PROBLEMS
The project preserves the history and transformation of iconic mountains through contrasting perspectives, raising awareness of their cultural and environmental significance. By combining storytelling, exclusivity, and core values like freedom and curiosity, it connects NFT investors with nature enthusiasts, bridging digital art and environmental consciousness.
MARKET RESEARCH
For primary research, we interviewed three people who regularly go hiking or camping, and one of them had basic knowledge of NFTs. After the interviews, we analyzed their responses and identified key values. A shared value among interviewees was experiencing enjoyable moments in the mountains.
Additionally, we researched the NFT market to understand how it works and what makes it appealing globally. We studied the top four NFT artists and identified four key factors behind their success: scarcity marketing, unique design, high exposure rate, and hidden messages.
