WazirX's NFT Marketplace
WazirX will now allow the content creators in India to place digital assets – audio/video, art pieces, animated GIFs and tweets, and all intellectual properties for the auction and earn royalties on them.
Once an NFT is created and sold, then it becomes a unique asset for the buyer and cannot be copied – the ownership of the asset will be tracked with the help of Blockchain. While WazirX has revealed that it will not charge customers to listings and for exchanging NFTs on its platform, a gas fee might be taken.
NFT builds on blockchain that allows smart contracts, and the fee has to be paid to the miners for the computer power used to verify the transactions.
Moreover, the crypto exchange platform has revealed that it is currently working towards nullifying this cost to make NFT minting cost-effective for both the creators. The entire effort is being driven by the Canadian entrepreneur Sandesh as well as actor or producer Vishakha Singh.
