“This piece is a litmus test for whether the marketplaces or collectors really cared when they paid lip service on emissions. The answer is a resounding ‘no.’”
– American media artist
Kyle McDonald, reflecting on his futile Ethereum emissions mitigation artwork,
Amends (2022), on the one-year anniversary of the
Ethereum Merge. Launched in 2022 to offset the carbon footprint of major NFT platforms, the piece is now “a monument to inaction on behalf of Foundation, OpenSea, and Rarible.”
