The world's cultural heritage is preserved one NFT at a time

The Monuverse takes some of the world's most treasured landmarks and preserves them forever as NFTs in the digital universe.

Use cases for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have evolved from punks and pixelated monkeys to real-world applications like real estate contracts and music royalties. Another use case is surfacing as the Monuverse uses NFTs to preserve cultural heritages around the world.

Through a combination of blockchain technology, 3D imaging, generative art, and local collaboration, the Monuverse uses NFTs to transform important global landmarks into digital reality where they will be preserved forever.< /p>

Monuverse's first NFT project of this caliber spotlights the Arco della Pace, or Arch of Peace, in Milan, Italy.

The initial digital rendering of the monument will not be available for individual ownership under the precipice of Intellectual Property Law and permission from the Italian Ministry of Culture: Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscapes, Milan Authority.

However, a subsequent drop of 7,777 random NFTs gives individuals a piece of the monument's virtual counterpart and access to related events. These NFTs also open up a new means by which owners can patronize cultural heritage.

Cointelegraph spoke with Andrea Salomone, co-founder of Monuverse, to understand how NFTs can help further preserve this cultural heritage and boost virtual tourism efforts.
