All unique, only one of each, varying in style and personality; whether paying tribute to an item, icon, cultural motif or anything that creates a distinctive persona for each Panther. Each character is an artistic contribution to the theme, trait, or persona it embodies, hence why our project’s name is inspired by the definition of alter ego, an alternative self or personality. PantherEGOs are 44
44 exclusive collectible 3D sculpted characters backed by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Our PantherEGO project intends to donate 15% of all profit to an organization dedicated to performing cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries for individuals in underprivileged conditions, the organization name is Operation Smile. The PantherEGO artist, Eigleer Nunes had his first son in 2021 who was born with cleft lip; Eig chose this organization to show his appreciation for the circumstances, he lives in in North America where surgery for his son’s lip was so readily available and easily accessible, and acknowledge that although that is not always the case for everyone born with similar conditions, we can still find ways to help out. We live in a world filled with prejudice and exclusivities, and we believe in being a part of the solution. We would be honored to be able to see more people smile without shame thanks to the effort we have and continue to put into this project.
