Today’s NFT artist goes by the name Abstractment, and besides mastering abstraction, he has also conquered utility. For those that aren’t familiar with the relationship between utilities and NFTs, it is essential. Many collections and projects have been providing a different set of benefits in addition to holding the NFT. Those utilities range from additional free NFTs (called airdrops), memberships, or even financial incentives.

Abstractment is one of the earlier innovators in that regard as the owners of his Clew collection - sometimes called Clew crew - received NFTs from his second collection (#symmetriClew) for free. You had to own at least five Clews for that.

How did you discover NFTs?

Same as most, I’m guessing… crypto punks. It was a few years ago and I didn’t think much of it, but that’s when I first discovered NFTs. Then when prices went crazy early last year I started to look into it more. I then heard about art blocks, started to explore that sector more, and eventually found gen_dot_art. Gen_dot_art really helped educate me on this space, and that’s when I found fxhash.
