The Nine Tripods of the Zhou Dynasty are not just bronze artifacts; they are symbols of power and legitimacy—successive rulers established their legitimacy by controlling them. In simple terms, back then, the Nine Tripods were the ultimate representation of national assets.

Interestingly, this logic can still be applied today. More and more people are discussing how to digitize these priceless cultural heritages, using blockchain and RWA( real-world asset tokenization) to enable their circulation. Imagine a museum's treasured artifact, through smart contracts and digital assets, allowing more people to participate and even generate real economic value.

This is not just simple NFT hype, but a redefinition of ownership and circulation of cultural assets using Web3 logic. The Nine Tripods once symbolized centralized authority, but after digitization, they may represent a decentralized cultural consensus. It’s a bit ironic, but this is the change of the times.
