The Prayer Flag Bhutan

The Prayer Flag Project is an initiative spearheaded by the META Foundation, in collaboration with VAST Bhutan and the Rubin Museum of Art, that combines digital technology with traditional Bhutanese culture. The project consists of a collection of 1080 unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on Bhutanese prayer flags, designed by leading Bhutanese artist Asha Kama. Each NFT embodies a prayer flag's symbolic purpose of spreading peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom across the universe. The project takes advantage of digital technology by using Polygon's proof-of-stake network to mint these virtual flags, which results in significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to other networks.

The Prayer Flag Project has four main objectives:

To spread prayers and good wishes across the universe.
To support VAST Bhutan, a contemporary art collective, by contributing to their educational programs, which include teaching students about web3 technologies.
To assist in cleaning the mountains surr
