2021 can be considered as the first year of the NFT and the Metaverse. NFTs are talked about by more and more people, even they don’t know what the blockchain technology behind it is. In this era where everything can be NFT, many traditional artists are also eager to try. Because Digital art works are naturally compatible with NFT, and NFTs are always connected to money gains. Various art forms can be presented through NFT, digital art, etc. , so as to realize the multiple values of artists.

The collision of traditional art and crypto art

There are many differences between traditional art and crypto art in their own forms. Compared with traditional art, crypto art has advantages that cannot be ignored, which impacts traditional art to a certain extent.

(1) Openness and transparency of information

Traditional art often requires collectors to spend time to check the authenticity of the artwork and transaction information. However, due to the characteristics of crypto art, all the information can be checked on-chain, including the creator, purchase and sale records etc. They are all completely open and transparent, both the buyer and user can clearly understand all the information about the artwork.

(2) Lower costs

Traditional artworks need to be bought, sold and stored at a certain cost, while crypto art only need to be exhibited and traded on the chain, which reduces high transportation costs, storage costs and maintenance costs compared with traditional artworks.

(3) Better exposure and liquidity

Traditional artwork trading models are in low exposure due to time and geography limits, but crypto art can be viewed at any time on the trading platform, which not only achieve higher exposure and wider clientele, but also improve the circulation of works.

(4) Clear ownership of works

After a traditional artwork is purchased, it can be copied into fakes and continue to be traded in the secondary market. It’s difficult to distinguish between authenticity. Crypto arts are traded through the blockchain indicate the source of NFT and all transactions, which identify the ownership of the work clearly.
