NFT platform Metalink launches a mobile application to create a token gated space where NFT collectors can interact with each other, aggregate announcements and track portfolio performance. The app will also launch a trading feature later this year so users can buy, sell and trade digital assets.
NFT Platform Metalink Launches Mobile App
The NFT app is now available on the Apple App Store and serves as a complement to the Metalink website, which is already connected to 100,000 crypto wallets. Launched in August 2021 as a private chat app for CryptoPunks collectors, the platform has expanded to include official chat rooms for other top NFT projects such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
“Our goal was to make it incredibly easy for anyone to quickly and safely chat with holders of any collection in their portfolio. With Metalink, you simply connect your wallet and start typing. Token holders only, one chat per collection. No Discord, Telegram or verification bots.” – Metalink’s head of product, Adam Ceresko.
Metalink also announced a previously undisclosed $6 million seed round. Among the investors are such big names of Web3 industry as Guy Oseary, Gary Vaynerchuk, MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright, The Sandbox founder Sebastien Borget, former Coinbase Chief Technology Officer Balaji Srinivasan, DJ Justin Blau, Social Capital, Arrington Capital and Sound Ventures.
The Metalink app is designed to simplify the fragmented process of NFT trading and community building. The platform automatically creates a private token chat for each NFT collection created on the Ethereum network, and owners can access these chats by connecting their wallets and verifying their holdings.
“The vision is to eventually not need to communicate through Web2 messaging apps and separately buy and sell through several different marketplaces,” said Мetalink CEO Jake Udell.
Мetalink also extracts real-time NFT reserve prices and rarity data from multiple marketplaces to help holders accurately assess their NFT portfolio and track real-time price movements. Additionally, the platform offers summary announcements from the NFT collection chats and provides users with a scrollable feed of all major updates.
Several startups have worked to simplify the process for NFT creators, taking popular ideas from Web2 and porting them to Web3. For example, metaverse-focused blockchain MultiversX recently launched its “super app” xPortal, which combines elements of chat, finance, and artificial intelligence.
