In the geographic region of the Middle East and North Africa, there are Blockchain, Crypto, Metaverse and Web3 related organizations and activities that are proudly part of the Crypto Oasis.
According to this document
the Crypto Oasis is the fastest growing Blockchain Ecosystem in the world and has been developing at an remarkable rate over the past year. The purpose of giving the name Crypto Oasis was to offer the entire MENA region a title to stand out amongst the likes of Silicon Valley and the Crypto Valley. The talent and capital for Blockchain migrated from Silicon Valley to Crypto Valley and then to the Crypto Oasis in the Middle East. Thus, we gave it an identity of its own, a unique name.

The evolution of art: Niko Kipouros
“NFTs are one of the biggest revolutions for artists and creators in recent memory. They make the digital world unique, they provide new ways for creators to receive royalties and allow artists to reach a buzzing and borderless market. However, due to their oftentimes superficial implementation, NFTs are not reaching their full security potential. This also harms the long-term value for collectors. Our 4ART NFT+ standard, which enshrines established “best practices” with legal documentation right in the NFT, answers these concerns and stands as an example for a mature implementation. Despite its headline figures, the NFT space presents a high barrier of entry and is still very small as a result. To bring in creators and collectors from outside the Blockchain Ecosystem, technological hurdles must be reduced, and the community opened up. Making FIAT payments and multi-chain choices for NFT minting widely available broadens the appeal immensely, as we have proven with our own marketplace”
