Art of Shell NFT Release

A collection of unique art charting the Shell Protocol journey

The Shell v2 final testnet update is live. Proteus and the Ocean are complete. After months of building and experimenting, the team is now putting the final touches on what will become the next generation of DeFi. Very soon, the guarded launch will begin.

In our last update, we promised two special community events to mark the launch of Shell v2. The first one is here today, and it's one that was born (like the toucans) from community input. For months, Shell users have requested a way to own the iconic Shell World artwork in our announcements and blog posts. As of now, you can.

For the next two weeks, we will be auctioning off thirteen one-of-one original Shell World illustrations as Arbitrum NFTs. Each of these pieces was hand-drawn to mark a moment in the history of Shell World, and there will only ever be one of each piece officially on-chain.

To bid on a piece, you can visit the collection page here or click on a title below to be taken to its Stratos page. Highest offers will be tracked on Stratos, and at the end of two weeks (on September 2nd) we will accept the highest bid for each piece of art.

Owners of an Art of Shell NFT will receive the 'Collector' role in the Shell Discord, and early/exclusive access to future Shell Protocol merchandise/swag and in-person events. In addition, ten percent of all proceeds from the initial sales will be donated to Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, a charity specializing in ocean cleanup of sensitive Pacific ecosystems.

Holding an Art of Shell NFT is a great way to support the protocol and own a piece of history as we enter a new, exciting breakout stage. Browse the collection now and place your bids!
