KodaDot is an open NFT marketplace created on the Polkadot network. The project's goal is to create a universal platform for collaboration where creators, developers, and community members can unite to shape the future of NFTs on Polkadot.
The Development History of KodaDot
One of the co-founders of KodaDot, yangWao, discovered the potential of the Polkadot ecosystem while researching Substrate. He decided to delve deeper and created a web-based Subket. With this tool, users could:
- Create a Substrate account with a mnemonic and hex seed phrase;
- Load their account;
- Sign data;
- Verify signatures.
During his project, yangWao faced challenges and identified a lack of resources for Vue native developers in the Polkadot ecosystem. To address this problem, he joined forces with co-founder Viki and created a resource that includes libraries, utilities, and Vue.js classes. Their work received a grant in 2019.
Despite the success, yangWao and Viki wanted to make their creation more practical and useful for themselves. They tried different ideas, such as automated registration and visualizing blockchain blocks in AR/VR. However, these projects did not meet their expectations for continuous innovation and community collaboration.
Afterwards, the creators studied and understood the flexibility of Substrate data. The duo created the RMRK.app NFT reader, which became popular in the crypto community. This success inspired them to develop KodaDot, and after applying for the status of an NFT explorer, it became the first public good in the Dotsama ecosystem.
