A Tezos NFT Event Showcasing the Power of Valuing and Sharing Art VIA Objkt Referral Links

We often talk about supporting the projects and artists we love, so it’s essential that those who take extra initiative receive the recognition and rally cries they deserve. The Tezos community continues to heed this call, creating exciting and inclusive events for Tezos users like Digital Art Mile, Tezcon, BaliArtSpace, and many more. Another prime example of this is the upcoming Share4Tez event. Whether you are a collector, artist, or general Tezos enthusiast, let’s dive into why you won’t want to miss this!

What, When, and Why Share4Tez

Starting on July 10th and running through July 14th, Share4Tez is an event conceived and organized by Retro Manni and Limbo Universe. This event aims to help Tezos artists raise their self-evaluations while increasing the incentive for collectors to collect and, more importantly, share the art they love.

To achieve these goals some requirements have been put in place. For one, the event’s minimum listing price is 5 tez. Another guideline is that artists set the referral fees between 15% and 25% when minting. The final requirement is to include the hashtag #Share4Tez within the mint template and when posting on socials. When navigating Objkt as a collector, searching the #Share4Tez hashtag will also help you find the art that is part of the event.

Both artists and collectors are encouraged to use the share button, which generates a link to the artwork with a referral code assigned to you. If anyone uses that link to collect, you can automatically receive that 15–25% referral bonus set by the artist. The idea of sharing other artists’ work with this link to earn tez on referral fees is why the event has been named, Share4Tez.

More About the Objkt Referral Link Feature

For anyone new to using the Objkt Referral links, the easiest way to take part is to generate a link when viewing an NFT on Objkt. The share button is at the bottom left corner of the image preview, as shown below.

Another option comes more naturally as you collect art you love. When you successfully finish collecting an artwork, the following prompt will appear. Sharing on socials from this prompt will auto-generate your referral link.

It’s That Simple!

This is a perfect opportunity to support the artists of the Tezos Community regardless if you have tez to buy art. If you have a social media account or spend time in Discord and Telegram channels, you can help while potentially earning some tez from referral fees.

A Useful Tool To Explore During Share4Tez Is: Objkt GALLERIES

Another powerful feature offered at Objkt that works in harmony with the referral system is the ability for users to curate galleries. Curating galleries on Objkt is easy, fun, and potentially lucrative. When navigating to the “Create” tab, select the “Curation” option to the right of “Collection,” and the following template will appear. You can also click here to navigate directly.

Once you have created your gallery, the process becomes much easier and the fun begins. You have just created your theme and now it’s time to “window shop” all the amazing art on Tezos. When you find an artwork you want to add to your curation, click the three dots at the top right of the preview image and select “add to curation”.

Once you have finished your Objkt Gallery, you have curated a perfect experience for Share4Tez. Now you can share it and…earn some tez! When art gets collected via your gallery, you earn a referral fee, just like with the referral links. When you utilize this method, you also get a beautiful UI that displays the gallery's performance metrics.

Potential Beneficial Outcomes of Events Like Share4Tez

Many artists will tell you that sharing is just as significant as collecting. Sales are challenging enough even with a captive audience; however, the added difficulty of being favored by social media algorithms makes visibility a constant uphill battle. By collecting and sharing art on Tezos, you exponentially increase the artists’ chances of being discovered by active art lovers outside our regular user base. With the Objkt referral link feature, everyone involved wins.

Additionally, many artists on Tezos have voiced concerns about raising their prices, fearing they would not make sales. Share4Tez aims to encourage them otherwise. It’s important to acknowledge that 1 tez can be a lot to someone in one part of the world and very little to others. However, part of the opportunity of the Tezos blockchain is our ability to meet on a level playing field and grow together.

What if the average listing price for a Tezos artist was 5 tez instead of less than 1? Would it cause the standstill in sales many artists fear? Or could it possibly be a catalyst for the entire ecosystem, pushing towards its technology and user IP’s real value? Share4Tez should be an interesting experiment that yields results to these questions.
