Each NFT egg is intrinsically linked to its physical counterpart through a QR code and unique serial identifier, creating a bridge between the tangible and the virtual. By incorporating cutting-edge generative art and Bitcoin technology, the NFTs become a captivating extension of the physical sculptures, allowing owners to delve into a world where art and technology seamlessly intertwine.


The exclusivity of this collaboration shines through in every detail.
