Project updates
Background: Non-Fungible People (NFP) is a project creating 3D animated generative artworks, rendered from a user’s Twitter profile. This allows anyone to lazymint these tokens to others (e.g. to a community). These NFTs can then also unlock content and perks using Mintgate for example.
Updates: NFP is nearing launch and is finalizing the development of the homepage. We can expect a showcase of the user flow in one of the next calls. We’re very excited to see this project launch!! Follow them on Twitter to receive all their updates.
Background: Screensaver.world is an experimental NFT marketplace on Polygon which has joined the Rarible DAO ecosystem following the passing of this grant proposal.
Updates: The team has finalized some designs and is now working with a developer to implement the changes. We will share more on this project soon. We believe it will play an important role in the Rarible ecosystem 👀
