China Daily, an English-language newspaper owned by the Chinese Communist Party's Publicity Department, is offering a 2.813 million Yuan ($390,000) reward to a third-party contractor who can design its own metaverse and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) platform. The contractor can be a Chinese or foreign firm specializing in blockchain, and the mainnet of the blockchain firm that wins the contract must be capable of handling upwards of 10,000 transactions per second. The aim of the China Daily NFT Platform is to "improve the spread of the influence of the Chinese Civilization" through the use of various technologies such as metaverse, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and blockchain. The platform must allow uploading, displaying, and managing digital collections and support multimedia forms and multiple collection types. In addition to its own platform, China Daily will select domestic and overseas mainstream NFT platforms suitable for issuing digital collections.
