A Doja Cat NFT sold for $188,000 on the OneOf NFT marketplace. The single-edition Crystal Token has brought in a higher price than the recent Jay-Z NFT sale at Sotheby’s, which only managed a ‘meagre’ $138,000.
The Doja Cat NFT sold includes two all-inclusive fly-away experiences for fans, which can be redeemed against any of her forthcoming shows.
That’s not the only reason the transaction has turned heads, though. The purchase now ranks as the highest price ever paid for a token on the Tezos blockchain. As regular readers will know, the network prides itself on its environmental credentials, something that OneOf also believes in. The marketplace, designed for the music industry, also touts its green credentials. Seemingly, this was an important point for releasing Doja Cat’s NFTs.
What is Tezos?
Tezos is a green blockchain and rapidly rising competitor to the dominant Ethereum platform. Ethereum being the mainstream blockchain for NFTs. However, increasing congestion has led to high transaction fees and slow settling times make alternative look more desirable. Comparatively, Tezos offers a far more efficient solution which, crucially, has a far lower environmental impact. Aware of this, The Doja Cat NFTs use the OneOf Marketplace, and therefore the Tezos Blockchain.
