That idea snowballed into The JOMO Effect, a mental health NFT campaign featuring 40 artists in the space, including Allison Dayka, Ashira Art, Brian Fanzo, Brittany Pierre, Gabe Weis, Krista Awad, Naibo Visuals, Postwook, Sierra Nawabi, The Ascendant, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The blind mint will take place on May 10, featuring artists from across the community, and will cost minters 30-40 MATIC each. All proceeds from primary sales (apart from a three percent transaction fee from Pledge, the non-profit fundraising platform handling the initiative\u2019s logistics) will go to five internationally-based mental health charities: <a href=\"http:\/\/aakomaproject.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aakoma Project<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halfthestoryproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Half The Story<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindsfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The MINDS Foundation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/loveloudfest.com\/foundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LOVELOUD Foundation<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/afsp.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Foundation for Suicide Prevention<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><figcaption><em>When You Find It<\/em>.

TimePieces, for example, will be offering a spot at an IRL TimePieces event and Seva.Love is offering an exclusive online meditation session with Chopra and the Chopra Foundation team. Holders of varying levels (five NFTs or more or those who collect the entire set from all 40 artists) will be eligible for different perks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is to continue this conversation outside of Mental Health Awareness Month in May\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>Shira Lazar<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u200b\u200b\u201dWe\u2019re excited to partner with some of the top companies and artists in support of mental health,\u201d Tiffany Huang, marketing lead at Magic Eden, said in a press release shared with nft now. \u201cIt\u2019s a topic that isn\u2019t talked about often enough in Web3, but it\u2019s really important. Magic Eden\u2019s role is to make sure we\u2019re bringing partners together to amplify their mission, and we\u2019re proud that we can help them shine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Web3 is notorious for its <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnow.com\/features\/we-need-to-talk-about-the-mental-health-crisis-in-the-nft-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">effects on mental health<\/a>, so much so that the space\u2019s biggest figures <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnow.com\/guides\/nft-experts-explain-how-to-maintain-your-mental-health-in-a-bear-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have called attention<\/a> to the need for its enthusiasts to strive for balance and perspective while engaging with it. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, the campaign serves as a healthy reminder of the need for everyone, not just those in Web3, to keep these issues at the forefront of conversations. <\/p>\n<p>FOMO, AKA fear of missing out, is a tangible and often detrimental dynamic in the NFT space that frequently leads to negative emotions and experiences as community enthusiasts feel they\u2019ve missed out on projects whose speculative value can lead to life-changing financial windfalls. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is to continue this conversation outside of Mental Health Awareness Month in May,\u201d Lazar continued. \u201cAnd our hope is to be able to continue the discussion about the intersection of digital culture and wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nftnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Joy-Beyond-Resistance_Brittany-Pierre.png\" alt=\"A digital composition of seven floating platforms in the air forming a giant stairway in the sky above the groun with three figures on the platforms at varying levels.\" class=\"wp-image-35428\" width=\"457\" height=\"812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Joy-Beyond-Resistance_Brittany-Pierre.png 700w, https:\/\/nftnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Joy-Beyond-Resistance_Brittany-Pierre-150x267.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\"\/><figcaption><em>Joy Beyond Resistance<\/em>.
