Green asset platform promotes NFT in partnership with Brazilian soccer star  

The Greener platform recently announced a new NFT partnership with Ronaldinho Gaúcho. The main objective of this union is to raise awareness about the environment, meaning that all the tokens sold will offset carbon emissions. 

Interested parties can already invest in the token, especially companies that reinforce renewable practices. All token transactions are made through the official Greener platform, which already runs on Polygon. 

It's worth noting that the Brazilian soccer star will be the platform's official representative at the World Cup matches in Qatar. In addition, Ronaldinho Gaúcho will be responsible for delivering a Greener NFT to the emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. 

Greener's executives believe that this initiative is an important step towards preserving the Amazon rainforest. By inviting Ronaldinho Gaúcho on this mission, the platform is bringing soccer closer to sustainability. 

In other words, in addition to Brazil being the country of soccer, we will be showing the world that preserving the environment is fundamental. The company believes that GPT will conserve more than 30 million cubic meters of standing timber, as well as adding 74 million tons of green carbon. 

About Greener

Since 2007, Greener has been supporting investors and entrepreneurs in the market. The company's main objective is to find the best ways and strategies to boost results.

Among the company's main projects, the most recent is the creation of a token to help raise awareness of the environment. This is the NFT, a green asset created in partnership with Ronaldinho Gaúcho. 

What is NFT

NFT stands for "non-fungible token". To understand this technology, the first step is to understand the terms "token" and "fungible". 

A token, in the cryptocurrency world, is the digital representation of an asset, be it money or a work of art. These assets are registered by the blockchain, a technology that was born alongside Bitcoin in 2008. 

When a person has a property token, it means that they have the right to the property, or a part of it. On the other hand, fungible is the term used to refer to something that can be replaced by another of the same kind, preserving quality and quantity. 

If a R $100.00 note is fungible, for example, you can exchange it for two R $50.00 notes. In short, the NFT is a representation of an exclusive item on the market, whether digital or physical. 

Where to invest in NFT

Although most people have doubts, the process of buying NFTs is simpler than it seems. The first step is to register with a responsible broker, have the funds to acquire cryptocurrencies and purchase the desired NFT. 

It's worth noting that each marketplace has its own characteristics. In addition, they usually accept different digital assets. Finally, there are some platforms that specialize in selling these tokens, such as: OpenSea, Rarible, SuperRare, among others. 

How the NFT came about

The NFT emerged in 2014, when artist Kevin McCoy sold a work known as "Quantum" with a code encrypted using blockchain technology. This system is used as a way of tracking transactions that take place over the internet. 

However, it wasn't until 2017 that the term gained traction among people, referring to unique assets that are transmitted via the blockchain. But the big breakthrough for NFTs came in 2019, when it became a major trend among users.

Today it is possible to buy these assets from the main trading brokers, as is the case with Greener. In short, as with any investment, investors are subject to risks when investing in this model. 

How to create NFT

Just like the purchase process, creating an NFT is simpler than it sounds. If you choose OpenSea as your platform, for example, simply log in to your account, connect to your cryptocurrency wallet and create your project. 

Users can create any project in the account, such as music, images, videos or 3D models. In this case, OpenSea allows files with a maximum size of 100 MB. When uploading your project, include a name and description.

Difference between cryptocurrency and NFT

Cryptocurrencies are fungible assets. In other words, when you send Bitcoin to a user, the person can return a unit of the cryptocurrency and you will still have the same value. In this sense, cryptos are divisible, meaning that it is possible to send fractions of Bitcoins to users. 

On the other hand, the NFT is a single, indivisible asset. This means that users cannot exchange their tokens for the same one, because there is only one real one. What's more, it's not possible to send half of it to someone else. 

What are the advantages of NFT?

Now that you know more about NFTs, you're probably wondering about the advantages of the asset. Believe it or not, there are quite a few. Check them out below:

• Appreciation: One of the main benefits of NFTs is their appreciation over time. In other words, just like works of art, these tokens can follow the same path. A great example is CryptoPunk #7804, which has increased in price by 50.000% in the last three years; 

• Scarcity: Another characteristic of NFTs is that, like works of art by famous artists, these assets are scarce. Even if people try to replicate the original model, only the owner has possession of it. But it's important to note that this isn't true of all models; 

• Ease: Last but not least, a non-fungible token can be transferred anywhere in the world in minutes. In other words, just like cryptocurrencies, transactions are easy. If the art were physical, for example, the procedure would be somewhat complicated.
