Linda Adami on Edge of NFT: The Web3 ReFi Platform Preserving Cultural Heritage
Linda Adami, Founder & CEO, appeared on Edge of NFT in 2023 — a verified placement booked by Podlink for Quantum Temple.
Linda Adami, CEO of Quantum Temple, joined the Edge of NFT podcast to explain how her Web3 platform preserves cultural heritage by bringing the art and culture of ancestral communities onto the blockchain. Speaking from Indonesia, Adami recounts the project's origin during the pandemic in Bali, where tourism makes up 70% of the economy, and cites the UNWTO estimate that only $5 of every $100 spent on a holiday in a developing country stays there. Quantum Temple runs a multi-chain NFT marketplace supporting Ethereum and Algorand, creating immutable on-chain records of heritage with royalty streams flowing to the communities involved. The episode covers the company's $2 million pre-seed round, its UNWTO Awake Tourism Challenge award for local community involvement, its MOU with Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, and the inaugural "Paths to Alangö" collection — eleven NFTs built with eleven Balinese communities, impacting over 6,000 people, launched in Paris during Paris Blockchain Week.
