NFT Printer

Inspiration

The current perspective on NFTs disregards its artistic value. While the larceny of physical art (e.g., painting, sculptures, etc.) is labelled as criminal activity, the digital theft of NFTs via methods such as screenshotting remains the victim of widespread disregard and ridicule.

From this, we were inspired to design a means through which NFTs would be similarly protected. By printing NFTs, we allow NFT owners to safeguard their digital possessions in the same way conventional art collectors secure theirs.

What it does

The NFT printer enables users to securely print out their NFTs and keep them as hard copies, preventing other people from stealing their art by screenshotting or right clicking to save the art.

How we built it

Created a basic version running on Python and Flask that supports NFTs from OpenSea
Can run on a Raspberry Pi

Challenges we ran into

A significant hurdle was the actual implementation of our idea, due to a lack of physical hardware to experiment with, our project is only based on a simulation. This resulted in a lot of doubt surrounding the feasibility of our project.

Due to the limited time frame, we were indecisive about the nature of our project. Hence, we spent a lot of time on another idea that did not make it into our final submission.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud to have given users something that money can't buy - peace of mind. Our product ensures that NFT owners can securely store and display their prized possessions without having to worry about people stealing it and passing it off as their own.

What we learned

We learned about the scale of the NFT world and its true future potential as more people subscribe to its potential and trendiness. This allowed us to reflect on the true madness of the NFT world.
