The Riyadh Digital Art Forum featured numerous NFT pieces that celebrated the digital age. For those who are a bit confused as to what NFT is, it is just simply a non-fungible token that digitally represents real-world objects. The exhibition also featured workshops and panels that discussed updates and benefits of NFT, digital wallet security, and society’s participation in the metaverse.

The first NFT in history even made it to this exhibition, called ‘Quantum’ by Kevin McCoy, minted back in 2014
