Superrare for Digital Art SuperRare For Digital Art Art has no restrictions, it can be a drawing, painting, sculpting or banana. Yes Banana, do you recall the banana found on the wall of the museum and the people found it wonderful and special art? Or the lost glasses that created the noise of art? Obviously, there are no limitations to art. Digital art is the art invading our era without our notice, it's that decorating our screens and digital life. For this reason,for the appreciation of digital art and encouraging artists, SuperRare was founded and it runs on cryptocurrency, a currency that suits the art form. SuperRare to date is using the cryptocurrency “Ether” of the Ethereum blockchain. However, some news declared that SuperRare crypto own token is going to be released this year. What is SuperRare? SuperRare is a social network and marketplace of rare and unique digital art. SuperRare promotes interaction and connections between digital artists and art enthusiasts. It allows artists to sell their work to collectors after issuing a token. SuperRare runs on the Ethereum blockchain, making ether the used currency for SuperRare crypto tokens, but airdrop is the expected form of the future SuperRare crypto tokens. SuperRare may have its own currency in the future, but it will still run on the Ethereum blockchain and will continue using a decentralized art NFT. What is nice about SuperRare, that it’s a place artists can trust and guarantee that no one can steal their art. SuperRare works with Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), when submitting an artwork to sell, the artwork is tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain, as a (NFT) based on ERC721 smart contract. After the art is linked to NFT and the latter become on SuperRare, NFT will act as verification for the ownership of digital art and represent it. In other words, the piece of art is turned into one unique special code which is NFT. Who Are The Founders Of Super Rare? SuperRare was founded in 2017 by John Crain, the Chief Executive of Pixura, Jonathan Perkins the Chief Product Officer of Pixure, and the Chief Technology Officer Charles Crain. Social Collecting NFT Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are tokens that represent arts, games or even digital cards, with each one being one of its kind. As its name indicates, it's non-fungible, which means they are not interchangeable, unlike Bitcoin. In SuperRare, NFT is an Ethereum token that is completely unique itself, exactly like the artwork. Collecting Super Rare crypto arts means you are collecting NFTs. As a collector you scroll in the ​ ​ platform activity feed, you can like SuperRare arts, follow artists and buy any NFTs you like with its listed price, or bid with your suggested one, thus collecting arts and NFTs. When you buy NFT using the accredited cryptocurrency for SuperRare crypto tokens, you have the right ​ ​ to resell or trade it legally to other collectors, because NFT preserves the rights of the original creator. Is SuperRare Safe To Trade NFT? NFTs in SuperRare use the ERC721 standard. ERC721 token is simply a smart token, but each ​ ​ ​ ​ one is special, no NFT can replace another one following this standard. Thus, by using the SuperRare ERC721 tokens, NFTs can be traded with no worries, because the original creator's ​ ​ ownership for the digital artwork is always preserved, even if this NFT traded to other platforms out of SuperRare. NFT tokens can be traded to other marketplaces like Opensea and Emoon that ​ ​ use the same cryptocurrency SuperRare crypto tokens use (Ether). ​ ​ Moreover, SuperRare adopts a non-custodial approach, which means they don’t control anything related to users. Only users can control their SuperRare crypto art associated with unique NFT ​ ​ no one can change it, thus ensuring a safer environment for trading NFTs. How To Use SuperRare Marketplace? What Do You Need to Know Before anything, you must have ether cryptocurrency, since it is the base gas fee for trading art on SuperRare crypto on the Ethereum blockchain. You have to buy this cryptocurrency, and deposit some in Ethereum wallet, you can do so through Coinbase, which facilitates buying cryptocurrency from your local currency. MetaMask is a browser plugin that acts as an Ethereum wallet, thus it’s necessary to have a MetaMask account or other similar browsers, to use and interact on SuperRare. MetaMask wallet facilitates NFT tokens based on ERC721 to be held, transferred, and received, ​ ​ ​ after connecting the wallet to the marketplace, you will only need to verify your email or phone to log in and then deposit some funds in it. You can use Superrare as a creator or collector, you can create your profile and portfolio to show your created artwork and authenticate each one with a unique NTF. As a collector you create your own gallery by collecting Super rare arts through purchasing and ​ ​ bidding, show your customized profile and art collections and resell it to the secondary marketplace and other collectors, using SuperRare crypto accredited token, ether. Steps to Start on SuperRare Here are some instructions to help you start on SuperRare, from starting one MetaMask Ethereum wallet till starting on SuperRare. ● Start by creating an Ethereum wallet, Metamask is the most recommended one, and sure you have to deposit some of SuperRare crypto used currency. ● If you are using Metamask, start by clicking on the fox icon that appears in your browser panel and create a new wallet by setting up a password and accepting their privacy policy. ● Now, like any account you need to create a backup. On your screen will appear a text of 12 words, they are very important to restore your account if you lost your password for example, anyway save them privately. ● Once you create your profile on Metamask, copy the Ethereum address to your clipboard and go to the SuperRare website. ● The first step on SuperRare is to connect your wallet, then create a profile (username and email), followed by sending MetaMask Ethereum address as an email to the SuperRare team, because it must be added first to the whitelist to create an account, sale, or buy NFTs As explained, fund your account with ether, and now you can either create and sell your artwork, or collect them and create a gallery. How To Bid For Art In SuperRare Marketplace? Once you’re connected to your wallet with SuperRare crypto accredited currency, you can purchase or bid on the artwork you would like to add to your collections. Bidding for SuperRare is very close to what happens in auctions. In auctions, antiques and rare pieces are displayed for sale, and the one who pays the highest price wins the piece. Who said that digital art is not rare and unique? When you enter the marketplace and start scrolling, thousands of SuperRare crypto artworks ​ ​ are displayed from many artists, once you click on the one that attracted you the most, you will notice two options, purchase (buy) or bid. According to the price of NFTs set, you bid with the reasonable price you want to pay for the artwork, after that the creator decides to sell you this work (NFT) or not. How Are SuperRare Tokens Produced? SuperRare tokens are produced on the blockchain Ethereum that, and as stated before, based on ​ the ERC721 standards. Every creator on SuperRare wants to submit his artworks; he must create ​ ​ a SuperRare token, NFT. ​ ​ Thus anyone with ether wallet, which SuperRare crypto tokens runs on,can purchase a token. But, artists can only publish their artwork on SuperRare and create a token for it. Artists have to fill the SuperRare application, its purpose to validate that the artwork you are willing to submit ​ ​ is original and created by you, that it not must be tokenized anywhere else on different marketplaces. Once the token is issued it will be archived on the Ethereum digital blockchain database, which documents all transactions and records all the exchanges or movements of goods and services. Worth mentioning that for a token to be produced it also charges fees of a small percentage. How To Sell NFT On SuperRare? If you are new to SuperRare and you don’t know how to sell your NFTs, follow these steps after creating a profile on each of MetaMask and SuperRare. Once you notice the SuperRare team confirms you are on the whitelist, you can go and start adding your first artwork to sell. ● To sell an artwork, it must be in one of the forms JPEG, PNG, GIF or MP4 and don’t exceed 50MB, add a name and description, add at least one tag and don’t exceed ten, set number of copies you wish to sell and the last step review the whole sections ● The most important part now, click on “issue token”, yes it’s the unique NFT of ERC721 standard that you can submit anything without getting it ● Agree to the three terms in the boxes and click “Begin Tokenization” ● A small screen will pop out which includes the transaction of Ethereum blockchain, with the total price in ETH, set a price and confirm ● Congratulations! Now you created an NFT token ready to sell ● In 3 to 5 minutes, your artwork will be displayed on your profile, and it is ready for sale ● Collectors can purchase directly the NFT or bid the price they well to pay, and it is up to you to choose a bid, to check bids, go to your profile and click on the “bids” button One last thing to mention, as any platform, you can promote your work to increase its reach and get higher chances to sell your SuperRare crypto art.

NFT Market Ecosystem Overview ConTEnT III. Major NFT Use Cases and the Bottlenecks IV. More NFT Applications NFT Industrial Development Report Q1 2021 NFT An NFT, i.e., Non-Fungible Token, cannot be divided, interchanged, or standardized. By contrast, an FT, i.e., Fungible Token, is interchangeable with other FTs and can be split infinite times. NFT and FT are blockchain-based technical protocol stan- dards in asset digitalization. In a wider context, NFTs also refer to the type of asset products with above features or the market itself composed of such type of assets. The NFT ecosystem took shape in 2020 and waged its first round of upsurges taking advantage of the DeFi boom. Since 2021, the NFT standard has been integrating with the traditional art finance, enter- tainment media, and other markets. Diverse forms of assets and promising application scenarios enable the ecosystem to keep expanding, showing an apparent spillover. Most of the current NFT applications are developed on Ethereum, leaving few market shares to BSC and other public chains that support NFT asset issuance and circulation. Overly high gas fees and network congestion on Ethereum have hindered the NFT ecosystem from developing steadily. The NFT ecosystem, therefore, starts to seek Layer 2 or sidechain solutions. For example, Polygon and other projects develop Layer 2 solutions to off-chain computational work; the platform-natured NFT project Sky Mavis is gradually migrating Axie Infinity into its sidechain Ronin; and Dapper Labs's CryptoKittie will also be migrated to Flow.

  • NFT Yearly Report 2020, Fresh from the Oven!
    NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS YEARLY REPORT 2020 FREE EDITION MARKET RESEARCH. TRENDS DECRYPTION. PROJECT REVIEW. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NFT ECOSYSTEM FOREWORDS The NFT Yearly Report 2020, fresh from the oven! The purpose of this report is to provide an overarching and detailed view of the Non-Fungible Token ecosystem during 2020. The exponential growth within the sector has been particularly impressive, especially given that the Crypto bear market was in full force during most of the early stages of development. There is little doubt that the loyal and tight knit groups who initially evolved around various NFT blockchain projects have since seen the contents of their wallets dramatically increase in value as the ecosystem evolved and NFT projects began to attract more and more outside and mainstream interest. This report is not meant for Non-Fungible experts but to help everyone in or outside the Non- Fungible Tokens ecosystem to better understand what is going on. What is the potential? Why should you care about NFT? 2020 has been an unprecedented year for most of the world's population, with many challenges to face, from a global pandemic and lockdown to political upheavals, riots and not to mention catastrophic natural disasters… we’ve had it all! In stark contrast and perhaps partially due to such turbulent global events, interest and investment in virtual economies and digital assets has boomed, more than ever seen before. Within the Non-Fungible Token ecosystem individual sectors have seen success, Art, Gaming and Digital Assets have all gained remarkable traction during 2020 with this once niche and experimental industry maturing into a force to be reckoned with.

  • Non-Fungible Tokens: the Global Legal Impact
    NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS: THE GLOBAL LEGAL IMPACT JUNE 2021 NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS: THE GLOBAL LEGAL IMPACT The market for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or cryptoassets representing proof of title to a unique digital version of an underlying asset, has soared. In the sports and digital arts sectors, recent NFT issuances have sold out in seconds, netting their creators millions. Subject to limitations in any relevant jurisdiction, NFTs have the potential to facilitate new revenue streams by establishing new forms of digital property, act as new channels for businesses and digital creators to reach customers, fans, and audiences and/or enable the monetisation of physical assets. While NFT issuance is growing rapidly globally, the legal and regulatory treatment of NFTs continues to evolve. We have been advising clients on NFTs in various jurisdictions. In this briefing, we share our experience to demystify NFTs and consider some of the key risks, and how the tokens are regulated across some key financial centres.

  • Nfts Are Everywhere
    NFTs Are Everywhere: Here’s What to Know Right Now About the Digital Trend and Where It’s Headed Next Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are making a whirlwind rise across the crypto and digital art scene. They’re boasting sales figures that continue to set records and then immediately breaking them for new ones—the numbers splashed across headlines are climbing higher every few days. In mid-March, artist Mike Winkelmann (more commonly known as Beeple), made history when one of his works became the most expensive digital artwork sale to date—at just shy of $70M. However, the record is already ripe for breaking as NFTs continue to rise in popularity, not only across blockchain users and the art world, but also within more mainstream and traditional organizations like the NFL, the music industry, and even… toilet paper companies—the Charmin brand announced via Twitter earlier this month that they’re releasing digital TP art to benefit the Direct Relief Fund. now Right Now About the Digital Trend and Where It’s Headed Next Top-selling digital art NFTs in Q1 2021 (as of 3/23/21) Christopher Torres February 2021 Nyan Cat $580K Jack Dorsey March 2021 First Tweet $2.5M Amanda Grimes February 2021 WarNymph Collection $5.8M Larva Labs March 2021 CryptoPunk #3100 $7.6M Mike Winkelmann, AKA Beeple March 2021 Everyday: The First 5000 Days $69.3M SOURCES: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/22/business/nft-nba-top-shot-crypto.html https://www.businessinsider.co.za/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-sell-first-tweet-nft-sunday-2021-3 https://www.brooklynvegan.com/grimes-made-over-5-million-selling-her-nft-crypto-art-collection/ https://www.thewrap.com/nft-beeple-cryptopunks-hashmasks/ As more artists have begun tying these tokens to music, digital art, video, and even memorabilia for fans and collectors to buy and trade, the market for NFTs has tripled, hitting more than $250 million in 2020.

  • “Minting” Art and Collectibles on Blockchain What Are Nfts?
    NFTs: Legal Risks from “Minting” Art and Collectibles on Blockchain Our firm represents clients in some of the world’s most significant disputes relating to blockchain, cryptocurrency, film, music, and artworks, and has been closely monitoring the exponential growth in the non-fungible token (NFT) art and collectibles market. This article discusses potential legal issues in the space. What are NFTs? An NFT is a digital file on a blockchain that shows who owns a unique piece of digital content.1 Theoretically, any digital content can be minted into an NFT: photographs and other works of digital art, songs, tweets, even memes. NFTs of NBA player highlight videos are sold through the “Top Shots” online marketplace. NFTs can also be used for items that exist only inside video games (for example, rare character skins, or clothing that can be worn inside Fortnite or Pokemon Go). For purposes of this discussion, each of these is deemed to be a work of art. NFTs are “non-fungible” because unlike other cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ether tokens, NFTs are not interchangeable with one another. Rather, NFTs are unique, although there may be multiple “editions” of a particular artwork or collectible available for sale, each evidenced by its own NFT. An important distinction between traditional works of art and works attested to and sold using NFTs is that the “work” must be either a work created in a digital medium (such as the digital collage that the artist Beeple recently sold for $69 million) or a digital image of a physical work (such as a painting or sculpture).

The writing process went as follows: a general definition of the topic was put forward by two of the authors (Franceschet and Colavizza), and used as reference to ask to a set of diverse authors to contribute with their viewpoints asynchronously and independently. No guidelines were offered before the first draft, if not to reach a minimum of words to justify a separate section/contribution. Afterwards, all authors read and commented on each 1 other's work and minimal editing was done. Every author was asked to suggest open questions and future perspectives on the topic of crypto art from their vantage point, while keeping full control of their own sections at all times. While this process does not necessarily guarantee the uniformity expected from, say, a research article, it allows for multiple voices to emerge and provide for a contribution on a common topic.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain. This blockchain is what certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be said to carry a similar form of cryptocurrency since they are both based on blockchain technology. This form of digital storage is potentially what may lead to a boom in the sector as Blockchain asserts their unique value through a certificate of authentication. Further, the ‘token’ is the asset which in case of digital art, it becomes the certificate of authentication. NFT is considered to be an asset of ownership over something you cannot appreciate physically. Hence a piece of digital art, a digital coupon, or a video clip.
