Description

This token is to celebrate my 100 followers on Obkjt.com. I would like to send you my warmest thanks for being part of this journey. I also have some things to tell you... As you may have noticed on my Twitter new description, something's cooking in here and I wanted to share with you the reason why we chose this name, why this event will be dedicated to Tezos ecosystem & why it will be the first of its kind in the way it will push artists & arts in the light. Just like no one can ignore crypto anymore, no one will be able to ignore artists anymore. Here is the foreword I wrote for the event brochure. It's not perfect, it's not complete, it's just an attempt to explain the genesis of #CleanNFT to as many people as possible, starting from the first page by breaking the preconceived idea that NFTs are bad for the environment while giving credit where credit is due: it was the artists who were the first to choose this democratic and environmentally friendly protocol. And for this glimmer of hope that they give to the world to build a truly better and fairer world, I would be eternally grateful. Marina Abramović questions our relationship to heroes and the urgent need for them. In my eyes, every artist who has decided to create his art on Tezos is a hero because he is giving his vote for a world where human rights are respected and guaranteed for all, regardless of the territories where each of us lives. ========================================================================= “Why #CleanNFT?” is probably the most asked question we received while preparing for this event. It’s directly linked to the beginning of the Tezos NFT community history that we wanted to highlight & introduce below. Back in early 2021, at the very beginning of NFT adoption & expansion, mass media criticized NFT space for its energy consumption & carbon footprint. As a result, many new NFT artists felt responsible for this impact footprint & moved to Tezos, where the community is proud of being able to mint without almost any impact on the environment. Quickly, “#CleanNFT” became a rallying sign for the community. The Tezos blockchain total annual carbon footprint for 2021 approximates the average footprint of 17 world citizens. On 18th March 2021, Tezos revealed in a tweet that minting NFT on Ethereum produces 1,7M times more carbon emission than minting on Tezos: “Minting three #NFTs on #Ethereum produces 915 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, the polar bear’s weight. On #Tezos it would have produced .00054 lbs - about the mass of the snowflakes on this bear’s snout.” In addition to the light environmental impact, the accessibility & inclusiveness enabled by low transaction fees on Tezos has facilitated the adoption of NFTs by artists. Gas prices on Ethereum are frequently exorbitant, as are fees. In 2021, minting an NFT used to cost between $50 to over $1000 (usually around $200) to the point where the gas fee of a mint may be greater than the NFT’s actual price. In the meantime, minting on Tezos has always cost between $0,04 to $0,08. As a result, hundreds of artists began using Tezos to create, share & sell their art pieces, paving the way for thousands to follow in the following months. The decentralized marketplace HicetNunc (“here & now”, aka “H=N”) has played a significant role in the fast growing adoption of the art ecosystem there. Artists have preceded collectors, art companies & even liquidity on the protocol. That said, they have found Tezos to be a welcoming community where caring, mutual aid & openness reign. This event aims to honor artists who were the catalysts for the development of culture on Tezos, while giving them the opportunity to address the art world in its diversity & wholeness. This introduction isn’t exhaustive & we’re eager to show you the rest… Welcome to the artistic NFT world! ======================================================================= 4608x3456
