Jumping on the NFT bandwagon with the superficial buzz in the midst of crypto winter, National Geographic made its NFT debut with Snowcrash, a web3 studio and NFT platform. Its debut NFT collection “GM: Daybreak Around the World” marks the celebration of National Geographic’s 135th anniversary.
This Nat Geo Genesis NFT collection features 16 photographers capturing the daybreak from the world over. These NFT photographs are captured by well-known National Geographic photographers and digital artists.
This includes Justin Aversano, Jimmy Chin, Yagazie Emezi, Mia Forrest, Delphine Diallo, and Kris Graves among 16 other digital artists and photographers. Each participating artist will drop 118 editions of their photographs on the Polygon blockchain in a blind drop.
The mesmerizing picturesque NFTs portray the shores of Byron Bay, Australia; and coastal Oregon to the peaks of Mount Everest. All of these NFTs in the collections serve as a medium for photographers to tell their unique stories. The collection includes 1888 NFTs in total which is set to drop on January 17, 2023.
Justin Aversano’s NFT journey has already started early this year with his NFT platform called Quantum art. He then took a step further by announcing its plan to open the physical NFT gallery. With the latest initiative, more and more digital artists and photographers are coming together to expand their connections across the globe!
