A video and photograph NFT marketplace – Savage – has hired a new ambassador Paul Nicklen (a famous videographer and photographer who plays the role of an advisor and project contributor). He is a Canadian person, a filmmaker, as well as a marine biologist who has spent more than 20 years after the beauty of our planet by documenting everything offered by nature.
He had played the role of some assignment photographer under Sony Artisan of Imagery as well as a prominent magazine called National Geographic. He has obtained the prestige of being the well-established polar conservationist and specialist across the world with his high-profile and creative work. However, despite being a renowned photographer, Nicklen did not focus on the NFT industry. He was somehow skeptical in the matter of the NFTs due to the negative environmental effect caused by them.
As per different environmental studies, a normal single-edition NFT has a carbon footprint equal to the amount of gasoline required by a car to drive nearly 1,000 kilometers. In addition to this, it had been tracked by an artist that a collection of NFTs spanning over six months contains a carbon footprint equaling nearly 260-megawatt hours. This energy amount could be utilized to run a normal European household for more than 77 years.
Counterbalancing the carbon footprint
Savage (the video and photo NFT platform), to counterbalance the carbon footprint thereof, chose EnergyWeb, the Crypto Climate Accord, and Polygon Studios as its collaborators to develop a decentralized application that would be absolutely carbon neutral. Having assistance from the advisory of EnergyWeb and Crypto Climate Accord as well as the PoS (proof-of-stake) consensus algorithm of Polygon network, the venue will be capable of efficiently administering the carbon offsets. The pro-environmental moves permitted Savage to turn into the world’s initial marketplace of NFTs (for high-resolution photos and videos) which is carbon-neutral.
An emerging NFT platform “Savage”
Savage is bringing a revolution to the industry of stock footage with having assistance from blockchain technologies providing a significant convenience for the process of monetization of the digital content for numerous creators across the world and Paul Nicklen is one of those high-profile professionals. The NFT marketplace of Savage is moving towards transforming the respective industry via the implementation of blockchain technology to put a disruptive effect and enable the numerous NFT creators to conveniently monetize the digital content thereof.
