Have you ever wondered when the first SMS was sent? If your answer to this question is “yes”, let’s satisfy your curiosity right away. The first SMS was sent years ago, when the calendars showed December 3, 1992. The text message was sent as “Merry Christmas”. Now it has been decided to put the NFT of the world’s first text message up for auction.
THE WORLD’S FIRST SMS WILL BE SOLD AS NFT
The NFT of the first SMS sent in the world will be sold with an auction organized by the Aguttes Auction House in France. Being able to pay with Ethereum, a cryptocurrency, the buyer will receive a detailed and unique copy of the original communication protocol, which transmits the world’s first SMS.
NFT’S REVENUE WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO UNHCR
The auction will take place on December 21, 2021. Vodafone will donate the proceeds from the sale to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
WHAT IS NFT?
NFT (Non-Fungible-Token) cannot be exchanged or traded. In this respect, they have the value of being unique. For example, when an artist or person converts a work of his own to NFT, these NFTs cannot be changed. NFTs have a private digital signature, which is copyrighted. On the other hand, with the sale made from the NFT in question, the royalty fee is paid in crypto to the owner of the NFT each time.
NFT stands for non-tradable tokens. It means transforming works of art into digital and selling them digitally. Its most important feature is that it is unique. NFTs use blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum also use blockchain technology.
