Next400, a community-driven effort to shape the next 400 years for the black community globally, has launched its groundbreaking Non-fungible tokens (NFT) project “Legacy Warriors” on the Sutudu online digital platform.
The new project will serve as a powerful and innovative way to commemorate the
400th anniversary of when black people were first sold as a commodity and as a
reminder of the past, and a vision for the future of the black community
features a collection of digital artworks that depict powerful and inspiring
figures from the black community.
Non-fungible tokens are pieces of digital content linked to the blockchain, the
digital database underpinning cryptocurrency such as bitcoin and ethereum.
Speaking at the project launch, the Chief Executive Officer of the Next400,
Kweku Aburam, said Next400’s mission is to drive forward what the black
community will be looking for in the next 400 years the NFT project is a powerful
tool to achieve that.
“We are excited to see the impact this project will have and the potential it
has to create wealth and opportunities for the black community in Ghana and the
world around,” he stated.
“Each artwork is a one-of-a-kind NFT, allowing collectors to own a piece of
history and to support the Next400's mission. The project has been launched on
the Sutudu.com platform and has unique features such as the ability to split
initial sales and royalties at the point of sale and to create royalty options
for first-time buyers as an incentive for being an early adopter,” he stated.
The US-based Ghanaian entrepreneur believes Ghana has the potential not only to
be a leader in the adoption and use of this technology but also a place that
sparks innovations with this technology.
According to him, the NFT project will be soon introduced to Ghanaians this
year to educate, inspire, and involve them in the Next400 mission.
Commenting on the NFT project during the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of
the Sutudu digital platform, Khoa Le, remarked that “Sutudu is committed to
empowering creators and projects that have the potential to change and
positively impact society. The Next400 Legacy Warriors project is a perfect
example of this, and we are honored to be a part of it."
“The platform not only facilitates the buying and selling of NFTs but also
provides resources and support for projects that aim at positively impacting
society. Sutuducalls this “NFT 2.0” – NFTs with human purpose and true investment
capabilities. Next400 serves as a utility that will have a token gating feature
to gain access to high-profile people and investors through the
Sutuduplatform,” Mr. Le added.
The Next400 NFT launch was attended by artists, entrepreneurs, activists, and
community leaders, who came together to support Next400’s mission and vision
