By MCS Staff

Remy Long and Tim Martin were born and raised in Montgomery County. The brother-in law duo created a Web 3.0 and NFT company called “Pandavinci Labs”. NFT stands for non-fungible token. It’s generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but that’s where the similarity ends. Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible,” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another.

They duo has various NFT products in the works, including their collection called “MixTape Headz Society: Ukraine Edition”, which was released as an NFT charity auction to the public. 100% of the proceeds will go towards Ukraine relief efforts.
