Access Protocol’s native token ACS soared by over 50% within 24 hours after the project revealed new use cases for collateral non-fungible tokens (cNFTs).

Access Protocol, a Solana-based protocol aiming to create a new way content creators can earn money, has introduced two new use cases for collateral non-fungible tokens in its latest version. The first improvement is that cNFTs can now be wrapped using Access Protocol’s native token ACS, enabling new possibilities for content distribution and monetization.

cNFTs, or collateralized non-fungible tokens, are a type of NFT that is backed by collateral. This collateral can be any digital or physical asset with value, such as crypto, real estate, or intellectual property rights. By collateralizing an NFT, its value is tied to the underlying asset.

In addition to the cNFT enhancements, Access Protocol has also rolled out reward-bearing cNFTs, providing users with opportunities to earn rewards through active participation in the platform. This move is aimed at incentivizing engagement and fostering community activity within the ecosystem.

According to the announcement, the latest update was made in collaboration with Metaplex, a Solana-powered protocol that allows for the creation and minting of non-fungible tokens, auctions, and visualizing NFTs.
