What is DAFNE+ about?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have rapidly gained importance within the creative sectors. These unique digital assets are irreplaceable and distinct, bought and exchanged via blockchain technology, granting buyers access to exclusive content. A notable advantage of NFTs is their ability to unite creators and consumers within a decentralized cultural and artistic community.

The DAFNE+ project, supported by the European Union, aims to establish innovative distributed autonomous organizations and communities centered around NFTs and digital tokens, all governed in a decentralized manner.

This endeavor is expected to drive innovation and enhance competitiveness within cultural and creative industries. It will achieve this by leveraging the technology to develop fresh revenue models and business strategies, thereby enabling these industries to expand their influence and access new distribution channels, free from the constraints imposed by intermediaries.

DAFNE+ explains the project in Barcelona

The Cultural and creative industries event in Barcelona has been an excellent opportunity for DAFNE+ to explain the project to a broad and specialised audience. Also to express the idea that new technologies like Web3 and blockchain can help cultural heritage dissemination and development.

The main purpose of DAFNE+ is to help digital content creators and creatives find new forms of creation, distribution, and monetization of their works of art through blockchain technology.

Iago Fernández-Cedrón, DAFNE+'s project manager received a warm welcome and exchanged some positive and very valuable inputs within the attendants.

A very innovative but consistent path for the creative industry to explore news ways to develop but also to reach to their specific audience and the society in the whole. Hope to have had a strong impact in the creative space, the team will continue to challenge the future of art experimentation.

Dafne+ in NEM Summit 2023

Last week Zagreb was the city chosen to host the NEM Summit 2023, an international conference which is being held since 2008.
This annual event is organised and promoted by the NEM Initiative (New European Media – European Technology Platform) for all those interested in the wide area of media and content creation. 
During this years edition, celebrated on the 24th and 25th of May, the Research & Innovation team of our partner Engineering had the opportunity to explain and describe the use of NFTs from a Metaverse perspective with reference to the activities of DAFNE+ project. 
Vincenzo Croce was the one in charge of giving the speech titled Blockchain and NFTs for Web3.0 and Metaverse during the session "Metaverse: beyond the hype, use cases and key technologies", where the most relevant aspects of this pioneering technology were discussed in depth. 
The 14th Edition of NEM Summit was called “Towards the Future Media-verse in Europe”, with the aim to discover the latest technology and market trends, identify research and business opportunities, and find partners for upcoming EU-funded calls for projects.

DAFNE+ celebrates its 2nd General Meeting in Athens

Athens was the location chosen for the celebration of the second General Meeting of the Dafne+ project. A very suitable place if we bare in mind that Greece is the cradle of Greek mythology and Daphne is one of its characters, a female nymph that turned into a laurel tree in order to scape from Apollo.

State of the art technology applied to the creative industry

Names and mythology apart, the partners of this European project got together to exchange impressions and insights of where the future is bringing the creative industry and how Dafne+ can respond to the most common concerns of the creative sector nowadays.

During the two days of workshops and meetings the group reached a consensus on what are the chances for the new creative generations to produce artistic pieces and be able to sustain their activity as prosperous and productive as they need using new technologies such as Web3 and the blockchain.

Within this new space, issues like the use of licences and how to defend their intellectual property, how to construct their economic independence within the new ways of organising communities were put on the table.

Still a long way to go, but the project seems well founded and with a good and strong starting point.
