Why should I buy a WeatherVaults NFT?
Purchasing a WeatherVaults NFT means owning a one-of-a-kind, blockchain-certified piece of digital art. Each NFT captures a unique moment in time—a specific location’s weather, preserved forever through the fusion of art and technology. While prints of the artwork may be available to others, owning the NFT ensures that you hold the exclusive, original digital artifact, making it a perfect addition to your art or NFT collection.
Which WeatherVaults art is available as NFTs?
Anything in WeatherVaults is available for minting, except the pieces marked Studio Selection. Main Releases (images in Museum, Travel, Whimsy, Dread, and Nexus) are minted on OpenSea monthly. Everything in the Alternates vault is available to mint on demand and viewable in the Custom Mints gallery on SmugMug. Reach out to us on Discord to purchase a custom mint.
What do I own when I purchase a WeatherVaults NFT?
When you buy a WeatherVaults NFT, you receive exclusive digital ownership of the artwork, authenticated through blockchain technology. This includes:
- Provenance: Your ownership is recorded and secured on the blockchain, ensuring its authenticity.
- Display and Resale Rights: You can display your NFT in your digital collection and resell it in NFT marketplaces if you choose.
Please note: Purchasing an NFT does not transfer commercial rights to reproduce or monetize the artwork beyond personal use.
Can other people still buy prints of the artwork?
Yes, WeatherVaults artwork will remain available for print-on-demand products through SmugMug. This allows a broader audience to enjoy the art in physical form. However, the NFT represents the original, authenticated digital version of the artwork, which is exclusively yours as the owner.
Think of it this way: prints are like posters sold in a museum gift shop, while the NFT is the original painting hanging in the gallery.
What makes WeatherVaults NFTs valuable?
- Exclusivity: Each NFT is tied to a specific weather event and location, making it a singular piece of digital history.
- Authenticity: Blockchain technology ensures your NFT is verifiably unique and original.
- Investment Potential: As WeatherVaults grows in prominence, your NFT may increase in value on the secondary market.
How does WeatherVaults ensure the art is one-of-a-kind?
Each WeatherVaults NFT is created based on specific, real-world weather data at a single moment in time, combined with the artistry of AI. Once minted, that artwork is never replicated, ensuring its scarcity and uniqueness.
Are there perks to owning a WeatherVaults NFT?
