Damien Hirst giveaway
Renowned British NFT artist Damien Hirst has airdropped 10,000 NFTs to those who had previously purchased artwork from his “The Currency” collection.
The giveaway is from the new NFT collection “Great Expectations” which is a series that contains 10,000 images based on his Certified Lover Boy artwork.
The collection is based on the artwork for the cover of “Certified Lover Boy”, the sixth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. On Nov. 26, Hirst commented:
“I tried to create an image that sums up the powerful hope filled love, humor & daring truth in the music of Drake for his album cover and now my hope is that with this free gift you can all share and feel the excitement I feel about NFTS and the digital world.”
3D NFTs on ICP
Dfinity’s Internet Computer Network (ICP) is launching NFT Studio, a 3D and interactive NFT platform enabling creators to design, mint, and stake regular and interactive 3D NFTs.
The platform includes a 3D voxel engine and a pixel engine which allows users to create 3D models that can be converted into NFTs and used in video games.
Lukas Merville, founder and team lead at NFT Studio, said that 3D creators are often limited on networks such as Ethereum or Solana which cannot handle large files sizes, before adding “3D NFTs sounded like fiction — well beyond the current state of blockchain technology. But we have made them possible on-chain thanks to the Internet Computer.”
There are a number of NFT collections already running on the ICP such as ICPunks, ICPuppies, and ICKitties.
