INTRODUCTION
UNICEF’s Giga is seeking a company to help us engage with the crowd and local communities in Giga countries by building the Giga NFT 2.0 collection. Giga NFT 2 will gather information about schools, creating a distributed database of school data, engaging the public in the cause of connecting schools to the internet and building a community around the initiative. Giga is looking for a skilled and creative institution to help us with the creation of a Giga NFT 2.0 collection.
Earlier in 2022, Giga launched its genesis collection, the Patchwork Kingdoms of 1000 NFTs with the purpose of fundraising. With the purpose of community building, the goal of the Giga NFT 2.0 collection is to make available for minting an NFT for every single school in the world. So far, Giga has mapped over 2,000,000 schools that could be minted, which will occur in batches. Starting with 50,000 schools. Our goal is to create the world’s largest and most comprehensive distributed database of school data in NFT form, in which this data is owned by the schools themselves and curated by the community surrounding them.
PURPOSE AND MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE RFPS
Giga is seeking to obtain the following services from a vendor with extensive NFT, smart contract, design and communications experience:
