Afterwords to The Conference.NFT: A real phenomenon in today’s digital world that are here to stay

The Conference.NFT took you on a deep online dive into the world of NFTs on June 17 where everyone could enjoy hours of unique presentations, hot panel discussions, and encouraging debates. Because of the global pandemic, we had to hold the conference online. But as we are already into the digital remote mode, what can be more safe and comfortable, huh?

Firstly, we would like to thank our incredible speakers for making this event so fantastic. Representatives of the most progressive and industry-leading companies on the market: The Sandbox, Consensys, Waves, Netflix, Niftygateway, and other well-known companies shared their outstanding presentations, joined inspired discussion panels, and answered your curious questions.

Moreover, The Conference.NFT wouldn’t have been even imaginable without sponsors: remarkable support provided by NFTmall and Oraichain made sure that the conference succeeded even in such trying times. Our team is so thankful to them for making everything happen.

What happens when some NFT artists, marketplace developers, and investors are brought together? They start a heated discussion about the current landscape of the NFT market, how to create and sell your first NFT, and the rules of doing so. The NFT market is exploding with dozens of monetizing opportunities. How do you keep your art authentic and what should you learn from the art world to succeed? Our participants discussed these issues and gave some tips.

SECTION III

Moderator: Guy Maevsky
Participants: Daud Zulfacar (License.Rocks), Gordon Einstein (CryptoLaw Partners), Andrew Bull (Bull Blockchain Law).
Presentations:
“NFT legal trends” – Guy Maevsky
Legal implication of NFTs is a trending topic today. What are the risks? How to stay safe? What are you exactly buying when buying an NFT? And what does basic legal stuff include? Our speakers have discussed everything about the legal state of NFTs as a part of the crypto ecosystem.

This was an extremely useful event with tons of important insights from the speakers. More than 1,000 people watched the conference online. Additionally, the full recording is available on our YouTube channel.
We highly appreciate all the speakers, sponsors, media partners, moderators, and viewers for joining The Conference.NFT no matter what. We’ve all proved that NFTs are a real phenomenon in today’s digital world that are here to stay.

Thank you for all your support and attention!

What is an NFT marketplace, and how does it operate?

A non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace is like any other bazaar where goods are bought and sold: it’s a place where buyers meet sellers and NFT wares are arrayed and stored. Users can either buy tokens at a set price or bid for them at an auction.

Because an NFT marketplace is, well, digital, there must be a mechanism in place that regulates transactions. This is where smart contracts come into play – self-executed transaction protocols that facilitate trades between users. 

While some NFT marketplaces are centred around one particular industry (digital art, for instance), others offer a range of NFTs: everything from in-game collectibles to web domains and trading cards.

From signing up to cashing out

If you’ve never used an NFT marketplace, don’t worry: the process is incredibly simple. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide.

  • Sign up on an NFT platform
  • Select your preferred digital wallet
  • Browse NFT listings, including items sold at a fixed price and those listed in an auction
  • Make a bid or click to buy an NFT of your choosing
  • If budding an auction, you will be notified when/if you are outbid – just like eBay
  • When an item is purchased, the platform will facilitate the transaction.
Meet leading NFT marketplaces at our event!

At The Conference.NFT, we shine a spotlight on NFT marketplaces. 

Including:

KnownOrigin: an artist-led platform where digital creators can authenticate, exhibit and sell their NFT artwork. With visions of becoming a wholly community-owned platform, the Ethereum-powered marketplace aims to bring NFTs and DeFi to the masses while incentivizing artists the world over.

The Sandbox: an engaging metaverse where players can play, construct, own, and govern a virtual world of their own creation. Ethereum-based LAND tokens entitle users to populate digital terrain with games and assets while the SAND utility token is used to buy and sell LAND and ASSETS.

Async Art: a blockchain-based platform where artists and musicians can tokenize programmable digital art/music into layers. A collaborative space, Async Art is a cutting-edge portal that aims to create new experiential NFTs.

Nifty Gateway: the premier gateway to the world of NFTs, Nifty enables users to buy, sell, and store digital art and collectibles in the form of Nifties, the platform’s pet name for limited-edition NFTs under its umbrella.

Hopefully, by this point, you’re feeling a little more au fait with the beguiling world of NFTs. There are now numerous NFT marketplaces to choose from, representing an expanding ecosystem for budding digital artists and collectors. We will be discussing the present and future of NFTs on the 17th of June at our leading NFT conference – book your place today!
