NFTs: From Digital Hype to the Foundation of a New Era of Digital Property Rights
As the digital world rapidly expands, one question stirs excitement and skepticism: Are NFTs just hype, or the foundation of a new digital economy? The answer is becoming clear—NFTs offer more than

When we realized the potential web3 had for the art sector, we knew
@art2actofficial
had to pioneer this movement. We started building in that direction and never looked back. Web3 will be the future for most artists, and we will pave the way for that.

A. The inconsistency between narrative and purpose. There are two reasons why community building is in such high demand:
1) There are more communities than ever
2) A good community builder can give a sense of belonging even if there is no sense of purpose

Web3 is full of amazing people, idealists and builders that envision better models. Ask yourself: is there a social purpose/need being fulfilled? Is there a fair circular flow? What is the value being created? Why are you part of this project/community?

We all want to belong, it's human nature. However, we need to differentiate belonging from being used. The space is plagued with old dynamics with new masks. In the past months, we've seen rug pulls and ponzis in almost every type of project, damaging the overall community.

Our purpose is to empower artists, and web3 makes it possible in different ways that are part of our value proposition and that we've been teaching in educational institutions (e.g.
@labasad

@UnivdeCoimbra
). Our purpose is to help the community and web3 facilitates it.

However, IMO, there are big blockers in achieving the paradigm shift many of us know web3 can bring. I am going to focus on 2 of them:
A. The inconsistency between narrative and purpose
B. Short-term vision

Who loses most in these scenarios? The community, always. The main catalysts for web3 to succeed and create fairer models. The solution is to join forces with purpose-driven people and focus on education.
@zachxbt
@Darrenlautf
are great examples of how to educate and empower.

Many are using narratives to make life-changing revenues at the expense of the community. Taking value from the community is not Creating Value for the community. Narrative vs. Purpose. Beware of how misleading they can be. Look for depth and fundamentals.
Help each other :)

NFTs are an amazing inclusive tool to create culture and a deeper connection between all, we need to keep creating solutions with this technology.
There is something really special within web3, which is the power of the community and the social dynamics that go alongside it

With web3, our generation was offered a technological breakthrough that can change the status quo in many ways. It is up to us how we use it, how we disseminate it and how we apply it to comply with these aspirations.

Sometimes is so clear to see a unique voice. For me is one of the most beautiful things about art, if it's done without fear, it should be as unique as you.

At

we believe that the future art sector should be:
Accessible to everyone
Decentralized and sustained by communities
Thinking and supporting globally, while acting locally to enlarge audiences
Let's breakdown this down further

Purpose is not just a nice word, it defines who we are and where we are headed. Purpose should focus on enabling success, and it should be clear for the community how this can be possible. Saying and doing are very different things, focus on the ones that are doing.

Is web3 the technological breakthrough that can facilitate this redesign?
It can facilitate processes towards it, giving the flexibility to distribute value in efficient ways, with transparency, reinforcing the community scrutiny and that value is going where it's intended.

Our vision is to think and support the sector globally, but generate value and structure to act locally. When we think about our local environment, I think very few of us can say we are surrounded by artists, art lovers or collectors.

In the traditional art sector, the general audience is HNWI. Few decide the market and what is worth attention. With web3, we’ve seen the start of a paradigm shift, with new collectors and the growing importance of community voice. That’s really amazing, but it needs scaling

B. A short-term vision.
Real change takes time. A lot of people want big rewards in the minimum time possible, but this is an illusion created by few. Fundamentals are key for sustainable and life-changing growth. Take a look at this Mckinsey report:

Many communities of creators and collectors are born out of passion. Yet, many lack the professional know-how to create an efficient and sustainable circular flow of value. By changing this, we can build a bright and more extensive art market in audience and capitalization.

Accessible to everyone
We understand the boldness of this statement, but we know the diversity of artistic expressions. Many web3 users were unattached to art before they saw the impact of artists and communities. The script flipped and we have to keep doing that.

Being an artist in the US is very different from being one in Nigeria. Strong standard support functions are needed, but how can we mitigate location or niche-based needs? How can we provide a framework that solves standard and more complex needs for artists & collectors?

Decentralized and sustained by multidimensional and specialized communities.
Multidimensional to offer standard and transversal solutions to all creators and collectors, while acting as a link between all. Specialized, location or niche-based, to create targetted value.

Most local communities are unattached to new cultural developments. If we dedicate part of the value being created at a global level to develop local cultural initiatives, we will bring art closer to the general public, and extend and create more market.

Despair is a personal reinterpretation from Martin Desjardins sculpture. is a way of facing defeat.
I think we can all relate to despair in a memory of our lives. Our conscience has to grow to have the empathy to reduce suffering.
