Mati

According to UNESCO, about twenty-six native languages become extinct annually worldwide, reducing global linguistic diversity and the loss of cultures that are part of the history of humanity. The preservation of languages is traditionally done by consulting web pages that are operated by governments and depends on what the administration in force says. In addition to physical books that with the passage of time can deteriorate with the risk of disappearing. Faced with this problem, we created Mati (Nahuatl word that means “to know”). We created an NFT collection with the objective to create a digital data base that contains the words of a native language, audible pronunciation and meaning, in this way the words are stored permanently in IPFS. NFTs will be minted with no cost and will be displayed on our webpage for anyone to access to this information.

NFTs minted through a smart contract on the Polygon blockchain. (public goods) IPFS: Metadata, image and audio, stored in this protocol, preserving native languages.
