A Permanent Art Collection (PAC)
The Permanent Art Collection (PAC) will take the form of a digital art gallery and will be launched on a Tezos collection website this summer.
“The Tezos Foundation Permanent Collection will support and celebrate a new generation of artists that have chosen a smart contract-enabled path to be their true selves.
