Within our network, our goal is to connect art institutions, technology companies, collectors and artists to facilitate conversation online and offline.’’ Global Fair Director Gillian Howard said.
What Are Bitcoins And Ordinals?
Bitcoin ordinals began as a means to simplify establishing NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on the Bitcoin blockchain. They were launched by BTC mainnet developer Casey Rodarmor in January 2023. Ordinals are means of creating Bitcoin NFTs by attaching data such as images, videos, and more to an individual satoshi on the base Bitcoin blockchain.
It is important to add that Bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency that is accepted and legalised in major exchanges across the world. As of March 2024, Bitcoin was legal in the U.S., Japan, the U.K., and most other developed countries. But in emerging markets and other areas, its legal status has varied dramatically.
‘’Blockchain development is a driving force of digital art development. Since 2021, our team at Digital Art Fair has been studying and understanding everything from legal framework to applications. Other than that of course we do put a lot of our R&D effort into screen display, AI & VR. The goals of the ‘’House’’ Initiative is to connect the museums, art curators, collectors and artists with the understanding of art history and to spark conversation around technology. We understand the importance to raise funds for museums and also the need for our community to connect with them.’’ Howard continues.
