The new initiative designed to connect the online and offline art worlds will involve building virtual 3D models of spray-painted figures. Each will be accompanied by a geotag to connect ownership of art to the NFT.<\/p>\n<p>Auction winners will also receive a metal card denoting a claim to each Fat Monster NFT. From there, the NFTs can be traded, and if the physical art installation is ever removed or erased, the NFTs become unique \u201cGhost Monsters.\u201d On April 13th, the first batch of five existing Fat Monsters will be minted and auctioned on Rarible\u2019s blockchain. Following this initial auction, four more sets of yet unpainted monsters will be minted in the coming months.<\/p>\n<h2>The First-Ever Meme to Join Ethernity Platform Drop<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/meme.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/meme-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/meme-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/meme.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-451703\" title=\"NFT Roundup: A Closer Look at Key Developments Over the Last Week\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/meme.png\" alt=\"NFT Roundup: A Closer Look at Key Developments Over the Last Week\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just mere days away from <a href=\"https:\/\/ethernity.io\/\">Ethernity Chain\u2019s<\/a> official launch on April 12th, the platform has announced that it\u2019ll be auctioning Jason Heuser\u2019s first-ever meme that was originally designed in 2012.
