ArtSect receives Boson Protocol Ecosystem Grant
Enabling digital to physical real-world click and collect experience with Boson technology.
ArtSect has been awarded a Boson Protocol Ecosystem Grant to enable digital to physical real-world click and collect experience with Boson technology. Boson Protocol’s $5Million Grants Program is an initiative designed to reward innovation and to incentivize the thinkers and doers who will help us create an entirely new commerce ecosystem.
Boson Protocol enables anyone to sell physical products as NFTs, without the need for a centralized intermediary. ArtSect is the first DAO operated gallery in the world to be based both in a physical space and in the open metaverse.
We envisage Boson as the fundamental layer that will enable an entirely new type of commerce (dCommerce) ecosystem. The future of commerce is digital — and it is decentralized. We have chosen the metaverse as the first showcase for the principles of dCommerce (read here about why we think the Open Metaverse is so important).
This is why we have developed Boson Portal: the metaverse marketplace for selling physical products as NFTs. Portal demonstrates the possibilities of how brands can develop experiential, gamified commercial experiences that have never been envisaged before. Enabling click and collect is just one of the experiential attractions that we will expect to see in the metaverse. Seeing is believing, and while we could continue to build our ecosystem on our own, we believe that the future of technology is a shared future. We therefore hope that our vision of Portal will inspire and attract more collaborators into our ecosystem.
We want individuals and enterprises to join us in our mission. Building an ecosystem takes time and effort. But we also recognize that great work needs to be incentivized. It does not happen in a vacuum, which is why we are offering up to £50,000 per project to encourage others to help us create the interconnected components that anyone can use.
Digital to Physical
ArtSect harnesses the power of Web3 technology to foster collaboration and dialogue between communities. As people get used to shopping in the metaverse, they need to be able to seamlessly collect their physical items.
“As an innovative decentralised arts collective with Immersive IRL gallery spaces, we are excited to join forces with Boson Protocol to augment our interactive blockchain galleries IRL and in the metaverse. The ArtSectDAO curation team is in full support of the high standards Boson are setting for our emergent scene.”
Miki Maharishi, ArtSectDAO
We need to be able to shop and display our possessions in the same way we do in real life as we move seamlessly between the real world and the virtual one.
At Boson, we are committed to building out an entire Boson Protocol commerce ecosystem, and our Grants Program (which will ultimately be voted on by our DAO) is an integral part of this.
We are especially looking for people who can build in the following areas:
- dCommerce applications and components
- Metaverse commerce
- Tooling and developer experience
We will soon be releasing more details about Wave 2 of our Grants program, where we will have specified targets and incentives.
Help us build the future of commerce.
