What’s up? We’re Vayner3! A brand new part of the VaynerX family, dedicated to building the future of NFTs – partnering with celebrities and brands to make magic happen. Day in and day out, we propel some of the biggest IP owners in the world to the intersection of attention and culture… NFTs.

Culture is our key and Empathy is how we build it. VaynerX is built on a combination of diverse backgrounds collaborating to put forward innovative, creative and strategic solutions to the one advantage that stands the test of time — PEOPLE.

At Vayner3, we’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively – and shares a genuine passion for building communities and understanding the world of NFTS.
