Appendix 3: vision

Our vision at OVO.SPACE can be expressed with the following simple story. The story is set in a world where blockchain technology has become commonplace.

Taro is an unknown illustrator who uploads his artwork on social media every day, hoping to someday make it as a professional. Every time he receives a 'like' on his uploaded artwork on social media, he checks his phone with excitement, but it's always his acquaintances who are the ones hitting the 'like' button. He appreciates their support but deep down, Taro desires something more. His true wish is, 'I want to go viral! I want more people to recognize my work!

Unfortunately, Taro doesn't possess exceptional talent in illustration. In fact, his friends are aware of this, but seeing him work so hard towards his dream, they couldn't bring themselves to reveal the truth.

Several months pass. Taro has already uploaded over two hundred pieces of artwork on social media. However, his follower count hasn't grown much, and the people hitting 'like' are still the same acquaintances. One day, a famous professional illustrator's artwork goes viral on social media, temporarily capturing the attention of the internet community. Taro is drawn to this buzz and decides to investigate the artwork created by the professional illustrator. What he discovers leaves him stunned.

Surprisingly, the artwork the professional illustrator uploaded is almost identical to something Taro had drawn a month ago. Of course, the quality of the artwork is far superior to Taro's, but in terms of composition and content, it's a carbon copy of Taro's creation. Feeling indignant, Taro decides to leave a comment under the professional illustrator's artwork, stating, 'This person is copying my work from a month ago!' and includes a link to his own artwork. Within minutes, Taro receives a barrage of aggressive comments from users. What's worse, negative reviews mocking Taro's previously uploaded artwork start appearing, and eventually, hate speech insulting Taro's character emerges.

Taro feels a momentary sense of despair, as he has never experienced such mental anguish before. He suddenly realizes something he hadn't noticed before: social media is pure chaos, almost like a conglomerate of irrationality. Disheartened, Taro closes his computer, contemplating giving up on his dreams entirely.

Several hours pass.

Taro's wallet address starts accumulating money rapidly. Taro stares at the growing balance in bewilderment, unable to comprehend what's happening.

In reality, the copyright verification protocol on social media had just been activated. Taro had focused solely on creating artwork, while the professional illustrator, inspired by Taro's work, had created a more polished piece that garnered great success. The reason the professional illustrator succeeded was that they had adopted the 'ideas' Taro had 'provided,' even though they hadn't obtained Taro's permission.

However, every time the professional illustrator earned revenue from that artwork, the copyright verification protocol automatically distributed a portion of the earnings to Taro."

The story concludes here, but OVO.SPACE is working diligently, step by step, to create a society where people can freely present their ideas, fostering a society filled with creativity. By visualizing the information world that exists only within people's minds and organically integrating it with NFTs to add value, a completely new industrial society may emerge.
