Design Concept
“ALL IN ALL”
The land that nature nurtures and the technology that humans create all come together and transcend into art. This nature and technology, along with a story, harmonize and live forever as a work of art.
By creating new experienced value through technology, with a focus on 3DCG and blockchain technology, without stopping the economic and cultural flow in the field of entertainment, 1SEC will continue to support the economic acceleration of brands and creators in order to contribute to the development of the industry.
1Block LAND
