on WISe.ART
ZUG, Switzerland - October 21, 2022: WISeKey
International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey “) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a
leading global cybersecurity, Blockchain and IoT platform company,
today announced that in cooperation with the Chinese Museum of
Finance, WISe.ART will mint the world’s first Jiaozi NFT.
A limited edition of Jiaozi NFTs are available
now exclusively on the WISe.ART secured NFT marketplace. To enable
as many collectors as possible to acquire this piece of history,
the owners of the Jiaozi decided to keep the price of the NFTs as
low as USD 100.00 despite the notable significance of the physical
item. The funds raised will be used by the Chinese Museum of
Finance for the enhancement of national cultural heritage and the
development of public exhibitions and further collections of NFTs
for the preservation of the arts.
WISe.ART and the Chinese Museum of Finance
extended their cooperation by creating the “MetaFi Museum,” which
is both a digital and physical museum.
As the first project of this cooperation,
WISe.ART is showcasing the Jiaozi NFT, the digital twin of the
world’s first government-issued paper currency, featuring elements
of modern paper money for circulation management and reserve
payment.
The world’s first government-issued paper
currency was issued on January 12, 1024, in Chengdu, Sichuan, China
by the Jiaozi Affairs, the earliest central bank, which operated
for more than 400 years. It would be almost 200 years later that
Marco Polo introduced the concept of paper currency to Europe, and
250 years more before Sweden issued modern paper currency in 1661.
Besides the NFT of this Jiaozi, the Chinese Finance Museum is also
preparing a second #NFT, the Gong Silver Dollar, minted by the Red
Army in 1928. This silver coin is the predecessor of the Chinese
People's coin and is a collector’s item. China’s creation of paper
currency drew upon two of their other well-known inventions:
papermaking and printing. Today, paper currency is a core
instrument of the global and national financial systems while
cryptocurrencies and NFT are innovative developments in the history
of banknotes. Currently there are over 1,000 cryptocurrencies in
circulation with new ones frequently appearing. The Chinese Museum
of Finance has been promoting the spread of cross-border
communication in China, and the global financial industry, setting
up Jiaozi exhibition halls and monuments in Chengdu, holding Jiaozi
forums, and promoting applications for non-material cultural
heritage. https://platform.wise.art/product/first-jiaozi-nft/

WISe.ART is working on
cross-blockchain support, enabling a truly open data economy with
the support of Ethereum, Polygon and CasperLabs and gradually add
new chains to ensure interoperability and scalability as part of
WISeKey’s overall strategy to act as a leading platform of the
Web3.0 revolution. It provides both a secure marketplace and
platform where NFT buyers and sellers can easily connect their
crypto wallets to instantly purchase or list their NFTs for sale.
The NFT design of the WISe.Art platform ensures that
besides an authenticated and signed version of the actual digital
asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in
addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts
describing future use and monetization streams, if relevant.
