There are NFTs buried in the Arctic. We went to find out why

DISCLAIMER: The Defiant was not paid by Top Dog Studios to make this film, nor were Top Dog Studios allowed any input into editorial. They did kindly cover our travel and accommodation.

On the 17th March Top Dog Studios made history by initiating the first NFT deposit in the Arctic World Archive. Artists from all over the world committed their artwork and code to resilient silver halide film which was then placed deep in the permafrost in Mine 3, Longyearbyen. This is the story of what happened.
