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.
