How our NFT auction went
We raised around $420,000 for charity
“DOWN THE rabbit hole”, were the words on our cover on decentralised finance in September. To illustrate it Justin Metz, a visual artist, looked to the first edition of “Alice in Wonderland” for inspiration. On 25th October we put a non-fungible token (NFT) of that cover up for sale. A little over a day later, after a late flurry of bids, it sold for 99.9 ether (around $420,000).
