NFTs have now become a common lexicon in the world of art, digital collectibles, and music, as popularised by the sale of Beeple’s work of art “Everydays: the First 5000 Days” and Kings of Leon’s ‘When You See Yourself’. But the uses of NFTs extend far beyond the singular, one-dimensional uses, and can encompass so many other modes far more interesting, rare, and unexpected. The world is everybody’s oyster as far as NFTs go, and we’re only beginning to scratch the surface. Read on as we delve into Mintable’s vault to give you a look at some unique, rare, and interesting items, art, or otherwise that have been minted as NFTs, might it inspire you to create your very own.

A Fibonacci patterned mandala designed to improve your creative writing mind

Some may have wondered what a sequence like that would look like made into an NFT. Well, this NFT made by artist dhyano is a digital moving image created using a series of colors and formulated with the Fibonacci code. The artist had used this unique set of patterns to design a visual mantra; that according to them, improves your cognitive skills in creative writing. Definitely an interesting one as the artist suggests “Watching this mantra for few minutes with a soft glance is the equivalent of drinking a cocktail based on lavender and aniseed flavors.”
