First, Hurst has incorporated a collection of 2016 10k technicolor artwork into an NFT on the Ethereum network. Next, stakeholders held a grand sale to buy digital artwork for $ 2,000 each.But the catch gave the owner the next option Replace the NFT with a physical counterpart. Alternatively, hold the token to confirm the original write. At that time, venerable creators hypothesized that the owner would be reassured by the concrete nature of its existence and lean towards the physical component.

At the time of writing, there are still 5,305 NFTs left, with users using about 30 per hour, with only 8 hours left.In addition OpenSea minimum price It is currently at a healthy 6.3 ETH, and further redemption will only increase the NFT shortage.
