THE RISE OF Virtual Worlds and Decentralised Lands on the blockchain
The future of collecting digital assets is here, now. Actually, it’s been out there already for the last couple of years but is more hype than ever due to the forced COVID-19 circumstances.
The whole world is more ‘online’ than ever and if we think about the ways of collecting & enjoying art, the digital trend is simply confirmed: there are new type of collectors who have started to build awesome reputable digital art collections, taking all the best that blockchain technology has to offer. Using tokens to represent assets on the blockchain also offers a number of advantages, such as proving provenance, uniqueness and authenticity plus secure and decentralized storage.
Blockchain-based platforms like Open Sea and Super Rare , showcased a considerable increase in the number of artists featured and artworks traded especially during the last year, they were also spotted to showcase their collections in the decentralized lands.
Since we at Kate Vass Galerie started to tokenise and offer digital artworks for sale on the blockchain in 2019, we’ve been witnessing a remarkable growth of active collectors and bids which led to a rise in the prices.
Good example: the AI Generated Nude Portrait #1 by artist Robbie Barrat, originally bought from the artist by a collector 2 years ago for 0.46ETH ($176), recently sold for 75ETH ($13,265).
But then, how to best enjoy a digital art collection? The trend now shows that virtual worlds are getting very popular. So popular that it may be too late to buy a piece of LAND as they are currently sold out on some platforms.
