Our Beginnings
In 2021 we embarked on a journey to create a platform built with the community at heart. Whilst this journey was fun, it has come with challenges.
From the outset, we had the vision of building an inclusive platform where users can engage in the trading of digital collectibles securely and safely. Embracing the Flare network, a pioneering layer 1 blockchain, we aligned with a technology that resonated with our vision and values. Our foundation was cemented and quickly became synonymous with trust and excellence.
We created a robust digital collectible infrastructure that thrived across Songbird and Flare, utilized by creators, traders, and developers. Whilst constantly garnering trust, the platform has amassed the largest user base on Songbird and Flare. It wasn’t just about building a platform but nurturing an ecosystem where innovation could flourish.
Our Journey So Far
· Unique users surpassed ~60,000 wallets.
· Total volume traded $5,000,000.
· Total transactions ~500,000.
· Official Flare Network partner.
· APIs utilized by Bifrost Wallet — the largest wallet provider on Flare — to bring access to digital collectibles for users at ground level.
· Flywheel effect of our API endpoints being utilized to distribute data across the entire ecosystem.
· The first environmentally positive marketplace in the world verifiable on-chain.
