Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are the most popular crypto and blockchain concept that resonate with a wide audience. The skyrocketing value of such tokens has attracted a significant number of content creators, collectors, and investors. NFTs generated more than 23 billion USD in trading volume in 2021, according to the DappRadar report, a significant increase over the 100 million USD amount recorded in 2020.
After the massive success of the two most popular 10,000 NFTs collections, CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club, numerous businesses desire to create and generate their own collections with such a large number of NFTs.
Ekotek Technology has promptly developed and designed a solution to help its clients catch up with this trend of creating and minting 10,000 NFTs. Our first success case is to build a minting system for the Starry Trainee project created by NFT Art & Assets.
Starry Trainee – Business Needs
NFT Art & Assets is a Japanese technology company specializing in planning, and managing NFT projects; assisting artists in their sales plan on the NFT market; issuing NFT by license agreement with IP holders.
Their latest project called Starry Trainee is a generative collection of 10,000 unique 1/1 NFTs on the Ethereum Blockchain. This is an attempt to automatically generate images of two-dimensional girl characters -“Bishojyo”, that Japan is proud of, by using AI technology. With GAN technology integrated that applies deep learning as its core, they were able to take a big step into the unexplored territory of humankind.
In the process of building the Starry Trainee project, NFT Art & Assets faced the challenge of building one of the core functions – a system that is capable of minting 10,000 NFTs. Due to the shortage of human resources as well as blockchain expertise, NFT Art & Assets needed to reach out to a developing firm for the optimized solution.
As a close and valued client of Ekotek, NFT Art & Assets’ representative Director Akihisa Ishida has placed high confidence in our work quality and cooperated with us to develop the minting system for its Starry Trainee project.
Minting System Solution
After determining the client’s specific needs, we have designed a specialized minting system for this 10,000 NFTs project using three main technologies: service server API, service worker, and service IPFS.
Furthermore, our system can help generate 6 random images automatically and users can select and mint the character they want as NFT.
Project Results
Owing to Ekotek’s extensive knowledge and experience in developing and delivering white-label blockchain solutions, we have managed to deploy a minting system that can generate a 10,000 NFTs collection within 1 month only.
“We really appreciate Ekotek’ collaboration on our project. Their amazing staff has provided us with great ideas to contribute to the Starry Trainee project. The system’s UI/UX design is very user-friendly. And to top it off, they were always responsive and quick with the delivery. Thanks to the Ekotek team, we were able to launch this project 2 weeks earlier than planned.” Mr. Akihisa Ishida said.
Integrated with perfectly functional systems and technology, the Starry Trainee project is now on air and ready for users to buy unique and exciting NFTs. At the price of 0.05 ETH per trainee NFT, Ekotek has contributed to helping NFT Art & Assets launch a project with a total value of 500 ETH, which is over 1.6 million USD.
