RedKite to launch revolutionary NFT marketplace

Team Bitcoin Daily

Next month sees the launch of RedKite, a new NFT platform aiming to be the bridge that connects collectors of well-established artists to the digital world through creating a new methodology for NFTs and art ownership. 

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have been around for some time now. However, following a few big press stories earlier this year, one being digital artist Beeple selling an NFT for $69 million, it’s only in recent months that we’ve seen some big players in the art world, such as Damien Hirst and Sotheby’s auction house, join in the NFT party.

Currently, most websites presenting NFTs in the form of visual artworks allow artists to upload their own digital files, GIFs, photos or animations and present them for sale for users to buy with cryptocurrency.  However, with so many artists creating digital artwork, the whole space has become cluttered, and even some of the leading NFT websites such as Nifty Gateway still have thousands of works in their marketplace, many by predominantly unknown artists.

This is where RedKite comes in to cut the noise. With a founding team built heavily of contemporary art professionals – one being renowned street artist and pioneer in the exploration of graffiti letter forms Ben Eine – the RedKite platform is fully curated, with a focus on artists who already have a big following and are widely collected in the physical art world. The team’s deep ties to current practicing artists and their ability to bring in valuable contemporary names creates a one stop shop for premium digital art collecting.

“In 2001, [American art dealer and curator] Jeffrey Deitch said the Street Art Movement was the biggest art movement in the world. I agreed with him at the time.  We’re now in 2021 and although it blows my mind, I believe digital art is the future. RedKite’s set up, where artists get to create physical pieces that relate to the digital works, makes more sense to me.” Ben Eine, street artist

With all of the artwork on the platform being carefully selected by RedKite’s in-house curatorial team, who between them have many years experience in running galleries, publishing limited editioned art and shaping artists’ careers, a close partnership that helps facilitate this lies with Ourtypes, an international art studio managing some of the most leading street artists and graffiti writers in the world. 

Ourtypes’ impressive projects include a mural on the London Eye and the production of one of the largest paintings ever created in partnership with Zippo. The cumulative following of Ourtypes and its artists currently sits at around 3 million and the volume of interest in the group is expected to significantly grow as their artists gain further exposure and continue to create ground-breaking work.

As an active studio that’s constantly working on new projects and embracing new technology, Ourtypes like the concept of the NFT space, and many of their artists, including Eine, whose work was once gifted to President Obama by UK Prime Minister David Cameron, have been dipping their toes in the digital medium for some time, but it wasn’t until they spoke to RedKite that it the idea resonated.

Juan Topping of Ourtypes said: “We’d been approached by a lot of NFT spaces in the past, with everyone wanting to work with our artists, however, it wasn’t until we heard about RedKite’s idea of the artists producing physical works to create asset backed NFTs that it all seemed to make sense”.

Cementing this new relationship, Eine and other artists from the Ourtypes family are likely to be the first in line for RedKite’s debut NFT drops, paving the way for other leading artists to jump on board.

On top of all this RedKite is looking to utilise some of the best tech in the space as well as bringing innovative solutions to the table. They will also be introducing some of the first asset-backed NFTs into the space. This means that each NFT bought and sold is associated with an original piece of work, such as a painting, that physically exists and will be publicly exhibited. By doing this, not only does a collector get to own part of a piece of art that exists in the real world, but it also means the value of the associated NFTs will not fall below a certain point. This is, due to them representing a fraction of a physical artwork that will hold its value or, more likely, increase in value as time goes on.

Environmental issues are often addressed when talking about NFTs and RedKite takes this seriously, offering carbon-neutral transactions. They aim to make this possible by offsetting their energy usage that is used on the Layer 2 of the Ethereum Network that they run on.

With this new platform, Redkite is looking to continue the development of the growing contemporary art market by bringing art collecting into the current digital climate.

Powered by blockchain technology to break down ownership of high-value pieces, their aim is to ultimately increase accessibility and utility for all.

Alongside the platform, RedKite will also be launching the KITE token, with its main utility deriving from running a Collectors Club. Avid investors can sign up to find out more information about how a public sale will be run via the RedKite website, Twitter and Telegram. Those that want premium NFTs can expect first drops to happen in December, with visual content appearing via instagram.

RedKite will be running a competition in order to excite and strengthen the community. Prices will include an original work of art by Ben Eine, five prints provided by Ourtypes, NFTs and Token Prizes. In order to find out more head over to the RedKite website and subscribe.

Memecoin Madness: Eddie Seal Team Insults Investors and Returns Money from Presale

Crypto Chain Wire

Published

on

May 17, 2024

By

Two weeks ago, the Eddie Seal memecoin project ($EDSE) began raising funds for development through a presale event. On Wednesday, a controversial post appeared on the project’s Twitter, where the team labeled the presale investors as ‘morons’.

“You morons. You invest in a presale of a new memecoin and then cry when someone runs off with the money. Get a grip and be careful because 99% of presales are scams. We have returned all the payments to the wallets from which they were sent. Eddie will proceed without a presale!” reads the tweet from Eddie Seal profile.

This incident is quite unusual, given market norms. Memecoins are not financial instruments, hence funds raised through presales are not regulated in any way. It is unprecedented for a project team to refund all investments made by individuals.

The refund might have been an attempt by the Eddie Seal team to build credibility within the crypto community, especially as Eddie Seal has announced six marketing rounds aimed at reaching a $1 billion marketcap. The campaign will culminate in an Eddie Seal cartoon, in the style of Rick and Morty or Family Guy. The six marketing rounds include sponsoring a Formula 1 team, a Harry Styles (or another top tier star) concert at Wembley with tickets for $1EDSE, a ‘spending money competition’ with 10,000 credit cards linked to one account, and a $3 million donation to MrBeast for spending in one of his videos.

It was also announced that the team plans to distribute part of the $EDSE tokens to the community gathered around the project in the form of an AirDrop. Sign-ups are expected to start soon.

The price of the $EDSE token in the coming days will reveal how the market has reacted. The token contract address for price tracking is available at eddieseal.org or listed here: 2Zvo6bnwJtyXhsPgbcfajTrEtB7NwrJhK8mMmtEXvHHc

Metarise is forging new paths in the metaverse landscape, building an immersive digital universe that blends high-quality, low-poly graphics with the robust capabilities of the M20 Chain blockchain, all powered by Unreal Engine. This innovative platform merges reality with virtual spaces to create an interactive environment where users can live, work, and play.

Vibrant Digital Ecosystems: Cityland and Funland 

At the heart of Metarise lies Cityland, the bustling urban core that serves as the central hub for commerce, art, and social interaction. With its vibrant streets lined with shops, showrooms, galleries, and more, Cityland is where creativity meets community. Not far from the urban excitement is Funland, a sanctuary of joy and entertainment, offering a retreat where users can engage in games, sports, and various leisure activities. Both these areas are anchored by the iconic Metarise Tower, a towering structure that stands as a testament to the possibilities of virtual architecture and the central node from which all activity in Metarise radiates.

The Role of Riser Token in Metarise 

The pulse of this digital universe is the Riser Token ($RIS), a metaverse utility token that facilitates not only commerce but also enables a variety of interactions and transactions within the Metarise ecosystem. From purchasing virtual land to trading goods and accessing exclusive services, the Riser Token is essential for navigating and leveraging the full potential of Metarise.

Empowering Users and Businesses 

Metarise is more than just a virtual space; it is a versatile platform designed to accommodate the diverse needs of individuals and businesses alike. Users can escape the monotony of traditional digital interactions and immerse themselves in a vibrant 3D environment that offers an enriched form of social connectivity. For businesses, Metarise provides a range of tools and spaces for virtual offices, allowing companies to maintain operations, host conferences, and interact with clients without geographical constraints.

Innovative Real Estate and Investment Opportunities 

One of the standout features of Metarise is its approach to virtual real estate. Through its Initial Land Offering (ILO), users have the opportunity to invest in virtual land, represented as unique NFTs on the M20 blockchain. This allows for the development of personalized real estate projects, from digital offices and private properties to commercial spaces, which can be further monetized through rentals or providing specialized services.

MetaRise is excited to announce the opening of our Initial Land Offering (ILO), a unique opportunity for early adopters to participate in the early stages of our expansive metaverse. This early phase of development offers potential for growth as the platform evolves, though it’s important to remember that all investments carry inherent risks and returns are not guaranteed. As you consider joining us in shaping the future of MetaRise, we encourage you to make informed decisions.

A Hub for Brands and Creators 

Metarise serves as a dynamic marketing tool for brands looking to enhance their identity and user engagement through immersive experiences. It’s a platform where brands can interact with their audience in meaningful ways, leveraging the unique capabilities of virtual reality, augmented reality, and AI to deliver memorable brand experiences.

Conclusion: The Future of Digital Connectivity 

Metarise envisions a world where digital and physical realities converge to create a seamless universe of endless possibilities. It’s not just about creating a space for users to interact; it’s about redefining the essence of community and connectivity. As Metarise continues to expand and evolve, it invites users from all corners of the globe to explore its myriad offerings, engage with its vibrant community, and contribute to the ever-growing expanse of this digital frontier.
