Each DTP is unique, but their traits fall under different rarity levels: common, uncommon, rare, super rare,…

Before the WAX blockchain was established, its developers used Ethereum to launch VGO, a decentralized app for gaming skins back in 2018. Unfortunately, the network experienced a massive increase in usage, pushing transaction fees higher than the average person could afford, nearly killing the project.
