What are NFTs?
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are “one-of-a-kind” assets in the digital world that can be bought and sold as a certificate like any other piece of property but, unlike most digital folders, can’t be replaced, traded for something else or duplicated.
Founded by early Bitcoin investor and NFT innovator Nick Rose Ntertsas, Ethernity is a unique digital asset platform that produces limited edition digital collectible NFT’s, within the context of art and philanthropy.
Blockchain technology is used to ensure the scarcity, authenticity, and eternal existence of these digital art collectibles endorsed by mainstream celebrities, notable and historical figures, athletes, musicians and entrepreneurs, such as the Winklevoss twins or Pelé.
Anyone can purchase each limited edition artwork, with a portion of the proceeds going to charitable causes that the celebrity supports.
