The Winklevoss NFT on Ethernity Chain is a three-card collection commemorating the twins and their role in bringing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to the masses. The drop started Saturday May 29th at 12PM ET.
Ethernity Chain and The Winklevoss Twins are donating 90 Percent of the profits from this auction to Row New York, a NYC based non profit Organization committed to expanding accessibility to rowing throughout the NYC area. Through the discipline of rowing and rigorous academic support, Row New York transforms the lives of New Yorkers, regardless of background or ability.
“We are honored to be ‘turned’ into NFTs with this collection on Ethernity Chain,” said Cameron Winklevoss. “We firmly believe that NFTs are here to stay, and being immortalized on blockchain is perhaps the most fitting way to express our support to this revolutionary movement.”
“We want to express our gratitude to Tyler and Cameron for sticking through thick and thin with Bitcoin and crypto,” added Nick Rose, Founder of Ethernity Chain. “Without their support in both the early stages of crypto and the later growth, we may not be where are right now as an industry.”
The Winklevoss NFT is the first fully authenticated from the actual Winklevoss Twins. Ethernity as part of its Authenticated NFT (aNFT) offering, tackles the widespread problem of fraud in other NFT marketplaces, which suffer from fake look-alike collections cutting into the revenues and credibility of NFT creators.

The collections are authenticated by the Ethernity team, which guarantees that a specific NFT comes from its intended creator.
