This is not the first time people have been able to own something unique using NFT tokens and the benefits of blockchain technology. In particular, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet in March 2021. We are talking about a post from 21 March 2006, in which the entrepreneur talked about “setting up his own Twitter”.

The unique right to own the world’s first tweet went to the head of Malaysian blockchain service Bridge Oracle, Sina Estvi, and he gave the equivalent of $2.9 million in ETH for it. Read more about the story in a separate article.

The banner ad below translates as “Merry Christmas. The world’s first SMS sold by charity auction in the form of an NFT”. The sale will take place on Tuesday 21 December via an online auction where bidders can bid using Etherium. The highest bidder will own exclusive ownership of the communication protocol used to transmit the world’s first SMS. All of this will be digital, and anyone will be able to confirm their ownership, due to the transparency of the blockchain.

According to Cointelegraph, the SMS has an added value because other service providers did not open up the SMS option to their customers until nine years later. Therefore, selling the message as an NFT is sure to attract the attention of collectors who want to perpetuate the history of digital technology and communication.

Apart from the first SMS in history, the first page of the Wikipedia service will also remain in the form of NFT. Last week it went under the hammer at Christie’s auction house for $750,000. On top of that, one of the buyers at the auction bought a strawberry-colored iMac computer – the device behind Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales was busy developing his service.

Wikipedia’s NFT front page includes its original “Hello, World!” greeting from Wales. The platform itself was launched on January 15, 2001 and has since gained status as the largest online encyclopedia.

Among the big giants of commerce, Adidas also recently joined the world of NFT. On December 17, Adidas Originals held an NFT auction on its website, where unique tokens were sold at a starting price of 0.2 ETH. Another new player in the cryptosphere is Nike, which has acquired a virtual trainer and collectibles brand called RTFKT. It already has its first customers, boasting about their acquisitions on Twitter.

As you can see, more and more large companies are discovering the field of NFT as an opportunity to make extra money and connect with their customers. The new trend, which has gained tremendous popularity this year, has become great “bait” for corporations, which are now interested in other crypto projects as well. It is thanks to NFT that the digital asset industry is rapidly gaining points in mass adoption around the world.


We believe that this trend will continue to gain momentum. Still, the NFT industry has already steadily moved beyond its misconception as a useless technology for expensive pictures or a trivial means of money laundering. Today, the industry offers much more opportunities, and developers are happy to implement them.
