JAKARTA - Cases of the use of non-exchangeable tokens (NFT) have evolved from Punk and South-pixeled apes into real-world applications such as real estate contracts and music royalties. Other use cases emerged to the surface as the Monuverse used NFT to preserve cultural heritage around the world.
Through a combination of blockchain technology, 3D imaging, generative art, and local collaboration, Monuverse uses NFT to carry important global monuments into digital realities where they will be preserved indefinitely.
Monuverse's first NFT project highlights the Arco della Pace, or Arc of Peace, in Milan, Italy.
The early digital rendering of the monument will not be available for individual ownership under the legal chass of intellectual property and authorization of the Italian Ministry of Culture: Archaeology, Arts of Rupa and Lansekap, from the Milan Authority.
However, the next drop from 7,777 random NFTs gives individuals part of a virtual monument and access to related events. The NFT also opens up new ways in which owners can protect cultural heritage.

Cointelegraph spoke with Andrea Salone, co-founder of the Monuverse, to understand how NFT can help further preserve this cultural heritage and enhance virtual tourism efforts.
NFT is expected to be the main aid in delivering the next billion users to the crypto space. This will primarily happen if they are connected to cultural heritage elements that are already known and valued, creating a sense of intimacy.
Salone said when the NFT monument was created, it would help create a "real bridge between reality" and contribute to the virtual ecosystem.
Being one of the virtual owners of a historic monument that actually has to come with two feelings: you don't just have cool work, but you actively help maintain your legacy in an innovative and fun way, Salone told Cointelegraph.
The virtual preservation of the monument means that they will be frozen in the time as it is today. If a global conflict or natural erosion occurs in the real world, virtual reality will have an untouched version for future generations to enjoy.
"Having an NFT Monuverse is not only an honor but also a responsibility," said Salone.
An important aspect of this project is that part of the revenue from the decline in NFT provides permanent funds to local institutions where these monuments are located.
[Funding] will accelerate the maintenance and restoration of monuments around the world, many of which are truly risky, added Salone.
Salone said this must be something the project was planning to "come on for the better."
In addition to cultural heritage, NFT can create new possibilities for the virtual tourism world on Web3. While virtual reality and augmented reality are important in creating a digital experience, Marec believes that they cannot do it alone.
Web3 will be very important in this field because it will bring people's experiences to a whole new level. I believe the keyword here is ownership," said Salone.
According to one of the founders of Monuverse, virtual tourism can take a new level of connection somewhere because visitors who have related NFTs can develop a real sense of ownership and ownership that has never existed before.
As evidenced, the metaverse events on historical sites are an innovative way to connect the past to the future.
It is interesting to wait, when monumental sites and cultural heritage in Indonesia such as Borobudur Temple or other temples also enter the world of NFT and digital assets can be purchased and owned by seseroang or private.
