The first-ever Lamborghini NFTs have been created and they share not only unique works of digital art but also chunks of carbon fiber that have gone to space. In 2019, Lamborghini collaborated on a project to send five pieces of carbon fiber to the International Space Station for scientific experiments and these pieces have since returned. The Lamborghini Space Keys incorporate the carbon fiber pieces, along with QR codes, so that their owners can access exclusive works of digital art—it's so exclusive that the brand has not even revealed the artist behind the works.
Increasingly, brands are getting into the creation of non-fungible tokens by pairing one-of-a-kind works of art or experiences with priceless physical items.
