Momentous tweets can quickly and easily be immortalized on the Tezos blockchain as an NFT with the TwiTz application. TwiTz is led by Indian developer Soumya Ghosh Dastidar, who received a Tezos India Fellowship to explore his passion for building on blockchain—including access to mentors and resources.
A minting request is triggered simply by replying to a tweet with a mention of @twitznft and the connected Twitter username, or a Tezos address or domain. Only the creator of a tweet can claim ownership of the NFT, but other users can ‘gift’ a minted tweet to its original author. Minted tweets are added to the Objkt.com marketplace.
“We are pretty excited for the community to mint some cool and memorable tweets for themselves and others!” the TwiTz team recently tweeted.
Game Geeks aspires to become the home of blockchain gaming. Powered by the Tezos blockchain, Game Geeks provides a dynamic marketplace where users can play games, bet and win on the platform’s native tokens, acquire NFTs and in-game assets, and compete for recognition and prizes via a public leaderboard.
Founder Sanket Nighot said the platform will launch by June 30, 2022, starting with beta program registrants and a free loyalty NFT distribution. He developed Game Geeks with the support of a Tezos India Fellowship and said it was the ideal blockchain to build great Dapps on.
“The faster transaction rate, reduced gas fees, great supportive community, experts and mentors—these are some of the best things about Tezos blockchain,” Nighot said.
Salamax Cutie provides real-world support for Filipino performance artists to mint NFT art on the Tezos blockchain—it emerged from Titik Poetry, an art collective based in the Philippines that promotes poetry as a career and for social impact.
Jake Cezar, an artist and core member of Salamax Cutie, said the initiative grew organically after fellow artist Jarrett Cross helped him set up a Temple Wallet and sent him 1 tez to mint his artworks.
Eventually, Cezar paid the gesture forward by sharing a tez with another artist, who did the same—creating a movement called #1tezledtoanother that resulted in the whole collective of poets being onboarded on the Tezos blockchain.
“Basically, #1tezledtoanother is sending a tez to another artist to kickstart their journey into NFTs that hopefully, soon can help sustain their art and later on, can help others too,” Cezar said. Salamax Cutie also helps artists navigate NFT marketplaces and enhance their knowledge through AMAs, seminars, workshops, and events.
Dataverse is a self-described ‘Robin Hood’ for metaverse users: it frees people from the monopolies of traditional Internet companies through a secure, private folder system on Web3 where users can safeguard their sovereign identity, and organize and access their own data. Dataverse’s encrypted data spaces lets users manage cross-chain metaverse assets including NFTs, POAPs, user profiles, preferences, and web2 content.
Josephine Zhang—a partner at Ownership Labs, the China-based team behind Dataverse—said that since its launch, more than 60 million data streams have been created in Dataverse.
Zhang said it was important that Dataverse built in support for the Tezos ecosystem due to the blockchain’s popularity with artists, and to enable artists to put their multi-chain works in one place. “With Tezos actively helping us connect with people, we’ve onboarded a lot of artists as well as worked with NFT marketplaces,” she said.
An idyllic virtual world awaits entertainers, artists, brands, and fans across Southeast Asia in the Xanadu metaverse. Dubbed an ’entertainment city’, Xanadu combines augmented and virtual reality, social media, online gaming, NFTs, and crypto in a lifelike digital environment where users can interact via an avatar—all accessible using a web browser.
Performers can deliver immersive virtual concerts; brands can run virtual town halls or retail stores; and artists can leverage the Tezos blockchain to create, display and sell NFT artworks in 360-degree walkthroughs within Xanadu. CEO Ivan Khoo said the metaverse “…gives people a chance to directly fund their favorite artists so that they can produce more cool stuff for everyone out there.”
Singapore-based company NextID streamlines the effort of producing high-quality blockchain-based certificates. With clear benefits for sectors like academia, e-learning, government, and HR management, the company’s NextCertTM application issues tamper-free, verifiable credentials that can be used to authenticate documents, qualifications, awards, and artwork.
Through a Tezos Foundation grant, NextID is now working on integration with the Tezos blockchain. CEO Bill Claxton said, “We felt that supporting an internationally respected blockchain with fast confirmation time and low gas fees would be helpful to our customers.”
SweatyNFT is a no-code toolset that simplifies generative art NFT creation. Artists can generate up to 10,000 unique, randomly-generated artworks and launch their collections via marketplaces on multiple blockchains.
The project team received a Tezos Ecosystem Growth Grant to develop an integration with the Tezos blockchain, making NFT minting more accessible for its thriving art community.
Co-founder Sarisa Kojima, a Thai-Japanese NFT artist, made it her mission to empower less tech-savvy artists and support the Creator Economy by building SweatyNFT.
“As an individual artist and a person who is really into Tezos, I look forward to collaborating and growing the ecosystem as much as possible. I see a lot of room to fulfill this on the Tezos blockchain.”
