Steve Aoki x The Untamed
The collaboration between Steve Aoki and The Untamed aims to create a vault filled with blue-chip NFTs in order to support these collections and the artists behind them. Additionally, the team is looking to work on offsetting the carbon footprint of their collection by actively purchasing carbon credits linked to the vault address.
The Untamed is a popular Chinese murder mystery drama, which will soon get its very own mobile game. One of the main goals of creating this vault is to also bring The Untamed fans one step closer to the world of blockchain technology and the metaverse. According to Luffy Huang who is the Senior VP of The Untamed creators NSMG, the ultimate goal for the TV series is to become a metaverse of its own.
Another important goal for the Steve Aoki x The Untamed vault is to support budding artists through collaborations. For the moment, there have not been any collab announcements. However, The Untamed has a huge following, especially in Asia, which can be beneficial for rising NFT creators.
