NFTs are capable of storing and accessing culture. Unfortunately, in 2022, these Ethereum smart contracts appear to be a fringe concept that most can write off under the simple idea of a JPEG.
With the advent of NFT integration on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, there is a true cultural phenomenon on the horizon. Innovator Aidan Cullen’s The Heart Project is uniquely culturally positioned to capitalize. Cullen has worked with Nike, Prada, Gucci, Converse, Complex, Vogue, A$AP Rocky, Trippie Redd, Halsey, Dominick Fike, Kenny Beats, Omar Apollo and more, to name a few.
Now, Cullen envisions a world where gifted, scrappy creators are not gatekept by traditional Hollywood barriers, but empowered by their ambition to take the road less traveled.

At this point, Aidan reached out to Stefan Meier to create the art. Meier, originally from Chicago, studied under Bernhard Wilhelm and David LaChapelle for some time before creating the iconic Heart character donned by The Heart Project.
Over the next month, the entire NFT project was designed and assembled. The team picked a mint price…
