Curated Art on EOS and WAX

The .gems team is happy to announce the beta launch of the .gems NFT marketplace, a curated environment for high-quality NFT artwork and collectibles. 

With the recent boom of NFTs, the amount of content being published on platforms like AtomicHub has skyrocketed. 

While it’s great to see lots of assets being minted, it’s made it more difficult  to discover the real gems in the space.

While collectibles and game assets flood the market at a rapid pace and dominate the trading volume,  works of art from independent artists trickle in much more slowly and often go unnoticed.

So when browsing a general purpose NFT marketplace, the chances to discover unique artworks is rather small. Talking to many independent artists over the last months, the .gems team identified this as one of the reasons why NFT artists are still hesitating to mint their work on either EOS or WAX.

Not serving the needs of artists would be a huge mistake.

CryptoArt has been the main driver for the growing popularity of NFTs. And curated platforms on Ethereum like SuperRare, KnownOrigin and Nifty Gateway have been hard at work vetting artists to lead up to the tremendous success.

A place like this has been missing in the EOSIO NFT space. Until now.

The .gems marketplace is designed to showcase high resolution artwork by hand selected artists. with a minimal design optimized to let the work itself shine.

We’re happy to invite you for the public beta and will be working on adding new features in the following iterations. 

As our first featured artist we are extremely happy to present Heidi Taillefer, an outstanding artist choosing .gems for her Genesis NFT Drop on the WAX Blockchain.

The “Frogs” Series will be available for purchase on Sunday 19th of September 16:00 UTC.

It features 12 unique artworks in a highly limited edition with a maximum supply of either 1/21 or 1/8.

So set your alarms if you don’t want to not miss out on the frogs.

To learn more about Heidi Taillefer, check out the article introducing the NFT “Frogs” Series or watch the video interview we had with her just a few days ago.

Bake EOS Mooncakes

The Chinese Mid Autumn Festival is coming up on September 21st and the .gems team has something special in the oven to celebrate the occasion.

In the days leading up to the festival, we’ll share a series of free NFT drops for early supporters of our previous EOS NFT releases. That means only collectors who held any of the following collections in their wallets will be whitelisted to participate in the drops:

Spicy Rares, GBK Chestahedrons, Dream BIG and Pomelo NFTs.

Each drop will contain an ingredient needed to bake Mooncake NFTs.

What is a mooncake?

It’s the traditional gift shared among family and friends during the Mid Autumn Festival and for us, it’s a way to say thank you to everyone that collected .gems NFTs.

The blending recipe will go live on the day of the festival and will require the Water, Flour, Nuts and Sugar NFT ingredients to be blended together to create a mooncake.

Join the fun this Chinese Mid Autumn Festival and bake some tasty Mooncakes with the EOS community!

Emanate Native Apps are here!

The Emanate Native App for mobile is available for iOS and Android and introduces fundamental features to lead music streaming into the Play to Earn era. 

Music connoisseurs can now create custom playlists and built up a following, giving early adopters a pretty nice head start to grow their reach on the platform.

And investing some time into music curation might pay off nicely because monetized playlists are planned to go live later this year.

This new feature has the potential to be a major driver for further adoption and a crucial component to the ecosystem, creating a win-win scenario for all participants.

In the background musicians are getting paid directly and almost in real time by Emanate’s smart contract stack on the EOS mainnet, while on the other end listeners can earn by promoting their favourite artists, creating popular playlists or referring Emanate to new users.

With such an innovative incentive structure, Emanate makes centralized streaming platforms look pretty darn outdated.

Besides the launch of the mobile app, the Emanate team has also its 2nd anniversary to celebrate. 

And to honour the occasion they’re hosting a proper metaverse party in Cryptovoxels.

On September 18th, 8 PM ET, they’ll kick it off with an awesome lineup of live performances, EMT token giveaways, a virtual dance floor, and an NFT art gallery.

Find further details regarding this event or Emanate’s mobile app in the announcement article and join Emanate’s brand new Discord server.

There’s plenty in the pipeline for Emanate and to prepare for an increased trading activity Newdex has just added an aggregated orderbook for EMT/EOS on Defibox.

If you are watching us live, Emanate’s Party is actually just a few hours after the Hot Sauce Premiere, so join us in the metaverse to pre-party for Emanate’s event at the Hot Sauce afterparty.
