The Holaplex Marketplace Standard empowers brands and creatives to create marketplaces that they own

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Holaplex, a community of creator-owned NFT storefronts, today announced a full-stack, open-source marketplace standard to replace the closed-source, corporate-controlled markets onSolana. Using the Holaplex NFT Marketplace Standard, any brand, collective, DAO or individual can provide the full NFT marketplace experience unique to their brand, curation, values or strategy.

The Holaplex NFT Marketplace Standard enables creators to easily launch branded, feature-complete marketplaces with no coding required. The Holaplex Marketplace Standard comes with built-in access to the Holaplex Indexer that populates all Solana NFTs in one place simply by adding the creator's wallet address. Once added, collectors can easily sort by attributes and collections from their favorite creatives.

The Holaplex NFT Marketplace Standard utilizesMetaplex's Auction House Contract, an escrow-less listing system. This means NFTs stay in the owner's wallet until sold and do not require the NFT to move into a smart contract vault.Collectors can make and accept offers or list at a fixed price.
The company's open source and on-chain model gives full custody and control to the marketplace operator. Creators not only open their NFTs but finally have ownership of the platform their NFTs and collectors operate on.

"At Jungle Cats, we believe 100% creator-owned, open-source powered marketplaces are the future of NFTs on Solana. By using the Holaplex Marketplace Standard, we have unlocked limitless potential for our project and community thanks to the open, non-extractive ethos the platform offers.As one of the most popular NFT projects on Solana we felt compelled to step forward and encourage every creator, collective and community to support the Holaplex Marketplace Standard." - WAGMI KI,Founder ofJungle Cats

During the public beta, anyone interested in launching their own feature-complete NFT marketplace on Solana should join theHolaplex Community Discord.

"The Holaplex NFT Marketplace Standard was created in response to community demand to put an end to extractive secondary market practices and give creators open-source tools to control their destiny. Community members have full control over their collections; this includes setting transaction fees." -Alex Kehaya, co-founder of Holaplex Community.

Today both NFT creators and collectors are overwhelmed with an onslaught of NFTs that are either irrelevant, directly competitive, or grossly derivative. The Holaplex Marketplace Standard addresses the brand confusion and puts control back in the hands of NFT creators rather than centralized, closed-source marketplaces.

David vs the Virus
"An ode to the year everything changed" - Frank Wilder The story of the underdog is a reoccurring theme throughout history, and perhaps the most famous example is that of David vs Goliath. A tale about perseverance, in which David takes on and defeats the giant warrior using only his smarts and a stone. Famously depicted by Michelangelo's David statue. Fast forward to the present day in 2020 and we as humanity are faced with our own Goliath. An uncontrollable pandemic spread around the globe. Now with the entire planet being affected by this we understand the gravity of the situation at hand, whether it be a virus we’re fighting or other forces at play, there is indeed an energy out to shift the balance of the Universe… Regardless of our differences, in this moment must unite as one. With diligence, trust and belief we as a whole can come together to triumph against "the enemy". Stay vigilant my friends. Original score created by the one and only Phoenix Wilder.
Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great José Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
