. Each of the 50 Jackdaw "coins" or "tokens" are worth the same as any other. Check out the Jackdaw Whitepaper to learn more.
What gives Jackdaw value?
Jackdaw is an experiment in digital scarcity (source: Internet Policy Review), a well researched subject currently being explored by many in the cryptocurrency space.
Jackdaw is limited to 50 tokens that were distributed to over 20,000 Ravencoin addresses, making it extremely limited and yet, widely distributed. It's likely that most holders will only ever own a fraction of a Jackdaw.
With Jackdaw, we elected for technology that allowed for a Layer 1 token backed by a Proof of Work UTXO model blockchain. This model makes Jackdaw completely auditable and immutable while maintaining security. We believe Ravencoin Asset technology adds security and value to Jackdaw's "decentralized scarcity" model. Check out the Whitepaper for more details.
With these factors combined Jackdaw has the potential to become a store of value by its own merit. No development or marketing team required. Learn more about some of the benefits that lead us to choose Ravencoin in this article.
