The Openland blockchain project is changing the history of human collection

Published

on

NFT has been hugely popular this year with the popularity of digital cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethernet. NFT is a digital asset designed to track the ownership of specific virtual items, such as works of art or sports trading cards, using blockchain technology.

The total value of NFT transactions tripled to $250 million last year according to data. In the past month alone, NFT’s total sales exceeded $220 million.

The size of the market continues to explode.

There have been many star projects have achieved good performance in the NFT track. The TVK project is a cross-platform ecosystem based on blockchain, focused on sharing and trading with digital collections. The Flow project is more focused on games. The project aims to power next-generation applications, games, and digital assets. Another star project is Chiliz, or CHZ, which is a platform that welcomes both loyal fans of a single team and ordinary sports fans around the world.

No matter TVK, or Flow, CHZ, these star projects show a strong IP attribute from a comprehensive point of view of the above three. As the NFT track, which is based on the advantage of non-homogeneous tokens, it is these differentiated IP that make its projects have the tension to stick to its users, not only using brand-new tokens, but also making it a social currency between users.

IP is the only way for NFT track project.

The dispute between copyright and IP is also pervasive in China. Whether it’s a show, an online celebrity or a startup story, it essentially incubates an IP that can spread widely and have a specific scene. By the same token, the threshold for each user to learn and use is higher if the projects incubated by blockchain technology cannot be IP-oriented.

The NFT track is the golden track of IP. The value of IP itself will also bring greater value to the NFT track. Similar to the content of high-quality IP documentaries, Netflix’s brand awareness has really flown up on the Internet.

So what other IP can be mined? Stamps are an excellent option.

Austria Post has issued a variety of colorful and innovative series of special stamps in recent years, from tight dresses, embroidery and printed leather pants to ceramics, glass, meteor dust or sparkling Swarovski crystals. Now, Austria Post has launched a brand that combines the analog and digital world: encrypted digital stamps.

Croatia Post chose to issue encrypted digital stamps on the occasion of the 180th anniversary of the issue of the world’s first stamp, “Black Penny”, to express the meaning of inheritance. Croatia Post issued a stamp sheetlet entitled “Stamp Day-Croatia Digital encrypted Stamps” on September 9, 2020. The main picture is the means of transport and QR code, with a face value of 50 Croatian Khouna, which is jointly designed by  IvanaVučić and Tomislav-Jurica Kaćunić .

Collecting stamps is almost a hobby engraved in human genes in fact. The world’s first stamp appeared in the UK, designed by William Wayne and featuring a profile portrait of Queen Victoria. The face value is 1p, and black, which is commonly known as “black penny”. It was officially put into use on May 6, 1840, with 11 editions and 72 million copies issued. Stamp collecting almost came into being with the emergence of stamps, and the International Philatelic Federation was born in 1926.

Stamps have been issued for more than 130 years since 1878 in China (the fourth year of Guang Xu of the Qing Dynasty). The China Philatelic Company was established in 1955 and the China National Stamp Corporation was established in 1979 after the founding of New China. The philatelic market is becoming more and more prosperous. Stamp collecting has become the most influential and involved collection activity in the world. Collecting stamps, the Chinese market is also of great value. For example, whether it is the Olympic Games or the fight against the epidemic, China will issue specific commemorative stamps, which in itself is a wake-up call to stamp collecting.

There are many commercial marketing activities similar to stamp collecting that have achieved good results. For example, IP, which collects Shuihu cards, has brought hot sales of small raccoon dry and crispy noodles.

However, the market of traditional stamps is limited. I addition, there are many problems, such as difficult to preserve, inconvenient to trade and so on. However, on the NFT track, these problems are being overcome one by one. The characteristics of stamps are born to blend perfectly with NFT. NFT can indicate its identity information by building a corresponding asset, which has a variety of attribute parameters and is unique, indivisible, and inseparable  to some extent. NFT, which pursues non-homogeneous tokens and art collection value, will have broader commercial prospects with the blessing of stamps.

The openland project is the IP that focuses on stamps + NFT at present. Openland issued the first set of blockchain technology commemorative stamps as part of the physical mapping project at the NFT track. Stamps issued according to the set will have a unique identification code to generate a NFT that automatically maps erc721. The mapped NFT will become the NFT identity authentication of the public chain of the project, and will have the opportunity to enjoy certain rights and interests in the subsequent ecological construction, such as node rights, mining rights and so on.

The NFT mining mode will be launched after the launch of the openland project, which can be divided into two types: NFT pledge mining and social mining. At the same time,  the openland project will also have in-depth cooperation with other DeFi projects in the future according to insider sources.

The goal of openland based on NFT technology is to realize digitalization with existing physical stamps, establish official credibility, guide the virtuous circle of stamp market, push up the overall price of stamps and drive the issuance of physical stamps; The digitization of stamp issuance, that is, no longer issuing physical stamps, issuing digital stamps directly on the chain; and forming the postal block chain stamp trading platform under the permission of national policies and laws and regulations.

It can be said that openland will certainly change the way people collect stamps and leave a great deal of ink in the history of stamp collecting. It is obviously knocking on the door of the history of human collection.

United States, 30th Jul 2026 – HandwrittenToExcel.com has launched a web-based tool that uses AI to read handwritten documents and convert them into Excel spreadsheets.

The tool works without predefined templates. Users upload a photo or scan of a handwritten document and receive a structured Excel file with each handwritten value mapped to the correct row and column. The system handles print, cursive, and mixed handwriting styles, and processes documents it has not seen before without prior configuration.

Since launch, the platform has been used by over 5,000 organizations and has processed more than five million pages. A staffing agency using the tool to process weekly timesheets for 300 field employees reported eliminating weekend data entry shifts within one day of deployment. A school district processing handwritten attendance sheets from 15 locations daily reported reducing what had been a two-person manual operation to a task completed in minutes.

The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant. Uploaded documents are deleted within 24 hours and are not retained for AI training purposes. HandwrittenToExcel.com is powered by Lido.

The Alliterative Alphabet Book Builds Publishing Momentum After BIBF 2026

Published

on

July 30, 2026

By

The Alliterative Alphabet Book by John Akin has gained international exposure after its presentation at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair. Featured at the Explora Books exhibition last June, the independently published children’s picture book was introduced to publishers, booksellers, and rights professionals, prompting discussions about literary representation and broader media opportunities.

John Akin’s The Alliterative Alphabet Book takes readers on a joyful romp through the alphabet, pairing each letter with a wonderfully wordy character—from “amazingly agile acrobat” Angie Axlerod to “zealous zoologist” Zachary Zellenbach—brought to life through the vivid illustrations of Alexis Eastburn. Unlike traditional alphabet books aimed solely at toddlers, Akin’s collection uses a richer, playful vocabulary designed to be read aloud by older children, teenagers, or adults to younger listeners. The result is a shared, multigenerational reading experience that celebrates language, sound, and wordplay. 

Building on the attention generated at the Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books confirmed that The Alliterative Alphabet Book will be featured in an upcoming edition of The New York Times Magazine, introducing the book to a broader readership. At the same time, Explora Books is actively engaging with literary agents to expand opportunities for literary representation. 

A former elementary special education teacher, John Akin spent years immersed in children’s literature, an experience that inspired him to write a book of his own. Drawing on a lifelong fascination with alliteration, Akin created The Alliterative Alphabet Book as a playful tribute to language, humor, and the joy of reading aloud. 

As part of its ongoing efforts to expand publishing opportunities for independent authors, Explora Books continues to engage with literary agents, publishers, and rights professionals to explore representation opportunities for The Alliterative Alphabet Book. Additional information about the title is available at john-akin.com. 

The Alliterative Alphabet Book is available through Amazon and other major online bookstores.
