AE Studio, a leading product and venture studio driven by world-class developers, data scientists, and designers, has partnered with Hong Kong-based news organization South China Morning Post (SCMP) to launch the first-of-its-kind NFT collection called ‘ARTIFACTs by SCMP’. The first drop on Flow, the blockchain designed to be the foundation of Web3 and the open metaverse, includes historically significant events such as the Handover of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule.
ARTIFACTs are NFTs (non-fungible tokens) of accounts of history or historical assets that capture their context and significance with the ARTIFACT metadata standard and smart contract. AE Studio built the entirety of the web3 functionality on Flow, where users can purchase NFT packs that include a set of NFTs, allowing them to open packs to reveal and obtain the NFT assets included in their packs.

“AE Studio is thrilled to partner with SCMP to launch ARTIFACTs by SCMP that will drive the preservation of history on the Flow blockchain,” said Jevan Fox, EVP of AE Studio. “Along with our partners, we’re bringing the intellect to NFTs, tapping on SCMP’s 100+ years of historical assets.”
ARTIFACT’s metadata structure will be built on the Flow blockchain originally created by Dapper Labs, the company behind NBA Top Shot video collectibles and the partner of choice for world-renowned digital collectibles and consumer-facing decentralized applications. Flow is designed as the foundation for a new generation of digital collectibles and consumer-facing decentralized applications.
“It’s incredible to see how AE Studio is leveraging Web3 and NFTs to help SCMP bring ownership to digital historical assets,” said Mickey Maher, SVP of Partnerships at Dapper Labs. “SCMP is turning history into digital collectibles while also tapping into the vibrant Flow ecosystem to create a community of historical collectors.”

‘ARTIFACTs by SCMP’ are collectible NFTs from the Post’s 118 years of archives. This unique NFT collection allows anyone to discover and own moments in history and join a community that is preserving historical milestones on the blockchain.
Said SCMP CEO Gary Liu, “We’re pleased to collaborate with AE Studios to launch our inaugural collection of NFTs, the ‘1997 Premium Series’. We look forward to growing a community of collectors and eventually produce an ecosystem around the preservation of historical accounts and assets and make history more discoverable, connected, and collectable through the ARTIFACT metadata standard.”
