With NFT technology, the first text message (SMS) in history was put up for sale

The first SMS in history, sent through the British telecom company "Vodafone" in 1992, will be auctioned by the "Agot" house in France, for sale on Tuesday, using "NFT" technology to document digital authenticity.

The first text message in history, sent via the British telecom company "Vodafone" on the 3rd of December 1992, will be put up for sale on Tuesday using "NFT" technology to document digital authenticity, during an auction held by "Agot" house in France.

The message, which was then received by Richard Jarvis, a collaborator with "Vodafone" with "Vodafone" during the Christmas period, consists of 15 letters and includes the phrase "Merry Christmas".

The buyer, who may pay for the message in digital currencies, will become the exclusive owner of a unique digital copy of the communication protocol through which the world's first SMS was sent.

Vodafone indicated that the proceeds from the auction will go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

After being almost unknown a year ago, “NFT” technology has become a major driver of the global auction market, and it is based on granting a document that proves the digital authenticity of a virtual or real product, in an unbreakable system based on blockchain technology (Blockchain) and also documents currency exchanges encrypted.

The "NFT" certificate is unique and cannot be exchanged in any parallel form, which gave it its name "Non-Vangible Tokens", which means "non-replaceable tokens".

The price of digital documents documented with NFT technology has reached millions of dollars at auction, since the record price achieved by American artist Pebble for a digital work with this technology, which reached 69.3 million dollars during an auction by Christie's in March.
