Basically, mintbar.xyz is an open source Hedera NFT coin built to accelerate the adoption of the Hedera NFT ecosystem.
Specifically, NFTs based on the HIP-412 standard were recently made interoperable with industry standards so that they can be supported across all marketplaces, while the network now also wants to enable its users to be able to create their own NFTs.
Hedera (HBAR), rather than a Blockchain, is a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graphs)which uses a mathematical and computational construct to create distributed systems and networks, through sequential transactions, thus differing from blockchain technology.
Built for business, its validators are corporations, while funders include giants like Google and IBM. The network can host smart contracts and continues with 10,000 transactions per secondbut most importantly it turns out to be zero effect in terms of energy consumption.
Mintbar is just the first implementation of the NFT Minter application, with hopes for many more to come in the coming months, adding various feature enhancements and a creative UI/UX.
