The announcement did not include any other details, but the senator’s Twitter account has already shared the news.

Ethernity Chain touts itself as a digital platform that produces “limited edition, licensed and authenticated NFTs.” It aims to be the biggest authenticated NFT library that rewards creators and raises funds for charitable causes. Ethernity Chain also has a coin called ERN that allows its token holders to farm rare “A-NFTs”, stake, farm and vote on proposals that could amend how the Ethernity Chain ecosystem is being governed.
