The PoAP tokens will be minted on Unique Network, a sustainable NFT blockchain in keeping with DUNDAS’ commitment to sustainable fashion.
The design of the PoAPs is based on Peter Dundas’ creative designs, which have been worn by the likes of Beyonce, Reese Witherspoon, Olivia Wilde, and Mary J. Blige, among others.
Evangelo Bousis, Founder and Image Director of DUNDAS, said: “DUNDAS has been heavily invested in the intersection of Web3 technologies and fashion since the beginning of this movement. The support of industry leaders like Polkadot and our strategic partnerships with UME and Unique Network helps bring this all to life. PoAPs are just the beginning. We can't wait to show the world all the groundbreaking experiences we're building together."
Alexander Mitrovich, CEO Unique Network, said: “DUNDAS and UME Studio are pushing the boundaries of NFTs beyond digital collectibles, integrating them into the very definition of innovation within the fashion world. We support their mission to do so in a sustainable, user-friendly manner.”
Victoria Bousis, CEO & XR Director UME Studio, said: “As a female director in the space, I was inspired by the narrative behind Peter Dundas’ iconic designs and the DUNDAS woman: a confident, unapologetic, and resilient figure. We drew inspiration from Peter Dundas’ creative vision for the PoAP collection to foster enriching narratives and experiences for a diverse and growing community of digital fashion enthusiasts.”
Björn Wagner, CEO of Parity Technologies, a leading contributor to the Polkadot network, said: "This is the type of collaboration we love to see in the Polkadot ecosystem, utilizing Polkadot’s boundary-pushing technology to bring new, engaging experiences for people who may have never interacted with a blockchain before."
