# Introducing Mintee.
An all in one NFT art market solution seeking to empower the NFT art community as a whole.
## The current problems with NFT Markets.
There are many issues within the NFT market space at the current time. The most obvious of which lies within the Ethereum network based markets, mainly being the extremely high gas fees to use the network at current time. While some networks have already solved this problem for the NFT space by implementing markets on the Tezos & Ravencoin blockchains as well as private sellers making use of the Cardano network, this has done little to fill in other gaps and create a single well rounded market that will bring NFT art markets to the mainstream art world. This is not to bring hate upon a single market place that has launched or to say that they have failed in some way. Places such as [] & [] are certainly pioneers in this industry and have continued to develop and innovate their platforms since launch and we respect all those trailblazers who have come before us greatly.
However there is still a great deal lacking from the space that we would like to see addressed and have been working in the background on solving some of these issues. Some of these issues includes very basic market designs with no ability to sort search or filter; read tags, categorize art by genre, artist, collection, or type; royalties are lost if token is removed from market place; tokens attached to market not wallet, issues with hidden/locked content, current smart contracts are not built for digital tokenized art assets & inability to transact between market places.
Many markets have only addressed one or a small portion of the issues, however those that have begun to work on improving the market place have made great headway and created valuable contributions to the community. However the majority of these solutions are relying on single technologies in a race to the top to secure that top spot of one blockchain being the go to for NFTs. Currently we see Ethereum dominate the market, and Tezos, Cardano & Ravencoin all competing to overthrow Ethereum as king of the NFT market.
## The Mintee Solution.
We are looking to create an NFT art market that encompasses all types, styles & genres of art. This ranges from visual art to both digital and tokenized analogue art. The marketplace is able to create a profile with wallets from various blockchains that support NFT tokens. This profile will be tied to the wallet address and able to interlink with wallets for other blockchains. The artist will be able to mint any NFT token on any of the blockchains supported by the platform; which are currently Cardano Tezos & Ravencoin. The artist profile will be able to be sectioned off by art type, genre, and collection. This will function as a permanent artist gallery to display the artist work for life while linking to the transaction history of the token. Each section of the gallery can be hidden at the discretion of the artist.
The front page of the market place will allow collectors to explore art broken down by types, styles and genres; that will change out which types of art are displayed on top via a random rotation schedule controlled by an algorithm. Each section will highlight new works from artists in its category selected completely at random from profiles that have not sold work yet, as well as a section to highlight top artists in the category. Collectors will also be able to fully explore each section and sort artists based upon popularity, new works, undiscovered artists, and search via tags. We aim to be able to let the collectors have more control to fine tune their searches to find the art that fits their taste. This is inline with our goal to see more power to art creators and collectors both.

We need a few more devs for this market place that is taking a slightly different approach to markets as a whole. Check out the doc and make contact if you are interested in working with on us on this.
