Practical NFTs: The Changing Digital Identity

Practical NFTs: The Changing Digital Identity
Understanding and Navigating the Current Environment, and How to Build and Launch an NFT Face-to Face Training

Date: 26^th September 2022
EQ Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Why this course?

The market for digital assets has changed beyond recognition over the past months. Valuations of components of crypto ecosystems have collapsed almost overnight, and previously high-profile crypto projects have disintegrated. Supposedly secure tokens such as stablecoins have been exposed, and many investors have lost money. Further change and evolution is almost inevitable. With it comes considerable uncertainty and unpredictability.

Why has this happened? What is the future for digital assets? What components and segments of the market are here to stay, and how will they be applied to today’s financial ecosystem? These questions are on everyone’s lips, and there are no straightforward answers.

During this one-day, face-to-face program we will attempt to provide at least some of the answers. Perhaps more importantly, we will equip you with the information and expertise to make your own assessment.

The first half of the module will re-examine the crypto market, with the current market conditions and movements very much in mind. The second part of the program is dedicated to perhaps the most exciting and promising component of today’s digital asset market: Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs. What are they, and why do they hold promise? How can they be applied to today’s financial market? By the end of this session, you will be in possession of a blockchain wallet and have published your very own NFT to the Ethereum blockchain.
