Opis

Move beyond the tech jargon and the hype of non-fungible tokens (NFT)s and become empowered to think through solutions to solve your specific business problems.​ NFTs are important because they enable the manipulation of digital assets in ways that are closer to the way we manipulate physical assets.

Understanding what core problems NFTs solve and how they solve them will enable business leaders to design solutions and to put together the teams that will help them deliver on the promises of NFTs. This book is focused on explaining what NFTs are, what problems they solve, and what what technology makes them possible. It provides the larger technological, economic, and political context within which NFTs are emerging.

O autorze

Dr. Ahmed Bouzid has written numerous articles on NFTs and has interviewed several professionals in the space for his podcast. He is also launching the very first pure-audio based NFT marketplace through Witlingo, his digital audio and voicebot products and solutions start-up. Witlingo’s NFT market targets podcasters, voice actors and artists, singers, comedians, and other professionals who use voice and audio.

Dr. Paolo Narciso has worked on developing a technology credentialing system that allows students to “earn while they learn.” He also created a hybrid community and online program to teach underserved talent how to develop for Web3 with the mission of educating the next generation of diverse architects, builders, and creators for the coming tech revolution.

Steve Wood helped create an NFT rating protocol, is building a game rewards system using “liquid NFTs,” and has been part of the development of Liberland’s governance system, which leverages NFTs for many important functions. He has launched one crypto token, plans on a second for Liberland’s national blockchain, and has eyes on a third for the game rewards system. Steve is also an advisor to NFT project Bakeree, which aims to simplify and automate NFT drops.
