House of First is home to the new, novel, and noteworthy. The ultimate partner to collectors and creators for discovering and spotlighting firsts, we are the connection between art, blockchain, and culture. Whether it’s an artist's debut NFT collection, or an established creator’s next brilliant masterpiece, House of First is a platform for cultivating and uplifting compelling voices and extraordinary talent. We are a community for the bold, the visionary, the pathbreakers, artists, and dreamers. We are First. Join us.

House of First is backed by a completely doxxed full-time team of talented professionals with a shared passion for uniting the worlds of technology, art, and community. We are a seasoned global team including front and back-end developers, curators, marketing, partnerships, and community leads. Each one of us is dedicated to the success of this project every day. We are a connected group that specializes in building communities, and we are excited to apply our talents, networks, and resources to maximizing opportunities for all in our community.

To qualify as a First and thus be included in House of First, artistic collections must meet at least one of two firm criteria:

  • First Ever: A metaverse debut with historic launch of a first-time NFT collection — OR –
  • First of a Kind: A premiere collection from an established NFT artist featuring a new format, subject, medium, style or another distinguishable characteristic that can unequivocally be considered a true First.

The integrity of “First” matters greatly as it connotes new, novel, and noteworthy and thus preserves historic value for artist and collector alike.
