The company responsible for the world’s most famous carbonated drink has just announced that they are launching a new generative NFT collection.
Coca-Cola will be partnering with Polygon in order to create a new generative NFT collection in celebration of world Friendship day. This collection will only be available for fans who were a part of Coca-Cola’s former NFT endeavors.
This new NFT collection will have a unique feature where users will only be able to actually the artwork after they share it with a friend.
This new set of collectible designs will be inspired by the traditional bubbles that Coca-Cola’s carbonated beverages have. In July 30, this new NFT collection was distributed among the digital wallets of the owners of Coca-Cola’s previous NFT collections.
Coca-Cola’s chief strategist Pratik Thakar explained the NFT initiative:
“International Friendship Day — which launched our metaverse journey in 2021 — is the perfect milestone opportunity to thank and celebrate the people who have joined us,” said Pratik Thakar, Head of Global Creative Strategy, Coca-Cola. “We hope to strengthen and expand our ‘Real Magic’ community by building connections through a variety of physical and virtual Coca-Cola experiences.”

“We will continue to learn in this fast-moving space through limited-edition collectible launches tied to key cultural moments,” Thakar stated, “with a focus on building our virtual ecosystem by surprising and delighting fans.”
