February 10, 2021 – Ethernity, a NFT project that’s focused on charitable causes, auctions artwork featuring artists and stars from music, film, sports, crypto and other industries. Each of the digital artworks is represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) and has been created by renowned artists. The pieces feature well-known public figures and a portion of all funds raised from the endeavor will be donated to charitable causes.
Public figures who are participating in the debut Ethernity collection include Gemini founders the Winklevoss brothers, soccer legends Christian Vieri and Paolo Maldini, Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin, Swedish DJ Alesso, Belgian DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
