Weekly News

Mint with Lightning!

For starters, we have a really exciting development to announce...we're proud to be the first NFT platform on Stacks to enable minting with bitcoin via the Lightning network!

Unfortunately, there are no Roots left to mint...but keep a vigilant eye out on our Twitter account for announcements of more collections you can mint with Lightning!

Check out our blog post for more information on how you can mint with bitcoin Lightning later on (or even USD over the Lightning network!).

The Mintery

We're so excited to announce our partnership with The Mintery, a new 30-day NFT launchpad program for artists to curate, market, and launch their very own NFT collection with all the funding and mentorship they need to get a jumpstart.

Curious about creating an NFT collection? Here's why you should do it on Stacks:

• Settled on Bitcoin — this means your NFTs are secured by the original, decentralized blockchain network.

• Low gas fees — low gas means more accessibility in participation.

• Efficient — your transactions don't require any extra energy expenditure due to its efficient use of bitcoin blockspace.
