Twitter Space - Artist in the NFT space with XOXO and Rockiart
On Sunday, June 26, Trait Sniper had an interesting discussion on Twitter Space about artists in the NFT space with Yehuda and Maya Devir from XOXO and Rockiart. The conversation lasted more than an hour, thanks to the presenters', guests', and listeners' involvement.
Participants (as hosts and speakers) from Trait Sniper are members of the core team, including Max, Katnip, and Hyper.
Special guests to chat with us include Yehuda and Maya Devir from XOXO, and a well-known Vietnamese NFT artist - Rockiart.
Notice: These are practical discussions by people with experience and knowledge of the NFT market. If you don't feel confident enough about the background to read this article, check out more basic articles here.
The Road Into NFT Space
In the beginning, Maya had an introduction about their XOXO collections, including roadmap, mint price, mint time, and the collection general information. The Love Stories collection contains an individual story and philosophy behind each couple with a specific structure to each XOXO token. If you are interested in the XOXO project and these two great artists, you should listen to the record to get a sense of their rhythm.
As an artist, Rockiart shows the desire to elevate the artworks of not only just Vietnam artists but all artists worldwide. However, the issue of unauthorized use of artworks in the creative world had broken the hearts of many dedicated artists. Even if creators designate their work with a watermark logo or signature, unauthorized users will delete, cut, or fade the watermark.
The two artists also shared their disappointments while seeking the achievements of their works, particularly when illegal users' channels approach more people than authors'. Developing from this point, in the blockchain and Web3 environment, digital copyrights can empower artists by tokenizing their artworks as NFTs while in Web 2.0, content can be duplicated freely. Because of that, copyright infringement will be removed. Web 3.0 introduces scarcity into the creator economy, increasing artists' financial opportunities.
After six years of hard-working, Yehuda and Maya have built a wide community. In 2020, they started receiving a lot of e-mails requesting collaboration on the release of NFT artwork. Yehuda and Maya began to research the potential of NFT and the advantages it may provide. According to their sharing, releasing art as NFTs and selling it is not for money; the objective is to make their community stronger. They want to raise the value for everything true artists do, not only NFT.
Like many one of us, Rockiart came to the NFT world through word-of-mouth. Certain snipers in his art buddies circle, who have the experiences and motivations to boost the NFT world and Web3 future, suggest him for turning his amazing arts into NFTs. He realized not only the financial possibilities but also copyright issues and community growth. Rockiart is grateful for the opportunity to define the original value of his work. He is going hard-working for his first NFT collection. To update the information about Rockiart and his artwork, please follow his social media:
We believe in the future, NFTs will offer artists greater power. NFT art is fast redefining how artists are rewarded and the ways they may work, develop new projects, and take control of their work.
From Web2 to Web3 Journey…
In the NFT space, it is important to note that the chances of success depend on the level of interaction of the community. This is because NFTs are a relatively newer form of investment that requires a community of supporters who believe in the potential of digital artists and the opportunities for growth presented by the community. Yehuda and Maya confess that it is challenging to bring their community from Web2 into Web3. They have to depth research and then educate their audiences with help from Shelby from @xoxonft_io.
Blockchain, NFT, and Web3 are in their early stages. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. In spite of the rug-pulls and scams recently, we think that the future of blockchain, NFT, and Web3 is still so far and provides artists a fair playing field to give value to end-users.
Currently, Trait Sniper also has a Twitter Space to talk about the topic of NFT security. Additionally, several titles to information about NFT security were released on our blogs. Please access these links below and enjoy the reading:
