This 1 of 1 NFT, unlike anything seen by the art world before, will include video and photos of TW skillfully manipulating paintbrushes with his trunk under the direction of his mahout elephant keeper while creating a one-of-a-kind Tree of Life painting. The NFT will also provide additional value-added content including outtakes of TW painting, a day-in-the-life of TW interacting with other elephants in his habitat and a digitally verifiable certificate of authenticity of the painting (QR Code).

“We are thrilled to present to collectors and investors alike the first tokenized painting made by the most talented and artistic elephant in the world,” said Dwain Schenck, co-head of BitTrunks. “This marks a first in the NFT space for the world’s largest land mammal to create a non-fungible token whose qualities rivals that of a human artist. This is also a historically-unique investment opportunity where a portion of the sales proceeds will help support the elephant park where TW lives alongside more than 80 other elephants, as well as the lifesaving medical clinic run by the park.”

Reuters recently reported that sales volumes of NFTs surged to $10.7 billion in the third quarter of 2021, up more than eightfold from the previous quarter, according to data from market tracker DappRadar.
