Real Estate Based NFTs in the Alibaba Art Festival:  NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is collaborating with Web3Games, a blockchain gaming company, and Chinese artist Heshan Huang to help him sell his non-fungible token (NFT)-based “real estate” at Alibaba’s Taobao Maker Festival this year.

For clarity, Alibaba Group Holding Limited, also known as Alibaba Group and Alibaba.com, is a Chinese multinational technology company specializing in e-commerce.

Taobao is a Chinese online shopping platform, which Alibaba owns. The platform facilitates C2C services for small businesses.

NEAR is an open-source platform that makes it easy for creators, communities, and markets to drive a more open, interconnected, and consumer-empowered world. It is easy to build an app using NEAR protocol in just 5 minutes.

By bridging blockchain technology, NFTs, and DeFi with virtual gaming, Web3Games makes it possible for players and developers to take ownership of their gaming experience.

Heshan Huang is a Chinese artist who is ranked among the Top 1,000,000 globally.

NFTs, mostly built on decentralized public chains with native coins, appear to have escaped China’s new crypto crackdown.

Jack Dorsey Square and TBD:  Square has unveiled a new initiative called (TBD) Think Before Dropping by collaborating With Seller Cash App and Tidal All in One.
