THE GENESIS NFT COLLECTION
Overview
The Genesis NFT collection consists of only 20,000 exclusive premium assets. This collection was minted by dedicated early adopters whose support enabled the creation of our studio. As such, Genesis NFT holders are honored as VIPs within the Ather Collective’s ecosystem for their critical early contributions.
