The hope behind the project is to educate the general public on the world of Web3 and what it has to offer. Many people are still confused about the likes of NFTs and what they entail. By inviting people in, the goal is for people to make connections and gain interest in the Web3 ecosystem.
John Karp commented on the new space saying, “Web3 is the next industrial revolution and it’s a game-changer. Tomorrow we will have new worldwide leaders. NFT Factory will become a launchpad for these new projects”.
In 2023, the NFT Factory will be looking to launch its own Web3 digital space which acts as a minting platform and NFT marketplace. The first ‘discovery workshop’ that visitors attend at the NFT Factory will be free, with those after being priced at $59. There is a deeper level of training courses too which will be available to individuals and companies, this is priced at $299. In addition to this, public events are set to take place each Thursday.
Karp comments, “I believe that art is an easy way to introduce something more complex. It’s universal and talks to everybody”.
