A 23-year-old stunned the internet by raking in $4.4 million in just two hours—selling pictures of rocks as NFTs. The project, called “EtherRocks,” featured cartoonish digital images of rocks that were nearly identical, yet each was sold as a unique, verifiable token on the blockchain. Originally launched in 2017 as a joke, the collection gained cult status in the NFT world.
Apple effectively ended the keypad phone era with the launch of the first iPhone on January 9, 2007. Featuring a revolutionary multi-touch screen and virtual keyboard, the iPhone replaced physical keypads and redefined how users interacted with mobile devices.
Steve Jobs introduced it as a combination of a phone, iPod, and internet communicator, with the touchscreen as its standout innovation. While Apple kept the home button on some models like the 2020 iPhone SE, the 2017 iPhone X marked the shift to gesture-based navigation and a full-screen design signaling the final move away from physical buttons.
We're now 7 days away from the official Launch of OpenArt Story and this demo is just one way to make music videos. You will have 3 selections to choose from.
Style: matches the style of the music automatically or you can pick your own style and vibe.
Story: Pretty self explanatory, you can create a story automatically based on the music or pick a character to feature in the music video.
Sing: Lip sync your character to your favorite song!
There are more demos coming this whole week up until the official launch day on July 15th!
