Raiinmaker, a blockchain-based fan engagement platform, recently partnered with multimedia company Cosmic Wire to roll out six special non-fungible (NFT) tokens to support multiple climate charities.
According to a press release shared with CryptoPotato today, both firms will be launching the NFT collection based on the artwork of the mysterious legendary street artist Banksy.
Support charities for the climate
The digital arts will represent the iconic remnants of Banksy’s original Spy Boot mural, with all of the revenue generated from the royalties being incorporated into NFTs to charity.
The partners have decided to support three charity organizations that are actively fighting climate change, including Laudato Tree, the Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN), and American Forests.
In addition to supporting climate charities, Raiinmaker and Cosmic Wire will also donate $ 100,000.
Speaking on the latest venture, Raiinmaker’s founder, J.D. Seraphine, said, “Right now it’s critical that we all step up and do our part to help turn the tide at this important moment with climate change. We are honored to support all of the important work of CfRN, Laudato Tree and American Forests.
Forever on Blockchain
The Spy Booth Wall Mural is a controversial artwork satirizing government surveillance and wiretaps and had made waves when it first appeared in April 2014 on the wall of a house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
It depicts three spies from the 1950s in brown trench coats using devices to eavesdrop on conversations in a telephone booth.
Interestingly, the house on which the mural was painted was just a little distance away from GCHQ, home of the UK government’s surveillance operations.
Two years later, however, the wall was destroyed and the mural is said to have been lost forever. Fortunately, the remaining fragments of the piece have been recovered and are now preserved for all time in the form of NFTs.
Jared Finck, CEO of Cosmic Herald, added, “At Cosmic, we are truly excited to bring this amazing piece back to the world and preserve it indefinitely for future generations to enjoy. These remnants are all that remain of the work, and now they will be time-capsuled forever in the blockchain.
