Microsoft dips Teams in the metaverse vat with avatars ahead
Microsoft Teams users are getting more ways to express themselves to other participants on those increasingly frequent video calls. Redmond is continuing to add features that enable users to change the look of their environments during video meetings, from blurring the background to putting shots of scenic vistas behind them. Teams users now are getting more filters to add colorful animation to the screen or change the hue of the video. The visual effects filters, which were put into public preview in January, are being made generally available this month. And for those who just want to turn off the camera and get off the screen during video conferences, Microsoft starting in May will be rolling out 3D avatars that will give other participants something else to look at instead. Video conferencing was already on the rise, but the COVID-19 pandemic almost overnight ramped demand.

Solana-based NFT website Formfunction to shut down on March 29
Formfunction, an NFT marketplace platform on Solana, will shut down its website on March 29, about a year after the project raised $4.7 million in a seed funding round. Creators on the platform have been advised to delist their items before March 29. Formfunction launched in February 2022 to support “one of one” NFT creators on Solana. Formfunction said it has supported more than 4,000 creators on its platform and that 60% of them had made at least one sale, with over 600 earning at least $1,000. The website added that 70 creators had earned more than $10,000 each during its run. Despite these successes and the $4.7 million fundraising, Formfunction is shutting down. The March 15 announcement did not give reasons for ending the project, but called the decision “extremely difficult.” Formfunction CEO Katherine Liu thanked team members for their efforts in a statement issued on Wednesday.

Origin Protocol Considers Subsidizing OGN Rewards After Joining NFT Royalty Wars
The protocol is moving toward backstopping its OGN staking program with ether (ETH) and OGN subsidies funded by its budget, according to a governance proposal poised to pass on Tuesday. The action is designed to combat a short-term shortfall in the fee revenue that usually supports Origin’s popular yield program, which currently holds 11% of all OGN tokens. At press time, Origin’s website dashboards showed the protocol’s rewards pools for both ETH and OGN were fully depleted, indicating there were no tokens available to pay out to OGN stakers. With hours left in the voting, the subsidies proposal appeared likely to pass. At press time, 27 holders of Origin’s OGN tokens had voted over 1 million tokens in favor of passage, and none against. At least three participating addresses were associated with employees of Origin Protocol. Together, they comprised over 50% of the voting power.

Ethereum Staking Provider Lido to Incorporate NFTs Into Unstaking Process
Lido, the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol by total value locked, unveiled plans during its Node Operator Community Call #5 to release a non-fungible token (NFT) representing a user’s withdrawal request amount as part of the process of unstaking their ether (ETH). These withdrawals will be enabled after the Ethereum blockchain undergoes its next major upgrade. Ether withdrawals on Lido, where users can unstake their stETH and receive ETH at a 1:1 ratio, will have two steps: request and claim, according to Mariya Muzyko, product manager at Lido, during the call Tuesday afternoon. Once a user requests a withdrawal, they will receive a Lido-issued NFT representing their withdrawal request. The user can then use the NFT to claim their ETH rewards. The NFT is burned after the user redeems and claims their ETH. Lido was the first to provide access to liquidity to ETH holders who wanted to stake their tokens by issuing a derivative token, stETH.

The Rolling Stones one-of-one NFTs that aren’t NFTs
Instead of calling the limited edition NFTs, which accompany vintage, real-life photo slides, the companies handling the drop are calling them Digital Certificates of Authenticity, or DCOAs. The strategy follows recent trend to avoid using NFT terminology when launching a collection of digital collectibles targeting mainstream consumers. The companies managing the drop, OneOf and Globe Entertainment, are using the term Digital Certificate of Authenticity, or DCOA. The trend of companies shying away from calling digital assets or tokens with utility NFTs in favor of more generic terminology like digital collectibles appears to be gaining momentum, especially when geared towards mainstream consumers. A recent promotion for a Nicolas Cage vampire movie, Fox Entertainment using tokens as loyalty passes for fans of its show “Masked Singer,” and Reddit's avatars are all examples of NFTs being issued without using the term itself. NFTs have come to carry a negative connotation for many as scandal and major price deterioration have plagued the digital-assets market, causing some people to sour on the once hot space.
