Yep... they were the first ones to do it. Here's a list of all the NXT assets:

They even had plans to build DAOs (DACs in NXT-speak).

Apparently they are trying to do NFTs now:

The CMC links to trading on the NXT Asset Exchange (the world's 1st DEX) are dead, because the stats host page, mynxt.info, is also dead. RIP.

Yes! Still alive and theres still forger (miners). Not much activity or development compare to its upgraded version which is Ardor.

I haven't tried forging. You need to open your node all the time in the network just like mining POW Chains.

Jelurida Weekly Wins - 30 May 2022:

Lior comments about El Salvador’s Bitcoin play
This Cointelegraph article analyses whether the current drop in Bitcoin price and the crypto market volatility, in general, has somehow affected El Salvador’s strategy in the adoption of crypto assets as a legal tender and a store of value. Many blockchain and crypto experts stand in El Salvador’s favour and, among others, Lior Yaffe comments that the transition to Bitcoin as legal tender has been a strategic move to position the country as a local tech hub. The evaluation should be made in the long term, rather than on short-term price fluctuations. Besides, he's confident that in the bigger picture, a decentralised currency offers excellent benefits for small and emerging countries that may be struggling to support their local fiat.

Alberto mentioned in Forbes Spain & written press
The crypto market has begun an expected deflation, due to several factors that have affected the liquidity and confidence of the overall ecosystem. Alberto Fernandez, Jelurida blockchain expert, has been mentioned in this Forbes Spain article. He explains that two keys help avoid such a reaction mechanism when the market enters a downward cycle: the diversification and capital protection strategy. Referring to the UST and Luna crash, experts affirm that it’s not related to a failure of the blockchain technology, but rather poor planning of a specific project. Still, there are indeed scams within the crypto environment, thus three aspects must be considered: the business model offered by the whitepapers, the technical solvency and the proven experience of the project team, and the token economics if perfectly aligned with the initial business model. Alberto is also mentioned in the Spanish written press Inversion and Finanzas about “Lessons from the Terra collapse”.

Can NFT Games be fair? Bridge Champ & Play-To-Own model
Blockchain gaming is an exciting vertical in the crypto industry, and many developers are exploring new models to increase the appeal of games while maintaining the essence of online gaming: game fairness. Almost all Play-To-Earn games require players to purchase tokens or other digital assets to play, which increases the barriers to entry for new players and the concentration of wealth and assets in clubs, thus going against the decentralization spirit of the blockchain technology. For all these reasons, the Play-To-Own model remains the winning mechanism of P2E. Players will still be able to unlock rewards by levelling up in-game, and they’ll have new ways to apply these assets. This Chinese article by Deep Cloud Finance covers Bridge Champ for mastering the P2O model, as the world’s first online bridge game platform developed by Jelurida. In Bridge Champ, worldwide users can play with full transparency, all data are open and they can earn official IGNIS tokens while playing and showing excellent bridge skills.

Latest news Ardor.world Unicorn.art — 31 May 2022

Hi I can't seem to find a way to access the NXT Asset Exchange in the latest wallet. The documentation says that it should be on the sidebar in the official wallet but there's nothing there. Clicking on an asset doesn't do anything. The read-only wallet at https://nxt.jelurida.com/index.html doesn't seem to show it either. Is anyone else having this problem?

Nevermind, it seems to be working now.

However, it seems that the nxtportal.org block explorer stopped working. It says '502 Bad Gateway'

I still use one of its clones, NHZ, New HORIZON, which had to my mind a much fairer distribution mechanism.

But NXT itself I never had any use for and do not expect ever to have a use for it.

A major advantage of NHZ was that because of its distribution mechanism it was easy (cheap) to create lots of assets on it, whereas at the time NXT would have cost me something like $30 per asset to create all the assets I needed.
