Guests: objkt founders (3)

objkt is an NFT marketplace on the Tezos blockchain
the founders met on Twitter
HEN (Hic et nunc) came before objkt and was the biggest Tezos NFT marketplace
HEN loads data directly from blockchain so it’s sometimes slow / not stable
Felt HEN was missing ability to make offers and doing auctions
objkt built those features, and started to grow
Tezos’s NFT standard is FA1.2 or FA2 (compared to Ethereum erc721 and 1155)
objkt supports these standards and has indexer to read from Tezos blockchain and display in their marketplace
objkt recently launched NFT minting
wants to add push and email notifications – need good filters so it doesn’t overwhelm very active artists and collectors
Kevin: Tezos more green, more indie vibes, big collector, but worried about Tezos scalability, every time there’s a major NFT launch, Tezos blockchain has problems
when HEN marketplace went down, artists and collectors were worried their NFT data would disappear
right now all objkt data on IPFS
have human curator for home page
will add more algorithmic curation, a feed for artists and collectors you follow
what about social features?
won’t add comments anytime soon, happen already on Twitter / Discord
governance token / DAO?
“at some point…but not rushing anything”
all of it still experimental – can’t really ship fast and nail it later
