23/09/2022 International NFT Day: Why is it celebrated and what's the road ahead?

NFTs are cryptographic tokens that use blockchain technology to verify their ownership and cannot be replicated and are used to represent digital and real-world items such as artwork and real estate, allowing these assets to be traded.

With the rising popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), September 20 is now getting observed as the internationalNFT dayby the crypto community.

InternationalNFTday celebrates the creation and use of NFTs. The term was coined by Dapper Labs Chief Technology Officer Dete Shirley in the form of the ERC-721 standard on the same day in 2017, marking its existence.

NFTs are digital assets that can be stored, transferred, and traded just like traditional assets. They provide a secure way for people to exchange information and money without having to trust third parties.

Why is it celebrated?
International NFT Day is all about celebrating the creators and collectors in the NFT community. It’s also a day for people to learn about NFTs and get started with their own collection.

Edul Patel, CEO & Co-Founder, Mudrex said NFTs are an innovative technology that has rapidly gained momentum over the past one year.

"They are capable of replacing the physical paper documents in every sector, ensuring better security. NFTs will soon be a part of our everyday lives for their unique way of proving ownership," he adds.

Tarusha Mittal, COO, and Cofounder of UniFarm said NFTs act as important connecting links between the physical world and metaverse. The NFTs offer a unique way of ownership for the global audience, she said.

The NFT-based wealth creation is gaining momentum as every digital art form like videos, audio clips, graphics, memes, digital art, movie posters, and music can be sold at a higher value based on the buyer’s interest, she added.

Way ahead
The popularity of NFTs is surging across the globe and might lead to an interoperable group of metaverse, where cryptos will be the biggest currency to buy anything and everything.

Over the years we could see the shift from simply purchasing digital photos, videos, and assets for games, to buying real estate, other assets and stocks, suggested Raj Kapoor, Strategic Advisor, Yunometa.

The latest VMR report pegs the NFT market in 2030 to touch $231 billion. In the near term, the gaming industry and luxury brands are likely to tap the potential of this space, experts suggest.

We are, very soon, looking at a day when NFTs will be as common as credit cards if not more, believes Kameshwaran Elangovan, Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer, GuardianLink.

"People would be so used to the convenience, dependability, and transparency of NFTs that it will become the de facto standard for digital collectables and gaming assets."

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
