Today in NFT news: a team of developers reveal a new, experimental blend of ERC-20 and ERC-721 standards; Magic Eden launches its Ethereum marketplace in two weeks; and Deadfellaz creators, DFZ Labs, launch 10,000 Bitcoin Ordinals. 
<h2 id="following-erc-404-here-comes-dn404">Following ERC-404, Here Comes DN404</h2> 
 Following the recent launch of an unofficial <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/franklin-templeton-files-spot-ethereum-etf-application-with-the-sec.htm">Ethereum</a> standard <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/pandora-experimental-erc-404-standard-grabs-crypto-worlds-attention-more-nft-news.htm">ERC-404</a>, a different team of developers announced the launch of <a href="https://github.com/Vectorized/dn404">the ‘Divisible NFT’ standard (DN404)</a>. 
Developer “cygaar” <a href="https://twitter.com/0xCygaar/status/1757136657286119916">announced</a> the launch of DN404, calling it “a hybrid ERC20/721 token.” <a href="https://github.com/Vectorized/dn404">Per</a> GitHub, it is an implementation of a co-joined ERC-20 and ERC-721 pair. 
The team also includes vectorized.eth, quit, 0xjustadev.eth, michaelamadi.eth, and Pop Punk. 
Some may argue that these hybrid tokens are nothing more than ERC1155s with extra flair. 
I argue that having NFTs that can trade on NFT exchanges as well as DEXes is a new unlock that we haven't seen before. Native fractionalization adds more liquidity to NFT projects.

<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/pandora-experimental-erc-404-standard-grabs-crypto-worlds-attention-more-nft-news.htm">Pandora’s ERC-404</a> combines the popular ERC-20 (token standard) and ERC-720 (NFT standard). “The premise of ERC404 was to create a single contract that can act as both a fungible and non-fungible token. However, this can’t be done without introducing exploits and breaking standards,” cygaar wrote. 
The DN404 team’s approach is to have two contracts: a “base” ERC-20 with a “mirror” ERC-721. 
Most trading will be done on the base contract, cygaar explained. The base contract is a fully compliant ERC-20 token. It tracks user balances and handles the minting/burning of the mirrored NFTs, said the developer, adding: “You can think of these tokens as fractions of the NFTs.” 
These are compatible with decentralized exchanges (<a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/jupiter-price-prediction-as-jup-drops-70-from-recent-top-time-to-buy-the-dip.htm">DEXes</a>). 
Meanwhile, the mirror contract acts as a standard ERC-721 token. All its functions are fully compliant and can be used with any protocol that supports ERC-721s. 
Introducing DN404: a solution to the critical issues arising from the newly popular "ERC404" tokens. 
Huge shoutout to the all-star team who has worked around the clock for days to make this a reality:<a href="https://twitter.com/0xQuit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@0xQuit</a><a href="https://twitter.com/0xCygaar?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@0xCygaar</a><a href="https://twitter.com/optimizoor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@optimizoor</a><a href="https://twitter.com/0xjustadev?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@0xjustadev</a><a href="https://twitter.com/PopPunkOnChain?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PopPunkOnChain</a><a href="https://twitter.com/AmadiMichaels?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AmadiMichaels</a>

Developer Quit further <a href="https://twitter.com/0xQuit/status/1757169140354167277">noted</a> that DN404 has not been through the EIP process. Therefore, “we are not calling it a standard.” 
Moreover, Cygaar reminded readers that DN404 is not a project, and there are no tokens for sale. The team has just released open-source code for other projects to build hybrid tokens. 
The code has not been formally audited, and the team is not liable for any exploits. 
What an overwhelming amount of support on the DN404 release today. 
A few things: 
1) The collective team did not launch any collections. Any project that’s named DN404 is not us. 2) The DN404 repo has a few template smart contracts for you to start with. These will expand.

Magic Eden and <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/yuga-labs-plans-part-ways-with-opensea-nft-marketplace-following-royalty-model-change.htm">Yuga Labs</a> <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/magic-eden-and-yuga-labs-unveil-ethereum-nft-marketplace-to-protect-creator-royalties.htm">announced</a> the Magic Eden Ethereum Marketplace in November last year. The two companies said that this would become the first major Ethereum marketplace with <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bored-apes-creator-yuga-labs-magic-eden-collaborate-fix-nft-royalties-problem-whats-going-on.htm">a contractual obligation to uphold creator royalties</a>. 
The new marketplace will be powered by Payment Processor, a marketplace protocol developed by Limit Break. 
“Limit Break’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of web3 technology has paved the way for us to collaborate on safeguarding creator royalties and fostering future innovation,” Magic Eden said. 
We're thrilled to announce that our upcoming Ethereum marketplace will be powered by Payment Processor: a robust marketplace protocol developed by <a href="https://twitter.com/limitbreak?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@limitbreak</a>. When compared to protocols like Seaport, our marketplace will reduce gas fees by at least 6% and up to 40% for many… <a href="https://t.co/ewcf0M58GP">pic.twitter.com/ewcf0M58GP</a>

<h2 id="deadfellaz-creators-launch-10-000-bitcoin-ordinals">Deadfellaz Creators Launch 10,000 Bitcoin Ordinals</h2> 
 In other NFT news, DFZ Labs, the creative studio behind the Deadfellaz NFT collection, is launching its own <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bitcoin-ordinals-will-play-a-pivotal-role-in-2024-more-top-nft-news-2.htm">Bitcoin Ordinals</a>. 
On Tuesday, February 13, the team launches its unique ordinals collection on the <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/first-of-its-kind-nft-centric-wallet-by-magic-eden-set-to-transform-digital-collecting-nfts-making-a-comeback.htm">Magic Eden</a> marketplace. It is called Bits and comprises 10,000 pixel characters inscribed by Ordinals Bot. 
Per the press release shared with Cryptonews, what’s coming is “a new independent brand focused on “Bringing Indie <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/wemade-south-korean-web3-game-developer-reports-widening-losses-in-q4-2023.htm">Gaming</a> to BTC.” 
“Bits sets out to build a supercharged game development incubator, utilizing a roguelite game world at its core to house curated UGC content, while rewarding collectors and players – in a way never seen before,” the press release says. 
It’s dangerous to go alone, take Bits ._. <a href="https://t.co/DcXqiHEsvH">https://t.co/DcXqiHEsvH</a>

Bits focuses on a ‘Build to Win, Play to Enjoy’ model, the team added. Therefore, the community has the chance to contribute and earn rewards. Meanwhile, the team&nbsp;will continue creating an expanding immersive game. 
The game will be offered to a wider audience via traditional platforms, including Steam and consoles. 
The Bits founding team all come from within the Deadfellaz community. They will run Bits as its own flagship BTC IP under the DFZ Labs ecosystem but as an independent brand. 
Deadfellaz co-founders Betty and Psych serve as mentors and advisors. They will host a Twitter Spaces this Friday on the Bits and Deadfellaz accounts. Bits’ inscribing partner Ordinals Bot and BTC wallet Xverse will join the discussion. 
Meanwhile, DFZ Labs has allocated 500 air-drops of Bits for top Deadfellaz collectors and community contributors. 
In case you missed it, 500 <a href="https://twitter.com/Deadfellaz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Deadfellaz</a> collectors will be receiving a free <a href="https://twitter.com/BitsOrdinals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BitsOrdinals</a> airdrop following the mint on the 13th. Here is your checklist to make sure you’re ready: 
 Create an <a href="https://twitter.com/xverseApp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@xverseApp</a> wallet. Ensure you’re verified in the <a href="https://twitter.com/Deadfellaz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Deadfellaz</a> discord. Await…
