INO stands for — Initial NFT Offering

You are welcome.

Edit: My search must have been low quality that's why couldn't find it  :-X

Well I just did a search and so many results are showing up from as far as Feb 2022  ;D

What makes me wonder is that since NFTs are technically Tokens, why don't they just simply call them Initial Token Offerings? It's just another form of rebranding to fool gullible investors.

I even got an article on Q4 2021 on the first page by just type "INO crypto" on google search.

I think it will mix both fungible token and non-fungible token if you're just call Token instead of NFT.

There's another article I found INO is stand for Initial Node Offering
https://decbc.com/ino/

I have ever heard that before. Some projects like kingspeed was using it. Kingspeed was a failed project. INO was not so good. that's why many NFT projects prefer to use minting mechanism rather than INO. There are some projects were also using ISNO as well.
This word was not booming. The developers didn't interested to use such way to raising the funds from the investors. They still prefer to use token mechanism to raise the funds rather than NFT.

There are so many articles about INO on google.  :D

I know why it's not booming. There's no originality, it's not fresh, it had been used before and failed most of the time. Yes, ICO.  :D
Basic "NFT" should be enough. Investors are not stupid to misunderstand the need to buy something before they start the program.
It had always been that way. If you want faster profits, buy it, take the high risk.
As I seen in my experience most of those who did pay enough reaped their rewards earlier than those waiting for NFT airdrops.
Games or just the basic application. Invest early and you will be paid higher as long as it's a legitimate project.

Is that it? this term has been in use for quite some time now so how do you figure it won't be on google search yet! i don't think you try to search that word before posting otherwise you would have seen it's already available and among the first 10 results that will come up when you use the search word "what is INO". Anyways, thanks for the great discovery.  ;)

Thanks!

I haven't heard about this but if there's another craze that will be built up next to NFT and ICO/IEO then this is it. A combination of them.

It seems that there's a platform already for this and what it needs to be done is to be promoted so that many people would see that there's another mania.

Is NFT initial offering really a thing?  Seems like the ultimate ponzi if you ask me.  Nfts with crappy are and do little to nothing in tes of providing anything that already isn't in the market now.  Can someone explain to me why people continually pile money into nfts other than hoping someone else buys it for more than they did?  Serious question.

Quite weird that I had never heard of this yet lately although the term was already written in Coinspeak.
Is this going to be another hype around projects just like IEOs and ICOs? Seems like those two letters "I" and "O" are the common term now for newer trends for projects, lol

The reason because

90% Most of the NFT use a mint system connected to the smart contract rather than a sale. To be honest this kind of definition is always have something new since you just change a middle name/meaning.

Not really surprise at all.

I googled it too and it did show tell me what INO is? You probably just google INO and didn't show anything because INO isn't a trend yet and people don't go around looking for INO. Use other crypto related keywords and you will get the result you were looking for.

So what is this post about? What are you trying to say here?

Having heard of it and also myself, I have speculated that it will also be hyped over time by some platforms promoting it. But like many new approaches to projects that I know of, only a few work, and they lose the benefits they're being valued for. These days, new images are always appearing and exaggerated, so I am not too optimistic about this approach. But I would also be happy to see that at that stage, there's a lot more to it than the market's rebound.

As you mention it is just a form of rebranding, the term NFT has become loaded and now a great deal of people think of them as scams, in a way similar to what we saw with icos back then, so scammers and other people that stand to gain a lot of money out of this are thinking about how to offer the same useless tokens but with a marketing spin so it seems like a new and revolutionary concept, and this is the best they could come up with.

You mean can't find?

I've heard a lot about it in the past when NFT-related trends exploded, but honestly, like many of the niches surrounding it, I see more bullshit than effective solutions. Even with the nature of NFT, today's users do not really understand its full effect. It is simply created and sold. It is combined with different forms of exaggeration to seduce those who do not know they are investors. Looking back, ICO, IEO, IDO,... all had their own successes and failures, and I believe the same is true for INO.

It is blockchain where there are millions of opportunities and nft, metaverse are among the many new innovations that will emanate from this technology. i don't see any bullshit with nft even though many crypto enthusiasts don't seem to understand the concept yet. And just like 90% of different projects we have in blockchain especially from the alts yet people still support them despite their lack of concept and clearity. Rember there is no success without failure. Many important projects came out to the light as a result of ICO, IEO, IDO, IGO..... and the trend will not stop with nft or INO, more great ideas that will be useful will keep coming up.

Metaverse seems to quiet down for a while. Not sure if the hype died or it is just that I am not that quite active at all in these trends. There is no BS with NFTs. it is just getting covered with these rug pulls and scams as well as stupid misconception about NFTs.
Many are misinterpreting what NFTs are.

It's good for you to still see the opportunity in such a positive light. For me personally, as I mentioned earlier, exaggerating trends too much makes the market move in the worst direction possible. Not the other way around. After each experiment with the markets and users, the trends gradually lose their position and become harder to come back stronger, and that is bullshit, if it is fair to say here, is a superfluous of imagination when there are tons of projects that just copy each other and give out. Users or investors always suffer more from such navigation, but it is also very beneficial to see some of the projects that bring about huge successes.

This is my first time hearing it and I just searched it on google too. He is referring to a new term, INO (Initial NFT Offering), just a variation, a new form of fundraising and possibly an alternative to the recent IEO, IDO, IGO trends.

It is common for bull cycles to be accompanied by new trends. With the emergence of INO, hopefully we will soon see a bull market emerge in the market.

Yeah, I guess not everyone is familiar with the terms.

And if you search for it, there are already platforms offering this like (https://accubits.com/initial-nft-offering-platform/).

Could be the latest, but just like it's predecessors of ICO->IEO hype. Still the same crowdfunding, looking for early bird investors willing to shell out their money and support NFTs.

What's IGO?

Yes, INO is a rebranding of the previous concept to increase community trust in NFT because previously many NFT scam projects, so they might speculate that the popularity of NFT still has the potential to increase due to the involvement of artists, athletes, and top influencers involved in launching NFT in the marketplace, so they will manipulate the new trend to grow NFT with different terms.

Personally, I think NFT is still growing and will take a small part of the market. Many people suspect that the NFT trend is dead like ICOs, NFTs will grow even stronger, not only participating artists but many companies and corporations are looking to enter this field. I hope that in the near future, the term INO will become a new trend in the market, and if it does, NFTs will be extremely explosive in the near future.

My search results yielded: Initial Node Offering (INO) (first line), then followed by Initial NFT offering (INO). I have not heard or read about the abbreviation. I think the acronyms are ways of gaining more attention from the public, like IDO, etc. As people begin to search the term (INO), it will be more easier to find in Google.

It seems so since many naive investors are easily fooled by new names or tags in the market but it looks like this kind of rebranding didn't make it to the grand audience in short if fell short, probably because there are lots of scam NFTs that made investors have a second thought.


True that but I wonder why it didn't become popular like any other crowdfunding terms out there.

Derived from ICO and all other forms are also fundraising. they don't have too much of a difference and are just rebranding.

Not all new fundraising terms or forms will become universal. There are also a lot of fundraising methods that we don't know about because they are not as popular as STO(security token offering). This is quite an old term but it seems that it is not yet popular and has not become a real trend in the market.

The concept of NFTs is novel and when I first heard about it I thought it had some potential, but it happened what it always happens in this market, scammers took advantage of it and a bunch of useless NFTs flooded the market and suddenly a market with potential became nothing but yet another opportunity for scammers to get more victims, we will have to wait and see if the NFT market ever recovers, but I find this difficult as many people lost their money and people are not going to forget about it so easily.

I did my Google research and I found a lot of information on INO stands for — Initial NFT Offering, maybe it has something to do with the keywords you've used, but thanks anyway for creating a thread about this new crowdfunding, it is something new to all of us and we will anticipate any new projects doing INO now, NFT has gone a long way we know have new crowdfunding based on NFT I wonder if this will gain support from the investing community, we'll see.

It's a way to differentiate that they are selling tokens based on NFT if they just call this funding ICO, investors will not take interest but since they are riding on NFT hype they create a new name for their crowdfunding, this is the first time I read about this  Initial NFT Offering, developers are good at creating new term for their crowdfunding to make it sound new but you are right they are rebranding it to entice gullible investors, but like the saying where the hype is, that's where the money is.

Maybe to newbies but there's no difference between a token and a Non-Fungible Token and I am pretty sure the so-called INOs won't live up to the hype given that they have already been talked about for a while now.

What's so special about this title? It's a regular public NFT sale, there were a lot of them in 2021, and in 2022 they continue to appear almost every day. There are a lot of them through discord where you are asked to sign up, get a role, then have a balance in your wallet and get access to buying NFT. Then, when the project appears on some marketplace, floor price rises and you can sell this NFT at a profit, because it cost much lower on the marketplace. The scheme is the same as for all the other IDO, IEO, etc., just called something else.

Cryptocurrency market is full of pitfalls, besides bitcoin, I can tell you all the other trends in the market besides real projects there are scam projects, they always exist together.  Not only does the NFT have scam projects, but any trend that comes to prominence will be an opportunity for scammers to fish silently. That's why we always say it's never wrong to invest in knowledge. If it's not NFT but another trend, there's no guarantee that trend won't be a scam.

IGO is an acronym that stands for Initial Gaming Offering. According to my memory, the term was introduced at the end of October 2021, when the play-to-earn industry was booming. It seems that the term quickly fell out of favor as the market began to fall in November. But like we said, whatever it changes its name to they are just a form of fundraising, the renaming is just an excuse to reset the market.

Right on point. I think people should search the history before diving into the crypto world.
Talking about the so called initial NFT offering people shouldn't forget how the ICO era ended.
Lots of shit projects emerged in the ICO era only to have a tragic ending.
The same will happen with INO as well. They might start good but there are lots of shit projects already.
Most of the INO projects will fail abruptly.

That should be a must but when your average newbie thinks they can invest a dollar and become a millionaire in a month then there is almost no way to convince them that what they believe is not true, the only way they will ever accept this is by the market showing to them they were wrong, and even then there are some people which are so stubborn that they are not going to believe this, even if in the process they lost every single dollar they had on their bank accounts.

that's not surprising, the essence of all these trends is the same, the fact that they've just been renamed and nothing new or different, "old wine in a new bottle"

everything is a temporary trend in the market and it will go bad quickly so be the first or you should stay away from them all,

 as everything will fail in the end.

Yes, never heard of it, and why would an NFT need an Initial Offering, NFT is a collectible so you buy the NFT and the dev wont develop anything out of it. Making ICO is like when you selling a stock and then you promise something to the Investor, NFT is like an art, so INO doesn't really make sense for me.

Shouldn't be more like "new wine in old bottle" since older the wine the better it tastes.
But anyway, point being that all these ICO, ITO, IEO, INO etc... are all same shit different trend.
I have pretty much missed all of them and never became early to invest in it.
But I am happy not to lose money in these so called offerings.

I don't think he didn't describe the use of the term, but he meant to say put the same wine in a new bottle, the contents will never be different except the packaging.

All the above trends are only interested in ICO, I want to go back to their heyday to get involved with many potential ICO projects because many investors get high profits, but the latest trends will not benefit investors because of the big problem about scammers have been involved in every new trend.

I can say that NFT is a new concept that is still being studied and perfected so that it has not been able to carry out public sales like ICOs. This is also because the concept of NFT itself is very different in function from crypto coin assets. But I don't think it will happen in the future.

It is my belief that after it creates hype and attracts investors, it will appeal to you as well. because we are here to make a profit, so don't be in a hurry to make a decision.
Currently, it's still a new concept in the market and I still don't see any projects from this form being launched.

not impossible in the future INO will be published. Considering ICOs can always be interesting variations such as IEOs. It's just that at that time what was on public sale was NFT. But if there is, it seems that the scarcity of NFT will decrease, because usually the better the NFT, the more expensive the price, while public sales are always open at a price below the market.

It could happen in the future if the NFT industry would boom again. We'll see how their developments could pursue after the bearish market. NFTs could innovate and emerge in the future yet it still has a lot to prove since lots of NFT projects before have failed. In the current situation that we have right now, I don't think INO projects will succeed.

A public sale of NFTs would look like auction bids. People place their bids for rare NTF, a ticket-based system where everyone might have a chance to join in the bid. A lot of things mix between normal NTFs trade and ICO to make INO. That's my take the chance for INO to succeed depends on what kind of NFTs are being offered.

The NFT market will most likely to keep existing, however due to their nature it is way more difficult to promote them if we compare them for example to meme coins, so while I still think there are going to be a lot of people willing to speculate with them the NFT market will never recover and be as big as it was, as people are going to remember all the money they lost and newbies are not going to be interested in NFTs anymore, because once the bull market comes another type of coin will capture their imagination and will absorb most of the hype at that time.
