Leander Herzog, Etiene Crauss, Frederik Vanhoutte and Coldie: these are the artists that are going to mint their works in the FakeWhale Vault this month.

✨ One week into the Tezos 1of1 event: the magic has just begun!

The main objective behind the creation of this event was to change the narrative behind Tezos NFTs, and raise value for them by highlighting their uniqueness. One week in, let’s just say the amazing team behind this initiative is truly exceeding all positive expectations we already had!

At the time of writing, thousands of #1of1 artworks have already been minted, reaching over 100k in sales volume!
