Bud Light, the popular beer brand, has partnered with Nouns DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization.
As part of the partnership, Bud Light will use the Nouns DAO iconic glasses in their Super Bowl ad that airs Sunday. The news comes days after Bud Light entered the non-fungible token space with Bud Light NEXT NFT.
Nouns DAO and Bud Light Ad to be at Super Bowl
Nouns is an NFT project based on Ethereum that generates avatars based on nouns, i.e., people, things, and places.
Every day, one noun is generated and auctioned off. The Nouns DAO is responsible for the governance of the project and receives all ETH proceeds from the sale of Nouns NFT.
