What is the Hyprr NFT Platform?

The Hyprr NFT platform is where you can mint, buy and sell digital creations in the form of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The Hyprr NFT Platform is built on powerful Blockchain technology which provides creators with a transparent creative space to capture and present their digital expressions. We want to empower emerging creators to share their creative visions in an environmentally conscious way which is accessible to everyone.

What is an NFT?

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. An NFT represents a unique digital asset which is verified on powerful Blockchain technology, making it irreplaceable. An NFT can be a photo, video, audio file or indeed almost anything that can be stored digitally and thought to hold value. The Blockchain validates and records information about the NFT, such as the artist and time created, introducing the concept of a unique digital work. The Hyprr Platform creates a system that gives value to collectors, allowing Creators to sell their digital artwork and build a social media following.

What is a Blockchain?

Blockchains are a type of technology which provides a decentralised ledger for tracking data. The data stored on a Blockchain is permanent and immutable which provides maximum security and data protection for our users. NFTs are one type of data that can be tracked, stored, and moved between users with the power of blockchains Hyprr is built using the Cosmos blockchain protocol. The Cosmos blockchain platform enables high transaction rates (just 7 seconds) and secure smart contract capabilities, all at very low costs ($0.01) and with minimal environmental impact. Cosmos Blockchain is validated by proof of stake meaning that it has a 99% lower carbon footprint than those which use proof of work (such as Bitcoin). Cosmos is unique as a Blockchain as it enables communication and networking with other blockchains in the ecosystem.

Are Hyprr NFTs environmentally friendly?
