NFTmall- Where NFT meets Defi and e-Commerce

Intro

NFTs are a hot topic right now since its current market boom, Although the market for digital items and goods is still at the infant stage. Monopolies and international entities were taking advantage of creators/Artists for many years by creating a massive barrier to entry! For example, traditionally, Artists have to physically produce a piece of artwork, get it accepted by a gallery, promote the exhibition and sell it. Also, in the case of a verification test, the authenticity of an Art is determined by an Art expert panel by carrying out costly tests! This complex process involves a huge barrier of entry and hinders creativity; as a result, unpopular yet talented traditional ART creators often don’t get enough exposure and have to market their work instead of focusing on creation.

Traditional Art Gallery

The traditional approach not only hinders artists but also hinders creativity in general. since the unpopular yet talented artists may not afford the entry requirement to use the various expensive Art galleries. This problem can be overcome using digital art & blockchain technology synergizing Defi and NFT. Blockchain simplifies Digital art/asset creation into NFT and logs the entry of a digital asset/NFT in the blockchain as a token. which can't be counterfeited and creators can be rewarded relatively. It allows talented artists to showcase their talent & provides a level playing field to create and earn royalties in perpetuity. Since it’s a very new concept and the market for digital items just starts to generate, existing top-tier NFT marketplaces do not fully satisfy the needs of their users. They do not solve the issue by having high platform fees to mint, list or trade. And even royalty fees for creators are not automated/independent! and usually chosen by the Marketplace! as well as most of them are not fully decentralised and require a tedious process to mint/list, application and permission. More importantly, none of them offers or Provides a solution to the materialisation of NFT to generate further use cases in the real world. Thus, they act as a monopoly for both creators & traders and possess a high barrier of entry and fail to create a level playing field for their users (creators, collectors and traders).

“By deeply considering the limitations of existing marketplaces, I was staring at the market gap and had to pick up the challenge to provide a solution I called NFTmall”.

“NFTmall is the answer to the existing limitations of the traditional NFT marketplace. It is the world's first Creator centric, Defi & E-commerce powered, Multichain & standard support, Physically orderable, NFT marketplace.”

NFT materialisation service.

Introducing GEM, a utility & governance token to simplify NFT trading & governance of the platform. GEM is spendable on the NFTmall and tradable in exchanges (both Cex & Dex's).

Limitations Identified

  • High Entry Barrier
    Existing marketplaces have some high entry requirements like their KYC process, along with high marketplace platform fees for minting and primary & secondary sales, and also a high gas price to list, mint or trade since the majority of top tier marketplaces operate on the Ethereum chain at the moment.
  • Limited Access
    There is limited access to a marketplace for NFT creators who pay high gas prices and also run the risk of substantial financial loss in the process.
  • Royalty issues
    Royalty rewards are biased and set by third-party (Marketplace) and not by the creator, thus creators often mint the same NFT in different marketplaces and NFT loses its authenticity & value. Royalty payout to creators is not automated.
  • Lack of exposure
    Most NFT marketplaces lack exposure to creators & collectors. Artists need exposure to create, share and monetize content.
Problems of Existing Marketplaces
  • Low-quality NFT
    Marketplaces get bombarded with low-quality and spammy NFTs, thus making it very difficult for buyers to look for and find rare valuable NFTs.
  • Zero utility in the real world
    Current NFTs only exist in digital form as a token and there’s no way to display such valuable digital collectibles and prove authenticity and ownership in the real world.

Solution NFTmall

Exposure to Creators/Artists:

  • NFTmall introduces an Affiliate Program that allows Creators to focus on excellent NFT creation instead of marketing.
  • Various contest programs will allow new talents to be recognized and to win massive economic gains.

Multi-chain & Standard support
Most of the top-ranked existing NFT marketplaces are built on Ethereum and only support ERC standards, thus limiting the benefits of other chains, like low gas fees and high-speed Transactions! NFTmall solves the issue by collectively supporting Multiple standards and chains. Currently, NFTmall only supports the BSC chain but in the coming days and weeks it will integrate into different chains and explore its opportunities and possibilities(i.e Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana) thus NFTmall becomes the very first multi-chain operational & multi-standard support NFT Marketplace in existence!

Community-based Content Curation
NFTmall aims to build a dApp, an automatic detection system for NFT minting on secondary marketplaces as well as introducing copyrighted NFTs. With these techniques, anyone from the community has the opportunity to identify and report with proof, malicious activities such as minting the same NFT on a secondary platform or unauthorized copyrighted digital item minting.

Smart Indexing Engine (NFT Explorer)
We are tackling low-quality spammy NFT problems and providing easy-to-find NFT solutions using a Google-like Smart indexing engine. ”NFT Explorer” - A robust API through which users will be able to find all chains, including Evmos NFTs/ NFT projects using the NFT search engine. Apart from using ourselves, we will also provide this API solution to third-party dapps under conditions such as NFTmarketplace, NFTAnalytics websites, and Various interested wallets willing to show NFTs of various chains in their user's wallet etc.

Other NFTmall Services in a Short while

GEM token Fiat Ramp:
To give the GEM token its well-deserved recognition, and exposure and make it super easy and accessible through fiat for newbies in space, NFTmall will partner with third-party fiat on and off-ramp service providers, where users can make day-to-day purchases or trade GEM with different fiat currencies.

NFTmall Payment Gateway

NFTmall Payment Gateway For Non-savvy Crypto Users:
This is an improved UX for newbie users. Our vision is to reach mass adoption by approaching both crypto-savvy & non-crypto users. Therefore, in the future, we plan to implement some opt-in UX enhancements for average users. Savvy crypto users can skip these enhancements if they wish to. We are achieving it through the following;

• A wallet-free experience by utilizing key-free and password-less technology like Ice tea ID

Buying NFTs using Visa, Mastercard or Paypal, the system will connect to 3rd-party services to support payment for non-crypto users. By adding these payment methods, we expected to bring the platform to mass users who are not familiar with crypto payments.

Apart from these, we will also implement different ideas in the coming days and equipped NFTmall with other revolutionary features with an aim to change the whole NFT landscape globally.
