Despite the rise of NFTs, there really isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution that can be offered to them. The JDN supports you in this.
Why not offer an NFT to introduce your loved ones to Web3? Here’s how to do it.
The simple, effective, but unattractive method
Cryptocurrency users and Web3 users probably know it: an NFT is exchanged between two addresses on the same blockchain, be it Ethereum, Tezos or Polygon.
Therefore, the easiest way to offer an NFT is to send it to its recipient. However, the latter must still have a wallet and have identified his address. If it is a decentralized domain name of the ENS type, the process is facilitated, but in this case it is a context where the beneficiary of the gift is already well initiated. If you don’t know this address, you must ask for it to ensure good reception without losing the element of surprise.
In this case, a simple method would be to create a paper wallet accompanied by a hard copy of the work or a QR code so it can be consulted immediately. On the other hand, the beneficiary must be advised to transfer the work to another wallet of their choice, since there is always a suspicion that you hold the private key.
In the same way, you can always offer a ledger wallet or a Trezor S and associate an NFT with the hardware wallet’s public address, but you can’t do this without knowing the seed or private key.
The conspicuous method
In order to make your gift as attractive as possible, the company Infinity objects offers to frame your NFT even if it’s animated. This gives you an endless loop that you can display on a wall or mantel like a traditional work. You can do this with the NFT of your choice by connecting a Web3 wallet on the corporate interface. Or you can even create your own physical NFT by uploading the photo or video of your choice. However, a frame can only be used once: it corresponds to an NFT and cannot be changed. The offer starts at $79.
The opponent token frame With a starting price of 333 dollars, it is aimed at a clientele with more purchasing power. Finally the solution The girlfriend starts at $4,500 and offers a variety of options including the ability to do generative art in touch and with a built-in camera. A gift for the convinced rich.
The geek method
Well presented, the homemade method will do the trick and of course starts with a raspberry pi. An online guide exist. After all, count on around 250 euros and some configuration time.
Where to buy NFT?
There are now dozens of NFT marketplaces and hence the The Journal du Net has created a guide to find it better. It is also possible to approach institutions established in the arts sector such as Sotheby’s and its premises metaverse or the Paris gallery Charlot and its new Tezos marketplace. In France still the digital platforms ofart point and ArtOS are local solutions offering artist curation.
