Approx. 20 NFT tokens – inimitable, non-counterfeit digital files with a certificate of authenticity with artists' works – will be available for purchase on April 6 in Warsaw at the first auction of this type. Works in the classical form will also be auctioned, incl. Zdzisław Beksiński and Roman Opałka.
"The NFT token (non-fungible token) is an inimitable, technically unchangeable, and unhatchable digital file. It is a confirmation of the uniqueness of digital items in a register called a blockchain. The NFT token is a certificate of authenticity in itself, we want to generate it based on a specific work of art, we have to have the artist's permission, signed contracts, so this is the whole process,” Samanta Belling, the originator of the Diamondscraft platform and a board member of NFT Art, explained.
"It is such a natural evolution of a certain type of collecting – from real to virtual and we were the first in Poland to dare to show these new collecting opportunities. There are more and more people who have great collections on their wallets such as MetaMask, actually collecting it moves to the virtual world and it is also an excellent investment that can bring big financial returns,” Belling added.
