SOTA, the emerging multi-chain NFT platform, has announced that they will integrate with TrustSwap to aid in the execution of their token offering on February 18th from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM PST.

NFT technology has brought an evolution to the digital content market with new solutions to recognize the true creators and owners of digital content. The NFT market has been catching the spotlight in recent months with some major media channels forecasting that 2021 will be “The Year of NFTs”.

Most current NFT platforms are built on the Ethereum blockchain. However, the high gas prices of the Ethereum network make it very expensive for users to create and trade NFTs. It currently costs about $30–$40 USD to create an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain (Feb 2021).

SOTA is a next-gen NFT platform that targets multiple blockchains to allow creators to optimize the underlying blockchain networks for NFT creation and trading. SOTA team has launched the first version of the platform on Binance Smart Chain network, which means much lower costs for the creation and transaction of NFTs. SOTA will gradually add other efficient blockchain networks to encourage and grow the adoption of NFTs.

SOTA platform’s key features:

  • An engine that allows creators to easily mint NFTs of their digital content within an optimal blockchain network
  • A marketplace where users can collect (farm or buy) and sell their NFTs with minimal transaction costs
  • A social network where fans can follow and interacts with their favorite creators
  • A channel where brands connect with users for marketing and promotion
