ID8R

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have arisen as a revolutionary means of digitising ownership and provenance. As unique digital assets stored on blockchain, NFTs have the power to authenticate and verify the originality of a digital item, be it art, avatar, collectible, game item, music, or even to represent ownership of physical assets. However, tools to personalise and curate digital assets (NFTs) are falling short of collectors’ needs. This hurts social interaction, adoption, and connection among enthusiasts. The founding team experienced this problem firsthand as NFT collectors and set out to develop a solution.

 

 
  • A design app crafted specifically to cater to the needs of web3 artists, brands, and enthusiasts
  • Effortlessly import NFTs and turn them into visually striking showcases, optimised for social media
  • Transform the appearance of your NFTs using the latest in AI and 3D technologies
  • Improve your reach and engagement on social media, be seen and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.

There is a need for a platform that enriches the experience of both creators and collectors. A platform that enables artists to exhibit their work in innovative formats. A platform where collectors can create showcases for their NFTs, not just as static images, but as dynamic, animated exhibitions. ID8R aims to address these needs by creating a space where NFTs can be transformed and displayed in unique, personalised formats, such as 3D visualisations (via three.js) and immersive AI-driven experiences (via Stable Diffusion + other AI tools). By empowering artists to bring additional layers of depth and interaction to their creations, and providing collectors with tools to showcase their NFTs, ID8R seeks to become an essential component of the NFT ecosystem.

ID8R are looking for additional artists and brands to collaborate with, whether they have existing NFT collections or are thinking about entering the space. By partnering this could extend the utility for holders of your collection(s) or bring an innovative dimension to a new NFT drop. Not sure how NFTs work or if they are the right fit for your audience/customers? ID8R are happy to chat! The company are also keen to speak with angel and VC investors who grasp the potential of the NFT adoption curve and recognise the value offered.

ID8R’s market is artists and brands who create NFTs, along with collectors who wish to showcase them on social media. Today those NFTs are primarily art and avatars. In the future it will be photos, game items, music, any digital assets that benefit from provenance, scarcity, and an ability to trade outside of corporate silos on open source networks. NFTs are still in their infancy, and as they mature, ID8R anticipates a proliferation of use cases that go beyond the current scope.
