Setting Hong Kong city as the backdrop
​
Hong Kong is emerging as the NFT hub of the digital age. From NFTs, Metaverse to crypto, the city continues to pave the way for digital innovation. Hong Kong skyline echos scenes from early futuristic film and anime like 'Blade Runner' and 'Ghost in the shell'.

Conceptualizing the Crypto Gods NFTs
​
The concept behind the modern pantheon of crypto mythology originates from the belief that humanity is still in its early days of digital assets adoption. Each crypto god is inspired by real-life figure, juxtaposing their narrative with accomplished exploits of their own.
