Web3 education platform Curious Addys and non-fungible token (NFT) educator Zeneca are teaming up to roll out HeyMint, a beginner NFT platform designed to help creators build their first collection.
With the goal of easing the minting process for creators and onboarding newcomers to Web3, HeyMint aims to be an accessible, equitable, and low-cost creative tool. Creators can upload their artistic assets, choose their preferred blockchain, create a presale list, and enforce royalties. HeyMint currently supports Ethereum and three Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains: Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
Makers pay no fees to list their collections and collectors pay $1 per coin.
Curious Addys CEO Mai Akiyoshi told CoinDesk that creators need tools that welcome them into the Web3 space instead of alienating them through complicated processes.
“The main problem we saw is that creating smart contracts is very difficult and even NFT standards like ERC-721 or 1055 are really standardized,” says Akiyoshi. “We have a lot of experience educating people in our community and we want to bring in more people who are not familiar with NFTs.”
Curious Addys and Zeneca have already collected $5 million from their own NFT collections and have collaborated with notable brands such as Universal Music Group and the World of Women NFT collection. Zeneca previously founded Zen Academy, an online course to bring new NFT collectors to Web3.
