"We see the lines of what NFTs are beginning to blur. Digital and physical worlds are intertwined now. NFTs aren't just profile pictures. They are becoming the value of what you create around them. It is time for us to push the space to think more about what NFTs represent," the team wrote, going on to note that DeGenData's parent company operatesanother data-focused projectfocused on crypto options.

"Our team feels strongly that we can be pioneers in crypto options analytics and pioneers in DeFi crypto options, for that reason we decided to sell DGD and using the proceeds to help build Genesis Volatility to its full potential, especially as we dig deeper into the DeFi world," they said.

TO THE SEA & TO THE MOON
The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
