With the launch of the Nandi NFT Marketplace, the African Digital Art Network (ADA), an award-winning digital platform and archive (which also happens to contain the world's largest digital collection of African art), announces its debut into the metaverse. Nandi's creator Jepchumba and her large team of thought leaders, investors, and executives have accomplished a great deal on this historic occasion.

Nandi was founded to foster an environment that allows Black creators to flourish in the web3. Nandi will also unveil the Nandi Cowry Community, a collection of 10,000 Nandi Cowry NFTs, each representing a unique digital collectible, that will live on the carbon-negative Celo blockchain.

"The initial enthusiasm and buzz surrounding our game-changing launch are energizing. "At ADA, we've been building a community for more than a decade with the goal of offering artists across the continent and the African Diaspora a voice and an opportunity to develop livelihoods through their work," says Jepchumba, Nandi's Co-Founder and CEO.

"Africans have a long history of creativity and technology." The introduction of NFTs, the metaverse, and web3 have created a fantastic opportunity to create riches through art in a democratic manner. At ADA, it is our mission and intention to ensure that the Black community is given the opportunity to participate in this historical moment. We are confident that the Nandi NFT Marketplace and our Nandi Cowry Community will enable this." Jepchumba kept going.

R!OT Sindiso Nyoni, a Johannesburg-based artist who designed South Africa's Mandela Centenary coin, created the Nandi Cowry NFT. The Nandi Cowry Community NFT is a membership card that offers holders access to exclusive benefits, content, voting privileges on emerging creative fellowship grants, community curation of top digital art, and curated exhibitions on the Nandi NFT Marketplace. These benefits will be combined into member-only bonuses obtained through platform participation.
