“Being able to put an Asia-born NFT project on the world map and help shine a light on mental wellness for youth is the perfect way to kick off our long-term partnership with HUGO."

Clement Chia, Founder of Imaginary Ones

With the success of a major collaboration, Imaginary Ones highlighted the real-world use cases of NFTs. Not only did they raise funds, the project also decisively brought increased awareness to a major issue - mental health.

As the project looks towards other collaborations with both Web2.0 and Web3.0 brands, both Imaginary Ones and NFTs have cemented themselves as a mainstay in the world of crypto, and shown that they will be a major driving factor for mass adoption.
