The latest item to be auctioned as a nonfungible token is the original source code for the World Wide Web, written by the British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

“The auction for the World Wide Web NFT — titled ‘This Changed Everything’ — will be run by Sotheby’s in London from June 23-30, with bidding starting at $1,000,” reported CNBC. “The proceeds of the auction will benefit initiatives that Berners-Lee and his wife support, Sotheby’s said.”
