Crypto-artists have been profiting from their NFT (non-fungible token) artworks since 2014, following Kevin McCoy’s first minted NFT ‘Quantum’ artwork, which sold for 1.4 million US dollars at a Sotheby auction. While the history of NFTs is captivating, endless opportunities are in the pipeline, especially for digital artists, and this has been especially so for African artists who now have an added platform where to sell their content to a global audience.
