Wetransfer, the file transfer service giant, has collaborated with blockchain platform Minima to offer a non-fungible token (NFT) minting product in March.
It has been reported that Wetransfer’s announcement details that users leveraging the Minima cooperative will be able to mint NFTs from a mobile device or computer.
Damian Bradfield, the Chief Creative Officer at Wetransfer, stated:
“Wetransfer is thrilled to work with Minima, whose vision is aligned strongly with ours to seamlessly connect people and facilitate innovation and creativity without sacrificing privacy.”
However, blockchain platform Minima and its team insist they are “the only mobile-native Layer 1 blockchain.” The platform’s website highlights the upcoming launch of a minima token (MINIMA) and claims to be a “fully distributed network with no single point of failure,” validated by “hundreds of thousands of nodes.” The company’s documentation provides step-by-step instructions on how to run a Minima node on Android 9 and above.
Hugo Feiler, the CEO of Minima, said:
“We as a partnership look forward to supporting the development and acceleration of creativity in the digital age where individuals retain ownership and control of their work. This partnership will explore the practical use of NFT technology, something which interests not only the crypto industry, but will be a test case to demonstrate the potential of wider adoption of this innovative digital tool.”
Thus, Wetransfer’s entry into the NFT industry follows Ebay’s recent acquisition of NFT marketplace Knownorigin and the company’s expansion into the digital collectibles space. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have been dabbling with NFT technology as well. While Wetransfer NFTs through Minima will be free, users will need to run a node. In addition to mobile phones running Android 9 and above, Minima nodes can be run on Windows, Mac (desktop), Linux (desktop), and Linux server.
