On June 16, the first three works of the Urban Files project, the only NFT collection in the world dedicated to street art, appeared at the Rarible site.
The first three trading cards of the Early Mints set are those of Misha Most, Dmitry Aske and Andrei Berger, united by the idea of the future, where the line between the material world and Web 3.0 is blurred and a person adapts to a new
Early Mints drop design refers to polaroid images, and digital plastic cases in which they are placed refer to collecting rare baseball cards. The peculiarity of the first set is that each card is pollen in a blockchain with a circulation of 250 edishenes, each edition costs 0.02 ETH (approximately $50). This is the most democratic way to start collecting street art. In addition, in the future, the Urban Files collection will release Rare cards - 50 edishenes and Legendary - only 10. It is planned to produce thematic collections dedicated to various areas of street art: murals, graffiti, collaborations of artists.
In the future, collectors of NFT works of the Urban Files project will receive bonuses in the real world - limited stickers from street artists, "material" works or invitations to special events and exhibitions. 10% of each sale will go and the formation of a street art support fund.
The name of the Urban Files project is a reference to the largest graffiti culture site Steertfiles in the 2000s and early 2010s. The launch of the site was a response to tough policies by the U.S. and some European countries regarding writers - they could be fired from their jobs, punished with serious fines or imprisonment for engaging in graffiti. The work destroyed utilities, so the warrighters anonymously posted photos on Steertfiles, giving them a second life in the Internet space. Due to lack of funding, the site was frozen in 2013 and its entire archive is not available now.
Urban Files is not just the first attempt to archive world street art in NFT format, but immortality, possible thanks to blockchien technologies.
