In 2017 with cryptocurrency in full swing, blockchain platforms popping up all over the place, and NFTs emerging, how were businesses supposed to keep up? It seemed there was a massive gap in the market for management solutions for companies and individuals who needed to utilize these technologies but didn’t know where to start. This is where BG Roszak and a group of friends-turned-colleagues found their time to shine. 7S was born and had been evolving and leading the charge ever since.
Who is 7S?
Initially founded in 2004 on 4chan by a small group of Poles and Germans passionate about philosophy and Technology, 7S has grown into the international, multicultural team it is today. They are coding together as teenagers, leading to working informally over many years on projects based worldwide. The group has remained practically anonymous even to this day. Still, it forms a sophisticated group of like-minded blockchain and NFT solutions engineers, developers, and hackers, undertaking premium software development, focusing on smart contracts, NFTs, and blockchain integration.
A group like this may not seem like the choice of multinational brands or celebrities, but in fact, this is precisely what many businesses want. Their independence and lack of corporate structure and external investors or VCs means they can be flexible, innovative, and play by their own rules. This has attracted huge businesses, world-renowned brands, and independent clients with wealth to invest in.
What does 7S NFT do?
In late 2017 group member, BG Roszak realized that the majority of the population was struggling to understand the complex and elitist world of crypto. With the massive growth of crypto platforms, apps and blockchains, it was almost impossible for individuals and businesses to utilize the Technology that their businesses, wealth, jobs, and ultimately the quality of life would depend on in the future.
Roszak knew that the mass adoption of technologies like NFT would depend on changing the way information about NFTs is communicated and how NFT platforms are being developed. It became clear that for NFTs to become more pervasive, they needed a drastically improved user experience; not a “cryptocurrency” user experience, but more like an Apple or Shopify way to browse and shop for NFTs.
NFT Shops are The Future
Dissatisfied with the existing NFT platforms and marketplaces, 7S began developing NFT Shops at the beginning of July 2021. The initial idea was to make NFTs accessible to buy for anyone, not just crypto users. However, the concept gained immense popularity so quickly that 7S immediately saw the potential and began promoting and advocating this solution to a vast community of entrepreneurs, artists, and creators willing to enter the NFT game. We’re not just talking about selling digital art here. Roszak firmly believes that most businesses will be NFTed in some form within a couple of years. The beauty of an NFT is that it can be used as a deed of electronic ownership. The system’s integrity is maintained by the fact that the blockchain is a secure and generally unchangeable digital record.
With this secure system already in place, 7S is now simplifying the user experience for both businesses wanting to integrate selling NFTs and buyers investing in NFTs. 7S wants to make NFT selling more accessible, faster, and more scalable with beautiful, easy-to-navigate shops combined with the users existing websites. Most importantly, they want to make complicated tech solutions appealing to non-crypto customers. NFT Shops are immersive experiences with a strong focus on UX and UI. Their design, layout, colors, imagery, videos, animations, and fonts are fully customizable, and the focus is on attracting both crypto-native and no-crypto collectors and buyers. They are integrated with several external payment gateways, including Bitcoin, Paypal, and credit cards, so crypto and non-crypto buyers are welcome.
These shops open up an exciting new world of engagement and opportunities. NFT Shop owners and entrepreneurs will interact in new ways with their customers by minting exceptional experiences, collaborations, iconic images, memorable campaigns, luxury designs, loyalty cards, direct-to-avatar assets, collectibles, time-share investment opportunities, or tokenized real-world products.
Just as business owners can now manage websites, NFT Shops have a simple, integrated back-office to collect the payments, inventory, relationships with the collectors, transactions management, etc. This is groundbreaking, putting the NFT Shop owner in charge of the business for the very first time.
The Birth of a New Era
Leaders of the NFT industry including BG Roszak and 7S believe that the internet we know today, all the websites, social media, shops, games and worlds are just a seed of the metaverse that will one day be a persistent digital destination, with interchangeable currencies, varying privacy and data regulations, payment systems, verifiable NFT IDs, digital goods, and digital goods giving access to physical goods and services as well. This isn’t a picture of the future in 30 years; this is happening now. NFTs are exploding, and NFT Shops are the birth of this new era. 7S is currently setting up NFT Shops and preparing for blockchain-based video games, where NFTs will play a crucial role. Believe it or not, but it is already on the cards for NFTs to eventually become intelligent, embedded with interactive, intelligently generative capabilities, and capable of sense-making and possibly human-level intelligence in the coming decades.

Getting into NFTs
Twenty years ago, as a teenage programmer, Roszak was constantly coming up against resistance from businesses that refused to set up websites. Of course, in hindsight, we can see how wrong this was, but at the time, it probably seemed like a massive risk for business owners. Unfortunately, many of those who did not take advantage of Roszak’s offer to set up a website for them no longer exist. The rest who waited too long lost the competitive edge to early adopters.
Roszak says he sees a very similar pattern with NFTs. The difference is that NFT technology is moving fast. It took almost ten years from when the creation of a website was technically possible and the period when the majority of companies and entrepreneurs had websites. You won’t have ten years to think over your options with NFTs. You may be wondering why this is all moving so fast. It’s all down to the blockchain and the empowerment of individuals to be more protected and independent than ever. NFT Technology is revolutionizing everything towards an era of digital ownership and individual sovereignty. This is the most significant cultural and economic shift in centuries. For the first time in history, the individual is empowered with encryption technology that allows them to secure property and ownership in a way that is immune from any coercion or violence.
Looking into the (near) future, this means any object of value, any product will ultimately be tokenized because of the benefits of digitization and increased liquidity. Anything you can buy from art and music to clothing, shoes, property…anything you can buy will be tokenized and can be bought and sold in NFT Shops. This is already happening, and so far, the revenues observed in the NFT ecosystems are dramatically higher than those surveyed in their non-crypto equivalents. The opportunity is here for the taking!
Just as early website adopters had a huge advantage, those who understand how to build digital businesses and the tokens and networks that will likely bind them will be ahead of the game. Now is the time to learn, research, and be willing to use a bit of creative improvisation where needed. BG Roszak and 7S are leading the way and promise that those who are quick to move now will be rewarded accordingly.
