Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, will be part of the cast of Stoner Cats, the TV show related to blockchain and NFTs, produced by actress Mila Kunis.

According to reports, the cast of this series is entirely Hollywood, with famous names such as Jane Fonda, Chris Rock and Ashton Kutcher. The addition of Buterin to this cast seems to complete the mission of the animated web series, which aims to strengthen the presence of the crypto world.

Specifically, the Ethereum founder will voice the taxidermy cat named Catsington.

But the most surprising thing is that in order to watch the first five-minute episode, viewers must purchase an NFT or Non-Fungible Token. Basically, these NFTs are the digital representation of artwork related to the show’s characters.

Not only that, as soon as they are made, NFT tickets will also be available, which can unlock all episodes of Stoner Cats.

The price of each NFT is 0.35 ETH, the equivalent of almost $750 at the time of writing.

This is true crypto crowdfunding using NFTs. In this regard, Morgan Beller, a general partner at venture firm NFX and a member of the team behind “Stoner Cats” defines such funding as a direct exchange between consumers and creators, cutting out the middlemen and, in some cases, offering some creative control to the consumers themselves.

Such a very creative way to sell an NFT...have the products ready and give them access to the content only if they bought an NFT. Now, if this animated series can be making good money, I am sure this can be inspiring many others to follow the road already paved by the pioneers. Let's see if the addition of Mr. Vitalik Buterin can make this entertainment piece a big success.
