Mercedes-Benz has partnered with Art2People to create an exclusive Mercedes-Benz NFT collection based on its G-Class vehicle line.
It has been reported that five nonfungible tokens (NFT) artists were commissioned to create various G-Class-inspired works in a range of media, resulting in unique designs for each artwork.
However, the artists involved come from diverse areas, such as music, fashion, graphic design, architecture, creative marketing, luxury design, and real estate. The artists include Charlotte Taylor, Anthony Authie, Roger Kilimanjaro, Baugasm, and Germany-based Antoni Tudisco. Nifty Gateway and Mercedes will launch the NFTs on Sunday.
The report said that Mercedes is not the first major brand to be involved with NFTs. In June 2021, McLaren unveiled its intention to utilize NFTs to create virtual versions of its legendary F1 automobiles.
In July 2021, Coca-Cola launched a unique NFT initiative to raise money for Special Olympics International.
Thus, this is not the first time Mercedes has been involved with blockchain technology. The car manufacturer teamed up with blockchain startup Circulor to launch a trial to ensure that cobalt emissions are tracked throughout the supply chain.
