NFTs will assist brewers and farmers in preserving the UNESCO Belgian beer legacy.
As part of the collaboration, Zeromint will mint and sell special NFTs on the GoChain blockchain, which will be made available to international beer aficionados through BBA.
Belgian Barrels Alliance (BBA) brewers and farmers have teamed up with Zeromint to produce nonfungible tokens (NFTs) aimed at protecting the UNESCO-recognized Belgian beer culture and legacy.
As part of the collaboration, Zeromint will mint and sell special NFTs on the GoChain blockchain, which will be made available to international beer aficionados through BBA. For the following 14 days, the organization will execute multiple BBA NFT collecting programs centered on sustainability and the preservation of Belgian beer history.
The first Belgian Barrels NFT auction, according to the official release, would be used to find 11 actors for a BBA-produced film named Belgian Barrels:
The goal of the film project is to further immortalize Belgian Beer history through a professional cinematic film production, which BBA intends to promote and distribute internationally.
Furthermore, the NFT winners will be added to a whitelist with VIP access to all BBA events as well as access to vintage beer menus and special bottles at BBA clubs. Eighty percent (80%) of the cash produced by the NFT auction will be donated to a local charity in Belgium, according to the release. Co-founder of the Belgian Barrels Alliance, Tom De Block, added:
Belgian beer is more than simply beer. It’s a deep and complicated narrative of historical families and real individuals who became legends. It is a pleasure merely to open some of their bottles and convey their stories.
In addition, the Alliance intends to develop NFTs projects to support tree plantings and learn specific artisan skills and traditions, as well as to build engagement and reward possibilities for beer consumers and aficionados.
Vodafone, the British telecommunications firm, revealed intentions to develop an NFT of the world’s first Short Message Service (SMS) and sell the profits to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (the UN Refugee Agency).
The SMS, which reads “Merry Christmas,” was sent 29 years ago on December 3, 1992, across the Vodafone network to Richard Jarvis, an employee at the time.
According to reports, the historic 15-character-long SMS will be auctioned off in a one-time sale by the Aguttes Auction House in France.
