SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NiftyKit, a SaaS platform for artists to mint, list, and sell NFTs has partnered with Aerial to track, manage, and offset carbon emissions produced by the NFTs minted on the NiftyKit platform.

This partnership comes shortly after NiftyKit launched their eco-friendly smart contracts and NFT minting option, Polygon (formerly Matic Network) which is available for members of the platform.

Using Aerial, NiftyKit is able to calculate and offset any NFTs created on the Ethereum blockchain.

"What we love about Aerial is how easy it is for us to calculate, track, and offset the
carbon footprint of NFTs minted on our platform so that we can pay for the offset
during the time of creation. Partnering with Aerial to offer this standard for all
Ethereum NFTs was a no-brainer," said Dan Carr, CEO and co-founder of NiftyKit.

Aerial works with verified environmental efforts and carbon removal projects in North America to offset emissions.

Aerial's NFT offset tool has been utilized by CNBC News, Ellen DeGeneres, ASICS, The Jerry Garcia Foundation, renowned street artist Mr. Brainwash, and world-famous DJ, Calvin Harris, among others.

In addition to NFT offsets, Aerial has a crypto offset tool and an iOS app, which allows users to manage travel emissions.
