What is a Itheum Data NFT and what does it enable?

  1. Highly personal or sensitive datasets can essentially function as a NFT allowing for uniqueness and limited availability
  2. Limit the distribution of your highly sensitive or protected datasets to a smaller, controlled circulatory amount
  3. Allow for resale in secondary markets and earn royalties if your data is resold. i.e. if a buyer resells your data, you can earn a % as royalty
  4. Your unique data will be minted with an aesthetic “generative art wrapper” created using the unique signature of the data. E.g. your DNA data can be represented as piece of unique generative art (similar to Autoglyphs) which is sort after as it has rarity, creativity and actual utility
