Protect Your Art With Solsea
Meet Solsea.
Solsea is an art marketplace for digital artists. Solsea is also the first marketplace to feature embedded licensing, so buyers can verify its authenticity without worrying about fake items. This is the first of its kind, and we can now say goodbye to fake digital products.
Solsea accepts a variety of payment systems, such as cryptocurrencies, social tokens, and can even be used within the metaverse of art, music, and other forms of digital content, like, a rare artwork for instance. Rare artworks are tokenized, a simple process that converts your art into a digital footprint called NFT.
But, why should you even bother with artworks? Lets dive in.
In the old days, many people invested in art, mainly because of the thing called flipping. Flipping is a very lucrative activity, where folks like you and me try to buy at lower prices, and sell it at a later date, hopefully with at least 2x the profit. This was a highly sought after industry during the days when computers weren’t invented yet. Back in those days, no one knew about copy&paste and the only way to create a copy of an art is to literally draw it from scratch. This often resulted in generating high transaction fees, especially when dealing with art curators and galleries, and even some governments who are also looking into getting a big chunk of that income pie.
THE ADVENT OF COMPUTERS
When computers came into existence, there was little demand for artworks since everyone basically had an amazing wallpaper, which was pretty much the same experience, although they weren’t able to buy it and sell it on any marketplace.
I mean, why would you, when you can just simply copy and paste the image on your phone.
THIS low demand led to the degradation of the art economy, very similar to how Spotify actually made the musicians less money. While Spotify created an amazing subscription-based business model that benefited most of the consumers, since they didn’t have to pay per album, this also led to artists suffering income loss, because of the rise of distributor fees. Many would argue that distributors help in promoting artists, but for the majority of musicians, the income was not enough, leading them to either find alternative ways of earning like selling shirts and merchandise, creating concerts, or just simply quit their music careers altogether and attempt to find a more practical, office job.
Computers were a great invention, but at the same time, it also disrupted some of the income ways that people’s lives depended on. Musicians, artists, content creators, all of these creative careers never really earned like a real office job, well, not until the concept of digital license was made. This was a great step towards improving the creative industry. After all, who doesn’t want to listen to music while going about on a daily routine?
But even with the presence of a digital license, scammers are still able to penetrate the ecosystem, which meant that the thought of having a marketplace where people can buy or sell legit copies was impossible. Thankfully, on May 3 2014, two folks named Kevin McCoy and Anil Dash, created the concept of NFTs, a piece of file that contained a code that enabled it to be bought, and at the same time, can also be sold as an authentic item, with a proof of public ownership and a timestamp that can be viewed by anyone online.
THE RISE OF FEES — solved by Solsea
This file can be anything — music, video, a picture, an artwork, or even a twitter post of Jack Dorsey, which by the way, currently was sold at 2.9 million dollars, after several offers from investors. This NFT thing was powered by a cryptocurrency called Ethereum, and for almost 2 years, Ethereum fees have risen to such a high amount of $300 per transaction, that buying or selling NFTs in this marketplace is almost impractical if you only have less than $500 to invest, almost limiting its customers to only serve the most advanced nations. This is because of the underlying code of Ethereum that relies heavily on high speed computers, which consumes huge electricity.
This is where Solsea comes in. By introducing a more advanced technology that didn’t rely on the use of high speed computers, it was able to create an ecosystem with negligible transaction fees. It solved the problem of Ethereum with regards to electricity costs, and even was able to increase the speed of transactions, which also used to be the problem with Ethereum as its demand grew to such huge scales.
Solsea combines both worlds of investors, creators, and even the majority of folks like you and me, the buy&sell communities. There are many benefits of using Solsea. Some grow their savings by purchasing digital art and storing it for a future sell profit, while some purchase the Solsea token called Solana, and use it to pay bills, purchase goods, or even send money to family & friends in an instant, just like sending a screenshot of your food.
For enthusiasts, more features are coming soon. In the meantime, Solsea is currently where ethereum users are migrating on a massive scale. If you wanna stay updated with Solsea, check out their official links, which I’ll also link down below.
