Coinbase Global Inc. is on a mission to make it a breeze to create, buy, advertise and learn about nonfungible tokens – and the company aims to do so by starting a new NFTmarketplaceby the end of the year.

Thecryptocurrencyexchange announced Tuesday that it will be rolling out "Coinbase NFT," which it says will be a "peer-to-peer marketplace that will make minting, purchasing, showcasing, and discovering NFTs easier than ever."

The blog post by Coinbase vice president of product Sanchan Saxena reads, "Just as Coinbase helped millions of people access Bitcoin for the first time in an easy and trusted way — we want to do the same for the NFTs."

NFTs are unique digital tokens that are secured using the same technology behindcryptocurrencies, and the intangible assets have gained in popularity over the past year. They can be works of art, videos, photographs or even memes. But there are far more buyers, so far, than sellers, driving up the price for those seeking to own the tokens either for sentimental or investment reasons.

Part of Coinbase's forthcoming NFT platform is aimed at making it easier for creators to sell their wares, and the exchange makes a direct pitch to artists.

"Creating an NFT should be as simple as tapping a few buttons," the company's announcement states. "Anything more complicated is a barrier to creativity."

"We will make it effortless for artists to maintain creative control through decentralized contracts and metadata transparency," Coinbase vows, saying that "all NFTs are on-chain."

"The initial launch will support Ethereum based ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards with multi-chain support planned soon after," Saxena explains. "We’ll provide the best user experience, but we’ll never lock creators in."

The New York Post pointed out that Coinbase's new venture presents a threat to OpenSea, the largest current marketplace for NFTs and backed by billionaire Mark Cuban.

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
