Through a captivating presentation and a published article, we showcased its pioneering work in utilizing blockchain technology to recognize and safeguard cultural heritage, garnering global attention for our groundbreaking approach.
Pioneering Work in Blockchain Technology and Cultural Preservation
Our Founder and CEO, Linda Adami, and Head of Product, Nicole Sigmaringo, presented their vision at the conference, aptly titled "Quantum Temple: A New Vision for Utilizing Blockchain Technology for the Recognition and Preservation of Cultural Heritage." They shared the stage with our resident Anthropologist, Prof. J. Stephen Lansing during his panel on Cultural Heritage and the Blockchain: New Opportunities for Indigenous and At-risk Communities 1. Their discussion focused on how our organization is using blockchain technology to create new opportunities for indigenous and at-risk communities, ensuring their valuable cultural heritage is recognized and preserved for future generations. In addition to the presentation, Linda and Nicole were published in the conference’s Culture and Computing Journal. Their article, "Advancements in Cultural Heritage Preservation," delves into the significant strides Quantum Temple is making in the field of cultural heritage preservation 2.
Quantum Temple's Impact Fund: A Beacon of Hope
At the heart of our efforts lies the Impact Fund. This fund is dedicated to supporting regenerative projects in ancestral communities, driving sustainability, and contributing to the resilience of these communities. The Impact Fund is fueled by proceeds from our NFT sales, with 40% of sales going directly back to the culture keepers, and an additional 5% feeding into the Impact Fund 3. It's a unique opportunity for anyone to get involved in meaningful work that aligns with our mission.
Bali Rice Paddies Project: Preserving Ancestral Wisdom
One of the noteworthy projects supported by the Impact Fund is the Bali Rice Paddies project. This initiative is aimed at preserving and revitalizing the traditional Subak system of rice paddy cultivation in Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Through this project, Quantum Temple is not only preserving a centuries-old tradition but also promoting sustainable agriculture, supporting local communities, and preserving the unique cultural landscape of Bali for future generations 4.
