Most interesting, these NFTs are designed as a form of fundraising for node management on Xahau, a smart contracts-enabled sidechain for XRP Ledger. All proceedings from the upcoming auction will be used to run the Xahau validator and Xahau node cluster hosted by Crossmark.

Upon the conclusion of the sale, the Xahau node cluster will be added to the Crossmark wallet and opened for free usage for all XRPL and Xahau enthusiasts.

The auction kicks off today, Oct. 28, 2023, on XRP Cafe, one of the largest NFT marketplaces in the XRPL ecosystem. NFTs can be tracked via the Bithomp explorer.

As covered by U.Today previously, the Xahau sidechain is on track to mainnet launch in 2023.
