On OpenSea, the original Boss Beauties NFT collection of 10,000 assets now has a floor price, or minimum “Buy Now” price of 2.3 Ethereum, roughly $7,000 per piece. The project, which debuted in September, now ranks 123rd on OpenSea’s list of the best NFT collections of all time, based on secondary volume trading sales.
NFTs are one-of-a-kind tokens that exist on a blockchain such as Ethereum or Solana and represent the token holder’s ownership of a digital or physical asset. Last year, the United Nations funded a competition called DigitalArt4Climate, in which artists were encouraged to create various climate change-themed NFTs, with the top artworks shown during the Climate Change Conference in Scotland.

So, while the Role Models will not be the first NFTs presented by the UN, they will be the first female-focused collection to be featured, and will almost certainly provide significant attention for works by a female artist. According to a November analysis from ArtTactic, an art market analytics organization, female artists received just 5% of all NFT sales from February 2020 to November 2021, and women make up 16% of all NFT artists.
