New York vending machine sells NFT

Digital art collector platform Neon has installed a vending machine in New York City that sells non-fungible tokens NFT. The aim of the project is to make digital art as accessible as soda or candy bars. But there is a caveat: you never know in advance what will come across.

“These are crypto-curious people who have tried to buy cryptocurrencies or have expressed interest in acquiring NFTs, but have run into too many obstacles,” Neon CEO Kyle Zappitell described the target client of the vending machine.

The vending machine, located in a small store in the financial district of Lower Manhattan, looks no different from its counterparts, except that the sign “NFT ATM” hangs on the outside, and small paper stacks are laid out inside the machine containing QR printed on sheets of paper. -codes. The cost of the token here ranges from $5.99 to $420.69. By scanning the code, the buyer can see his purchase on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. This machine sells images of two types: either a color or a pattern of a dove.

Digital artworks are tokenized on the Solana blockchain, which features carbon-neutral transactions. And if NFTs are usually sold for cryptocurrency, the Neon vending machine accepts fiat (traditional) currency - you can make a purchase with a regular credit card. With an initial capital of $3 million, the company plans to install a whole network of such machines in shopping malls and other public places.
