Memphis College of Art grad Michael Roy painted the mural on the Exchange Building at 130 Madison Ave. Because it’s also a non-fungible token, it means that, within the artwork, there’s a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger, and it uses blockchain technology to establish proof of ownership.

The hope behind a new mural on the Exchange Building is to teach the community about new types of technology while also raising funds for St. Jude.
