World of Women
In recent years, there has been a cultural shift towards supporting and advocating for women within STEM fields and in business ventures. As the NFT space grows in popularity and remains a primarily male-dominated industry, World of Women hopes to be apart of the NFT community, making it clear that their main objective is to empower women, encourage other women to join the NFT space, and increase diversity and inclusivity within Web3.
What is World of Women?
Similar to NFT collectibles like Cryptopunks or Bored Ape Yacht Club, World of Women is an NFT collection on the ethereum blockchain composed of ten thousand unique and diverse women that are ready to make an impact on the world. These women have combinations of multiple different attributes and traits, including multiple different skin colors, hair styles, and unique outfits and accessories. The NFTs are randomly generated digital collectibles and vary in value and exclusivity: some are common, rare, or even exceptional. Having been released in July of 2021, the collection is now sold out on the website; however, you can head over to Opensea to buy, sell, and trade these collectibles.
What are the benefits of owning a WoW?
Besides the perk of being part of the inclusive and encouraging WoW community, there are other, more personal perks of owning a World of Women collectible. Not only do you own the NFT, but you also own the IP, meaning you own the underlying artwork and can print and distribute how you please. While anyone can print a WoW NFT, each one only has an 800 x 800 resolution. However, owners of the NFT have access to a high-resolution 4k by 4k NFT to use for personal prints and projects. After every 1000 primary sales, World of Women picks 10 random owners and ships them a print of their WoW NFT. Other perks include invites to events and exclusive access to presales and raffles, but ownership of WoW NFTs also supports the community and gives back to others.
How WoW is helping the community
World of Women aims to change the gender disparity within the NFT art space and create opportunities for anyone that wants to contribute to and participate in this new area of the internet. They also want to grow the space, and will do their part by investing 15% of all primary sales into cryptoart. Beyond web3, World of Women wants to create more opportunities for women from any background to succeed in any field. To achieve this goal, they donate 2.5% of primary sales to each of three charities supporting women: She’s the First, Too Young to Wed, and Strange Cintia. These organizations give women the resources needed to succeed; supporting World of Women means supporting artists, creators, and women around the world.
