WHY THIS DAY MATTERS

Why We Love International NFT Day

NFTs unlock new revenue streams

NFTs help creators monetize their work in ways they never thought possible. Through platforms like OpenSea, Rarible, CryptoKitties and others, creators can set up marketplaces to sell their work directly to buyers and earn commission on each transaction. They can also create subscription services or design limited edition runs of their products to generate additional income.

NFTs provide ownership and portability

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets that offer unique cryptographic proof of digital asset ownership. This allows the holders of these NFTs to demonstrate ownership of pieces of digital art, music, collectibles and more. NFTs are also portable so you can take your collection with you wherever you go.

NFTs bring commodities to life

Through NFT technology, physical commodities such as art can now be represented by a digital token online. This creates an immutable record for those works and makes it easier to prove their authenticity. It also provides transparency throughout the entire purchase process, eliminating fraud and protecting the consumer.
