Celebrating the best in NFT with Jason Derulo: Moments from award ceremony
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) introduced a blockchain-based way for artists to create, distribute and monetize their work. Blending technology with artistry, NFTs allow for authentic ownership of digital assets in a manner previously unattainable. As the ecosystem matures, celebrating the most distinguished helps artist showcase their art and foster a sense of community among them, collectors and enthusiasts.
Dubbed the “Oscars of NFTs,” the ftNFT Awards 2024 captured this spirit of community and recognition. Held on Nov. 14 at Malta’s historic Fort Manoel, the event brought over a thousand NFT enthusiasts, digital artists and business leaders together to award the best in the space.

A digital renaissance
