An NFT That Promises To Help Save Our Cultural Heritage

I don't often select stories about NFTs to share ... because a lot of them are essentially about someone selling vapor to someone else with the misplaced perception of value. But a story about the “Monuverse” struck me as a model that could work while doing some real good in the world.

In the Monuverse, consumers can own part of a digital rendering of a real life monument. Founded with the mission of creating a “tangible bridge between realities,” platform co-founder Andrea Salomone says the monuments not only offer a chance for “virtual tourism,” but also share revenue to provide “perpetual funding” to preserve those monuments in real life. The argument for how the metaverse can help historical sites is surprisingly compelling.
