Caitlyn Jenner Introduces Olympic Gold Medal Inspired Token on Base
Caitlyn Jenner is launching an Olympic gold medal-inspired token on an Ethereum layer-2 Base.
According to a social media post by Jenner, the token will be available starting August 8 with no starting price and will be valued by the market. The MEDAL token represents a fractional share of her Olympic medal’s value and will integrate with existing JENNER coin holders.
Although the non-fungible token (NFT) is inspired by the gold medal, owning MEDAL does not grant any rights to the physical medal itself, which remains in Jenner’s possession.
“Well, I have been in this space for almost a year now, and I’m constantly looking at new ways that I can help improve this space,” said Jenner. “And here we have a real-world asset that is part of the Olympics and part of history.”
On her social media, Jenner stated that this project would deploy the ERC-721 NFT contract to showcase the token’s uniqueness and then allow for the fractionalization of the 100,000,000 ERC-20 tokens.
This ERC-721 maps to the provable metadata of the RWA (Real World Asset) including a legally binding contract signed by Caitlyn Jenner-custodian- (stored on IPFS) showing ownership of the real Olympic Gold Medal.
