ConsenSys to Launch 'Sustainable' NFTs Celebrating the Ethereum Merge

“The merge is cause for celebration,” ConsenSys announced in the beginning of September.

And to kick off the festivities, the blockchain firm will release “one of the first sustainable NFT drops on the Ethereum mainnet” called Regenesis.

Inspired by the merge, Ethereum’s transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), Regenesis will include various editions of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) of “elaborately detailed worlds that embody the benefits of the Merge: sustainability, security, and scalability.”

ConsenSys partnered with artist Chris Skinner and animation firm Keithcity Group to design the collection.

The collection’s primary theme, sustainability, will showcase Ethereum’s “ambitious re-architecture” of the Web3 world as well as its purported “2000x” improved efficiency.

The transition into PoS is estimated to reduce energy consumption by 99.95% since the PoW "consensus on Ethereum currently consumes the energy equivalent of a medium-sized country,” according to a report from the Ethereum Foundation last May.

The limited-edition NFTs will be free to mint on the day of the merge, which has been slated for some time between September 10 and 16. The NFTs will be available from 9:00 am EST.

“ConsenSys invites anyone curious about our ecosystem to try Web3-native tools like MetaMask to claim a piece of Ethereum history,” the post reads.
