Yes! We will only work with artists who agree to a collaboration with the Metawalls project, this is a vital component of what we're doing here. Our first aim is to build a collective, and provide a support base for the artists living and working in Berlin.

The artistic fundamentals behind NFTs make them valuable. Signatures and public certifications from the artist as well as digital scarcity of the token provide its value. The artists are able to autonomously create and secure their digital identity and creations and make transactions with full transparency. 
Metawalls adds additional value to the NFTs themselves to keep the ecosystem functioning and growing, be it the Profit-Share Program and many future perks for the holders.

Crown Collection represents an evolving curated network of Street Art masterpieces, from urban art capitals worldwide. This journey is based on collaboration with artists and our community members. NFTs of the works from Crown Collection (aka Crown CO-NFTs) are the key to unlocking the Profit-Share Program and receiving micro shares in the company. Facilitated through the CO-NFT technology we are able to immortalize historical street art masterpieces into Web3 and make them accessible to large communities of fans and art lovers locally and globally.

The Genesis Masterpiece of the Crown Collection is an iconic mural by Jim Avignon from the Berlin Wall Memorial

NFT gives you an additional possibility to offer the digital work or a digital twin of your artwork to the audience as a Non Fungible Token. This allows artists to overlook any transactions related to the token, participate on the revenue streams (primary and secondary) as well as have a unique and non-destroyable proof of the origin of the artwork and IP rights as well as the artist identity (displayed via wallet address).  NFT is a great medium to connect with new audiences and fans, to allow them participate on your artistic process and journey, to involve community into supporting you.

CO-NFT is an NFT format which is inspired by the ethics of the Street Art culture, where the art is accessible for many and not owned exclusively.

CO-NFT (Collective-Ownership NFT) is a customised technology created by Metawalls to generate shared (art) assets and connect artists and creators with large audiences of fans and collectors. By breaking up a larger mural into smaller units, artists can offer their fans a chance to collectively own a larger artwork, and get special benefits for owning the CO-NFTs.

CO-NFTs are better suited for larger pieces that allow visual division into individual fragments. If the artwork can not / should not be visually divided, it can be minted as a single NFT.

Yes! You are only tied to Metawalls with the artwork you decide to submit and have turned into NFT on our platform. You are absolutely free to collaborate on different projects with different platforms and find out what works best for you and your work.

I. We developed two customised Smart Contracts to create NFTs:

a) ERC 721 for the CO-NFT
b) ERC 1155 for editions and 1 to 1 NFTs.
Both a) run on polygon, b) include unique and street art-related properties in their meta data, which are displayed in the c) special certificate design:
*QR code for the physical location
*Artists Quote
*Signature of tag
*other properties we should check on the webpage
*unlockable content can be included in both

II. We built a Website to represent our artists and their works, including the stories around the artworks, urban context.

III. We developed tools like royalty splitter that helps automatize the transparency and  distribution of royalties for your sold artworks

IV. We built a gallery in the metaverse "The Embassy", dedicated to display the street art culture, check this out.

V. We developed a unique system of strong utilities that we offer to the collectors of your work without you doing it - we believe that the art is the strongest utility! Our role as a designer of the ecosystem is to create a long term and sustainable system to keep the ecosystem functioning and growing. For this we developed a Profit Share Program

Yes! As long as there is a digital file that represents the artwork. If it's an exact documentation of the piece or its digitally altered version is only your creative choice. One of the purposes of Metawalls is to document and eternalize the urban artworks in the metaverse. Every NFT from a mural is marked with the geographical coordinates of the wall, creating an online history of the artistic creation in that exact spot.

To be able to represent and connect artists from all around the world, we are open to submissions. At the moment, we are only able to accept a limited number of artists, the works therefore undergo a curation process by the Metawalls team and the members of the community. However, the aim is to create an open platform for everyone, so even if you are not selected at the moment, please stay in touch for more information about the marketplace!

In the time before we officially launch all the functionalities, please apply through email at welcome@metawalls.io stating details about yourself and your practice (feel free to use your pseudonym) including relevant links and details about the artwork you'd like to apply with. We kindly ask you for patience, as the decision process can take several weeks. Do not resend the application with the same artwork, however please feel free to add another artwork over time in case you find it a better fit.

Together with you, we finalise the conditions of the sale and prepare all the details for the drop, including your artist profile on the Metawalls website and supporting content. The sales price of the NFT depends on your own decision, if needed, our team can advise about the pricing of the work. Artists can also run an auction for the work (or series of works).

Metawalls facilitates a range of content formats to promote the sale of the NFTs, online and offline. A successful sale is also dependent on promotion within your existing fan base and active participation in reaching new audiences within the Metawalls community. Promoting your work personally can help find the right collector and rally the community around the work. We are here to support you and are open to co-create new formats suited to your practice.

Upon sale of the NFT, the transaction is written on blockchain and traceable back for the future. As with a sale of a physical work, the buyer now owns the NFT; the copyright of the artwork is retained by the artist.

Upon sale, you receive 60% of the primary sales and are also involved in every resale (secondary sales) of the NFT. To this end, Metawalls has developed software that can track every future sale. The artist receives in each transaction 5% of the secondary sales price.

Metawalls currently works with OpenSea, where the amounts are pre-set. In the future, they will be redefined and our own marketplace will offer more flexibility

Absolutely! To start right away and see the Metawalls community from the inside, create a user account, follow us on social media and join our Discord. There you can also reach out to us to ask any additional questions, give us your feedback or just chat.

While any work can become a CO-NFT, only Crown CO-NFTs, are the key to receiving micro shares in the company.

Make sure that you are connected with the same wallet/account you have purchased the share/s on OpenSea with. Click “connect wallet” in the website header menu and sign in. Refresh webpage.
