Technologies
OpenSea is the largest NFT Marketplace, a Web3 platform that allows creating, buying, selling, and auctioning NFTs using different Blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Flow, and Tezos. OpenSea employs various technologies for its website, including HTML5, Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, Apollo Client, Web3.js, Ethers.js, and IPFS. It also adheres to open standards for NFTs, such as ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155, ensuring interoperability and compatibility across different applications. 

In addition to modern technologies, OpenSea, like other NFT, enables interaction with its platform through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), empowering programmable Web3 projects with NFTs. Along with programming expertise and API integration with OpenSea, Visionnaire also has experience with other Marketplaces such as Magic Eden, Blur, Ordinals Wallet, LooksRare, Flowverse, Coinbase NFT, Binance NFT, among others. Also, for artists, Visionnaire has experience with Foundation, Rarible, ArtBlocks, SuperRare, KnownOrigin, among others. 

Detailed Problem
Antonio Ariel Teixeira Filho is a professor and a classical academic artist, acclaimed in national and international exhibitions, with two works cataloged in the Louvre Museum, among other achievements. Since 2005, the artist has been channeling his passion for automobiles into oil paintings on canvas. These artworks captivate enthusiasts of vehicles, thanks to their incredibly realistic quality. 

The artist approached Visionnaire with an interest in selling his works as NFTs, which stands for "Non-Fungible Tokens". In simple terms, NFTs are a type of digital code that represents something unique and indivisible, such as artwork, a video, a game, or any other digital item. Unlike cryptocurrencies, NFTs have distinct characteristics and cannot be replaced by another equivalent token. They are registered on a Blockchain, such as Ethereum, ensuring their authenticity, ownership, and transaction history. This enables creators and collectors to securely and transparently buy, sell, and trade unique digital assets. 

Blockchain, on the other hand, is a decentralized and immutable digital ledger of transactions or information. It functions as a distributed ledger where each transaction is recorded in interconnected data blocks. Each block contains a copy of previous transactions, forming a continuous chain. This technology ensures transparency, security, and trust in transactions as information is validated and verified by a network of participants (nodes) rather than a centralized authority. Blockchain is widely used in cryptocurrencies but also finds applications in various sectors such as finance, supply chain, healthcare, and more. 

Artists can generate income from NFTs by creating and selling unique digital artworks represented by codes. NFTs allow artists to prove the authenticity and exclusive ownership of their creations in the digital realm, which can attract collectors and buyers. Artists can sell their NFTs on specialized online marketplaces, receive royalties whenever their artworks are resold, and even monetize access to exclusive content related to their creations. 

Keeping up with the latest trends in the art market, artist Antonio Ariel Teixeira Filho needed technological support to enter this modern world and found Visionnaire, an expert in modern and innovative technologies.
