Introduction
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, have been making headlines in the world of art and collectibles. But it’s not just artists and collectors who are getting in on the action. Food brands are also using NFTs to reach their audiences in the Metaverse, a virtual world where people can interact with each other and digital assets. In this edition of the Nifty Newsletter, we’ll explore how food brands are using NFTs, as well as some of the other interesting developments in the NFT space.
Food Brands Use NFTs
Food brands are using NFTs in a variety of ways to engage with their audiences. For example, Pizza Hut recently launched a collection of NFTs featuring their iconic pizza. Fans can purchase the NFTs and use them to unlock special rewards, such as free pizza for a year. KFC also got in on the NFT action, releasing a collection of NFTs featuring their famous founder, Colonel Sanders.
But it’s not just fast food chains that are using NFTs. Fine dining establishments are also getting in on the game. For example, Eleven Madison Park, a three Michelin-starred restaurant in New York City, recently sold an NFT for $51,000. The NFT grants the owner access to a private tour of the restaurant and a meal for two.
Art History and Bruce Lee in the NFT World
While food brands are using NFTs to engage with their audiences, artists and collectors are using NFTs to explore new ways of buying and selling art. One recent example is the sale of a digital artwork titled “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” by artist Beeple. The artwork sold for a staggering $69 million at Christie’s auction house, making it the most expensive NFT ever sold.
But it’s not just contemporary art that’s making waves in the NFT world. Art history is also getting a digital makeover. For example, the Louvre Museum in Paris recently sold an NFT featuring a digital rendition of the famous painting, the Mona Lisa. And Bruce Lee fans can now purchase NFTs featuring the martial arts legend in action.
