Pioneering in NFTs for Good | A donation-focused collection to help flood-affected Aussies: The Arcadians Founders Katlyn Judd and Luke Bishara
When Australia was hit with damaging floods earlier this year, Katlyn Judd and Luke Bishara decided to reorient the focus of their entire NFT project in order to create a donation-focused initiative to raise funds to help flood-affected Australians.
Pioneering in the ‘NFTs for good’ space, the Arcadians project is a 10,000 strong army of gorgeous digital warriors which raises funds and donations to help those in need.
