Azuki is making history, the Web3.0 brand renowned for its Non-Fungible Token (NFT) innovations, as it sold out the 8th most expensive skateboard in the world.

According to the startup, the cheapest bid it received for the golden skateboards was 200 ETH, worth approximately $266,518, based on the price of Ethereum pegged at $1,332.59 at the time of writing.

“The Golden Skateboard is a marvel of art & technology showcasing our first implementation of PBT, which paves the way for a new era of storytelling,” Azuki said in its Twitter announcement, adding that it “broke the record for the most expensive skateboard ever sold (in fact, the 8 most expensive skateboards ever sold).”
