what's objkt?
objkt is a leading NFT marketplace built on the Tezos blockchain, designed to empower artists and collectors in the digital art space. Launched in 2021, it provides tools for creators to mint, curate, and sell NFTs directly on-chain, emphasizing low fees, environmental sustainability due to Tezos' energy-efficient proof-of-stake mechanism, and community-driven features. Users can create collections via smart contracts, filter artworks by attributes like editions or tags, and participate in galleries or residencies that foster artistic experimentation. The platform supports a wide range of digital media, from generative art to photography and animations, with over two million tokens indexed. It integrates Tezos' native token XTZ for transactions, enabling seamless primary and secondary market activities. objkt also extends beyond trading by hosting events, bakeries for staking, and collaborations with galleries, making it a hub for the Tezos NFT ecosystem. Key mechanics include direct minting into user-deployed smart contracts, royalty enforcement on resales, and advanced search filters to discover hidden gems. This decentralized approach ensures creators retain control and collectors access verifiable provenance, promoting a fair and transparent art market on blockchain.
