NFT School: Create a Freshly Minted NFT Token
In this workshop, you will go from zero to creating a freshly minted NFT token and storing it on IPFS and Filecoin using nft.storage all in a decentralized web app built using JavaScript, the ethers.js library, and React. We'll be minting NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain for this guide. However, the concepts described here can just as easily be applied to other blockchains. If you've never worked with Ethereum or another smart contract platform before, our first steps guide will walk you through a quick "hello world" example using an Ethereum testnet.

What Will the Internet Look like in 2050?
A global computer-based communication network has fundamentally changed our social, cultural, and political landscape over the past 30 years. There has been no previous communication revolution of this speed or intensity. Consequently, this communication tool gives us the power to completely restructure our entire existence, both on an individual and collective level. As inescapably pervasive as the Internet's emergence has been, Juan Benet will situate its emergence within the context of our technological evolution, and try to pontificate its potential future development in the 21st century.
11:30am - 12:30pm
How the Future of Music NFTs Will Empower Creators
This panel will help you uncover new, easy ways to engage with fans and collectors using NFT technology in an environmentally sustainable way. OneOf brings NFTs out of the crypto niche and into the mainstream, allowing all artists and fans to take part in this new wave of art production and consumption, not just crypto natives. The team is focused specifically on the music vertical, backed by the creative and music business expertise of Quincy Jones Productions and Quincy Jones himself, which is a key differentiator that sets it apart from other platforms. Using the Tezos blockchain allows for lower-cost transactions, which benefits artists’ and fans’ barriers to entry. These NFTs are also minted and stored in a green way that makes it easy for artists and fans to track purchases.
