Despite the issues surrounding the security of collections in e-wallets and the origin of NFTs on platforms (starting with OpenSea), a growing number of Contemporary artists are seeing a tremendous opportunity in NFT technology to bring to life whole chapters of their work which could not be traded before, and to invent new creations in the Metaverse.
