The number of artworks per species is chosen to be equal to the current number of animals in the wild.
Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs, are revolutionizing the art market right now. They enable unique virtual collectibles that cannot be replaced or copied. To raise awareness and funds for the conservation of ten endangered species, WWF created Non-Fungible Animals, or NFAs, a highly limited number of crypto artworks. Learn more in our film.
Our NFAs are NFTs. To buy them, you generally need a crypto wallet. Creating such a wallet is quick and easy. Since our NFAs are limited editions, they can sell out quickly, so you better create a wallet now to get one of the artworks on time.
All proceeds from the campaign will be used to save ten acutely endangered species. Whether it is for the preservation of their habitat, the creation of new protected areas or for the fight against poaching and overfishing.
Ethereum, formerly Proof of Work, is now considered a “green” blockchain since it's recent transition to a more energy efficient PoS architecture. The Ethereum ecosystem is optimized for environmentally friendly NFTs and its energy consumption is constantly being improved. Environmental protection is of course also our top priority when it comes to NFTs.
What are NFTs? NFT stands for “Non-Fungible Token”. In economics, a fungible (replaceable) asset is something whose value can be exchanged, such as money. In the case of money, you can exchange a €10 bill for ten €1 coins, and the value remains the same.
However, if something is not replaceable because it is unique, it is "non-fungible." Many works of art, such as paintings, are unique. You can take a photo of the painting or buy a copy, but there will always be only the one original.
In the digital world, these unique assets are called NFTs. They can be bought and sold like any other object, but they are not tangible. However, since digital files can be duplicated endlessly quite easily, there are digital tokens (certificates) that function as ownership certificates for virtual assets. NFTs thus remain unique and forgery-proof.
What are NFAs? NFA stands for "Non-Fungible Animals". Just like NFTs, NFAs are limited because their species only exist in limited numbers. The term NFA was developed as part of this WWF campaign. The sale of NFAs is intended to help protect endangered species. The proceeds of this campaign will be allocated to the respective project offices, so that they can continue the work on the ground and preserve species conservation. From each resale on the part of a (also later) purchaser of the NFA (secondary sale / revenue sharing), we as WWF receive 10% of the net purchase price automatically by transferring the corresponding amount of cryptocurrency into our NFA wallet or another wallet kept in our name.
