Well, I'm really excited to announce that tribaldex.com allows users to mint NFTs! Previously you could shop through the various NFT projects already built on Hive-Engine, but you couldn't actually mint anything. Now you can mint NFTs.
Why would I mint NFTs here?
There are a few other sites we've created and that third party developers have created to mint NFTs, but so far they are fairly specific. Lensy.io is for photography, nftshowroom.com is for art, and games like DCity mint NFTs specifically for their game. There's not a great place to mint recipes, family photos, silly dances, or whatever else the human collective wants to create and store. For that reason if you have NFTs that don't fit in elsewhere here's a great place to do it.
What does it cost to mint NFTs here?
Well, before you get started you a one time registration fee of 100 BEE. This allows us to whitelist (allowlist) your account. From there you have the ability to mint new NFTs. The first of an edition costs 10 SWAP.Hive to mint, and additional editions (prints) costs 2 SWAP.HIVE each.
Can you take my NFT down from the backend?
No, these are decentralized blockchain based NFTs. Only getting the majority of top witnesses to hardfork to specifically remove your NFTs will get them off the platform and then tribaldex.com has to follow that fork. I don't see that happening just for your NFT... so I'm going with "no."
Can these be taken down from tribaldex.com?
Yes, your freedom of speech and ownership is protected on the decentralized backend, but tribaldex.com is a private front-end. This means we have some discretion in terms of what we show. In our case if you're minting things that involve people and don't have their consent your token could be taken down, if you're inciting violence your token could be taken down, if your work involves sexual content of minors it'll be taken down. If the cases are egregious we'll blacklist (denylist) you and your work will be removed from the front and and you won't be allowed to post anymore.
Will these show up in the rotation of NFTs?
YES! Your work will be rotated in and people will be able to purchase them directly on the site. Each will have it's own link too so you can shill your stuff on social media.
Are there gas fees?
NO! There's a minting (10 Hive then 2 there after) fee and a market fee (10%), but there's no gas fee. So, you don't have to worry about minting a $20 piece of art with a $120 gas fee! Hooray!
What's coming next?
Next up we're working on deploying the pack manager contract. This will allow users to put out entire sets. So, go ahead and get your HivePunks ready. Make twerking frogs. Get your game packs ready for sale. You'll be able to mint packs and have people get a subsection of the collection in each pack. Powerful stuff!
This is expected to take 1-2 weeks. So... you may not want to delay and be one of the first ones out there.
What's after pack manager?
Well, the whole goal is to get to tribes 2.0. So, we need to add blogging to tribaldex. That's a big project, but after that we can start forking tribaldex and allowing tribes to get their own version of the website rolling out. Have your own dex interface, have your own pools, have your own NFTs, sell your own packs. You're gonna have so much power in your hands!!!
