Future Rhinos in the NFT space

Future Rhinos NFT will be a collection of 9 999 unique NFTs with their main goal to raise sustainable funding for circular rhino conservation impact.

Can Future Rhinos NFTs make a real world difference?

Community building is very important to the Future Rhinos team and we aim to collaborate with other NFT projects to maximize our reach and form strategic collaborations and partnerships.

We are also teaming up with real-world entities, like @ProjectRhinoKZN, that share the same values. Our goal is not to be a once-off project, but to build a strong team and foundation to fuel future projects in the Web3 space that will create real-world impact.

The Future Rhinos team believes that the Web 3.0 world can, and will have direct world impact.

The Mongrel Mafia

MWP have always been on the forefront of digital trends and in 2022 one of their main focus areas will be entering the crypto and NFT space.

This Mongrel project is MWP’s first NFT project and they plan to donate all funds minus their business expenses to a local animal welfare society of their choice.

2021 – The year South Africa tightens controls on Crypto

Many South Africans have found themselves victims of various scams and Ponzi schemes in the crypto world. The good news is that with tighter measures you can trade with less fear and risk.

“Authorities in South Africa appears to be paying closer attention to the cryptocurrency space in 2021 in the wake of a major Bitcoin (BTC) Ponzi scheme and increased trading activity. As a result, the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority has called for tighter controls of the crypto space following the collapse of what has been described as the biggest Ponzi scheme the country has ever seen.”
