      ab: In a pre-digital epoch, humans possessed the material means of production through material labor, which allowed them to exercise subjective agency and establish their existence as subjects through the acquisition of property rights. As digital technology has advanced, our digital being now forms an integral element of our fundamental human existence. In the age of the "metaverse," we must confront and provide an answer to the topic of how to thrive better in the digital virtual world. The rise of Crypto Art, now imbued with a tangible worth by the incorporation of Blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens in the artistic sphere, has opened new vistas for us to verify our subjects within the "metaverse", thereby securing the liberty of our digital existence. However, crypto art, as digital labor under the techno-capitalist system, inevitably brings about the problem of alienation of digital laborers and their products, impacting the vulnerable subjects in the "metauniverse". The communitarian mechanism and spirit of consensus inherent within the blockchain present potential pathways towards resolution. In addressing this predicament, crypto art must first transform into a societal intermediary committed to fostering a community centered around the sharing of digital resources. This would empower digital workers to genuinely possess their labor and acquire property rights on a public and communal platform, ultimately leading to the restoration of subjectivity.
