Forbes introduces its long-awaited Under 30 list on the Ethereum blockchain, marking an industry-first milestone. This initiative demonstrates the integration of blockchain for secure and transparent data storage.
The prestigious Under 30 list, known for highlighting exceptional young entrepreneurs and innovators, will use the Ethereum blockchain to archive its data. Each category and individual profile from the list will be permanently recorded on the blockchain, securing the accomplishments and stories of these outstanding individuals for the long term.
Vadim Supitskiy, Forbes’ Chief Digital and Information Officer, said,
"Forbes is at the forefront of marrying traditional media with cutting-edge technology. By launching the Under 30 list on the Ethereum blockchain, we're not just recognizing the influential young leaders; we're also demonstrating the vast, untapped potential of blockchain technology in the realm of data storage and security."
Taha Ahmed, Forbes’ Chief Growth Officer, added,
"The blockchain-enabled Under 30 list is just the beginning."
"We are excited to continue exploring how blockchain and Web3 technologies can transform the way we share, store, and secure important information."
Forbes 30 under 30 is stored in the form of ERC-721 token standards for NFTs.
