The launch is supported by the MultiversX blockchain platform, formerly branded Elrond. Also, personalities and institutions or media press groups in Romania help the launch get more visibility.

David Popovici launches NFT collection on ICI D|SERVICES

David Popovici, the Romanian swimming sensation and World Champion, is proud to announce the release of his first-ever NFT. Titled “ICONS of the Generational Circle,” this NFT represents the first release of a collection aiming to honour Olympic Sports icons. The NFT will start auctioning on April 26th, 2023, on ICI D|SERVICES, the first European NFT institutional trading platform.

“My first NFT is my way of honouring so many of my heroes, icons of Olympic Sports, but also authentic models of dedication and perseverance, who can inspire younger generations to find their passion and become the champions of tomorrow, regardless of their chosen path. I am also thrilled to play a small part in the launching of the first government initiative of this kind, which proves once again, on the one hand, that Romania is deserving of its reputation as a country of innovation and, on the other hand, that passion can fuel evolution in any field: from sports to government.”

David Popovici, World Swimming Champion

ICI D|Services becomes the first European institutional NFT trading platform with the support of MultiversX

ICI D|SERVICES (ICI Decentralized Services) has been developed by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest and will be dedicated to digital assets. It will initially manage NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and operate based on Blockchain and Web3 technologies. This represents the first governmental initiative to join the ecosystem of innovative applications built on the MultiversX blockchain network, formerly branded as Elrond.

The platform will be officially launched on April 26th, 2023, at the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, at the Critical Infrastructure Protection Forum – CIP Forum 2023. This international event focuses on Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection. The launch of ICI D|SERVICES is an essential milestone for the European Union. The ICI D|SERVICES platform will function similarly to an existing NFT marketplace, serving public and institutional purposes by operating in compliant, transparent and superior security frameworks.

There is not the first Romanian NFT collection launched in the country. A time ago, the Stramosii NFT project created quite a sensation.

Elrond, currently MultiversX, was the same blockchain platform to make that launching possible. Now, it is the same platform to support launching the collections on ICI D|SERVICES.

As part of the platform launch, there will be five more institutional NFT collections on ICI D|SERVICES, available as Digital Collectibles:

Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee. “The Generational Circle” debut NFT collection represents a recognition of the history of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee and the history of Romania’s presence at the Olympics, virtually made in the form of historical moments represented by NFTs. The collection includes an extraordinary exclusive NFT drop titled “ICONS of the Generational Circle,” paying tribute to Olympic sports icons.

AGERPRES. “Memories of Future Self” NFT collection represents awarded AGERPRES archive photographs of Romanian legacy and a view of rare moments immortalized in history.

Romfilatelia launches the first NFT collection of digital stamps. Romfilatelia, the sole authority designated by the Romanian Government to issue postage stamps, presents a unique NFT collection of 15 digital stamps entitled “A World in a Stamp”.

The collection comprises stamps that have been transformed into NFTs, with particular attention paid to the first Romanian stamp Bull Head and the gold replica of the first stamp of 27 parale, to astronomical phenomena, famous Romanian actors, and the royal history of Romania. The collection also includes stamps that celebrate the Universal Postal Union and the documented existence of Bucharest.

Each NFT features beautifully illustrated designs and intricate details, such as gold foiling and graphic elements printed with ink visible in UV.

Central University Library “Carol I”. “Our AI Story – Central University Library Reimagined” is a unique NFT collection of AI-generated artworks that capture different aspects of the library, highlighting its rich history, cultural significance and its role as a gateway to knowledge.

The platform’s highly secure and decentralized blockchain network provides superior protection against cyber threats, ensuring a safe and efficient trading experience for digital assets.

In March 2022, Meta CEO and creator Mark Zuckerberg teased Instagram NFTs, subsequently expanding on them in a Facebook post in May 2022. It featured a video from an interview with Tom Bilyeu, the originator and host of the “Impact Theory” show.

We’re starting to test digital NFT collectibles on Instagram so that makers and collectors can display their NFTs.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO Meta

He also described an individual’s NFT collection as an expression that allows them to choose what they want to display to the world through their profiles.

According to Crypto Marketing Center, the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, added to the enthusiasm for NFT fans when he tweeted, “We’re starting to test digital collectables with a select group of American creators and collectors this week, who will be able to share NFTs on Instagram. There are no charges for uploading or sharing a digital collectable on Instagram.”

How will NFTs work on Instagram?

The lower right corner of NFT posts will have a tag that reads “Digitial collectable,” indicating that it is an NFT. They’ll also glow, making them stand out even more from conventional posts. When someone taps the post, story, or message, they’ll see links to the owner’s and creator’s Instagram profiles, the piece’s name, and the artist’s description.

Instagram will first support NFTs on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, with Flow and Solana to follow soon after. Rainbow, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet wallets will be available first to artists and collectors, followed by Coinbase, Dapper, and Phantom wallets.

Zuckerberg indicated in his video introduction that he hopes to bring NFTs to other Meta platforms. He indicated that Facebook would be getting the feature soon and that other Meta apps may follow suit later.

The total number of Instagram users who would soon see the NFT functionalities was not confirmed by Meta executives. If they see the capability appear on the social platform, they would most likely check it out out of curiosity.

A10 Auction House by Artmark became in 2021 the first house in Eastern Europe that organized an auction dedicated to digital art in NFT format. This year’s Artmark event will take place on February 22, from 10 to 20 PM local time at Artmark Auction House in Bucharest and on online streaming platforms. The auction for digital art can be paid in cryptocurrency, specifically in Ethereum, the most popular electronic currency used in the international art market, and in Bitcoin, the most capitalized electronic currency.

NFT changes the game for many businesses and now it’s revolutionizing the art market. This format is making the digital art sales in NFT format an asset. In my opinion, is a step forward in the art auction gauge.

The international art market exploded when Christie’s, a UK auction house, sold an NFT lot in March 2021 for over 60 million dollars. At the same time, two lots of digital art created by Romanian contemporary artists in NFT format are available for auction as part of the Postmodern and Contemporary Art Auction. The A10 by Artmark Auction House is holding its second art auction with a segment dedicated to digital art in NFT format, with the inaugural event in July 2021. The word “Ultra emotions” created by the multidisciplinary artist Eurosadboy, will be auctioned on February 22 for a starting price of EUR 600, according to Artmark.

The audiovisual depicts contemporary humanity’s current consensus, integrating 3D visual effects with music to create a virtual reality experience in the meta cosmos. The second digital work, in NFT format, invites the viewer to escape from ordinary life in a parallel universe that, while creating a sense of familiarity, does so by integrating features that are distinctive to the culture of the 1980s and 1990s, but in which technology reigns supreme. Alexandrin Damascan created the digital piece “Station 1986,” which has a starting price of EUR 600.

The company claimed that as part of its 2022 portfolio, it would provide broad support for NFTs. The internet giant said in a press release that it would launch “the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator,” which will allow asset owners to share their strange artworks with the world while also acting as a blockchain storefront.

Samsung also promises that its new TV sets will include clever calibration tools that would help customers correctly depict their digital work. The TVs’ innovative calibration technology will adapt display settings “to the creator’s preset values, so you can have peace of mind that your work appears immaculate, with true-to-the-original image quality,” according to the company.

You’ve probably heard of Dolby Vision and Netflix Calibrated Mode, and now NFTs are getting the same treatment. To put it another way, if you’ve spent a lot of money on a non-fungible piece of art, you may be guaranteed that it will look great.

The popularity of NFTs has increased rapidly in recent years. Companies across the world, like OnePlus, Nike, and Coca-Cola, are pinning their hopes on the NFT industry. The year 2022 we will undoubtedly see a significant increase in the number of businesses embracing NFT technology.

Through MICRO LED, Neo QLED, and The Frame, this application provides an accessible, integrated platform for exploring purchasing and trading digital artwork.

More information about Samsung’s NFT platform should become available once compatible TVs are released later this year. While the South Korean company is the first to jump on the blockchain bandwagon, it is unlikely to be the last. If you want to watch NFTs right now from your living room, nothing stops you from downloading one and watching it on the big screen.

For those of you who are not familiarized with this trend, NFTs can be something like this:

Do you like it? It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. Somebody paid 400 USD just to have it. It’s his NFT now. Yes, we can post it here, as an example, but it’s not ours; it’s his. And it’s unique. One of a kind, only to be found on the ‘Stramosi’ project.

What’s so interesting about this particular NFT? It has been crafted by using facial characteristics of different Romanian personalities:

• hair belongs to Mihail Sadoveanu – famous Romanian writer
• ears belong to George Enescu – famous Romanian composer
• face belongs to Constantin Nottara – famous Romanian theatre artist
• beard belongs to Petre Ispirescu – famous Romanian publicist and author
• etc.

Even the background replicates a specific color from Romanian folklore. But you can check all the characteristics of this particular NFT from the ‘Stramosi’ collection on the listing from Trustmarket, the Elrond NFT market.

What is ‘Stramosi’ and what is the aim of the project?

“Stramosi’ is the Romanian word for ‘ancestors’. There are 10,000 ancestors in the NFT collection of “Stramosi’, each one unique. Each of them costs 1 EGLD. At the moment we write this article, the price of EGLD is $358.07, but it fluctuates like any other crypto coin.

“Stramosi” is a very interesting project of the developers from Elrond, the first Romanian third-generation blockchain platform to expand internationally. According to the founders, ‘Stramosi’ intends to help Romanian tourism by creating Romania’s first blockchain travel platform. This would finally replace the ‘help’ of the state institutions filled with bored public clerks waiting for the monthly salaries in their dull offices, not doing anything particular, and not promoting Romainian tourism at all.

A collection of wacky, unique characters that were inspired by the vibrant folklore of Romania and driven by Elrond’s continuous growth. Stramosi is the first NFT collection offered on Elrond and marks the fusion between blockchain technology, modern art and historical legacy.

Description of Stramosi project

The funds gathered with “Stramosi” will be used to develop the tourism platform on Elrond blockchain technology and promote it, thus helping the Romanian travel entrepreneurs get clients.

Would you like one NFT of this kind? Not only will you acquire a unique collectible piece, but you will also help Elrond help Romanian tourism. All you have to do is check the link of the project Stramosi and choose one. Moreover, for each EGLD (Elrond’s cryptocurrency) bought, you’ll get one Stramosi. Nice, right?

For any of you not yet familiar with Romanian attractions, we recommend you get a glimpse of it by checking our partner project: Visit Bucharest Today! Not only does it present Bucharest’s attractions, but it also offers you the attractions and destinations in Romania: Dracula’s Castle, Peles Castle, Black Sea, Brasov, Sibiu, and many more.
