In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to web3 and NFT innovator Colin Johnson.
Colin talks to us about Freeport, the concept of Web2.5 and how will bring in the next 100 million customers.
After deciding to leave Apple and dive into web3, he dedicated two months to strategizing and executing the Restore Earth campaign with Angel Protocol on the Terra blockchain. In this campaign, he worked with the Galactic Punks team and developed an incredible collection of NFTs to incentivize donations – which themselves were being sold for thousands of dollars each, and are now the core of a philanthropic web3 community. The campaign was wildly successful, raising over $1.5M for three climate-focused charitable organizations.
Now, as the CEO and co-founder of Freeport, Colin is intently focused on moving as much real-world value as possible onto the Ethereum blockchain. Freeport is merging the worlds of fine art and web3, allowing users to buy, sell and display their favorite pieces of physical fine art and NFTs – all in one place, with assets that have been SEC qualified. Thanks to the tokenization of assets, customers can collect pieces from artists they’ve never been able to access before – like the pilot collection of five incredibly rare Warhols. Living in a world between web2 and web3, Freeport will be the perfect combination of premier customer experience and on-chain utility.
