Fimi NFT Marketplace helps underserved artists see themselves participate in a rapidly growing NFT art market, and build successful creative careers

New York, NY –News Direct– Fimi Market Inc.

Fimi Market Inc., a technology company dedicated to helping people around the world live and thrive through web3 experiences, has launched the Fimi NFT Marketplace, the only NFT art marketplace specifically designed to help women, colored, black diaspora- artists and collectors to sell and buy art while building lasting, successful creative careers and art collections. Artists and collectors can start embossing, buying and selling today by visiting create an account, and either connect to the crypto wallet or open a new one if needed.

Fimi NFT Marketplace delivers art experiences through a thoughtful, multicultural and human approach to technology, NFTs and metavers – something that is especially absent in the current global NFT art arena, which has taken a sharp drop in value in recent months. At the end of 2021, only 16% of NFT artists were women, and even fewer are color artists (source: ArtTactic).

“We have seen the true potential of web3 technology, despite the recent decline in cryptocurrencies, to help artists create and sell their work,” said Miguel Adwin, founder and CEO of Fimi Market. “An opportunity is now emerging for an NFT marketplace that is more accessible to those artists who have traditionally been marginalized by both technology and the traditional art world. Fimi is Jamaican for ‘for me’, and Fimi NFT Marketplace is for them: for female artists, colored artists, black diaspora artists, and those from other under-represented groups to engage the fast-growing NFT art market in ways that are representative, meaningful, and build lasting, financially successful creative livelihoods. ”

“Sounds of Blackness is proud to celebrate Juneteenth as an Afrocentric holiday in America,” said Gary Hines, founder and music director of the three-time Grammy Award-winning and twice NAACP Image Award-nominated Sounds of Blackness. “We offer a special limited edition and exclusive NFT package of our new single, ‘Juneteenth Celebration.’ * Sounds of Blackness recognizes that the meta-verse can pave the way for entrepreneurship and economic freedom for historically underserved populations of people.”

Fimi NFT Marketplace is a multi-blockchain platform that accepts a wide range of cryptocurrencies. It will basically accept XLM, ETH and MATIC cryptocurrencies, as well as the FIMI tool, built on the Stellar Network. The FIMI Utility token provides benefits such as network-free transactions to make, sell or buy on Stellar for holders of $ 100 or more in FIMI, reduced fees when sellers choose to receive payment in FIMI, as well as benefits that will be released soon, such as . early access to exclusive NFT releases and voting rights for featured content. The FIMI tool token is available on Stellar Decentralized Exchange (SDEX) and Bitmart Exchanges.

The cost of stamping an NFT on Stellar – the transaction fee also known as a “gas” fee – is less than $ 1 USD. Stellar also has minimal environmental impact for cryptocurrency: it uses only 0.00022 kilowatt hours per transaction, compared to Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin, which use 238.22 and 1575 kilowatt hours per transaction, respectively (source: Statista).

Use of the Fimi NFT Marketplace has a fee of 2.25% on each transaction, with a 20% refund if artists choose to be paid in FIMI tokens. (Other NFT marketplaces, such as OpenSea and Foundation, may charge between 2.5% and 5% of their transactions.) In addition, artists will have the option to defer NFT embossing costs until the time of sale.

Combined with its focus on artists from under-represented groups, Fimi NFT Marketplace really puts artists and collectors first: they have the flexibility to stamp NFTs on their preferred blockchain, defer stamping costs to the time of sale, use multiple cryptocurrencies to buy or sell an NFT, and pay minimal transaction fees. Overall, a transaction on the Fimi NFT Marketplace means greater availability for artists and collectors, with minimal carbon impact and among the lowest transaction fees available on any NFT marketplace.

“Embossing is super easy and fast,” said Mrs. Metal, a Genesis Artist. “I really liked how it took me step-by-step; even someone who is not so tech-savvy can use it without feeling like they are going to mess up. ”

“I honestly like the different coin options,” said Kwame, a Genesis Artist. “It provides a dynamic user experience and provides a better artist-curated experience in a marketplace. I can tell you this was well thought out.”

“It’s important for people from all backgrounds, regions and continents to see themselves in the metaverse as it takes shape,” Adwin said. Starting with the Fimi NFT Marketplace, we aim to help artists from under-represented groups embrace the meta-verse, connect with other artists and collectors to build communities and help them grow financially so they can focus on what they do best. : to create incredible works of art No matter where you live or how you create or collect art, our goal is for you to see yourself and visualize your own success through the Fimi NFT Marketplace – for you to say: “Fimi is for me.”
