The NEAR Foundation announces partnership with Few and Far to expand the NEAR NFT ecosystem
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, Sept. 8, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Few and Far, the next-generation NFT marketplace built on the NEAR protocol, has been awarded a grant from the NEAR Foundation and a partnership to increase the advancement of NFT -is across the ecosystem. The announcement comes on the heels of the highly anticipated NEARCON event in Lisbon, Portugal, 11-14 September.
In the coming months, Few and Far will support the growth and development of NFT projects within NEAR, working closely with the team to provide world-class launch capabilities to support the adoption of top brands and major IPs from Web2 to Web3.
The team will also collaborate with NFT Vision Group, a dedicated team focused on NFT growth within NEAR, to spearhead NFT smart contract standardization, liquidity and blockchain indexing solutions. The partnership focuses on a joint go-to-market strategy to bring new communities and businesses into the NEAR ecosystem by launching at Few and Far.
“We are thrilled to support Few and Far’s mission to provide seamless NFT minting solutions and an easy-to-use marketplace for the NEAR ecosystem and beyond,” said Robbie Lim, GM, Partners & International at NEAR. “The NEAR Foundation embraces the digital asset revolution and the importance of laying the foundation for web3 gaming, the metaverse economy and much more.”
Minting digital assets and crypto collectibles on NEAR provides significant added value to end users who wish to create, buy, sell and auction NFTs. NEAR Protocol fees are usually 38 hundred percent lower than Ethereum’s. For example, the cost of transferring an ERC-20 token is under $0.01, while for Ethereum (at 50 Gwei and an ETH price of $3000) it is around $5.40. NEAR is also capable of handling up to 100,000 transactions per second, compared to Ethereum’s blockchain which currently only processes 13.
“Building a next-generation NFT marketplace will enable more users and creators to participate in Web3 by benefiting from a premium user experience, low fees and fast transactions. NEAR’s easy-to-use web wallets, which require no downloads or plug-ins, and Aurora Bridge, will enable Ethereum users to easily convert their holdings to NEAR.” said Chris Gale, co-founder of Few and Far. “Soon, access to NEAR NFTs will be just a few clicks away on our marketplace, and the integration of fiat on and off ramps into our app will enable people to buy NFTs with just a credit card.”
NEAR and Few and Far agree that NFTs will be the future of digital asset ownership and a critical path to bring the next 1 billion users into the Web3. In the coming months, Few and Far will expand its NFT marketplace to facilitate the growth of the NEAR blockchain through the partnership.
