TLDR

Minty Fresh - easily create and sell NFTs on your phone

Opportunity

When you search for “nft minting” on the app store you don’t get any results. Go ahead and try, we’ll wait. By having a nice native app to mint NFTs, Rarible could attract to the platform the biggest class of digital creators out there, social media stars and influencers. Rarible users should be able to mint their NFTs directly from their phones in a smooth and easy manner. A couple of taps and hey, presto! User has her immortal collectible ready to sell and can share the Rarible link to buy directly to the social media of her choice. NFTs created on Minty Fresh are minted via the Rarible API and show up on the user’s account on rarible.com and are sold exclusively on Rarible. Minty Fresh will focus on simplicity to reduce friction in the minting process.

Business model

Minty Fresh will collect fees on the following point-of-sale cases in the Rarible platform: When the NFT is sold originally, Minty Fresh gets 1% of the sale price

Accountability

Our team members will attend weekly community calls and dev calls, and provide updates on our milestones as we make progress. In the event that we can’t fulfil our commitment, funds will be returned to Rarible DAO. We will also work with community members to ensure updates are distributed through the Rarible communication channels.

Why should Rarible DAO fund this?

We believe that Minty Fresh will be the entry point for a big new class of NFT creators. Social media stars and influencers are used to create on their phone and leverage their creations for an income. NFTs will be a nice new revenue stream for them that they can sell directly to their superfans and Rarible will be their home base. Influencers are hurting right now due to loss of revenue connected to the Covid-19 virus and they will jump on the chance to broaden their revenue streams.
