World of Women Launches NFT Portrait Series Honoring Women Builders in Web3

At a time when diversity initiatives are coming under more scrutiny, World of Women (WoW) has commissioned artist Sara Baumann to start a portrait series that champions women builders in Web3. The NFT collection, which is minted on the Etherlink-Tezos blockchain L2, highlights the importance of four trailblazing women pioneers in establishing new ground in decentralized technology by portraying them as Western frontier icons.

Sara Baumann stated:

“These portraits capture more than likeness – they tell the story of women who refuse to wait for permission to build the future. By reimagining tech leaders as frontier pioneers, we’re making visible the courage it takes to create in spaces where you’re often the only woman in the room.”

Tina He (Base), Winny.eth (Chipped), Evin McMullen (Privado ID), and Jill Gunter (Espresso Systems) are featured in the initial series. These leaders reflect a new generation of entrepreneurs forging their own routes to success in a field where women make up just 7% of founders and none have raised more than $100 million.

Taisia Antonova, WoW CEO stated:

“Launching this initiative is a clear statement that we won’t back down from supporting women builders. This isn’t just about art – it’s about directing capital and opportunities to founders who’ve been systematically overlooked. When women represent only 15% of investment teams and raise four times less capital than men, we have to create new funding pathways.”

The portraits are available for free on Etherlink, eliminating financial obstacles to participation. This is a purposeful decision that aligns with WoW’s goal of economic inclusiveness and simplifies the onboarding process, which keeps women who are interested in cryptocurrency from joining the chain. The project expands upon the existing ecosystem of WoW. While WoW has already deployed $3 million to nonprofits and helped more than 500 artists, this portrait series broadens their influence by honoring the builders who are influencing the market with these economic tools.

The portrait series launches with a robust presence during ETHDenver 2025:

• SheFi Summit (February 26): Panels, networking, and activations are all part of the EthDenver edition. To attend, apply here.
• Nolcha Shows Opening Party (February 26): Print portrait gallery exhibition; more details available here.

On February 25, Minting will open on AFFC.club as a free open edition on Etherlink, with WoW covering all transaction fees.

WoW gained traction prior to ETHDenver with its appearance at NFT Paris, launching Anti-Farming Farming Club, and releasing a new manifesto mint that is still accessible on the WoW website. They also intend to attend NFC Lisbon in June.

By giving them access to top-notch networking opportunities, life-changing experiences, and capital formation, World of Women (WoW) empowers women to influence the decentralized future. The renowned digital art collections World of Women and World of Women Galaxy are credited to the renowned brand. Through networking possibilities, live events, immersive education, and the promotion of digital identity development in web3 and beyond, its vast ecosystem links its community members worldwide.

With the help of its numerous celebrity collectors (Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Longoria, Huda Kattan, Moj Mahdara, Brie Larson, and Sofia Vergara), as well as brand partnerships with Billboard Magazine, Hasbro, Jazwares, and House of Harlow, World of Women has gained both mainstream success and art world credibility. WoW is represented by Guy Oseary, whose roster includes Madonna, U2 and the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
