We’ve printed video NFTs for Beeple, Steve Aoki, Frank Guzzone, GREG MIKE, and soon many more.

Infinite Objects was founded with the belief that digital content, specifically video, is worth more than just a ‘like’ or retweet. We believe video can be scarce, valuable, and ownable. NFTs have proven our thesis faster than anyone imagined, and we’re thrilled to finally announce our first official blockchain integration.

One of the most powerful paradigms of NFTs is authentication and ownership. Provenance in the digital art and content world has been virtually non-existent — until now. It’s important to us to abide by this standard, as our product was designed to integrate authenticity and provenance since day 1.

The backside of Infinite Objects Video Prints can feature signed certificates of provenance, as well as QR codes to prove authenticity and bridge the gap between the physical and the digital.

We want NFT collectors to be able to live with the art they’ve collected, outside of a browser or phone. But it’s critical for us that we are authenticating their ownership before printing a video NFT, and more importantly, we want the creator to have a say in how their IP is treated and sold.

So, we’ve created the IO Artist Registry — a Smart Contract for artists that grants collectors the right to print a video NFT they created, set the price-point for those prints, and collect royalties on every Video Print created and sold to their collectors.

Signing the IO Artist Registry Smart Contract is simple:

  1. Visit the Artist Registry and Sign in to MetaMask using the wallet used when minting your NFTs.
  2. Make selections to grant collectors the right to print your NFTs and set the price point for your NFT video prints.
  3. Click “Sign Contract” and wait for the blockchain confirmation. That’s it!

In 3–4 weeks from now we will launch the “Print Your NFT” experience for collectors. They will authenticate their wallet, and if they own an NFT created by an address which has signed the Artist Registry Contract, they’ll be able to print an NFT and the creator will receive a royalty from the sale.

We know that collectors will love to bring their NFTs into their IRL space (they literally cannot stop messaging us about it), and we’re thrilled to enable this in an authenticated process, that involves and rewards artists and creators.
