For the first time, the global Web3 community will come together on September 20 to participate in International NFT Day, an annual moment to celebrate non-fungible tokens across the industry. It was on this day five years ago that Dapper Labs CTO Dete Shirley submitted NFT standard ERC-721 and first coined the term “non-fungible token.”
Since then, NFTs have ballooned into an industry that generates more than $USD 40 billion in transactions per year. The technology is progressively working its way into the mainstream, with recent moves including Instagram’s new NFT display feature and Ticketmaster’s new capability to create digital keepsake tickets, but we’re still early in the journey.
NFT Day provides an annual moment for our collective industry to rally together to show mainstream consumers how Web3 can add real value to the experiences and products they already love and enjoy. From creators and collectors, to developers and founders, when we work together we can reach a far greater audience than any of us will on our own. NFT Day will feature participation from projects, blockchains, and brands across the industry including OpenSea, Gaia, Flovatar, BuildSpace, Inception Animals, TheFirstMint, Sturdy Exchange, Metaverse HQ, Krikey, LearnWeb3, This is Epix, Ripple, CryptoPiggos, TuneGo, and Seussibles.
Interested in participating? Let’s explore some of the ways you and your network can get involved.
NFT Day: It takes a village
One of the best parts about NFT Day is it’s not designed to benefit just one company or blockchain–anyone in the world can participate, and there are dozens of ways for the Web3 community to join in.
For developers and brands, some of those options include:
- Participating on social media. Whether you’re looking to share original posts or amplify content from other channels, all activity helps increase awareness of NFT Day. Let’s make #NFTDay the top trending topic of the day on Twitter.
- Inviting your community to participate. One of the key purposes for NFT Day is to generate broader consumer awareness of NFTs. Mainstream creators and users sometimes struggle to understand the benefits of non-fungible tokens, and there are misconceptions that cause additional confusion. You can invite your end user audience to engage on social media or visit InternationalNFTDay.org, where they can review simple content that makes it easy to get started with Web3.
- Sharing NFT-related announcements, news, giveaways, or drops. By timing these updates and activations with NFT Day, projects will be able to capitalize on a surge in NFT-focused traffic.
- Attending an in-person meet-up. Community hosted gatherings will take place in cities across the globe. We’re offering a modest stipend to support approved events, and you can register your own gathering here. Current locations include Chicago, Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo, Vancouver, B.C., Greece, Columbia, Berlin, Taiwan, Australia, and Portland. Check back in at InternationalNFTDay.org to see new additions.
Expediting Web3 adoption as a consumer or creator
For many people, NFTs provide their first blockchain-based experience. By demystifying NFTs and separating the hype from reality, we can help spark broader interest in joining and enjoying the world of Web3.
Whether you’re a crypto native or Web3 curious, creators and consumers can participate in NFT Day by:
- Joining the conversation on social media. Interested in discussing NFTs on Discord or retweeting your favorite project on Twitter? Every engagement helps NFT Day become visible to your network–and don’t forget to display your NFT collection on Instagram if you have access to that feature.
- Visiting InternationalNFTDay.org. The website is loaded with simple content that defines NFTs, explains what makes them unique, and shows how to get started with collecting.
- Claiming a free commemorative NFT. On September 20, we’ll share directions to receive an exclusive NFT as a commemorative NFT Day 2022 keepsake. A Dapper wallet will be required to claim it, and users can sign up for free here.
- Minting an NFT. Creators can visit InternationalNFTDay.org to learn how to mint their own NFTs in minutes. This opens the opportunity to sell or store digital versions of their art, music, photography, or other assets with verifiable ownership baked in.
By participating in NFT Day, you can help elevate blockchain technology, debunk misconceptions, and illustrate the real value it can generate for people of all backgrounds and interests. Each year, we can use this moment to create more momentum as we all continue to build and introduce more people to the magic of Web3.We look forward to joining forces with you both now and in the future to evangelize the benefits of Web3 experiences.
