LOS ANGELES -- As fans look to find ways to remember Kobe Bryant this week -- with the late Lakers star's birthday Monday followed by the date on the calendar that commemorates his uniforms Tuesday, 8/24 -- a blockchain company has found another way to honor Mamba forever.
Cryptograph, a digital collectibles enterprise, is releasing a series of eight never-before-seen photographs of Bryant as non-fungible tokens, an increasingly popular investment option for collectors seeking unique digital properties.
"NFTs can eternalize and immortalize," said Tommy Alastra, the co-founder of Cryptograph.
They can also support charitable causes. All proceeds of the sales from the "KOBE" collection of NFTs will go to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, according to Alastra.
