November 30th, 2021 -The Algorand Foundation welcomes Mintdropz to the Algorand ecosystem as our latest grant recipient. Mintdropz has been awarded a grant to build an ecosystem and community for NFT’s on the Algorand blockchain. Mintdropz will enable people to easily launch and incubate NFT projects with no coding required.
Mintdropz, a Silicon Valley based startup, is building the next generation of technology that is disrupting the entertainment space and is bringing power back to the creators. Mintdropz will allow creators to directly sell NFT’s from their own D2C platforms, apps, websites, and profiles.
Mintdropz will use the grant funding to build a platform that allows artists, creators, celebrities, and influencers to launch their own NFT storefront or marketplace with no code. The goal is to create a seamless process for those who want to create digital collectibles on Algorand. Mintdropz work with gamers, Hollywood stars/celebrities, NBA players, rappers, film production houses to build out their own platforms and will broaden the horizon for these creators to launch on Algorand.
