Non-custodial cryptocurrency platform ShapeShift DAO has launched a new nonfungible token (NFT) auction in support of female artists in the nonfungible token and blockchain industries — a segment of the population that remains underrepresented in the rapidly growing digital economy.
The auction for “Block 495559—Crypto Kitties and the Great Hairball in the Tubes,” a collaborative one-of-a-kind NFT series created by female artist LunaHawk and ShapeShift DAO director GrayMachine, will be held on OpenSea between April 4–11. The NFT series was minted on the Ethereum mainnet and will include custom, animal-themed digital art that conveys the history of the cryptocurrency market through various animals.
