And in conventional social media, creators have to go through middle-man to sell merchandise, paid advertisements, shout-outs, or any form of partnerships. Ourinnovation through NFT aim to cut out the need for these middle-man, and we do this through two novel NFT applications - Genesis-NFT & Content-NFT farming. | $1.3M | Seed | Apr 21, 2024 |  |
