NFTDOT.IO-enable adoption of NFT&FT

Vision

Our vision is to become a top choice for tokenizing and monetizing fungible and non-fungible assets on Cardano

Mission

Our mission is to remove the entry barriers into digital art and native tokens for both artists/producers and consumers, enabling a wider adoption through our platform built on Cardano at a globally affordable cost.

And we strongly believe we can do this for as many users as possible, who may already be part of the Cardano Community or just thinking of how to use blockchain to improve their lives, better themselves or just support their communities.

In terms of utility our platform will allow you to tokenize assets and digitize artwork, as well as giving our users the means to monetize those assets, all under an easy to use, powerful and globally afordable platform.
