As India faces a relentless second wave where the battle to secure oxygen and treatment is a major challenge, help has come pouring in from all quarters. While the Government of India is yet to validate and support the viability of cryptocurrencies, there’s no denying that they’re impacting our healthcare system. So much so that artists across the country are finding ways to contribute, by creating one-of-a-kind pieces to be sold as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), on the Ethereum Blockchain, with all proceeds to be given to Crypto Relief India, a community-run fund initiated by the founder of blockchain firm Polygon, Sandeep Nailwal. Earlier this month, a group of artists from Cryptoart India Collective, an informal community of artists from different parts of the country, came together to create two pieces of unique artwork  — a single-edition NFT and a 100-edition one. Both pieces were presented in VR galleries and put up for bidding to purchase.

The single-edition 1/1 NFT was a collaboration between 44 artists and launched on Makers Place, an Non-Fungible Tokens platform
