WISeKey Launches
WISe.ART NFT Platform, a New Era of NFTs
and Cybersecurity
ZUG, Switzerland, September 1, 2021 – WISeKey
International Holding (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY) (“WISeKey”, or “the
Company”), a leading cybersecurity, AI and IoT company, announced
that its partner CasperLabs, a leading blockchain services company
and developer of the Casper Network, recently partnered with Amazon
Web Services (AWS), a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost,
cloud-based infrastructure platform that powers hundreds of
thousands of businesses. The collaboration gives developers and
organizations building on the Casper Network the ability to
directly deploy node infrastructures and design private networks
for product testing from AWS.
WISeKey is using Casper to power WISe.Art, its
unique digital identification NFT platform for the collectible and
luxury market. The new platform commercially launched on September
1, 2021.
CasperLabs joining AWS will further enhance the
WISE.Art platform, which will run on the Casper Network to deliver
the most secure and scalable blockchain back-end for creating
digital twins for valuable objects. This unique approach will make
it possible to mint provenance and a digital version into an NFT
containing smart contracts on how the digital twin may be used. The
method removes any uncertainty of what an NFT actually means to a
collector by delivering authenticated digital twins.
“Casper’s entry into the AWS Marketplace is a
big milestone and makes it even easier for developers worldwide to
access and build on Web3,” said Carlos Moreira, Founder & CEO
of WISeKey. “It will significantly reduce friction in setting up
infrastructure for the Casper Network for individual developers, as
well as organizations like WISeKey.”
The Casper Network is the first
enterprise-grade, proof-of-stake blockchain that simultaneously
offers scalability, security and decentralization. A growing number
of enterprises have joined the Casper ecosystem since its main net
launch in March 2021, citing its more efficient gas costs, flexible
architecture and significantly reduced energy footprint as major
differentiators over other blockchain protocols.
“CasperLabs is committed to ensuring successful
outcomes for organizations looking to build innovative applications
on the Casper Network,” said Mrinal Manohar, CasperLabs cofounder
and CEO. “Our partnership with WISeKey will set a new standard for
responsible and secure NFT transactions, with both teams dedicated
to delivering a more environmentally friendly and scalable option
for the NFT community as the industry continues to evolve and
excite new audiences worldwide.”
Casper Network’s Proof-of-Stake architecture
allows for a higher volume of secure transactions with no drop off
in performance, while producing a fraction of the energy expended
by traditional blockchain protocols.
Since AWS services approximately 190 countries,
Casper Network node operators worldwide will have the capability to
quickly and securely deploy and connect nodes to the public
network. Developers building smart contracts or other solutions can
spin up Casper nodes for rapid development, prototyping and testing
of their products. Moreover, enterprise teams and consortiums now
have the ability to quickly architect and deploy private networks
for solving their business problems, with the additional benefit of
access to AWS developer support tools and an extensive ecosystem of
partners.
