The sale happened on the \u003ca href=\"https://foundation.app/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foundation platform, \u003c/a>an NFT auction marketplace that uses the Ether cryptocurrency.

In addition to getting buy-in at the very highest level of the administration, the university, which owns the copyright to the research documents, had to work through a variety of legal, marketing and technological issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had to turn the 150-year-old institution into a startup,” Cohen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen said UC Berkeley worked with a designer to create the digital piece, which was minted on May 27 on the \u003ca href=\"https://ethereum.org/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ethereum blockchain\u003c/a>.
