Our very first NFT’s come as a set of two initial characters, built on a blockchain, with plans to expand.
Having created our first two NFT characters, Armenian Boy and Armenian Girl, in June of 2022, the next phase for us was to list the artwork on OpenSea for sale. OpenSea is a leading online marketplace for digital collectibles.
As teen entrepreneurs, we are always looking for new ways to innovate through technology, and to best achieve our dreams of raising awareness about our Armenian heritage and specifically the modern-day aggressions toward our country. It would help us the most to list our artwork for potential buyers and collectors to access.
With our NFTs, we hope to bring high-quality artwork to the Armenian digital community and connect the gap between our characters in the blockchain and the rest of the world. The pair of Armenian Boy and Armenian Girl NFTs represent the idea that all Armenians, whether in the motherland or in the widespread diaspora share a common thread that overcomes distance and oceans.
We attribute our strong sense of identity and community to the spirit of our resilient nation. Each NFT displays specific physical attributes typical in our culture and plays up certain traits to amplify the Armenian voice in this new digital world.
To ensure a proper listing on OpenSea, with our dad’s help, we determined a price per artwork and an overall quantity associated with each piece listed. Each piece is listed for approx. $150, and there are 921 available copies of each NFT. 921 represents 9/21/91 which is Armenian independence day.
Our NFTs are currently for sale on OpenSea. Allowing our supporters to follow our growth, while gaining ownership in the first debut of Armenian NFTs, will without a doubt boost the Armenian voice and influence in the digital marketplace.
As we work towards finishing middle-school, our long-term goals are to create a community to connect Armenian teens and launch several additional NFT characters to build our portfolio with various additional characters.
A year from now, we hope to re-invest in our community by sharing more characters, ranging from leading professions and careers throughout our community.
