In order to support himself, Sethi claimed that he is minting and selling his letter of resignation as an NFT for 0.023 ETH ($38.00). He promised that in the future, he would airdrop more artwork for his fans. The app Manifold, where buyers can mint the token, reports that 38 tokens have been produced as of this writing.
Mastercard leader will create his own Web3 social networking site
Now, Sethi will focus on creating his own Web3 social networking and community-building platform, joincircle. He also stated in his letter that he has plans to publish various kinds of art in the future.
joincircle is now my top priority. We have 90,000+ sign ups, 35+ partner communities, 300,000+ potential users waiting for the ultimate social platform. Doing justice by all of you is my goal. We have an NFT collection, platform, & other things in the works. Stay tuned, sooooon!

Sethi also emphasized the scope of his contribution to the organization. He claimed that he should be contacted with any queries regarding Web3 including those from partners.
MasterCard has not issued a statement in response to Sethi’s resignation. Despite Sethi’s pivotal role, it is likely that it will continue to provide its various non-fungible token features.
