The Next Wave of NFTs Is Here: They’re Called Social NFTs

Social NFTs are a brand new category within the NFT market.

As such, the huge existing platforms like OpenSea and Rarible aren’t suited for influencers and their fans.

They’re overwhelming and aren’t made for social content. Plus, they’re expensive: you have to pay “gas fees” just to list or sell an item because these platforms use the Ethereum blockchain.

Luckily, there’s an alternative to the chaos.

Enter Melon.ooo — the NFT platform for creators and fans.

What’s Melon, you ask?

• A place to browse your favorite creators’ NFTs.
• A marketplace to trade creator NFTs and redeem exclusive rewards.
• The simplest way for creators and fans to enter the world of NFTs.

A place to browse your favorite creators’ NFTs

To start with, Melon makes it super easy to discover NFTs from top creators.

The site has a “Featured Creators” and “Featured NFT Items” section, so you can search for your favorite influencers or scan through what’s on offer:

You can also use the “Explore” feature to filter what type of social NFTs you’re looking for — such as Art, Fashion, or Gaming.

Or choose specific platforms like YouTube or TikTok, and you’ll see social content from these platforms in NFT form:

On top of that, each creator on Melon has their own custom collection page which they can easily share across socials. Every creator on Melon is personally onboarded; this ensures the content they choose to turn into NFTs is authentic and they have the rights to it.

Melon then takes a copy of that content, so that it lives on forever even if it’s removed from its original platform (or the platform itself shuts down, like Vine did).

Likewise, fans have their own page where they can show off their NFT collection.

A marketplace to trade creator NFTs and redeem exclusive rewards

Once you see an NFT you like, you can purchase it right from the site with various cryptocurrencies at a very low fee (2.5% only) and, soon, with the $melon token (with 0 fees).

When you click on any NFT, you’ll see its unique details:

• Description: what the NFT is about, and whether any exclusive benefits are attached to it.
• Owner: shows the creator and current owner of the asset (so you can verify the original owner is indeed the influencer).
• History: shows when the asset was first created and any changes in price.
• Info: the unique asset ID and metadata (the string of code that authenticates each NFT).

Then, click “Buy” and connect your MetaMask wallet to purchase the item.

The simplest way for creators and fans to enter the world of NFTs

Melon is the simplest way to get involved with NFTs, hands down.

The interface is simple and the site is super easy to use. It’s built with influencers and their fans in mind; even those who are new to crypto.

Don’t believe me? Here’s how easy it is to mint your own NFTs on Melon:

Melon is set to become the “NBA Top Shot” of socials, hands down.

I can’t wait to see the platform go live over the coming month.
