NFT cho phép người sáng tạo nội dung hưởng lợi bản quyền từ khi sản phẩm của mình lan truyền trên internet và NFT cho phép người hâm mộ ủng hộ và đầu tư vào nhà sáng tạo. Một dự án NFT thành công không nhất thiết phải làm cho người ta biết loại công nghệ đằng sau nó. Mà thông điệp thương hiệu mới là cái quan trọng hơn cả.

Rất nhiều nhà sáng tạo đứng đằng sau các dự án NFT không phải là nhà kinh doanh. Do đó, để giữ được uy tín của bản thân mình và xây dựng cộng đồng bền vững, hãy cẩn thận với những gì bạn có thể hứa. Một thương hiệu mạnh có thể hợp tác với những doanh nghiệp toàn cầu và làm sống động các tác phẩm nghệ thuật.

Cùng Vietnam Rising nghe thêm về Chubbiverse của chị String Nguyen và một tập thể thích cười khúc khích, ăn cầu vồng. Những nhân vật đáng yêu này đã kết nối với một cộng đồng internet thích sự nhẹ nhàng và đáng yêu của nó, từ đó tạo ra hơn 1 tỷ lượt Meme/ Giphy để rồi được sở hữu bởi những tên tuổi nổi tiếng trên thế giới như Steve Aoki.
