Spark World is billed as a win win platform - NFTs with the owners doxed in broad daylight

James Verheul likes to keep things interesting. He studied a triple major at the University of Cape Town in economics, finance and environmental finance. After college he entered into traditional finance working alongside wealth professionals, but his love of interesting things pulled him into crypto back in 2013.

What interested him was Web 3, although it had not been named that as yet. Instinctively, he knew that change was happening in this space.

“It’s definitely the hottest buzz word now, but even back in 2013 I knew I had slipped into the interesting section of the finance market.”

Verheul defines Web 1 as read only, Web 2 as read and write, but Web 3 as read, write and own.

“Going from centralised finance which is so laborious to decentralised finance is very exciting. And to be here at the beginning is off the charts.”

Verheul was not only excited to be part of Web 3, but he also wanted to be part of the creation of Web 3. To that end he teamed up with Joly Horsfal to co-found Spark World. For both founders, NFTs are seen as core to DeFi.
