SHERIDAN, Wyo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Animation.com is excited to announce that its marketplace is now open for all artists and collectors to sell and purchase NFTs powered by the popular open-source decentralized Cardano blockchain.

Animation.com was founded on a very simple philosophy: “Nullus Artifex Debet Esurire” which means “No Artist Should Starve”.

The decentralized, immutable and unique nature of blockchain technology helps foster new ways in which art can be produced, monetized and acquired online.

The Animation.com team is a passionate group of developers working diligently to support creators and their patrons.

“Animation.com makes it easy for artists to get started in the NFT space with no upfront costs. Minting can be done on demand at the time of purchase,” says Milan Reichbach, CEO of Animation.com.

Competitive Fees: The Animation.com platform only charges a fee after a sale has been made. The fee is just 10% and the artist keeps 90% of the revenue generated at the time of the sale.

NFT marketing: Animation.com is committed to ensuring that artists are showcased prominently in the marketplace. Having a smaller marketplace allows us to be flexible to closely collaborate with artists and leverage our various social media channels to promote their creative work.

Also, Animation.com is proud to launch its own NFT project called “The Adequate Adventures of Da Boi”, named after our upcoming animated series! Collectors can own them for only 36 ADA each. Da Boi is minting right now and can be found at https://www.animation.com/daboi

Digital artists are encouraged sign up today at www.animation.com.

Animation.com contributes to the Cardano ecosystem by running the ANIM stake pool. Animation.com is a single stake pool operator. Please further the decentralization of Cardano by delegating your ADA to the ANIM pool today!

GalaxE.io by HODL Assets CEO Jenny Q. Ta collaborates with artists across industries to streamline the creation and sale of NFTs, including designs from Dogecoin founder and Miss USA and collections to benefit cancer research

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — GalaxE.io by HODL Assets (https://galaxe.io/), the all-in-one social NFT metaverse, is announcing a series of twelve NFT collections in collaboration with a coterie of distinguished partners, including Billy Markus, creator of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. CEO Jenny Q. Ta has collaborated with more than 100 renowned artists on the collections, which will be released consecutively starting in late June.

With NFTs being a hot but still relatively novel commodity, many prospective buyers and would-be collectors don’t know where to begin in selecting particular artists or works. It can be difficult to get a wide scope of the creators and styles on the market, leaving even seasoned collectors to acquire multiple NFTs in the same niche instead of allowing them to branch out. Gathering NFT artists, collectors, and buyers together in a single space where they can sell, buy, and connect socially has also historically presented a challenge.

GalaxE.io is solving that problem by offering a space where the NFT artists and collectors can come together without having to leave the platform to communicate via third-party messaging platforms. The goal behind this new series of collaborative drops by Ta and her partners is to represent a range of the artists and genres defining the NFT market and to open up their offerings to buyers of all experience levels. For every purchase of an NFT from one collection, a user gains access to the presales for the next consecutive collection. For example, a user who purchases one of the NFTs in Collection one will qualify for the presales in Collection two, and so on.

Ta is also offering a full-service program for older generations who may not be familiar with Web3 tech and apps or with minting NFTs but still wish to create and launch their own exclusive NFTs. GalaxE.io will take on these clients and release their NFTs for a servicing fee; for all sales from that artist or collector, Galaxe.io will take a 10 to 15 percent cut on top of where minting and gas fees can be applied. GalaxE.io also offers “Lazy Minting,” which is a lazy-on-demand to minting at the point of purchase where the artist does not have to pay for any upfront gas fees to mint their NFTs, essentially paying the fees only once the NFT is purchased.

The collections will drop alternately on GalaxE.io cross-chain social NFT aggregator and OpenSea. The first NFT collection will be released on OpenSea, while the second will be on GalaxE.io, alternating between the two for ensuing drops. The first collection will feature 47 unique NFT artists benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Living Beyond Breast Cancer – a subsequent collection will feature a collage of the artists’ work. Among the artists who have contributed to this collection are Billy Markus, the creator of Dogecoin, and former Miss USA Susie Castillo.

Other collections will reflect their artists’ diverse abilities and interests, a few include:

• A professional-artist exclusive collection from Clarence “Pencilman” Pointer
• An exclusive Diaspora Showcase Africa collection created by Kwevi Quaye, features the fashion, music, dance, food and entertainment of Africa
• A collection of exclusive batik (dyed-cloth) designs by artist Shinta Dhanuwardoyo
• A collection featuring a series of 3D dragons connected to a P2E game
• An NFT inspired by a Bitcoin/Dogecoin-themed love song, produced by Ta and sung by hip-hop artist $tories and indie vocalist Brittney Bouchard

“We have so many talented artists on board whose work deserves to sell, and we want to get as many people into the buying game as possible,” Ta says. “We’re very pleased to be able to make this special offer of priority access to the NFT collection. The chain reaction of consecutive presales will incentivize buyers to look into each upcoming collection and generate more interest sooner for the artists. It’s a win-win.”

GalaxE will simultaneously release a mobile web version of the GalaxE.io platform. There, users will be able to view and interact with the NFT collections released on the platform.

EMURGO – the official commercial arm of Cardano and one of its founding entities – today announced the deployment of NFT minting capabilities for an initial group of genesis artists on its Cardano NFT marketplace Fibo.

Fibo is an EMURGO-backed Cardano NFT marketplace empowering creators and collectors for a positive social impact.

Visit Fibo to learn more.

As part of our commitment to a safe and secure Fibo launch, EMURGO is utilizing a phased rollout approach. In the near future, we will complete a full public release of Fibo, including buying and selling NFTs that’s open to all. We will continue to support additional artists as we grow to start minting NFTs of their original works prior to the full public release.

Our Process

Announced a couple of months ago, Fibo has been putting out a call for artists to pre-register on https://fibo.art/. We have received a tremendous amount of interest and we thank all of the artists who have submitted their impressive work.

See also EMURGO’s call for Cardano artists on IOHK’s Cardano360.

Due to the large number of talented pre-registered artists each with their own unique qualities, the selection process was involved and diverse, taking into account a myriad of factors including community engagement, social impact, location/region, and story, among others.

After a careful selection process, Fibo has selected an initial group of artists (“Genesis” artists) for our Fibo minting feature launch.

Developed by EMURGO and powered by Cardano’s blockchain technology, and its native cryptocurrency ADA, the soon-to-launch NFT platform will allow “socially conscious” artists and creators to connect with buyers and sellers in a single marketplace.

The research-driven blockchain that utilizes the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism prides itself on providing an “undeniably green, environmentally-friendly technology that comes with industry-leading low energy costs.”

As a key developer of Fiborite, EMURGO will leverage support services for artists, musicians, creators, and brands wanting to enter the NFT space.

Compared to other NFT marketplaces

Fiborite could attract creators and brands looking for quick exposure to new audiences based on several key factors.

These include Cardano’s large global community of over 3 million, and low transaction fees compared to some other NFT marketplaces–here, paid in ADA.

On top of that, Fiborite’s straightforward UX, which is “geared towards non-technical users” will allow novices to easily find their way through the platform’s features–including options to mint, buy, sell, and trade NFTs. 

Recently, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson talked about the platform’s budding DeFi ecosystem, touching on some of the major projects that are currently under construction.

In a YouTube video entitled, “DApps and Cardano DeFi Alliance,” Hoskinson said that the first half of 2022 will be “an essential window for commercialization and utility of Cardano projects.” 

Meanwhile, Cardano-powered decentralized exchange (DEX) SundaeSwap announced it has completed a security audit in partnership with Runtime Verification (RV)–ahead of its mainnet debut.

Today we are pleased to announce the audit completion of the SundaeSwap Protocol!

Coinbase has announced its exclusive partnership with the American Music distributor, UnitedMasters to enable the choice of cryptocurrency payments to artists for the music they create. According to Coinbase’s recent blog, the partnership will not only financially empower the music creators, in fact, it will also ‘decentralize the economics of the music business.’

The UnitedMasters’ artists will be in charge of their earnings after the crypto partnership. The artists will decide whether they would prefer to be paid, in full or in part, in US dollars or in a cryptocurrency of their choice, further facilitating an autonomous payment system for the employees. The blog mentioned that the artists will have Coinbase’s full set of product offerings at their exposure, including spending, earning, trading, and borrowing services. The crypto exchange giant noted that their generosity is to help the artists do more with their crypto earnings instead of merely putting them aside as one would do with their traditional fiat savings.

“Our mission at Coinbase is to increase economic freedom in the world, and we applaud UnitedMasters’ efforts to help level the playing field for their community of musical artists. Crypto enables more fair and equal access to wealth for anyone, anywhere, without prejudice. We want to make it easy for every company to pay employees in crypto. This is the future of payroll.”

Coinbase Crypto paychecks

Last month, Coinbase announced its latest initiative, letting customers in the US deposit their paychecks into Coinbase, to further enable regular crypto trades and an array of crypto rewards by spending on Coinbase Cards. Coinbase guaranteed zero transaction fees on direct deposit of funds, along with instant and free access to the crypto economy.

Furthermore, Coinbase noted that their partnerships will let the users stay in control of their money by depositing as little or as much of their paychecks as they feel comfortable and offers the choice from 100+ cryptocurrencies available on Coinbase or in US Dollars.
