A NFT is a non- fungible token, the token is an object built on the Blockchain, non fungible means unique. This allows people to share, trade and transport these NFTs through the metaverse. The metaverse is a virtual universe in which all online resources and products, such as the internet, augmented reality, NFTs and more, are in a shared space. The electronic platform allows more opportunities for artists’ work to be seen and sold on a wider scale. Due to the blockchain, the artists also get a percentage of profits in the metaverse.
The 2lives movement was created with this technology, with the purpose to promote the world of NFTs to the population of Jersey. Being open to everyone, from those artists who hope to further their viewings and platforms to the general public who enjoy trading and collecting art. Our class had the amazing opportunity to attend a zoom call with the creators of 2lives, Francesco Vincenti and Claudia Runcio, over in Italy. Where we got the chance to hear first hand the importance of opening up the metaverse , promoting what can be a global community and asking any questions we had.
