Its minimum viable product offers multiple NFT auctions with test MIOTA tokens. At press time, dozens of NFTs by 16 artists are available for bidding on the markeplace's website.

Also, NFT minting and promotion are available for everyone in IOTA 2.0 devnet. IOTA Foundation welcomes this community-driven initiative and stresses the exclusiveness of IOTA DLT as a platform for NFT-focused initiatives:

IOTA, The Most Accessible DLT Network for NFTs

The feeless procedure of NFT creation and offering, plus its high energy efficiency, are two killing features of NFT Marketplace on IOTA.

More decentralization to come

Meanwhile, more advances will be unveiled in IOTA's NFT Marketplace very soon. Namely, it will switch from a centralized bidding mechanism to a decentralized one.

Also, the payment system of the marketplace will be powered by real mainnet MIOTA tokens.

Cypher::Prophet
Cypher::Prophet is an artwork dedicated to the punk origins of blockchain designed and realized by hackatao and hex6c. In the transposition into images we started from the iconographic canons of the hacker (hoodie, laptop, cryptographic elements) and associated them with the figure of the prophet, thus highlighting the predictive nature of the works of Eric Hughes (Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1988) and Timothy C. May (Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, 1993) as well as of the blockchain inventors Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta (How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document, The Journal of Cryptography, 1991).

If you dig through our archives, you'll find many of them and can see exactly how we change over time. Sam Gorski, Creator | I wanted to find the oldest scan of myself and put him side-by-side with Sam from the present. While it is hard to look at it and not miss the years past, at the same time, this gives me hope for the future by embracing and cherishing the change in my life. How would I have gotten this far without him? About This Piece | Sam on the left was captured in 2014, while Sam on the right was captured last week (2021). This work represents the personal, creative, and emotional journey in all of us, and the hope that ourselves tomorrow may be better than ourselves today.
