The Opportunity
Art Curator Grid, a platform for artistic and curatorial events, needed to improve funding for its arts and properly engage with its communities. They opted to take advantage of the utility and data offered by NFTs to build carefully designed NFT discovery experiences for artists to monetize their work and earn more opportunities.
Still, the Art Curator Grid encountered several roadblocks, such as a lack of development knowledge and personnel and a scarcity of understanding of blockchain technology, which led to a costly and unviable process of NFT minting.
How we Helped
Unique Network provided backing as a development aid to deliver Art Curator Grid with an interoperable, white-label, and scalable NFT platform and marketplace known as Artpool.
Artpool could embed NFT art directly onto the platform homepage, offering artists and curators better opportunities within the digital world.
