Collection Corner

We included the Matrix NFT collection in the collection corner of this issue.

The collection, which is an NFT avatar collection produced by Warner Bros and belonging to the Matrix movie series, consists of 100,000 pieces. The collection went on sale as a separate page on the Nifty Gateway platform and has been completely sold out.

NFT holders are presented with two options like in the first movie. NFT stays in the Matrix and remains the same if Blue Pill is selected, however NFT is transformed into a resistance fighter when Red Pill is selected.

In the collection, avatars were created with different clothes, items, hair and face shapes. Both genders, male and female, are included. You can reach the collection website here.
