Adidas and Prada Hit the NFT Scene

Adidas Originals has launched the Adidas for Prada Re-source project, designed to engage their community in a creative and sustainable way. This unique initiative invites fans to submit anonymized photographs that will be transformed into NFTs by the talented digital artist Zach Lieberman.

With plans to mint 3,000 community-sourced artworks into one large NFT collage, participants maintain ownership of their individual pieces. Plus, a significant portion of the proceeds will support Slow Factory, a nonprofit dedicated to sustainability. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone!

UNICEF Celebrates 75 Years with NFTs

On the brink of its 75th anniversary, UNICEF has dropped a massive NFT collection of 1,000 data-driven pieces, aiming to enhance internet connectivity in schools. So far, they’ve raised an impressive $740,000.

With the first batch alone netting $550,000, UNICEF has also leveraged a smart royalty structure, earning an additional $50,000 from future resale royalties. This innovative approach could sustain their fundraising efforts for years to come—way to future-proof charity!

WAX Celebrates with Record Airdrop

WAX just popped the confetti as it reached 11 million wallet accounts on its platform. To celebrate this milestone, it’s airdropping an astonishing 10 million free NFTs to the first 10 million wallet holders. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!

This airdrop, which is touted as the largest of its kind, features collectibles representing pivotal moments in WAX’s history, from its 2019 mainnet launch to collaborations with major franchises. Best part? It’s eco-friendly, with zero carbon emissions!

Social Media Sparks NFT Innovations

Meanwhile, social media platforms are diving into the NFT realm. Meta is reportedly getting ready to let Facebook and Instagram users flaunt their NFTs on their profiles. Rumor has it, an NFT marketplace could also be in the works. Fingers crossed, or should we say, crypto fingers crossed?

On the other side of the Twitterverse, the platform has rolled out hexagonal NFT avatars exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers, costing just $2.99 a month. But the online chatter is rife with concerns, as users point out that anyone can simply right-click to save an NFT for themselves. Who knew saving was as easy as clicking?
