The inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, sold the code he wrote 30 years ago at Sotheby’s auction house for $5,434,500 in the form of NFT.
Berners-Lee described NFT as "the latest interesting creation in this field and the most appropriate way of ownership."
Since the network source code is open source, what all NFT buyers really have is the artistic NFT package designed by Berners-Lee.
Sotheby's launched the auction on June 23 with a minimum bid of $1,000. The proceeds from the sale will be donated to organizations supported by Berners-Lee and his wife Rosemary Leith through the World Wide Web Foundation.
