Also, NFTs make it possible for you to receive a percentage every time your work is sold or changes hands, so you are guaranteed a percentage of the profit if the work gains popularity and increases in price, not to mention, it’s just cool!NIFTYSouq is committed to ZERO minting costs for all artists launching NFTs on the platform, in addition to dedicated onboarding support to bring your NFT vision to life. With ZERO minting costs, artists can price their NFTs affordably, granting them access to more fans.Who we areAt NIFTY Souq, we’re excited to be bringing a brand-new type of digital goods to the MENA region through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).NFTs are unique digital files, which are provably scarce and useable across multiple applications. Like physical goods, you can do whatever you want with them! You can collect them, gift them, sell them, and even destroy them! They are digital files that are armed with all the programmable securities to allow them to become digital assets.A core part of our vision is to bring NFT and its technology to the MENA region to where users truly own this powerful brand of new digital items. Open, liquid marketplaces will help power these new economies and support artists to monetize through NFTs and digital assets. Therefore, we are working with a community of passionate users, developers, and creators to build the MENA’s first marketplace for NFTs.We are proud to be the first and largest marketplace for user-owned digital goods, including songs, music, illustrations, gifs, poetry, and many more assets backed by a blockchain. | $1.5M | Seed | Sep 20, 2022 | https://niftysouq.com/ |
