We went to the actual creators of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to get their feedback on movement in the market. If you’re interested in insights from the company that created NFTs, check out this chat with Mickey Maher, SVP of Partnerships at Dapper Labs. He and Gigster’s Director of Blockchain, Cory Hymel, talk about the fundamentals of success in the NFT space. Dapper Labs is the company behind NBA Top Shot, CryptoKitties, and the Flow blockchain. Their goal is to bring a mass market audience to blockchain technology through entertainment, applications and games. In addition to developing the first real mass market application of NFTs, their CTO, Dieter Shirley was one of the authors of the ERC-721 NFT Standard for Ethereum.
“Community first, second, last. What you’re really building here is a next generation social network which is connecting fans of a creator or brand together, but also more directly connecting the fans with that creator. Embrace and facilitate that,” said Maher. After starting a relationship with Dapper more than 2 years ago, Gigster was proud to recently announce their formal partnership to facilitate rapid NFT marketplace development on Flow for customers.
