Minted Projects
World of Women (84%) – PFP
Website – Twitter – OpenSea
World of Women (WoW) is one of the first women-centered NFT projects. It celebrates representation, inclusivity, and equal opportunity. Since the crypto space is quite male-dominated, the WoW NFT project is a refreshing take on the common profile picture narrative. These NFTs are colorful artworks representing a diverse collection of powerful, influential women. The project has committed to giving back, as 15% of its primary sales were reinvested in crypto art and 7.5% of the primary sales were donated to three different women-focused charities.
