"Hello, I am Summer, an art ambassador of DeNations (www.denations.com), a blockchain-powered decentralized metaverse, where anyone can build and run nations, cities and civilizations. In DeNations, ownership of core assets are represented by Ethereum NFT (Non Fungible Token). People can register their NFTs at DeNations (http://play.denations.com) and start to run their nations and earn token (DENA) profits. The value and liquidity of the NFT and token is supported by DeNations’ DeFi platform (http://finance.denations.com/). These NFTs are currently trading on OpenSea (the world's leading NFT exchange).
DeNations is introducing “DeNations Art Chain”, a decentralized ecosystem where various talented artists can easily and sustainably produce valuable NFT arts.
DeNations Art Chain includes major virtues of blockchain, such as decentralization, infinite connection, and scalability. Art series which share the same theme are issued as DeNations Art NFTs and grouped into one Art Block, only when the DeNations Art Committee reaches a consensus. The value of these DeNations Art NFTs are supported by DeNations' Token Economy (DeFi, Game), and this support is strengthened with time and public love/attention."

For Crypto projects, it can be a very good way to do marketing. For community members, it can be the way of showing their love to others and bond with each other. Also, artists can expand their own community and learn about crypto culture.
