“Since 2011, our mission has been to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies with a secure platform that both protects client funds and offers a comprehensive range of products and services,” said Jesse Powell, co-founder and CEO of Kraken. “We were the first major exchange to list ether and recognize the promise of the non-fungible space. As a secure gateway complete with curated collections and a host of unique features, we believe Kraken NFT will be the destination of choice for collectors from all backgrounds to explore and interact with the NFT ecosystem.”

At launch, Kraken NFT will feature a curated offering ofover 110 of the highest-trading-volume NFT collectionsin the market today. Supported collections pass a thorough and comprehensive vetting procedure, with new collections added regularly. Collectors can also access the NFT screener tool onCryptowatchto track real-time NFT market data, average sale price and in-depth statistics for hundreds of different collections.

With the aim of creating the most seamless and well-thought-out user experience in the space today, Kraken NFT includes:

  • Zero gas fees: Collectors can buy and sell NFTs held on Kraken without clogging up the underlying blockchain network and incurring sky-high network gas fees. Collectors can easily trade on the marketplace even during peak network activity.
  • Creator earnings: A portion of the value of eligible NFTs sold on our marketplace goes back to the original content creator, rewarding ongoing creativity and invention within the space.
  • Rarity ranking: All supported collections have an accompanying rarity ranking so collectors can better assess how rare an individual NFT may be, informing a potential bid or offer.
  • 200+ funding options: Kraken NFT clients can list or offer an NFT in any of the fiat or cryptocurrencies supported on the platform. Right now, NFTs can be traded in 8 fiat currencies and well over 200 cryptocurrencies.

Kraken NFT’s whitelisted collections will begin with those built on Ethereum and Solana. Support for other blockchains will be added in the near future.

The River Plate Machine
Digital illustration for the cover of These Football Times magazine in its issue dedicated to the Argentine football team "Club Atlético River Plate". Original from 2020. For this cover I have created a complex machine that links all the generations and legends of the club with its great shield and emblem crowning the center as the heart of the fantasy machinery. Full of details and ornaments this is a highly detailed work. An authentic trip to the history of River through the imagination and the colors of the club. The most significant titles of the club are also included, such as the Libertadores Cup, the famous Intercontinental and the new Super Liga and the Argentine Cup in its newest cup design. If you see a hen, don't be surprised, it is the nickname that its fans give themselves, and they like it. ----- https://javierarres.com/about.html
“Galactic Tribal Mother and Child"
Her magnificent life state reflects tenacious resolve and unwavering determination. Long ago this intergalactic tribal goddess vowed she would manifest global peace. Her single-minded perseverance most assuredly protects her child and the future of humankind. Her relentless resolve can overpower the massive evil of countless despotic, egotistic, narcissistic rulers across endless galaxies. My image was initiated using Dream Studio, a futurist platform I commandeered to create this hypnotic, AI-generated iteration via otherworldly descriptive text commands. Notwithstanding such wizardry, deeper levels of empowerment have emerged. Please let your aspirations blast forward.
