In a bid to foster a stronger multi-chain NFT ecosystem, the popular NFT marketplace and minting platform Mintable has enabled minting and transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) from enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions provider Ripple. XRPL is an environmentally friendly blockchain known for fast and cost-efficient asset tokenization. In addition to enabling XRPL-based buying, selling, and minting of NFTs, this integration will provide a no-code means for independent creators to launch high-quality NFT projects and help recipients of Ripple’s Creator Fund to bring their NFT projects to market on the XRPL.
Mintable CMO Patrick Chin believes that the XRPL blockchain will prove to be “very valuable” to the NFT ecosystem. Being that it is “highly secure and energy efficient”, XRPL can “help the industry overcome adoption barriers”.
While there are other blockchain alternatives to Ethereum in the NFT space, XRPL is well-known for being extremely reliable and is often seen as the blockchain best suited for enabling settlement and liquidity of tokenized assets at scale — a reputation it has maintained for the past 10 years.
“We are proud to be Ripple’s NFT partner,” Chin added, “and make the NFT industry more sustainable and efficient.”
Emi Yoshikawa, Ripple’s VP of Strategy and Operations, is just as “excited to partner with Mintable to help bring in new creators” that build “innovative Web3 projects with real utility” to the XRP Ledger.
Mintable, the top technology platform in the NFT trading space, pioneered gasless minting on Ethereum in April of this year. The Mintable ecosystem, which also includes the enterprise NFT solutions provider Mintology, is known for hosting NFT projects from high-profile artists and celebrities, including Grammy Award winners and 20th-century avant-garde artists.
