Chevrolet will be auctioning the Corvette NFT, a one-of-one 2023 Corvette Z06-inspired non-fungible token. The NFT is also paired with a custom-painted, real-life 2023 Corvette Z06 color-matched to the artwork.
“Corvette is a halo at Chevrolet. It’s the pinnacle of performance and staying cutting-edge means getting into new territories as a bit of a pioneer. This is our company’s first NFT. We see ‘Own the Color’ as an important stepping stone for Chevrolet into future digital initiatives for our customers,” said Chevrolet Marketing Vice President Steve Majoros.
The Corvette NFT features the work of digital artist xsullo.
“I’ve been wanting to combine my digital art with the physical world, so it's been a great opportunity to work with Chevrolet to bridge these two worlds. The Corvette Z06 is an ambitious car that I totally vibe with. I’m drawn to how technology can make us feel, and I can tell the designers of Corvette Z06 draw from similar inspiration” xsullo said.
Proceeds of the auction will benefit DonorsChoose, an organization whose mission is to make it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need and move us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.
DonorsChoose and Chevrolet have a history of collaborating on projects that further General Motors’ commitment to STEM education for all. This auction taps the ability for DonorsChoose to collect cryptocurrency donations, highlighting the many ways people can help teachers make an impact on their students.
“GM is empowering STEM teachers through one of the most innovative ways our educators have received funding for their DonorsChoose projects. This partnership shows just how possible it is for the digital and traditional sectors to engage in a way that benefits students’ education in public schools across the country,” said DonorsChoose CEO Alix Guerrier.
The auction will be live to eligible bidders worldwide from June 20 to 24, and those interested may only place bids in Ethereum.
