Sorrisi forVALUE NFTs

Welcome to Hoken Tech

A sector little explored by blockchain and crypto, in general, is that of charity, in fact traditionally the aim is to exploit the traditional channels of various organizations and non-profit organizations to allocate funds to various noble causes.

But cryptocurrencies allow them to be a better tool than the usual channels as thanks to one of the characteristics of the blockchain which is transparency, the end-user can see and track the movements of the funds and how they are used but also know the amount collected, without having to wait for official releases.

And as the recent conflict in Europe has shown us, crypto donations have also been incredible and of strong impact, so much so that the promulgation of laws to manage these assets has been made faster, also because cryptocurrencies open borders to any user and without particular language problems as it is enough to make a simple transaction at the address/account in charge of the charity initiative.

Of course, a donation is essential, always, but it always releases only a “sad receipt” confirming the donation itself, this is where Nartist fills the void of a traditional emotionless system, using cryptocurrencies and the blockchain and exploiting a revolutionary asset which are the NFTs, and the Non Fungible Tokens.

Wouldn’t it be nice to actively donate and have something in your hands that are valuable and creatively testify to our support for a noble cause?

Well, thanks to its art contests for the social world, Nartist has made art and solidarity within everyone’s reach using its own unique and patented canvases, on which various artists, or aspiring artists, can create works by raising funds for social projects. An example is Sorrisi for VALUE in favor of the Surgical Mission in Burkina Faso (June 2022) promoted by the non-profit organization Emergenza Sorrisi.

This initiative meant that as many as 135 works were made on Nartist’s special canvas.

The works were voted by the users of the site who decreed 9 of the 18 finalists. The other 9 were selected by a committee made up of experts in art, communication, and economics. To win are the owners and artists of these splendid works.

But Nartist, being an innovative company with a social vocation, did not stop there and has seen fit to integrate something digital with the tangible of these spectacular works, that is to create NFTs of the same finalists of this incredible competition, effectively creating a “digital twin “ie a digital double of the physical work.

Among the many candidates, she chose to contact a young Apulian company to share the project with and Hoken Tech answered the call in the affirmative.

Strengthened by the experience of the collection of the international artist Juan Tardivo and his tokenized paintings, Hoken Tech will create a digital double of the physical work and this collection will also follow NFT standards.

So not only will users be able to purchase the physical works created by the artists, but they will also be able to acquire the related NFTs that have been created starting from the originals, in 1: 1 copy of the same, created on the EOS blockchain, the first blockchain in the world to be carbon neutral.

As for physical works, even for NFT works part of the proceeds will go to charity, the initiative serves precisely to extend donations beyond Italian national borders and in this case, crypto and blockchain are the best tools as they are “borderless”.

The finalist works

As we said, 18 finalist works have been tokenized, here are the works, using the EOS blockchain, as it is fast, cheap, and eco-sustainable, the first blockchain in the world to be carbon neutral.

The NFT works maintain the same properties as the originals: the uniqueness and information related to the canvas and guaranteed by the hologram and the unique code that is entered in the NFT.

These NFTs will be sold by auction, on a decentralized marketplace that leverages the EOS blockchain.

In this way, anyone in the world will be able to view these works and buy them, because one of the advantages of using this blockchain is precisely the speed and economy of the transactions that allow everyone to not incur any transaction costs, as is the case with other blockchains.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of NFTs will be added to what has been donated so far to the initiative which has already raised €2,000 for Emergenza Sorrisi onlus. It is the art that stimulates us to do good and this is an initiative in which everyone should participate. Art unites peoples and through the blockchain, it is possible to reach them regardless of their geographical position.

Finally, there is a 19th NFT, very special because it unites all the others. It is about “Relations and interactions for Emergenza Sorrisi”, a temporary installation conceived by Gianfranco Nicastri, which embraces the competition’s 18 finalist works of art. The number 18, a multiple of 9, in addition to symbolizing completeness, contains a form of energy charged with compassion and love spread globally.

This NFT represents a modern interpretation of the concept of patronage that Nartist makes collaborative by uniting different artists.

The installation is permanently set up in the Nartist Gallery in Gioia di Colle (BA) but is periodically transformed, always hosting 18 different works, depending on the art project in progress. “The impermanence of an experience, to go beyond the appearance of matter and unite to it, through the energy of art, the patron’s soul with the artist’s soul and the essence of his work”.

The NFTs of Sorrisi forVALUE

These NFTs, here you can find the page to buy them, provide concrete and direct help to the initiative, and anyone who buys them will be able to keep or resell them, thus amplifying the visibility of the work itself and its collection.

Let’s not forget that these works are created by emerging and non-emerging artists, and consequently their works will also increase their value over time, and thanks to the blockchain it will be possible to circulate them more quickly than in the traditional world.

So, thus, enters the NFT and blockchain world NARTIST with its program forVALUE, the system thanks to which the circle in which the artist has contributed his art to the initiative, art lovers do not support both the initiative that the artist who previously did not know, and finally the lover of art becomes a real patron of art by spreading, buying and selling, the works to expand and disseminate his collection, establishing a virtuous circle that takes the name of collaborative patronage.
