#16 Hugo McDonaugh, Cryptograph - NFTs with purpose

This is an exciting episode is because we’ve got an exclusive first look at a project that’s been in stealth mode for the last 2 and a half years.

Cryptographs are one-off creations, made by icons and artists that are immutable, and generate ongoing revenue for charity.

Immutable in this case mean that they’ve bought a new kind of immutability to ERC 721s in that the tokens are unburnable.

There is so much great stuff we cover here, we hope you enjoy the conversation.
