What are Genies?

As the world’s largest avatar technology company, Genies is on a mission to become the identity layer across the internet. Genies is creating a network of platforms and marketplaces where virtual identities lead the way in digital communication, connection, commercialization, and monetization. Soon, you’ll be able to use your Genie across the SDK network, with the first destination being Giphy (launching next month).

Genie Moments and Unlockables: The Pokémon of Culture

Genies are official avatars for the world’s biggest icons. These tastemakers use their Genies to memorialize life defining moments. For the first time ever, Genies is bringing a consumer first approach to digital art & collectibles, providing real world utility to NFTs – Genie Moments unlock rare Genie Wearables for you to adorn your own Genie and bring them wherever you go.

Shawn Mendes Genie Moment

Welcome to Genies’ Origin Series with Shawn Mendes, Number 2 of 6 Curated Genies Collections.

A message from Shawn…

“I’ve always been fascinated with our current generation of young artists & their ability to express themselves through self-learning and free expression online. From sharing videos on Youtube as a kid, to working with incredible artists & creative directors to visual artists on our tours, I’ve been humbled by the incredible work of young people making change in the world through their passions in music and other art forms.

Inspired by my Wonder album, I’m dropping collectible Genie Moments to raise funds with an aim to amplify, uplift, and empower young digital artists who are using their talent to create positive, social change. With proceeds from all collections going to support the Shawn Mendes Foundation Wonder Grants program, and a new pool of grants we’re launching with Genies to support young digital artists we’re hoping this drop will enable young creators to prosper. In this drop, you can contribute to that cause. More on the Shawn Mendes Foundation below.

Together let’s give a voice to inspiring individuals & foundations on their endeavors to make change & give back!”

The Shawn Mendes Foundation seeks to amplify, empower & uplift youth changemakers, their organizations and their work. SMF works to provide a learning platform for today’s youth, and give direct support to causes they are passionate about. We will encourage people to learn alongside Shawn about the amazing causes they can actively support – and the incredible people working to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others.
