Andre Crespi, 1-Ocean and Electroneum NFTs dropped
Brands, artists and blockchain builders have joined forces to launch a Web3 project with real-world impact: a new NFT collection by Italian contemporary artist Andrea Crespi, in partnership with One Ocean Foundation and the Electroneum blockchain.
Art, the ocean and Web3 in one piece
The collection takes Crespi’s reinterpretation of the classical sculpture The Three Graces and transforms it into a flowing, wave-like digital matrix. That master artwork is then divided into thousands of NFT “fragments” – each collector holds one drop of a much larger ocean. Viewed together, the pieces resolve into the full sculpture, blending optical illusion, motion and the feeling of water.
This isn’t a speculation-first drop. It’s conceived as a poetic way for collectors to participate in something bigger: every NFT is both contemporary art and a commitment to ocean health.
100% of funds to the Blue Forest
All primary sale proceeds go directly to One Ocean Foundation’s flagship Blue Forest project – a large-scale restoration of Posidonia oceanica seagrass in the Mediterranean. Often called an “underwater forest”, Posidonia:
- Provides habitat for hundreds of marine species
- Helps protect coasts from erosion
- Can absorb up to four times more CO2 than an equivalent area of rainforest
In other words, this is an NFT collection where 100% of the mint is routed to a concrete environmental initiative, not to a project treasury or private wallet.
Why Electroneum was chosen
For an environmental foundation, the choice of blockchain matters. Electroneum’s EVM-compatible layer 1 uses a small validator set run by NGOs and foundations, keeping energy usage extremely low while maintaining security and five-second finality.
The result is a highly sustainable, low-fee blockchain that aligns with One Ocean’s mission – and provides on-chain transparency for where funds flow. It’s a practical showcase that blockchain can be part of the climate solution, not the problem.
How to collect a piece of the ocean
The collection is live now via One Ocean’s official campaign page and the Rarible marketplace. For around the cost of a dinner out, collectors can:
- Own a fragment of an Andrea Crespi artwork
- Directly fund Mediterranean seagrass restoration
- Help demonstrate how art, sustainability and Web3 can work together
Drop by drop, fragment by fragment, this collaboration shows how NFTs can move beyond hype – turning digital ownership into real-world ocean impact.
