The Development History of the NFT Project
April 10, 2023, became a landmark day in the history of Bluez, marking the beginning of a new era in the field of digital assets. From this date, Bluez began to provide core features for interacting with NFTs, especially supporting the ERC721 standard. The platform also started providing important statistics such as floor price and trading volume, which was an important step in development.
In the second quarter of 2023, Bluez took another significant step forward, developing the NFT ecosystem based on EVM in Astar. This period was marked by the introduction of advanced functions for selling, buying, and offering, supporting NFTs ERC1155 and other standards based on EVM. The trading statistics were also improved, adding more depth and analytics to the trading processes. In addition, support for all NFT collections on the Astar EVM was introduced and expanded auction mechanisms were introduced.
The third quarter of 2023 marked further expansion of Bluez's capabilities with the power of XVM. Advanced functions for selling, buying, and offering NFTs supporting standards :
- PSP34;
- PSP37.
The resource also began to support multi-currency payments, significantly simplifying the NFT purchasing process. In addition, the possibility of cross-chain NFT purchasing was offered, opening new horizons for users. All these improvements and innovations laid the foundation for further development and innovation on the platform, promising even more interesting opportunities in the future.
Development of the Bluez payment system
Bluez plans to facilitate multi-currency payments, simplifying the NFT purchasing process for users without complex token exchange and cross-chain procedures. By supporting XVM, Bluez provides a more inclusive and accessible NFT trading product, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of the NFT community.
Furthermore, Bluez is focused on building a strong and engaged community, with a range of social features and tools to help users connect and interact with each other. This community-oriented approach lies at the core of Bluez's ethos, with the platform continuously adapting to meet the evolving needs of its users.
The Bluez NFT marketplace is being developed by a group of passionate developers and enthusiasts who have made significant contributions to the Astar ecosystem through their work on other projects. In particular, some of them have built AstridDAO, a multi-collateral stablecoin with high capital efficiency.
The Astar Network is a thriving ecosystem with a wide range of exciting projects in the fields of DeFi, NFT, and DAO. Despite this, the network lacked its own NFT marketplace. This gap in the market motivated the developers behind Bluez to build the first-ever NFT marketplace native to Astar. By doing so, they hope to provide a new, user-friendly platform for buying and selling NFTs on the Astar Network.
Bluez also has ambitious plans to become an NFT entry point for major Japanese corporations. This means that the company aims to become the gateway for these corporations into the world of decentralized applications and blockchain technology.
The team aims to establish strong and fruitful relationships with NFT projects to create a network of mutually beneficial partnerships and drive growth and innovation within the Astar ecosystem.
