Project Proposal
Project Title
Artemis Market
Description
Artemis is the world’s first mobile-first, cross-chain NFT social and trading platform to bring established real life brands and products to the Metaverse.
Artemis Market is currently the only NFT marketplace that is both EVM and Solana compatible. Artemis is a mobile first platform focusing on SocialFi - Crypto-dedicated social platform that completes the NFT discovery value chain all in one place. Artemis Market | Linktree
Manifesto/Vision
Artemis envisions to build the core infrastructure for Metaverse access and utility, leading the charge to onboard the next 100 million Web3 users,
- Mobile-first platform to enable 24/7 market and access to Metaverse assets
- Socialfi-enabled community to propagate metaverse engagement, awareness and discussions
- Bringing established brands and products to the Metaverse creates real life use cases
Problem
The current NFT market lacks a compelling user experience for trading and interacting with an NFT. Most NFT platforms are:
- Desktop focused – Meaning that users cannot access and interact with their NFTs on the go.
- Lack of social community – Most of the community actions when interacting with NFTs such as discovery, discussion and showcasing are performed away from the NFT platform. This leads to a jarring experience as users are forced to switch between apps.
- Lacking personalized user experience – One of Web2.0’s best innovations was being able to create a tailored user experience and this feature has not been integrated on NFT platforms in the market.
Solution
Artemis is set to reinvent the way we interact with NFTs by building the world’s first cross-chain NFT social and trading platform, bringing established real life brands and products to the Metaverse. Artemis will be a mobile focused experience from Day 1 with a mobile-friendly website. We will also be developing our very own in-app social community, offering an end-to-end NFT experience for creators to directly connect with their communities, and for users to discover, discuss, share and showcase NFTs, anytime and anywhere.
Product Features
- Artemis Market is the first NFT social and trading platform to be compatible on both EVM and Solana
- #SocialFi #Mobile #Crosschain #NFT - end-to-end comprehensive SocialFi suite with its own in-app social community
- Bringing established brands and real life products to the Metaverse
Validation
We successfully conducted alpha testing though our social community before our desktop and mobile website launched on Solana in January 2022. Before we launch on Ethereum, we will conduct similar testing inviting our community to test our platform and provide feedback - the qualified testers will then be eligible for the whitelist for allocation of our ART token.
Progress
We have successfully launched our desktop and mobile website on Solana in January 2022. We have also confirmed partnership with numerous renowned real life brands to launch exclusive NFT collections on our platform.
Features in development:
- Multi-chain capabilities – Solana, Terra and EVM
- Multi stable coin support – Artemis already has stablecoin transaction feature built in for Solana and will incorporate these to other chains as we integrate multi-chain functionality
- Fiat-to-NFT gateway – Users can directly purchase NFTs using credit cards
- NFT-Collateralized Lending
Differentiation (from other projects)
Creating A Compelling Mobile NFT Experience
Artemis will be a mobile focused experience from day 1. In Web2.0, one of the greatest innovations that led to the boom in internet adoption was mobile integration which captured massive user time spent and user engagement. With this at the heart, Artemis is developed to be a mobile native platform where users will be able to enjoy and interact with their NFTs 24/7 and on the go, as well as sharing and discussing them with friends anytime, anywhere.
Developing Our Own In-App Community
Buying and selling are core features of any NFT marketplace, and Artemis is no exception. Apart from offering a vibrant and secure marketplace for creators and users, we believe social element is essential to completing the whole user experience. We want our users to be able to conduct their whole NFT experience all in one app. From discovering and discussing with creators, to collecting NFTs, to interacting, sharing and commenting with friends – users will be able to seamlessly perform all these actions within Artemis, without the need of switching platforms.
Expanding The NFT Industry Into Physical World
Artemis is very excited about the future of NFTs. We are big fans of innovative creator projects who have cultivated their own sticky and lively communities, and we are keen to support these existing as well as up-and-coming NFT projects to continue growing and thriving.
