The entertainment-focused NFT platform will plant one tree for every dollar spent on first-of-its-kind auction in partnership with Aspiration.
Los Angeles, April 9, 2021 — Curio, the premier NFT platform for premium entertainment brands and musical artists, announced today it is launching an NFT auction of all the first editions of the officially licensed digital collectibles from American Gods: Lakeside Collection. Produced by Fremantle, the American Gods TV series, is a fantasy drama series based on Neil Gaiman's award-winning 2001 novel of the same name.
In partnership with socially conscious financial services company Aspiration, Curio will plant a tree for every dollar spent on the auction, reaffirming its commitment to combat climate change and offset the environmental impact of its operations.
The auction includes ten first edition NFTs: The seven primary characters from season three of American Gods, plus the first editions of the three bonus NFTs that were offered as incentives for collectors.
