TANOTIWEAVERSE : Bringing artisanal crafts to blockchain
Tanoti is a socially responsible enterprise that is committed to preserving traditional handicrafts and ensuring the sustainability of the livelihoods of its artisans. The team at Tanoti recognizes the importance of keeping traditional crafts relevant and exciting in a rapidly changing world, and is constantly exploring new and innovative ways to promote these crafts to a global audience.
One of the ways that Tanoti is doing this is through its NFT project. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a type of digital asset that are stored on a blockchain and can be bought, sold, and traded like any other asset. Tanoti’s NFT project is designed as a global outreach exercise to educate the world about the ancestral crafts of Sarawak, and to showcase the unique beauty and cultural significance of these crafts to a global audience.
Through its NFT project, Tanoti is able to reach a wider audience than ever before, and to promote the value of traditional crafts in a digital age. By creating NFTs that showcase the work of its artisans and the beauty of their creations, Tanoti is able to connect with a global community of collectors and enthusiasts who are interested in supporting traditional crafts and promoting sustainability.
At the same time, Tanoti’s NFT project also serves as a means of preserving the cultural heritage of Sarawak’s traditional crafts for future generations. By creating digital records of these crafts, Tanoti is able to ensure that they are documented and preserved for future generations, even as the world around them continues to change.
Overall, Tanoti’s NFT project is a unique and innovative way of promoting traditional handicrafts and ensuring the sustainability of the livelihoods of its artisans. By embracing new technologies and platforms, Tanoti is able to reach a global audience and to showcase the unique beauty and cultural significance of these ancestral crafts to the world.
The first series of Tanoti’s NFT project is its Songket NFTs which are digital representations of this traditional textile, created using high-resolution images of actual Songket fabrics. Each NFT is a unique digital asset that is stored on a blockchain, and can be bought, sold, and traded like any other asset.
By purchasing a Songket N FT from Tanoti, collectors and enthusiasts are able to support the handweavers who create these beautiful fabrics, and to promote the value of traditional crafts in a digital age. The proceeds from the sale of these NFTs go directly to the weavers who created the original Songket fabrics, helping to ensure the sustainability of their livelihoods and the continued practice of this traditional craft.
