Advice and Answers from the Creath Marketplace Team
Have you ever stared at a piece of art and felt like you were transported into another dimension? That's exactly how I felt when I first saw Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night". The swirling blues and yellows seemed to come alive, pulling me into a world where the night sky danced and stars pulsed with energy. It was like stepping into the artist's mind, seeing the world through his eyes for just a moment.
That experience got me thinking: how did we get here? How did human creativity evolve from simple cave paintings to works that can practically leap off the canvas and into our souls? Join me on a journey through time as we explore the fascinating evolution of art.
Our story begins deep in the past, in dimly lit caves where our ancestors first put pigment to wall. Imagine being an early human, using charcoal and ochre to capture the animals you hunted, creating images that would last for tens of thousands of years. These weren't just pictures – they were a way to communicate, to share experiences, to make sense of the world.
As we step out of the caves and into the light of ancient civilizations, art takes on new roles. In Egypt, massive sculptures and intricate tomb paintings tell stories of gods and pharaohs. Greek artists carve marble into forms so lifelike you'd almost expect them to breathe. Art becomes a language, a way to share culture and beliefs across generations.
Wandering into the Middle Ages, we find ourselves in soaring cathedrals, where sunlight streams through stained glass windows, painting the floors with biblical stories. In a world where few could read, these were the picture books that taught people about their faith.
But change is coming. As we enter the Renaissance, it's like someone's adjusted the focus on a camera. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo aren't just painters – they're scientists and innovators, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in art. Standing in front of the Mona Lisa, you can almost feel the weight of her gaze.
The Industrial Revolution changed everything, including art. New materials and manufacturing techniques meant art could be mass-produced for the first time. Art was no longer just for the rich – it could be enjoyed by everyone.
In the 20th century, artists decided to shake things up. They broke away from traditional ideas about what art should look like. Famous artists like Jackson Pollock threw paint at canvases, creating abstract expressionist works that challenged the very definition of art.
With the rise of computers, artists found a whole new playground. Digital tools allowed for new forms of expression. Artists like Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) create mind-bending digital illustrations that blur the line between reality and fantasy. His collage "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" sold for a staggering $69 million, showing just how valuable digital art has become.
Now we're in the age of blockchain and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), where digital artworks can be bought, sold, and owned just like physical paintings. Pak's artwork "The Merge" sold for $91.8 million, making it the most expensive artwork ever sold by a living artist – and it exists only as digital tokens.
As our journey comes to an end, we find ourselves back in the present, maybe standing in front of a piece like "The Starry Night" once again. But now, we see it with new eyes. We see the long thread of human creativity that stretches from those first cave paintings all the way to the digital art of today.
Art has been our constant companion throughout history, evolving alongside us, always finding new ways to express the human experience. So the next time you look at a piece of art, remember – you're not just seeing a painting or a sculpture. You're seeing a small part of our collective journey as human beings, a journey of creativity, innovation, and endless wonder.
What will the next step in that journey be? As technology continues to advance, who knows what amazing forms art will take? Whatever comes, one thing is certain – as long as there are humans, there will be art, in all its wonderful, weird, and beautiful forms.
In Nigeria, the preservation of cultural heritage through art can be vividly seen in the case of the Nok culture. The Nok people, who lived around 1000 BC to 300 AD, are renowned for their terracotta sculptures. These intricate sculptures provide a window into the past, depicting the social and religious life of the Nok people. The terracotta art of Nok is not only significant for its aesthetic value but also for its role in understanding the early history of West Africa. Efforts to preserve these artifacts and educate the public about their historical context are crucial for maintaining Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
Art has always been a powerful medium for preserving cultural heritage, acting as a living testament to the history, traditions, and stories of various communities. Through art, we can capture the essence of our ancestors' way of life, beliefs, and values, ensuring that these cultural treasures are passed down to future generations. Let’s consider how art serves as a form of historique and its significance in preserving our rich cultural heritage.
Artists are the custodians of cultural heritage, using their creativity and skills to keep our history alive. Through their work, they capture the essence of their culture and share it with the world. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is essential to support and encourage artists to continue creating and telling their stories.
At Creath, we recognize the vital role artists play in preserving cultural heritage. We invite artists to mark their imprint by showcasing their work on our digital art marketplace. By doing so, they contribute to a global narrative that celebrates and preserves our diverse cultural heritage.

Welcome to a new era of creativity, transparency, and innovation with Creath.
Creath is a next-generation tech company that delivers Web3, FinTech, PropTech, and Blockchain services. Our company comprises skilled individuals in Blockchain Development, Web Development, Marketing, Visual & Digital Art, Financial Trading, Art Curation, Community Management, Brand Design, and Project Management.
Our platform has an integrated marketplace built on the Ethereum Blockchain. This marketplace will serve as a gallery for artists to display their digitized artworks to a diverse audience.
The Creath marketplace is designed to be a digital gallery for artists, curators, collectors, and art lovers. The platform is easy to navigate and provides the best user experience. The marketplace attracts a global target audience that will participate in primary sales of our curated collections.
As an artist in partnership with us, your works will be seamlessly available to potential collectors worldwide.
A curated art collection is a collection that is carefully selected by a team of professionals for a particular target audience — usually because of its cultural value or aesthetics. Creath has a team of curators responsible for determining the collections to be displayed on the marketplace.
The curated collections will include generative art, hand-drawn digital art, and digitized physical artworks.
We digitise contemporary artworks into high-resolution Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) on the Blockchain. We also convert digital art to framed physical copies. We provide our primary collectors the original physical art of the NFTs purchased on our platform signed by the artist.
The Golden Ticket is a mint pass to all our holders. It will serve as a placeholder in the whitelisting of future projects. There is a limited supply of 1,000 Golden Tickets.
Asides from digital art curation, art sales, and exhibitions, Creath offers other Web3 and Blockchain services. These include:
Two Brothers and One Lumbo is a QR Code group Exhibition supported by Creath. The exhibition, taking place from August 5 to August 7, is a way of bringing digital and physical artists together within the Web3 space.
Registration for the event is still ongoing, and anyone interested is welcome to register.
The Creath marketplace is built on the ERC-20 chain and is compatible with ERC-20 stable tokens like USDT. Our developers have performed some minting exercises, alongside unit testing, on the marketplace to test the compatibility and functionalities of the platform.
Anyone using a hardware wallet can still make transactions on Creath through WalletConnect and MetaMask.
The Creath platform charges 20% for any art collection listed on the platform. Once any token is bought, 20% of the token’s price is sent to the Creath treasury address while the 80% balance instantly goes to the artist.
How Do Primary Sales Happen on Creath?
When artists submit their collections to us, we help them convert the art to NFT. The NFT generated through minting is held in the Creath treasury. Once the collection is ready for primary sales, it will be listed at a fixed price (determined by the artist) on the Creath marketplace. Interested external users can proceed to buy the listed NFT and gain ownership of the purchased token. Once ownership is transferred to the buyer, the NFT can be viewed on any secondary marketplace (like OpenSea) or NFT wallet.
Creath marketplace also supports secondary sales. Anyone who wishes to resell their collected tokens to other collectors can do so on our platform.

As the popularity of blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps) surges, the limitations of the Ethereum network become more apparent. High gas fees, slow transaction times, and limited scalability have become pressing concerns for the Ethereum community. In response to these challenges, Layer 2 solutions have emerged as a promising remedy to enhance the efficiency and scalability of the Ethereum blockchain. Among these solutions, “Optimism” stands out as one of the most anticipated and promising Layer 2 networks.
Before delving into Optimism, let’s grasp the concept of Layer 2 solutions. Ethereum’s main bottleneck lies in its consensus mechanism and the way it processes transactions. Layer 2 refers to secondary protocols or frameworks that work on top of the Ethereum mainnet, alleviating congestion and improving performance. These solutions enable off-chain processing of transactions, reducing the burden on the mainnet and subsequently enhancing scalability.
Optimism is a Layer 2 scaling solution that employs Optimistic Rollups, a technology created to address Ethereum’s scalability issues. The team behind Optimism aims to significantly increase the throughput of the Ethereum network, thereby reducing gas fees and improving transaction speeds without compromising security.
Optimistic Rollups use a combination of on-chain and off-chain processes to achieve scalability. It enables off-chain processing of transactions, minimizing the data that needs to be stored on the Ethereum mainnet while still ensuring the security and integrity of the network.
The process begins with users submitting transactions to an off-chain entity called the “Optimistic Rollup.” This entity processes and validates the transactions before generating a compressed summary of the processed data. This summary, also known as the “rollup,” is then submitted to the Ethereum mainnet.
One of the essential features of Optimistic Rollups is the inclusion of “fraud proofs.” These are mechanisms that ensure the validity of transactions and protect against malicious actors. In the event that an invalid transaction is submitted, anyone can submit a fraud-proof to challenge it. This triggers a dispute process on the Ethereum mainnet, leading to the invalid transaction being rolled back.
By including fraud proofs, Optimistic Rollups maintain the security guarantees of the Ethereum mainnet while benefitting from the scalability offered by off-chain processing.
Scalability: Optimism dramatically enhances the throughput of the Ethereum network, potentially processing thousands of transactions per second. This scalability boost reduces congestion and lowers gas fees, making the Ethereum ecosystem more accessible and cost-effective for users.
Seamless Integration: One of the significant advantages of Optimistic Rollups is its compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts. Developers can seamlessly port their dApps and projects to the Layer 2 network with minimal modifications.
User Experience: Faster transaction times and lower fees translate into a better user experience. Users can interact with dApps more efficiently and economically, making Ethereum-based applications more attractive and user-friendly.
Environmental Impact: By reducing gas fees and lowering the energy consumption of transactions, Optimism contributes to a greener and more sustainable blockchain ecosystem.
Optimism introduced the OP token on May 31st, providing an “airdrop” opportunity where 214 million OP tokens were available for free to 231,000 eligible addresses. This airdrop represents 5% of the total token supply, leaving the remaining 95% yet to be released.
The Token House, a part of the Optimism Collective with the Citizens’ House, is powered by the OP cryptocurrency. The Collective controls protocol updates, treasury distributions, and network settings.
In the upcoming fourth quarter of 2023, Creath has unveiled its strategy to initiate a launch on the Optimism (OP) Mainnet.
Optimism enhances network speed and transaction affordability by consolidating and sending multiple transactions as one to Ethereum’s Mainnet, reducing congestion and gas fees. Creath recognizes vast growth potential on OP Mainnet, aiming to optimize app efficiency and user access.
Creath aims to acquaint its community with OP token benefits. While Creath Art Marketplace currently operates on ERC-20 with USDC and fiat, the OP Mainnet shift enables OP token transactions and airdrops. Optimism has concluded two OP token airdrop rounds, with anticipation for a third.
Expect more on Creath’s Optimism move soon. Stay updated on goals via Creath’s social media.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot topic in the world of technology. It’s changing the way businesses operate and how people work, but it’s also raising concerns about job loss. In this article, we’ll explore what artificial intelligence can do for both employers and employees.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence to complete. It involves the development of algorithms and computer programs that can learn from data and experience, and make decisions and predictions based on that learning. AI can be used in a wide variety of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, robotics, and more. Some of the subfields of AI include machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and computer vision. AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries, from healthcare and finance to transportation and manufacturing.
AI is a hot topic in the world of technology. It’s not just robots that can walk on their own, now we’re talking about computers that learn and make decisions on their own.
AI has been used to improve the performance of businesses and organizations, as well as individuals. The use of AI has grown exponentially over time. However, there are still many questions about how it impacts work environments and career paths for people who work with artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
AI can be used to improve the efficiency of businesses. For example, it’s possible to use AI to increase employee productivity and customer service.
A company that uses artificial intelligence will be able to:
AI can help businesses improve efficiency. As AI technologies become more advanced, they will be able to do certain tasks that were previously considered too complex or expensive for human involvement. For example, some companies are already using AI to automate reviews of resumes and job applicants’ past work history, so they don’t need as much time or money on hiring processes anymore.
AI can also help businesses save on hiring and training costs. All employers should consider this if they want their business to run smoothly; if not, then it might cause problems down the road!
While low-skilled professions are seriously threatened, AI will provide a place for an entirely novel category of jobs that can be learned through training. AI is expected to create more jobs than it kills off.
This is possible because, at the end of the day, human judgment and intervention are less likely to be surpassed by AI
According to a 2015 report by the McKinsey Global Institute, artificial intelligence (AI) could create 4 million additional jobs in the US alone by 2030. The research firm predicts that AI will boost productivity and efficiency, which means workers who are replaced by machines won’t be unemployed as they might have been before. Instead of being unemployed, they’ll be able to work at higher-paying jobs with better benefits and security — or maybe even start their own business!
The unemployment rate is expected to decline further. The unemployment rate is expected to decline from 4.1% to 3.9% in 2020, and then further still to 3.6%. This trend was observed after the Great Recession when unemployment dropped from 10% at its peak in 2009 to 4%.
AI is a tool that can be used to automate certain tasks. It’s been used for years, but it’s only recently become more sophisticated and accurate than human workers. AI has been so effective at automating tasks that many jobs will be replaced by automation or robotics soon.
For example, imagine if you were asked to do something like drive a car or collect trash from your apartment complex. You could easily do both things with an app on your phone! Even though we may not think about them much now — we have already gone far down this path with Google Maps and Amazon Alexa — you might not even need human labor anymore when it comes time for new updates (or older ones).
AI can help businesses improve efficiency, but everyone must have an opportunity to learn new skills.
If you’re a business owner and you don’t have time to train new employees, artificial intelligence could help your company save money, time, and energy. This technology could even save labor dollars — if your workers don’t have enough training on how to use their machines or equipment they’ll needlessly spend hours doing repetitive tasks that could be automated by AI instead.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence is already having a profound impact on the job market. As more and more jobs are automated, it will become harder for humans to compete. This will likely lead to higher unemployment and lower wages. But what if your skills are not up to par? There are still many opportunities for those who want to make themselves valuable again by learning how AI can improve their ability at work!

Art has long been appreciated for its aesthetic and cultural value. However, it has also emerged as a viable investment option in recent years. The art market has experienced significant growth, attracting both seasoned investors and newcomers seeking to diversify their portfolios. However, investing in art requires careful consideration and a strategic approach to maximize returns. In this article, we will explore the world of art as an investment, discuss critical factors to consider, and provide guidance on navigating the market effectively.
The first step in art investment is to understand the art market comprehensively. It is a complex and dynamic environment influenced by various factors, including artists’ reputations, art movements, historical significance, and market trends. Research and education play a vital role in making informed investment decisions.
Investing in art requires careful selection. It is essential to focus on artworks with strong investment potential. Factors to consider include the artist’s reputation, career trajectory, critical acclaim, and demand in the market. Emerging artists with potential for future growth can be attractive investment opportunities, while established artists with a proven track record often offer stability.
As with any investment portfolio, diversification is key. A diverse collection of art can help mitigate risks and maximize returns. Investing in different art mediums, styles, and artists from various periods ensures that your portfolio is not overly dependent on the success of a single artist or art movement.
Navigating the art market can be challenging, especially for newcomers. Seeking guidance from art experts, consultants, or galleries can provide valuable insights. These professionals have in-depth knowledge of the art market and trends and can offer advice on making sound investment choices. However, it is crucial to do your due diligence and choose advisors with a reputable track record.
Preserving the condition of artworks is crucial to maintaining their value. Proper storage, handling, and insurance are essential. Additionally, ensuring the authenticity of artworks is vital, as the market is susceptible to forgeries. Authenticating artworks through experts or reputable institutions adds credibility and value to your investment.
Investing in art requires a long-term perspective. While some artworks may experience immediate appreciation, others may take years or even decades to appreciate significantly. Patience and a willingness to hold onto artwork for an extended period are essential to maximize returns.
Keeping abreast of market trends and conducting thorough research is crucial. Monitoring auction results, gallery exhibitions, and art fairs can provide insights into emerging artists and upcoming art movements. Understanding the dynamics of the market and timing your investments strategically can contribute to maximizing returns.
Investing in art requires financial planning. Establishing a budget and factoring in costs such as acquisition fees, insurance, storage, and potential restoration expenses is essential. It is also crucial to consider liquidity, as art is not as easily liquidated as traditional investments. Selling artwork may involve additional costs such as commissions, auction fees, or taxes.
Art funds and investment vehicles can be viable options for individuals looking for a more indirect approach to art investment. Art funds pool investments from multiple individuals and invest in a portfolio of artworks. This approach allows for greater diversification and professional management of the investment.
Art as an investment can be a rewarding endeavor when approached with knowledge, research, and careful planning. Navigating the art market requires a combination of passion, expertise, and a long-term perspective. By understanding the market, selecting artworks wisely, seeking expert advice, and diversifying your portfolio, you can increase the chances of maximizing returns.

The world of Web3 is rapidly evolving, and gathering significant popularity across several parts of the world. This increasing interest is evident in the high number of Web-3-related searches in recent years.
So individuals and businesses need to stay informed about the latest trends to stay ahead of the curve. In this article, we will explore some of the hidden trends that experts believe will shape the future of Web3 in 2023.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is one of the most significant trends in the Web3 space in recent years, and it is expected to continue to grow in popularity in 2023. DeFi platforms allow users to access financial services such as lending, borrowing, and trading without the use of centralized intermediaries. While investment in DeFi and crypto gives you the opportunity to make large profits, it also comes with some typical risks.
By using blockchain technology, DeFi platforms can provide these services in a secure, trustless, and decentralized manner. This has the potential to democratize access to financial services, giving more people access to these services, and disrupting traditional financial institutions. Now with many businesses and investors interested in DeFi, we are likely going to experience more liquidity flow in 2023.
Thanks to DeFi insurance, investors can secure and protect their acquired assets from hacks or scams. This is a trend that will definitely become more popular throughout the year and beyond.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have been gaining traction in recent years, and they are expected to become even more popular in 2023. NFTs are unique digital assets that can represent anything from art and collectibles to virtual real estate. They are stored on a blockchain, making them resistant to and allowing for true ownership and provenance.
This allows for a new level of digital ownership and has the potential to open up new opportunities for businesses and individuals. Also, several NFT trading platforms are now working on the development of mechanisms that will promote the smooth exchange of NFTs. The creation of these liquidity tools will provide faster NFT trades and stabilise the market.
As more people and businesses adopt Web3 technologies, scalability will become increasingly important. Solutions such as sharding, sidechains, and layer 2 protocols aim to increase the number of transactions processed via a blockchain, reducing congestion and increasing speed. This is important because it will make it possible to scale these technologies to meet the increasing demand.
Privacy and security are always a concern in the digital world, and this is mostly true in the Web3 space. In 2023, we can expect to see an increased focus on privacy-enhancing technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, as well as new security solutions to protect against hacking and other malicious actors.
These solutions will help to ensure that users’ personal information and assets are protected and that the integrity of these platforms is maintained.
In recent years, the decentralized finance (DeFi) market has seen explosive growth, with the overall worth stored in DeFi protocols rising from just $1 billion in 2019 to over $20 billion in 2021. As the market continues to mature, we are seeing a trend of market consolidation in the DeFi space.
Market consolidation refers to the process of smaller players in a market being absorbed by larger players. In the DeFi space, this has mainly taken the form of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity. This trend is driven by a number of factors, including the need for increased liquidity, the desire for economies of scale, and the need for increased regulatory compliance.
One of the main drivers of market consolidation in the DeFi space is the need for increased liquidity. Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and other DeFi protocols rely on liquidity pools to function. As the DeFi market grows, so too does the demand for liquidity. By merging with or acquiring other protocols, larger players can increase their liquidity pools and offer a better user experience to their customers.
Interoperability has been a significant challenge in the Web3 space, as different blockchain networks are not always compatible with one another. In 2023, we can expect to see more progress in this area, with new solutions such as cross-chain bridges and atomic swaps allowing several networks to communicate and interact with one another. This will be important to ensure that these different platforms can work together seamlessly and that users can access the services they need.
In conclusion, the world of Web3 continues to experience significant growth, and many new trends are shaping the future of this technology. By keeping an eye on these developments, businesses and individuals can stay ahead of the curve and take advantage of the new opportunities that Web3 technologies will bring. This includes the emergence of DeFi, NFTs, scalability solutions, privacy and security, and interoperability. With these trends, Web3 is becoming more and more mainstream and it is accessible to everyone.

The world experiences technological advancements every day. Digital currency is not strange in the world today, and many people are familiar with terms like Web3, cryptocurrency, NFTs, and the blockchain. As the world advances in blockchain technology, many people are looking more into Web3.
With the introduction of the metaverse, Web3 has become one of the most discussed subjects on the internet, especially among front-end developers. Front-end developers need to know the various trends and developments in Web3 to keep up with the times. This helps them to be better prepared.
Various new opportunities are discovered on the internet daily. Knowing these trends will give you an additional advantage over other front-end developers. Some of these opportunities can be utilised directly or inspire you to start your program. Are you curious about Web3 trends in 2023? Here are ten Web3 trends every front-end developer should know.
Blockchain is one of the most commonly used terms in Web3. It can be defined as a decentralised ledger that allows you to store data. The data stored on the blockchain is spread across a vast network of computers and divided into what are called blocks. These blocks are all interconnected to each other.
When you add more data to the blockchain, it will be placed in an empty block, which will then be connected to the other blocks. This forms a chain-like network of stored data. Any data you input into the blockchain is permanent and can be viewed by anyone. You cannot reverse the process.
NFT stands for Non-Fungible token. It is a popular term that has overtaken the world in recent years. Almost everyone worldwide has heard about NFTs or is involved in them. An NFT is a special token that is unique to a particular asset that has been stored on the blockchain.
The token represents various digital assets you might have on the blockchain, such as art, 3D models, and images. An NFT is a unique item that cannot be copied. It is exclusive to the asset you use it to represent.
Cryptocurrency is also a hot topic in the world today. It can be defined as a digital currency that uses a decentralised system. Hence, it is not controlled by any independent body, such as the government or banks. Many cryptocurrencies are available today, such as bitcoin, Doge, and Ethereum.
Anyone can use cryptocurrency. The decentralised system allows every individual to buy, sell, and trade crypto without worrying about any controlling body. It is also a very safe method of making transactions online. You can easily buy anything with cryptocurrency if you want to purchase anything.
A crypto wallet, just like any other wallet, is used to store cryptocurrency. There are various types of crypto wallets. Some crypto wallets come in software form, while some are small devices. Either way, you can use them to store multiple cryptocurrencies and make transactions.
You can quickly transfer crypto from one wallet to another. All you need is the wallet’s address, and you’re ready. The cryptocurrency in your wallet is perfectly safe, and you don’t have to bother about being stolen.
The metaverse is a revolutionary step in the advancement of the internet. It is a 3D virtual world that you can access from anywhere you are in the world. You can perform many life activities and more on the metaverse, such as hosting or attending an art auction or a music concert.
You can access the metaverse through virtual reality and augmented reality technology. These two methods provide tools to access the 3D virtual space, such as virtual reality helmets and augmented reality glasses. The metaverse can be said to be the most significant recent advancements in technology.
A metamask is very useful as it lets you easily connect with the blockchain. If you have a metamask, you can make any transactions on the blockchain. A metamask enables the owner access to their crypto-wallet through an app or web browser extension.
Metamasks are decentralised and can buy, sell, and store cryptocurrency from anywhere. It is a safe and effective way for individuals to access the blockchain and its services.
A decentralised application is a software application that users can run on a blockchain. Any software that can work inside a blockchain is a DApp. A DApp operates on its own through smart contracts and is open-source. It is open to the public and does not function on just one authority.
DApps are like regular applications in that they also provide specific functions for users on the blockchain. It also allows individuals to perform any transaction directly without going through an intermediary or centralised authority.
A decentralised autonomous organisation is a free platform that allows users to manage code together. This means more than one person can help to manage the code on the forum. You can only run a decentralised autonomous organisation on a blockchain network. It is an open-source medium.
A DAO is constructed by rules which are in the form of codes. It is always open so members of the organisation can manage the rules together. Since it is decentralised, a DAO cannot be influenced by the government or any central authority.
As the name implies, a smart contract is an agreement in the form of a blockchain program. Once the conditions of the contract have been met, the smart contract will be activated. It allows you to perform various actions on the blockchain, such as buying and selling crypto.
Once a specific action has been inputted, the smart contract will be enabled and deliver the resulting action. You can use a smart contract to perform many activities that require two or more parties. It is also speedy and reliable.
Scalability and transaction speed are significant when it comes to the blockchain. Solana is a new, fast-improving blockchain technology offering incredible transaction speed and scalability. Solana helps to process any transaction you have on the blockchain faster and more efficiently.
Web3 is a fascinating topic that is prevalent around the world today. As a front-end developer, there are many Web3 trends you need to be familiar with to help give you an advantage over others. Some Web3 trends every developer should know in 2023 include NFTs, cryptocurrency, and the metaverse.
The digital world is constantly expanding, and several physical activities are digitizing. We have many artists still executing their works with traditional mediums in the art world. The increasing popularity of NFTs has shed more light on the potential of digitized artworks. For this reason, more traditional artists are converting their physical art to digital art.
Creath is a new-generation tech company that offers various Blockchain and Web3 services. One of our services is digitizing physical art. We help our artists convert their physical pieces into high-resolution copies that are just as attractive as the physical ones. These digital copies are minted into NFTs that can be listed on primary and secondary marketplaces.
External users who buy an NFT on the Creath marketplace can request a physical copy from us. The physical copies we provide will have the artist’s signature. The artists we partner with decide the listing price of their NFTs and the duration of auctions.
To promote our marketplace, Creath, in partnership with Kokopelli art gallery, is supporting a unique QR code exhibition called Two Brothers and One Lumbo. Creath marketplace will host the collections of artists in the event, and interested collectors will buy the NFTs directly on our platform.
Two Brothers and One Lumbo is a three-day event from August 5 to August 7. We’ve partnered with a total of ten artists for the exhibition, and we plan to partner with a lot more after the exhibition.
TWO BROTHERS AND ONE LUMBO brings together a selection of works that tackle the socio-political landscape of Nigeria thus generating a visual representation of the numerous opinions and questions presented at a critical period such as this in our country’s framework. It explores the use of satire as a literary device to concretise the mental picture of where we stand as a nation albeit the future expectations from the forthcoming elections.
It marries the display of art in a traditional gallery setting with the fast evolving technology of Art NFT and how it is displayed and interacted with as different methods of expression. This union is the crux of the exhibition. Which is why all the traditionally created NFTs being exhibited will come with the original physical versions when they’re collected.
This births the question of how Art and Technology can be used as effective tools of influencing social/political change in such an environment as Nigeria where technology and art are still mostly dealt the unimportant hand.
Thanks for your reading and support,
The Creath Team.
From the 5th to the 7th of August 2022, Creath, art curation firm and NFT marketplace, held an art exhibition in partnership with Kokopelli Gallery in Lagos. This exhibition was not like your regular exhibition; it had an interesting twist. What was this interesting twist? The art on exhibition was displayed as QR codes. So, to view each art, you had to scan the QR code with your mobile device. It was a special NFT meets physical art event.
The title of the exhibition was Two Brothers And One Lumbo, while the theme was the socio-political climate of Nigeria in the lead-up to general elections in 2023. The art used satire to portray the country’s condition at this critical time in contrast with many Nigerians’ hopes and aspirations for the coming election.
The exhibition had ten contemporary Nigerian artists display their works. The artworks consisted of paintings, photography, digital art, and sculpture.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the audience was impressed with what they saw. They viewed the art and exchanged ideas between themselves. It was a great time for art and discussions about the place of NFT Art in the Nigerian art scene. A talk segment was also held on the second day of the three-day exhibition and was well attended.
To purchase the artworks on display, collectors paid in USDC on Creath’s NFT marketplace. All purchases came with a physical copy of the artwork signed by the artist. Pictures from the exhibition can be found on Creath’s LinkedIn and Twitter pages.
Creath, the brains behind this one-of-a-kind exhibition, is into art curation and exhibition, blockchain and web development, and NFT minting and listing. They also run an NFT marketplace.
Creath marketplace is a place for artists to mint, list, and sell their NFT Art. Creath encourages artists to use various modes of expression to convey their message. USDC is the currency of transaction in the marketplace. Creath aims to link traditional art with digital art, which is why collectors will get the physical version of any art they purchase from the Creath marketplace. Creath promises an excellent user experience for artists and collectors.
The Creath Support and Advisory teams are always ready to guide you every step of the way, whether you are an artist or a collector. Reach out to them today if you have any questions or need assistance or clarification.
Creath is more than the marketplace. The aim is to build an international community of creatives and elite collectors. Aside from art curation/exhibition and blockchain/NFT development, Creath is your go-to place for brand awareness and marketing, market survey, art style, brand survey, community development and discord management, and on-chain voting implementation.
The global adoption of Web3 is on the rise, and knowing nothing about it can make you feel left out. However, there’s still a chance for you to enlighten yourself about Web3 — the Internet’s future.
Web3 is an idea for the evolution of the World Wide Web that includes decentralisation, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics. Hold on; We know you may not be following; Let us guide you better.
Web3 aims to build a decentralised internet on an open, permissionless blockchain network. Now, if you’re someone who’s not familiar with the tech space, it’ll be best to break down this definition into bits; let’s start with what blockchain means.
Blockchain, in simple terms, is a system in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency is maintained across several computers linked in a peer-to-peer network. Blockchain makes system changes, hacking, and cheating difficult or impossible. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger consisting of transactions duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.
Decentralisation refers to transferring control and decision-making from a centralised entity (individual, organisation, or group thereof) to a distributed network. Decentralisation is crucial in Web3 to provide services that users can access without difficulty.
Currently, the Internet is centralised; information travels through and is kept in data centres owned by a small number of companies. A few powerful players control the most widely used services and platforms.
Imagine an internet built, powered, and controlled by its users rather than a small number of influential tech firms, and people are rewarded “tokens” for their participation. The tokens may give holders voting power to make decisions and potentially accumulate real-world value.
Web3 will soon become the new norm. Instead of being restricted to a single web platform, people will soon be able to take their data and history of online interactions with them everywhere they go on the Internet. Social networks, transactions, and businesses based on blockchain have a considerable amount of potential for growth in the next few years.
Some current trends like cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will soon become part of our daily life. Some platforms already enable users to pay for things with cryptocurrencies — so imagine having to pay for a concert ticket in bitcoin and then probably receiving an NFT that confirms you’re the owner.
Imagine attending events in the metaverse, from conferences to parties to concerts. It all sounds bizarre, but these things are already taking place and will continue to do so even more in the near future, so why not get involved now?
You’re probably thinking,” This seems like a lot; how do I get involved? Where do I even start?”
The fact that you have read this article until this point is a great start.
Firstly, you need to equip yourself with knowledge, and you can do so in various ways; get involved by actually getting involved, following blockchain/crypto experts on social media, reading related newsletters, and enrolling in a course on Web3 development or blockchain technology.
All you have to do next is apply the knowledge you have gained. Remember to approach cautiously; it’s still a new space, beware of fraudsters.
Remember, Web3 is the internet of the future, and you’re early!

In Nigeria’s art space, one thing is certain—no one talks about collectors.
You’ll hear about the artist, the curator, the gallery, the exhibition. But when it comes to who’s actually buying the art? Silence. No names, no details, just vague phrases like “a private collector acquired this piece” or “a serious buyer has shown interest.”
It’s an open secret. Curators protect their collector lists like classified intelligence. Galleries close deals behind shut doors. Even artists, the ones actually creating the work, often don’t know who owns their pieces after a sale.
But the question is: Is this secrecy helping or hurting the Nigerian art space?
There are understandable reasons for privacy. Many collectors—especially high-net-worth individuals—aren’t looking for attention. They see art as a passion, an investment, or even a wealth storage method, and they prefer to operate discreetly.
Some worry about security. In a country where wealth can attract the wrong kind of interest, keeping a low profile is a smart move. Others fear being hounded by artists, curators, and dealers once their buying power becomes public knowledge.
And then there’s the power dynamic. In an industry where access is everything, controlling who knows who means controlling opportunities. Keeping collector information exclusive allows certain stakeholders—dealers, curators, gallery owners—to maintain leverage.
But at what cost?
The Nigerian art market appears to be expanding, but without clear data, it’s hard to say for sure. What’s certain, though, is that without more transparency, it risks becoming an insider’s game—where only a small, connected group truly benefits.
When collectors stay hidden, it’s not just artists who lose—it’s the whole market. New artists struggle to find buyers or even understand what kind of work sells. Pricing becomes unpredictable, based more on connections than real demand, making it hard to know what’s fair. Even collectors miss out—if they love a particular style but remain private, the artists creating that work may never know to reach them.
And let’s be real—secrecy creates room for exploitation. Stories circulate of artists unknowingly selling works far below market value because they didn’t realize how much demand there was. Others watch their art change hands at auctions for exponentially higher prices while they see none of that upside.
Some global markets are already shifting. Internationally, platforms like Artsy and Sotheby’s are bringing digital transparency to art sales, listing collectors and price histories. At Creath, this is already built into how we operate. Every piece of art sold on our marketplace has a verifiable chain of ownership, meaning artists can track where their work goes, and collectors know exactly what they’re buying.
Nigeria’s art industry doesn’t need to expose every buyer, but maybe it’s time to rethink how much secrecy is necessary. What if we had clearer data on how many artworks are actually being sold? What if artists and curators could track demand and collector interest without breaching privacy? What if the market was built on trust instead of gatekeeping?
Because at the end of the day, an industry that thrives in the shadows will always remain smaller than it should be.
So, here’s the real question: Is protecting collector privacy holding the Nigerian art scene back? What do you think?
A talented artist spends hours in their studio, creating work that could stand alongside the greats. But outside those walls, no one knows they exist.
Meanwhile, another artist—maybe less experienced, still figuring things out—posts regularly on Instagram, connects with collectors on X, and lands a feature on an influencer’s page. Within days, their pieces are sold out.
This isn’t just a theory. It’s how the art world works today.
Not long ago, an artist’s rise depended on gallery representation, collector interest, and curatorial validation. But social media has rewritten the rules. Now, an artist can build a career without ever stepping foot in a gallery—if they understand how to work the algorithm.
In our focus group with Nigerian curators, the sentiment was clear: social media is no longer optional. Many curators admitted they discover artists online before they ever meet them in person. Some even admitted that a strong social presence makes an artist more appealing for exhibitions.
But here’s where it gets tricky.
Not every artist is built for social media. Some just want to focus on their work instead of worrying about algorithms and engagement. Others don’t have the time, resources, or marketing skills to stand out online.
And let’s be honest—social media rewards trends, not always depth**.** An artist creating intricate, thought-provoking work might go unnoticed, while someone making quick, viral-friendly pieces gets all the attention.
Even pricing is affected. One curator pointed out that artists with large followings can command higher prices, regardless of their technical skills. Meanwhile, incredibly talented artists with little online presence struggle to sell.
So, does that mean social media is deciding who succeeds? And if so, is that good for our industry?
There’s no denying that social media has opened doors for artists who once had no way to reach galleries or collectors. With Instagram, X, and even TikTok, Nigerian artists can reach a global audience on their own terms, without relying on traditional gatekeepers.
But is visibility the same as value?
If curators, collectors, and galleries rely too heavily on social media to determine who is "important," does that mean art is now a popularity contest? Are we prioritizing engagement over excellence?
Or is this simply the new reality—where being a successful artist requires just as much skill in branding as in brushstrokes?
Social media has changed the game, but should it be the game?
If an artist isn’t big online, does that make their work any less important? Should curators and collectors look beyond the algorithm?
What do you think?
