As the world at large moves towards decen­tral­ized sys­tems and blockchain tech­nol­o­gy and the art world begins to explore its deep­er poten­tial, so is the demand for events that dis­cuss web3 in the art space grow­ing. 

To hon­our artists for World Art Day on April 15, our CEO and Co-Founder and Smart­Stamp AIR artists were invit­ed to speak at the Art of Web3 event host­ed by Moon­beam, an Ethereum-com­pat­i­ble blockchain net­work built in the Polka­dot ecosystem.

We shared how we are help­ing shape the future of the art mar­ket and touched on key top­ics, such as:

• Smart­Stamp art ID app
• Smart­Stamp AIR > web3 artist-in-residence
• Autho­rized prox­ies to dig­i­tal­ly sign on behalf of artists
• NFT cre­ator roy­al­ties for phys­i­cal artworks
• The dig­i­tal asset cus­to­di­an & escrow mod­el using cryp­to or fiat
• NFTs > art + fund­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for future projects
• Are stake­hold­ers in the phys­i­cal art world ready?

For those who missed the live event, the replay of Juli’s talk and the artists pan­el to which we invit­ed our esteemed AIR (artist-in-res­i­dence) artists Gor­don Che­ung and Shirin Abe­dini­rad is on the Moon­beam YouTube channel.

We were real­ly impressed with the lev­el of orga­ni­za­tion and pro­fes­sion­al­ism dis­played by the Moon­beam team. From the moment we received the invi­ta­tion to speak, we felt we were in good hands and we expe­ri­enced a smooth and stress-free engagement.

SmartStamp’s NFT with artist roy­al­ties for phys­i­cal art­works are deployed in the Moon­beam ecosys­tem and we look for­ward to the future and to con­tin­u­ing to be a part of the grow­ing web3 art community!

Thank you to Moon­beam, the artists, and every­one who joined the event!
