‘The Great Purge’ NFT initiative by Slimesunday Aimed at Reviving the Early NFT Days

The NFT realm used to be a space of brilliant ideas, impressive contemporary art, and dedicated community. Both creators and collectors appreciated it for integrity, creativity, and authenticity. However, the landscape has changed over time. From hasty trades to quick turnovers, scam projects, and a detachment from the original artistic value, much attention has been diverted from the purity and beauty of the non-fungible universe. NFTs became mainstream and later transformed into status symbols and investment vehicles.

NFT artist Slimesunday is on a mission to revive the early NFT days and rekindle the original spirit of creativity. With his ‘The Great Purge’ NFT project, the artist invites all collectors to participate in a massive cleansing of the NFT realm.

This process involves burning a certain number of NFTs from failed and scam projects in exchange for one of Slimesunday's NFTs, which is promised to hold more meaningful value.

Let's make the NFT space great again! Join the movement!
