Farm and Museum, one of South Africa’s foremost national heritage sites, may be able to keep its doors open, thanks to the remarkable auction of Nelson Mandela’s arrest warrant. Or, to be more precise, the auction of a non-fungible token of the arrest warrant.
The winning buyer, who prefers not to be named at this stage, will not own the original, actual arrest warrant, which remains the property of the museum. They will not even own a certified copy of the warrant. However, they will own the digital rights to a piece of history that will only appreciate in time.
In the world of NFTs, there is arguably no single project that has made as big a wave in the world of crypto as the Bored Ape Yacht Club. This collection of 10,000 procedurally-generated primates has set the bar for what a globally successful NFT project can look like, and has captured the interest of NFT collectors and celebrities alike.
Creating an NFT is called ‘minting’. During the minting process, the digital asset is ‘fingerprinted’ and stored on the blockchain, a ledger that stores every NFT that has ever been created on it. Another way to think about a blockchain is just an open, transparent and ultra-reliable bank. NFTs are assets stored by this bank. This bank follows all the same procedures as you’d expect from a normal bank to protect your assets from theft or fraud, making sure that the rightful owner remains so.
