IMTL’s LegendNFTs.io launches alongside top industry endeavors including Fox Network staking its new NFT business unit, Blockchain Creative Labs, with a $100 million creative fund; and Dapper Labs, the company behind NBA Top Shot, raising $305 million with a valuation of $2.6 billion, and several high-profile investors led by Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant.  As well, Major League Baseball and Fanatics-owned Candy Digital release of an NFT honoring the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2020 World Series championship, for example. 

IMTL is currently in discussions with several ideal NFT partnership opportunities which will have IMTL earning a royalty from primary sales of assets on the LegendNFTs Marketplace and has already finalized deals with rapper Jim Jones and Toronto based celebrity photographer Gabriel Di Sante to name a few.
