I think ArtSmiley is also planning to expand the ecosystem to many regions. Will Asia be the best choice? What areas will be the next choices?
Why do you want to combine with the NFT platform? Where does your inspiration come from?
Im interest to learn more about ArtSmiley , do you have any local communities I can join to learn more about you and also be able to stay updated about your project?
From your website, we can submit problem, suggestion, idea or bug report and get reward, where we can submit that?
Is ArtSmiley a global project? Is there a plan to cover Korean, European and African communities? will you launch multiple language lines for non-native English speakers?
Could you explain some of the Recent Major achievements of ArtSmiley , partnerships and long-term plans?
I saw in your website that ArtSmiley started way back to 2017. During the early stages of the company, did you already considered implementing cryptocurrency and blockchain technology into ArtSmiley’s ecosystem or did you just had this idea recently during the NFT boom?
According to your roadmap in your website, why is there a 5th quarter in your yearly roadmap, is it supposed to be just 4 quarters in a year?
For the convenience of the users and your customers, will ArtSmiley develop a simple mobile/tablet application of your platform?
Hi Art Smiley!
Art Smiley has an impressive exhibition history and an amazing art collection both on the main site and on the NFT platform. I noticed that some art pieces have an unusual Rent/Month parameter, could you please explain what it is? Do you allow customers to rent pictures without buying them? How do you guarantee the pristine condition on return in this case, surely not everyone will display art in proper conditions without the direct sunlight etc.. Thank you!
Hi Art Smiley!
I wanted to ask if the art displayed and sold on the main site is radically different from the art on display in the NFT marketplace? Have you noticed any trends in what types of art, maybe specific artists’ work, sell better in physical form and what sells better as an NFT? When accepting new collections do you recommend artists the best venue, NFT or traditional paintings, that you think will sell best according to the artist’s style? Thank you!
Hi Art Smiley!
I understand Art Smiley has been selling physical art for some time, right?. Now you also open an NFT art marketplace that will allow you to expand into the digital world of blockchain. Good thing about the NFT technology is that not only does it allow the sale of art, it can also be natively used as a proof of ownership of the digital art. Do you plan to also sell a digital NFT ownership certificate when selling physical art pieces? If so, could previous buyers reach out to Art Smiley to generate NFT ownership certificates for the art that was sold before the NFT marketplace was opened? Thank you!
Is your market place open for everyone? Some users may try to sell copyrighted materials. How you deal with copywrite issues? Is there a special team with you to identify and to solve these problems? Do you have a procedure to take legal actions against that kind of cases? Further, what is the cost associated with listing items on your site? Do you allow reselling and dropshipping? If you allow them, don’t you think it will be unfair to the original creators?
You have indicated that $Smileys are necessary to buy NFTs available on the platform. Is this applicable to your art also? However, don’t you think introducing fiat options will be beneficial in the long run? During a volatile market, your token may be undervalued and overvalued. Users can buy low and sell high on your platform just to earn some tokens. It will not help artists and will change your platform from a gallery to a betting place. In my opinion, fiat transactions are better for this kind of project which has a social value. What are your future plans about payment options? Are you going to use both fiat and $Smileys? Or do you offer one option? What are the reasons for choosing the particular option/ options?
35% of your funds have been used for sales and marketing! What kind of activities you have done with this allocation? It seems you have many local and global competitors and you have to spend a lot to fight with them. Do you try to make your platform popular just by marketing? Can you please explain about some points which make you unique? There are so many globally accepted market places to buy art works and NTFs. Why should we choose you? What are the unique services you offer? Further, on your platform, I cannot see a section for reviews. Reviewing is a vital part of online selling and good reviews boost sales. Why didn’t you include that kind of section? Without seeing any positive experience of past buyers, how can we trust you and do payments?
One of the uniqueness of Art Smiley that you said will give you competitive advantage in the already saturated NFT space is that you will be the first NFT marketplace that will introduce “Phygital” works, a new lexicon that means Physical and Digital in NFTs. You also said that you can also take custody of physical traditional Artwork. In what regions do you have physical gallery and how do you obtain these physical art collections? How will you bring these physical asset into digital NFT? What will be the process of authenticating these traditional art piece and tokenising them when creating a digital version? And if a user buy a digital representation of a traditional art piece, will this grant such user the opportunity to get the physical artwork?
Looking at your NFT Flowchart Value chain and roadmap, I saw that you are going to have NFT vaults. Generally in Defi, vaults are used to securely hold custody of deposited and locked assets in farming or staking pools. Hence, am curious to know the role that will be played by your NFT Vault within the ArtSmiley protocol. What will be the functions of NFT vaults and how will it be used? What type of digital collectibles can be deposited in the vaults and what are the procedure for depositing and accessing collections in these vaults?
I was studying your Tokenomics and I found out that out of the 100 million maximum supply of $SMILEY that you have, the highest distribution which is 20% of the maximum supply is allocated to foundation and another 10% allocated to team. Whom or what do you refer to as foundation and why do they deserve the highest allocation? Also, based on the information you made public, your project is made up of 6 team members which include 4 core team members and 2 advisors. Why do you allocate 10% of your 100 million maximum supply to team while only 8% of this supply is allocated to the larger public to purchase in public sale? How will the team token be released and used?
In Art smiley, artists can register into the community and upload their artworks. All the contents placed in art smiley are said to be curated by experienced art industry professionals and the selected art will be traded through the platform.. Artworks could be in different forms portraying different messages, what do you look out for in art works of community users before allowing the artwork to become tradable on the platform, how is the price for the artwork arrived at, and how do you select the professionals that will curate the art work…
Going through your roadmap I read that Art smiley intends to build a “Smiley AR/VR Platform” which will have an Immersive AR/VR. on the roadmap, there is also a plan to implement Gaming Integration with NFT’s, as well as Artwork Proofing services.. so how will your AR/VR platform work, how will your gaming integration be implemented, what types of games will you be integrating and how will the proposed Artwork Proofing services work.
As I see on the website of Artsmiley, there is a segment for “Recommended Art”. How do Artsmiley choose these arts to recommend to the users? Are these arts sponsored by creators or is there a community voting system which determines it?
Artsmiley has a very wide range of NFT offer! How do Artsmiley choose these arts to publish in its system? What are the steps you take to keep high quality work your shop. Do some experts or specialists decide the value of these arts or do content creators simply choose a price for their art?
What are the ways of buying arts in Artsmiley? As I see in your website traditional payment methods such as Visa, MasterCard and PayPal are accepted but do you also accept payments with crypto coins? Since art is expensive, will you ask KYC or some kind of identity check for people who want to buy art with crypto?
With NFTs marketplaces being as popular as they are right now, I’d like to know the marketing strategies you will have to ensure you stand out from the huge crowd. Also, what are the main advantages you have over other already established marketplaces and why should investors pick *you*?
Artsmiley is a platform that resides in the United Arab Emirates, and on its website i observed that when a user buys or rent a piece of art you are in charge of all the logistics and installation of it, I would like to know if these benefits and the platform are only available to users who reside in the United Arab Emirates, or if on the contrary, anyone in any part of the world can buy or rent a work of art through this platform and receive this logistical help, and in case this is not possible at the moment, do you plan to expand globally to other continents such as Europe, North America or Latin America? Or will you focus only on the Asian market?
One of the characteristics that makes ArtSmiley unique is the fact that it offers only high quality works of art selected by professional curators, however I can’t help but wonder, if this is the case, most of the published works will be by artists already famous and recognized worldwide? For this reason, I would like to know if you plan to also offer opportunities to independent artists who may not be the most recognized or famous, but that have an extraordinary talent to be able to publish their pieces of art on the platform and thus grow both the community of artists, as well as that of the art lovers?
In his Pitch Deck I could see that ArtSmiley has many achievements including that “ArtSmiley was established in 2017 and in operations since 2018 as the LEADING art market in the Middle East” and in 2020 it won the “Digital business of the year award” at the Gulf Capital SME Awards, this shows us the great successes that ArtSmiley has had in the Middle East, which is surprising and that makes ArtSmiley a great project that has a stable and promising future ahead of it. I would like to know what are the new projects that your platform has to continue innovating in the world of Art and cryptos? What other parts of the world are planning to expand to make the ArtSmiley community grow much more? Latin America and if so, in which countries do you plan to start? What new methods are ArtSmiley trying to use to call more users, artists and buyers, to increase the growth, expansion and development of this incredible platform?
Something that caught my attention about ArtSmiley is that you have advantages over your competitors, among them are, the knowledge of the art market, its technology and End to End Process, which among them highlighted me very much that you have recognized brands in the Middle East , you have NFTs assigned to RealWorld artworks (both digital and physical), and they have Community Vote through ArtsDAO that allows community participation, and all these characteristics make ArtSmiley a pretty strong platform in the face of market competition. As Art Smiley plans to expand its market beyond the Middle East, Do you plan to implement an auction system that allows the greater participation of both artists and buyers, and in this way generate a greater impact on the community, which would allow increase the participation of new artists, users and buyers?
I have read that very soon you will have your ArtSmiley IDO, can you please expand the information, tell us, how many addresses will participate in the whitelist, how many NFTs will be available, if there will be an initial price and at the end of this IDO, what can users expect next?
Among ArtSmiley’s features is an NFT tokenization Engine service that can be used to tokenize both physical and digital art … this is very interesting because we are already used to digitized art NFTs, but how do you tokenize physical art? Also, can you explain to us how Smiley Tokens are used throughout the process?
The staking contract of your platform allows NFT holders to receive rewards, can you tell us the details about this staking system and how it works for NFTs? Can rewards be received passively just for being a holder or is it necessary to invest Smiley tokens or other assets to obtain the rewards?
Nowadays the competition with the NFT is fierce and every day there are more projects that join this great competition, so I believe that only projects with really strong bases prevail over time, knowing that trends change fast and that only those who know how to innovate and adapt, are those who remain and grow, as ArtSmiley is preparing to compete, what elements make you unique and innovative, what are your strategies to promote and make successful the NFT that are developed and marketed on your platform?
How are ArtSmiley’s NFTs and digital art characterized, how can users differentiate them from similar projects, what is the unique value they offer to users that makes it worthwhile to support this project and/or be part of it?
As a Smiley token holder, we get a preferential price of all artwork (NFT or non NFT) listed in the ArtSmiley marketplace. Is the preferential price the same for all holders regardless of the number of Smiley tokens they have? In addition to this benefit, what other exclusive benefits can holders enjoy? Do holders receive exclusive access to art exhibitions?
What happens if a user buys a painting and when it reaches the destination site the painting has been damaged on the way? Does ArtSmiley offer any kind of insurance in these cases? Can the artwork be returned? Can the buyer request a refund?
I did read that ArtSmiley allows Artists to write a blog, that will appear in the blog section of the website. Do artists have to pay an additional price to create a blog?
How does ArtSmiley guarantee buyers that all artworks sold at your community are authentic and original? What process do you go through to determine the authenticity of a work of art? Is there a team of specialists who evaluate the paintings before they are published on the platform?
Does ArtSmiley offer personalized customer service? If a user has doubts before buying a painting, can you help and facilitate the process of finding the correct work of art? Do you provide advice to buyers?
Do you accept in ArtSmiley any kind of hand painted art? Are there any restrictions or censorship? What kind of art is not supported by the platform? Some platforms do not accept nudity while others do. Are artistic nudes accepted in the ArtSmiley gallery?
Art pieces in ArtSmiley can be sold in digital and also printed, so they are not unique pieces of art, do NFTs have place in your ecosystem? Do you also have unique pieces?
I read on your website that artSmiley is Based in Dubai, it called my attention and I would like to know, is it easy to be a crypto related corporation in the UAE? How are the regulations about blockchain and cryptocurrencies there?
I would like to know if the creators of NFT and digital art to be part of ArtSmiley and use all its services, have to meet certain specific requirements, could you please expand this information and indicate the steps to follow to apply or register and start creating on your platform?
every project has a story, could you please tell us a little bit about the beginnings of ArtSmiley, how long has it taken you to build what you have now, how difficult has it been for you and what is the most ambitious goal you wish to achieve with this project?
On your roadmap there’s pointed for the next quarter Governance with additional coins, from what I know your platform works with your native token $Smiley but there’s also a place for stablecoins, can you give us more details about the inclusion of other currencies to your ecosystem and how will they be useful?
I could see that among the differentiators of your platform you focus on partnerships with Art Fairs and Exhibitions, can you tell us some of them? And what is the position of ArtSmiley in relation to the physical exhibits of the real world? What role do smiley tokens play?
What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market? In contrast, what is your weakness? How do you plan to overcome it and tell us about goals of your Roadmap
NFT is getting so much hype and growing rapidly. But individual artists still can’t get the hype that they deserve. What can Artsmiley do for them?
Art smiley multi sided NFT market place established with more artists, collecters, investors & crypto lovers. So how do you offer unique Phygital artworks, brining traditional art into NFT ownership? How is it differ from other NFT market places? And also you have mentioned, about integration of User friendly, interoperable marketplace with end to end process c/w AI, AR/VR technologies. In which way are these technologies affected on the whole community including Dev’s team of Art smiley platform?
Talking about tokenomics, $SMILEY is built on BSC smart chain with initial allocation towards variety directions. Can you tell us, on which purpose did you allocte the tokens towards different directions? Only 20% $SMILEY of total supply have been allocated for private & public sale. Why is it too less & why didn’t you integrate any burning mechanism or locked wallet in Token allocation? Lot of platforms add a transaction fee to enhance the growth of their native tokens. How much is the transaction fee of $SMILEY?
ArtSmiley been a one stop platform for unique collections of physical and digital art pieces and contents, offers a variety of services to art lovers and enthusaist, amongst which is it’s Corporate Services; boasting of features such as the Art for Business, Art for Trade and Gift Guide. Can you briefly elaborate on these corporate features as provided by ArtSmiley, how can clients and art collectors sign up to this service, and what forms of art (physical, digital or both) are available in your corporate services section, does ArtSmiley accept the hiring and lending of art within this category?
I read a medium article about the Art smiley IDO was on 23rd of June, process on Finminity which was compulsory KYC process. Can you tell us about that IDO & the partnership with Finminity platform? Is that IDO still ongoing? Will there be more IDOs in future with upcoming partnerships?
Part of ArtSmiley’s incorporated technology and services especially for NFTs and digital art collections, is it’s NFT Staking, ArtYields, and voting privileges through ArtSmiley’s community governance feature known as ArtsDAO. With the ArtYields serving as a means of rewards distribution from the sale and renting of arts, how is this process effectively implemented within the ArtSmiley protocol, and talking about NFT Staking as offered by ArtSmiley, how is the process carried out, and with the ArtsDAO community governance feature, how are activities such as staking, rewards distribution, fees, etc., directly impacted by the actions of the DAO?

HI ArtSmiley,
Beyond spicing up our now almost-entirely virtual lives, for artists and creators, NFTs are an equal-access platform. The traditional art world is elitist. In some part of the world women who artist when little because of their gender.How can ArtSmiley break down several of the traditional barriers for artists (especially women )by democratizing access?How can ArtSmiley change the traditional power dynamics for women creators using NFTs?For the several women artists, who do creative gig work, How can ArtSmiley help free them from the starving artist syndrome using NFTs?Most importantly perhaps, will ArtSmiley allow women to kickstart a virtuous cycle of art-as-allyship with NFTs?
I read that ArtSmiley was established in 2017 and in operations since 2018 as Middle East’s leading art marketplace. What makes ArtSmiley want to reach into blockchain and NFT section ? Do you change your marketplace from traditional art into NFT art?
I see your website is a marketplace which selling and offered art NFT, who are the creator of that NFT? Are they your staff or outsider? If im a digital artist, can i use your platform to create art NFT also what are the requirement ?
ArtSmiley was the first project to come to Satoshi Club on AMA, which offers us options for gifts for our relatives, friends or colleagues. I have carefully studied “GIFT GUIDE”. And I discovered that you can buy gift cards. It’s great! So, you have instructions on how to choose and buy a gift or gift card. But somewhere you can find information about the gift card itself: what card denominations do you offer to choose from, how to present and send it to the recipient, how to activate it, and does the card have any terms for activation at all? Is the card tied to a specific category of goods on your platform, or can the owner use the card’s denomination for any purchase?
There are already so much project who have art NFT marketplace. So why do you think ArtSmiley can compete with NFT marketplace that already exist? What makes you confident that ArtSmiley can become the top NFT marketplace in DeFi world?
ArtSmiley offers Corporate Services. One of them is Renting Artworks. Art Smiley can offer us art works for rent, which can be changed from time to time and bring a fresh ambiance to us office, which will help to motivate us team and help in achieving better results. Can you tell us more about this, how does the whole rental process, delivery and installation to offices look like? Would shipping and installation be costly for ArtSmiley, which would devalue the rental income?
I noticed that you have curators everywhere: top art by curator and curators also help in choosing gifts. So who are curators, how can you become a curator, what are their functions and on what questions a user can contact them? Are there any programs and incentives for curators?
In cryptospace NFTs is becoming competitive,making it difficult for users to choose which to invest in.Even though ArtSmiley have more than one Unique Selling Point ,what set you apart from this NFTs competitors?How are your reward distribution done?How will ArtSmiley facilitate NFTs that are linked to real-world art?
There are many tokens out there with no use, what will be the use case for artsmiley tokens and how does it affect the artsmiley ecosystem
