PANews reported on August 15 that Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, launched the pre-sale whitelist of his first NFT collection "Airheads" on the Bitcoin Ordinals platform. The collection, called "Fat Positive", was created in collaboration with Oyl Wallet, an investment of Hayes' family office, and today officially launched the "in-wallet" whitelist registration and minting functions. This project uses balloon characters to symbolize financial success and aims to promote "embracing your financial success without shame."
Oyl Wallet also plans to launch the "Programmable Runes" specification and plans to release the "Protorunes" protocol to promote the development of protocols on Bitcoin. Hayes said that he hopes to demonstrate the potential of Bitcoin through Ordinals technology. The whitelist of this 10,000 NFT collection is only available through Oyl Wallet.
As previously reported, Bitcoin trading application Oyl completed a $3 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by venture capital firm Arca.
