Holy Rock NFT project has combined the innovative digital possibilities of web3 with Jewish faith, culture, and spirit through its collection of 3D illustrated Western Wall Stones. Each member of the community and each NFT holder gains access to their own unique section of stone that tells a cultural history. Upon the launch of their project earlier this year, they sold out of their nearly 2,000 NFTs in under four hours, before being disrupted by the Israeli Government.
Pressure from a small group of religious leaders called for the project to be halted, accusing Holy Rock of scanning the Western Wall to obtain their imagery to sell. Misunderstanding the project, this group has cost the founders of Holy Rock to potentially lose millions of dollars from their sale, and the founders will be in court in April of this year fighting their case against the government to prove that they did not scan the Western Wall.
As entrepreneurs in the field of digital technology, they created 3D illustrations depicting the stones on a mission to share and protect the vision of Jewish culture through the opportunities presented within the metaverse. “Our community of holders aims to hold events surrounding ideas of Jewish spirit and faith, while also discussing business opportunities. We aim to develop a faithful and community-oriented group built on economic opportunity,” says Holy Rock NFT co-founder, Avi Cohen.
Led by a partnership of knowledgeable digital artists, blockchain experts, and marketing specialists, Holy Rock NFT will fight against the claims posed by the government in pursuit of building their unique team, innovative project, and worldwide community.
