[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.
The problem address the absence of a minting portal on Cardano for dynamic NFT, hindering seamless creation and management of dNFTs.
Solution involves developing a minting portal of dynamic NFT to empower creators and users on the Cardano blockchain. Utilizing smart contract capabilities, the portal will enable customizable dNFT creation, allowing users to define attributes, metadata, and unlock additional functionalities. This approach aims to provide a user-friendly and versatile platform that caters to diverse NFT use cases.
The project will engage creators, artists, developers, and the wider Cardano community interested in NFTs. By providing an accessible portal with customizable features, we aim to democratize NFT creation, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of unique and diverse digital assets on Cardano.
[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.
Impact will be demonstrated through the increased adoption and diversity of NFTs minted on the portal. Key metrics will include the number of creators, volume of minted NFTs, and user satisfaction. Ongoing community feedback and participation will further validate the portal's impact and continuous improvements.
Solution stands out by offering a user-friendly portal that allows customization of dynamic NFT attributes. Creators and collectors will benefit from the flexibility to define and interact with NFTs in novel ways. Importantly for Cardano, this solution contributes to the ecosystem's appeal by fostering creativity, diversity, and user empowerment within the NFT space. It aligns with Cardano's commitment to decentralized, user-centric applications, solidifying its position as a blockchain platform that accommodates and promotes innovation.
[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
I co-founded Tangocrypto Software as a Service (https://www.tangocrypto.com) providing a Cardano API for blockchain data and NFT minting (which was the result of catalyst funds received during iteration 6 and 8). Started the development of cardano-wallet-js (https://github.com/tango-crypto/cardano-wallet-js) and operate the stake pool TANGO. I have also support some of the most important projects on Cardano right now like GGMC main NFTs collection and their B2B Kingdom Trust initiative (based on dynamic NFTs).
I have developed a minting service designed to seamlessly scale and accommodate a substantial influx of thousands of buyers per second. I possesses extensive expertise in building scalable systems that empower decentralized networks.
