Ross Ulbricht, the man behind the creation and operation of the darknet website titled "Silk Road," will have an NFT collection on his name soon. The NFT collection will be available for auction on Dec 2 via SuperRare, a platform dedicated to the sale of rare NFT pieces, at the Art Basel Miami.

Ross Ulbricht Genesis Collection features personal work

Ross Ulbricht was the man behind the sale of narcotics on the darknet and was arrested in 2013. The NFT collection is the only one to feature his personal work. As per the Fad Magazine, the minting will begin on Dec 2 at "NFT now x Christie's Art Basel 2021 gallery, The Gateway."

Ross Ulbricht was never convicted for homicide but will have to spend his life in prison for soliciting narcotics via his website. He spent his 9th year without parole on Oct 1, 2021. 

The NFT collection is curated by Entoptic and will consist of a total of "10 artworks Ross Ulbricht, from early childhood to teen to prisoner." Furthermore, an original animation by Levitate voiced by Ross Ulbricht himself will also be included in the sale. 

A unique aspect of the NFT is that it is made on the open-source protocol KSPEC. The protocol allows owners to receive the NFT in full quality and remain connected with the creator to update the token during its lifetime.

Establishment of donor fund

The establishment of a donor fund called Art4Giving is also a part of this auction. A part of proceeds from the auction will be reserved for funding this new donor fund. 
"With proceeds from this NFT, we are starting a donor-advised fund called Art4Giving, dedicated to relieving the suffering of the incarcerated and their families. One project I envision is to help kids travel to visit their moms and dads in prison," said Ross Ulbricht to FAD Magazine.
Entoptic claims this NFT to be a way for Ross to breach the walls of the prison and spread his experience outside the bars. On the other hand, Ross claims that the release of the NFT is his way of "looking for meaning and purpose."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
