NFTb and Watsi join forces to enable artists to help fund healthcare through the sale of NFTs

Singapore, 1 June 2021NFTb, the leading premium NFT Marketplace built for speed and affordability, today announced its collaboration with Watsi to empower artists to help make healthcare accessible to everyone through the sale of their NFTs via the platform’s advanced income share feature.

NFTs have drawn the attention of both artists and creators from all over the world. In many countries around the world, NFTs are offering an unprecedented source of income for artists during a global pandemic. NFTs are sold through NFT marketplaces like NFTb, which offers artists access to buyers and collectors globally.

Watsi is a global nonprofit that lets anyone donate as little as $5 to directly fund high-impact surgical care for patients around the world. 100% of donated funds directly support patients who need life-changing surgery. To date, Watsi has reached more than 22,000 patients across 26 countries. Watsi was the first nonprofit backed by the startup accelerator Y Combinator and was one of the earliest adopters in the charitable world to accept cryptocurrency donations.

The partnership with Watsi builds on NFTb’s push to enable artists to have greater control over their assets and directly support causes that they care about.

“Watsi is thrilled to be teaming up with artists and NFTb to help fund critical healthcare for people in need around the world. Support from the crypto community over the years has fueled Watsi’s growth and ability to innovate, and we can’t wait to do more together for our patients through this exciting new partnership,” said Mackinnon Engen, Executive Director of Watsi.

Just as Watsi is working to make healthcare accessible to people everywhere, NFTb is committed to building a platform that is accessible to users from all over the world. In Q2 2021, the platform is set to engage artists from diverse backgrounds by adding multi-language support.

How it Works

With NFTb, artists can donate a portion of proceeds towards a social cause of their choosing. The platform offers a built-in advanced income share feature in the checkout process. A seller may opt to share some of the income from the sale of a NFT to donate to whitelisted charities like Watsi.

Once the NFT is sold, funds will be automatically distributed within a sellers wallet and sent to Watsi’s wallet.
