Supplementary notes
The art and collectibles segments are defined as follows:
Art: – Art-related NFTs and collections created by artists or by generative art algorithms. NFT collections of type "10,000" were not considered as art NFTs but as collectibles.
Collectibles: NFT projects whose main function is to be collected. These include avatars or profile pictures (PFP) and any type of digital object. Such collectible assets can have many uses, including being part of a community or being used for video games.
