The popular Solana crypto and NFT wallet, Phantom, has unveiled a trailblazing feature dubbed ‘Camera Mint’, marking a significant step towards making NFT creation easily achievable with a simple touch.

Although numerous platforms enable NFT trading and collecting, the ability to seamlessly create NFTs and permanently save such digital assets has been a challenge. Compellingly, this is where ‘Camera Mint’ shines — a game-changing feature bridging this gap.

Don’t just collect NFTs…

CREATE them.

Phantom’s Seamless NFT Minting Process 

Camera Mint simplifies NFT creation, enabling even the least tech-savvy individuals to turn their media into Solana-centric NFTs effortlessly. Not only does this feature represent a revolutionary leap, but it lowers the hurdles of creating NFTs — and potentially profitable ones. 

In the past, curating NFTs provided the need for a desktop computer and sometimes a third-party service. Not anymore. Phantom has brought minting capabilities to users’ pockets, freeing NFT creators from such constraints through seamless integration capabilities via Phantom’s mobile app. 

All users need to do is upload a photo, video, or even meme or tweet (the options are limitless) from their camera roll. Then, once adding a name and description to their chosen digital file, it will turn into a Solana NFT through one simple tap. Owing to the Solana blockchain’s stellar scalability, the minting process takes less than two seconds. Better still, this service falls short of a dollar. 

Additionally, Phantom thoughtfully organizes all NFT collections within its app’s ‘Collectibles’ tab, easing accessibility for users — a particularly handy tool when on the go. 

Camera Mint’s Bonus Features

Beyond crafting visually appealing files into digital assets, Camera Mint opens another NFT realm: personal memories. Users can store their most memorable moments on the blockchain eternally, giving conventional memory-keeping a modern twist. Through this pioneering feature, the blockchain becomes a timeless hub of life’s critical milestones. 

On top of that, it offers advanced metadata options and potential alliances with creative platforms, and is sweetening the deal by dishing out complimentary commemorative NFTs to users testing out Camera Mint for the first time. These collectibles serve as an incentive, as well as a keepsake for those taking on this transformative solution. 

Camera Mint opens up numerous horizons for users wanting to partake in the NFT race, whether new to the industry or seasoned creators. So, try out this intriguing new feature to begin minting NFTs directly from your mobile device hassle-free.

Despite playing a pivotal role in the evolution of generative and dynamic art within the Web3 realm, Async Art has sadly revealed its decision to wind down operations. The company closes at this year’s end.

Async Art’s CEO, Conlan Rios, shared the news about Async calling it quits through a series of tweets, expressing his gratitude for everyone who has been a part of its remarkable journey. Leaving on a positive note, he reaffirmed his continued enthusiasm for digital assets and the Web3 community’s creative pursuits:

This has been an amazing journey thus far and I thank everyone who’s traveled with us. Personally, I’m not going anywhere and I remain bullish as ever on digital assets. I hope to continue celebrating what you all continue to make, build, and collect

— Conlan Rios (conlan.eth) (@conlan) October 23, 2023

Wrapping Up a Remarkable Journey

Since its inception in February 2020, Async has been a driving force for creative pursuits through Async.Market — a one-stop shop for unique art and music experiences on the blockchain, empowering creators globally.

Async.Market is best known for its Blueprints system that enables the creation of generative NFTs without the need for coding expertise, crafting famous artworks like ‘Grifters’ by XCOPY and Coldie’s ‘DecentralEyesMashup’. Nonetheless, the marketplace will cut off purchases at the end of 2023 and no longer accept new submissions.

Async NFTs, however, will continue being accessible on the blockchain and InterPlanetary File System. On top of that — valuing the interactive nature of Async assets — the team has pledged to potentially launch a simplified viewer in the coming months to ensure its distinctive and captivating art items remain accessible to fans. 

Since Async pieces are dynamic, interaction requires a front-end website and user interface. Our team will make an effort to see if we can launch a simplified viewer in coming months.

— Async Art (@AsyncArt) October 23, 2023

Additionally, Async emphasized that the company’s closure does not mean the end of the generative and dynamic art movement that it aided, tweeting, “We’re confident that this movement will live on through the spirit of Web3 builders and creators,” before expressing sincere appreciation for its vibrant community of artists, collectors and partners.

Although the chapter is closing for Async, the legacy it leaves behind significantly entails artists’ empowerment, innovations, and the utmost importance of community on-chain.

The post Pioneering Creator Platform ‘Async Art’ Closes Operations appeared first on NFT Plazas.

Set to make waves in both the art and marine world, Hawai’i born artist Jana Ireijo is launching her genesis environmental-focused dynamic NFT collection – “Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean”. This collection benefits Fish Pono – Save Our Reefs, a Hawai’i-based initiative dedicated to restoring Hawai’i’s coral reefs through a meaningful fundraiser beginning on October 25, 6 pm Hawai’i Standard Time.

Trained in fine art, Jana Ireijo has masterfully hand-painted each design on canvas before digitally replicating it into a CryptoArt collection of 60 dynamic NFTs to provide financial support for Hawai’i’s oceans. 

Shaped by three distinctive designs — ‘Moemoeā’, ‘Pilina, As Above So Below’, and ‘Stay Wild, Uluwehi’ — the project cleverly reflects the ever-changing conditions in Hawai’i’s marine realm and its effects on aquatic life to raise a potent environmental message: “By living pono, in balance with nature, we will ensure healthy reefs, abundant with life for our future ʻohana.” “Pono”, in the Hawai’ian language, refers to “righteousness and balance”.

Each NFT purchase donates 20% towards aiding Fish Pono-Save Our Reef in its educational campaign to encourage responsible fishing and enable more effective coral reef conservation. Additionally, all Vanishing Murals NFT holders will enjoy exclusive offerings and experiences and become esteemed members of a thoughtful community of dedicated ocean advocates.

CryptoArt that Answers to Nature

Incredibly, the images of Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean NFTs aptly illustrate the concept of “vanishing”. When oceanic temperatures rise or fall to risky levels, the graphic gently fades away. Inversely, as sea temperature levels return to optimal range, the NFTs come back to life as the images resurface, intriguingly reflecting the well-being of Hawai’i’s ocean. 

Vanishing Murals’ captivating CryptoArt is made possible through cutting-edge blockchain technology and environmental data. Notably, it sources live data from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) — a trustworthy source that provides accurate and reliable ocean and coastal information, tools, and services.

By intelligently converging art, technology, science, and environmental advocacy, the Vanishing Murals’ NFTs illustrate a new frontier of interactive and meaningful virtual artistry.

Collective Efforts for Marine Conservation 

Alongside Vanishing Murals’ Ireijo, Fish Pono-Save Our Reefs’s ambassador and artist Mark Cunningham as well as numerous makers have joined forces to bring this charitable endeavor to life. These creative minds include green-minded Alohi Kai Jewelry by The Sea, Kōkua Sun Care — the creators of reef-safe sunscreens — and Nadia Fairlamb, a Waimanalo-raised artist who specializes in wood and mirror works. 

The Vanishing Murals NFT project harbors ambitions of strengthening extra bonds with like-minded individuals to create more innovative, ocean-conscious products in the future. Its ultimate goal is to inspire a broader community dedicated to cherishing and preserving our aquatic realms through collaborations, contributions and fundraising initiatives.

NFT Packages with a Charitable Mission 

The NFT packages include three tiers: ‘Super Collector’, which encompasses a dynamic NFT and the original 16 x 16” canvas painting for approximately $929 (0.6 ETH), with the ‘Collector’ tier granting the NFT and a limited edition print for $418 (0.27 ETH). The ‘Supporter’ tier provides the digital asset alone for roughly $201 (0.13 ETH). Once a Vanishing Murals Hawai’i Ocean collectible is minted, ownership information about the NFT will be stored on the Ethereum blockchain for security and immutability. 

So, join this movement that blends CryptoArt and environmental advocacy to partake in the all-important mission of safeguarding Hawai’i’s coral reefs and marine ecosystem. Contribute toward preserving our maritime world and join a vibrant community determined to build a future with ecological integrity. 

The Vanishing Murals: Hawai’i Ocean NFT collection will drop on October 25, Wednesday at 6 pm, Hawai’i Standard Time.

Tech-art venture Artfi — democratizing art ownership through blockchain and NFTs — recently announced the public release of its Genesis Pass NFTs alongside teasing debuting officially. 

Artfi is getting set to spearhead access to premium artworks for a broader spectrum of art enthusiasts. By fractionalizing esteemed artworks on the Polygon network, collectors can easily garner ownership and liquidity of famous masterpieces more affordably.  

We’re bringing #fineart to the blockchain and democratizing the art world by creating a world where there are zero barriers to entry, round-the-clock liquidity, and complete transparency. Are you ready for this revolution? #artfi #Art #investing pic.twitter.com/mX1Pwy4mX3

Genesis Pass NFT holders will be at the front of the line for fractionalized art in the Artfi ecosystem. Piloted by Sachi Jafri’s celebrated ‘The Six Elements’ collection gearing up this thought-provoking initiative, more than 25,000 individuals have already joined the Genesis waitlist. 

The Impact of Sachi Jafri’s ‘Six Elements’

Surpassingly, Jafri’s The Six Elements artworks consist of six physical paintings, not just digital creations. The project, inspired by elements like Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Air and Humanity, is exclusively Jafri’s handiwork, regardless of his significant history of collaborations — one of which involves six artworks of elements created for the famed automaker Rolls Royce. 

A limited amount of 10,000 Genesis Pass NFTs will be up for grabs, enabling up to 10,000 individuals to have a stake in the collection (regardless of its waitlist being significantly over), gain early access to Artfi’s editions of tomorrow, and receive a complimentary token airdrop as a gesture of goodwill. 

Considering that Jafri’s ‘Journey of Humanity’ canvas is among the top three highest prices ever paid for an artwork by a living artist — auctioned at a mighty $62 million in 2021 following several months of craftsmanship — this is a must-grab opportunity. 

Holding a Genesis Pass NFT is more than a step into the future of art ownership; it is a unique opportunity to become part of an innovative moment in the legacy of art.

The curated marketplace celebrated for making art more easily accessible, Avant Arte, joins forces with Yuga Labs to bring all CryptoPunks into the physical art realm through two limited-edition tangible prints: ‘10,000 On Chain’ and ‘Punk On-Chain’.

Printmaker maestros at London’s ‘Make-Ready’ are preparing to craft the Avant Arte CryptoPunks prints meticulously, available for just 48 hours from October 26 for €600 a piece.

The tangible 10,000 On Chain artwork showcases all 10,000 Punks in one singular 60cm x 60cm UV pigment print, sealed with silkscreen matte varnish. Available for anyone and everyone, collectors will receive both a physical and digital certification to boost the value and nature of these artworks.

Punk On-Chain, however, is an exclusive opportunity for CryptoPunks holders only, commissioning physical 40cm x 40cm prints of Punks to already existing on-chain owners who are interested.

Straight from the blockchain… Excited to bring @cryptopunksnfts to the broader collector community in partnership with @avant_arte. https://t.co/yiZcBQFKAV

CryptoPunks in the Tangible Art World

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time these pixelated Punks have found themselves being explored and appreciated in the real world. To bring its NFTs into contemporary art museums, Yuga Labs kindly handed CryptoPunk #305 to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, in November 2022 as part of its ‘Punks Legacy Project’. 

Expanding the reach of CryptoPunks’ heritage initiative, Yuga Labs similarly gifted the hub to Europe’s most extensive collection of modern and contemporary art, the Centre Pompidou, CryptoPunk #110. Consequently, the art institution began spotlighting the NFT as part of its intriguing blockchain-based exhibition called ‘Policies of the Immaterial: From Certificate to Blockchain’, which is still viewable to this day, alongside other OG collectibles like Autoglyph #25.

Ever since the worldwide media declared the ‘death of NFTs’ they have officially become cool enough for the serious art crowd. The latest proof of this comes as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has unveiled its new ‘Postcards’ NFT project.

In a bid to get artists experimenting with NFT technology, MoMA has found a novel way to spark dialogue and participation. As a result, it has come up with the MoMA Postcards initiative that invites artists to engage in a collaborative digital art project. Effectively, leveraging the lightning fast Tezos blockchain to make the project come to life.

In essence, a lead artist must come up with a theme, and send a digital chain letter NFT to a contemporary. This selected individual must then create a small NFT stamp that reflects the theme previously set out, before passing it on to the next artist. Once all 15 stamps have been filled, MoMA will then display all 15 miniature artworks as a singular NFT postcard.

MoMA Kicks off its Postcards collection in Style

MoMA has announced that it will role out its Postcards initiative far and wide later in October. However, to get the ball rolling, it first enlisted 15 prominent digital artists to create the first set of postcards. This involved each artist setting a theme, then each of their fellow creators taking it in turn to submit their own digital stamp. This esteemed group of early experimenters includes the likes of Dmitri Cherniak, Kim Asendorf, IX Shells, p1xelfool, among others.

Undisputed star of the NFT show, Mike Winkelman, aka Beeple, has reached another tremendous milestone in his artistic journey. On October 5, his infamous Everydays project hit the 6000 mark, adding another 1000 pieces since his $69 million NFT sale.

Way back in the long-forgotten realm of 2006, the little known and not entirely talented artist made a pledge to create a new artwork every day. This then blossomed into a gargantuan collection, as come rain or shine, Mr. Beeple stuck true to his word and published his daily creations via his Twitter account.

Since then, Beeple’s mammoth task has enabled him to develop from a mediocre artist to a full-blown legitimate talent. Essentially, providing him with the motivation to hone his skills and master the art of digital image creation. Now, over 16 years on, he has become one of the prominent contemporary artists in operation, and regularly garners millions of dollars for his art.

The Art that Sparked a Revolution

Beeple arguably kickstarted the modern NFT trend back in March 2021, when he minted the first 5000 pieces in his Everydays project as a single NFT which eventually sold for $69 million. This had the knock-on effect of bringing NFTs firmly into the limelight, where their gained some serious media coverage. What then followed will go down in history as the era where NFTs became the most talked about technological advancement of the time.

Since then, anyone could have forgiven Beeple for stepping back from Everydays after his first 5000 artworks made bank. However, completely unwavered by the gargantuan piles of cash, the eminent artist continues to publish a new creation every single day!

In the realm of NFT projects, Umoja stands tall with a noble mission — to impact lives that need it the most. It’s not just another blockchain-based venture but a cause-advocating initiative that creates art to make life-changing differences.

Kicking off on November 28, Umoja’s unconventional approach involves working hand in hand with three volunteers and seventeen children from Uganda’s Dasom Ministries Orphanage alongside anyone else in need. The charitable NFT endeavor can assist up to fifty children daily. 

Bridging Dreams and Reality via Umoja NFT Art

The artworks perfectly capture the dreams of those in need by creating their imaginations through AI. With translating assistance, the children tell the Umoja team what it is they imagine. Their positive thoughts are then brought to life as one-of-a-kind digital masterpieces, presenting examples of artistry like the celebrated ‘The Opportunity’, ‘Fountain of Youth’, and ‘A Playful Dusk’.

Funds garnered through the Umoja NFT art items aid toward basic needs to help these young individuals in crisis build a brighter future, providing them with education and essentials like clothing, food, water and medicine.

Additionally, the proceeds strengthen the Ugandan orphanage to become self-sustainable for much-needed higher living standards.

Umoja’s Technical Prowess Aiding Real-World Change 

Bringing these life-altering digital artworks to life, Umoja has a clear and straightforward smart contract in place. Following the orphans’ AI prompts for creation, all inventions are transformed into NFTs on the Ethereum network.

When someone acquires an art piece, the smart contract validates the transaction, ensuring rightful ownership of each creation. Operating as the custodial entity, Umoja allocates the funds from the NFT sales to aid the orphanage and individuals facing hardships, bringing meaningful real-world value to each contribution.

Through Umoja’s unique commitment and approach to positive change, the NFT project serves as an example of how digital art can provide support, hope, and a more fulfilling future for all.

So, join Umoja to become more than an art investor and assist toward achieving dreams and the betterment of lives.
