Playing a powerful role in the Web3 transformation to a decentralized, blockchain-based online environment, NFTs have brought a new paradigm where artists, musicians, and brands can now directly tokenize, own, and transact their creative work via a NFT marketplace utilizing blockchain technology.

As a Cardano NFT marketplace, Fibo leverages Cardano’s third-generation and environmentally-sustainable blockchain that is fast, verifiably secure, and comes with reasonable transaction fees.

Actively involved with the Cardano NFT and broader crypto community, New Mindflow is a team of filmmakers, photographers, entrepreneurs & multidisciplinary artists, that usually refers to themselves as “one artist in two bodies.”

As the well-known authors of “Trybbles”, an individually handcrafted trading card NFT collection featuring the cutest and most adorable space robots and of “Icons”, the first Cardano collection with an NFT transacted through a smart contract. The open-source smart contract was fully embedded on-chain and also paid a royalty to New Mindflow once successfully executed.

New Mindflow’s aptly named Fibo NFT drop “The GM Collection” is about a state of mind, an attitude, a feeling, and a projection towards your fellow travelers upon the beginning or morning of this wonderful journey.

“In February of last year, when we found out NFTs were about to become a reality on Cardano, we were immediately drawn to the space as at that point we were already aware of Cardano and felt in sync with its broader vision and foundations. We’ve been active in the CNFT community ever since, as well as the larger Cardano/Catalyst communities.” – New Mindflow

3) CryptoBasho – Democratizing the world of anime

CryptoBasho envisions building an ecosystem where innovative digital assets are designed and created to sponsor the next generation of anime/manga-inspired artists and works.

CryptoBasho’s NFT drop on Fibo “CryptoBashō” is a generative manga-style of Profile-Picture (PFP) NFTs inspired by Matsuo Bashō, a real historical figure born in Ueno, Japan in 1644 to a family of samurai descent. CryptoBashō is a representation of Bashō in our modern day, traveling throughout the African continent on a mission to find, inspire and support local artists dreaming of creating and telling meaningful stories as manga and/or anime series.

“As a concept, NFTs are revolutionary in my opinion with respect to the ownership of the digital aspect of it and everything else that surrounds it. As an artist, it’s really an another way to communicate to a community.” – Davansh Atry
