NFT Swaps: Users can easily trade NFTs between one another NFTs.
NFT Trading with Stablecoins: Support for purchasing NFTs using stablecoins like USDC and USDT.

Milestone 2

In the second milestone we plan to bring new features and improvements

UI and UX Enhancements:

Continuously improving the user interface and user experience to ensure a seamless and intuitive platform for all users.

On-chain Identity on polkadot peoples chain

Users can create their on-chain identity and it will be shown everywhere

Royalties to the collection owner from NFT sales on remarker

A percentage of NFT sales price will be given to the Collection owner as specified while creating

NFT liquidity pools

Users can directly swap their NFT with any another collection NFT if it has a swap offer to that whole collection items

Remint Tool: made for large collections like on solana large supply collections are minted into the blockchain increasing number of NFT holder and users

Public Mint: Allowing anyone to mint NFTs from a collection.
Issuer Mode: Only the collection's issuer can mint NFTs.
Whitelist Mode: Only pre-approved users can mint NFTs.
This tool will enable it's users to pre-sign large chunks of NFT collection metadata and mint details, streamlining the minting process and providing flexibility similar to Ethereum based NFT minting smart contracts.

NftFractionalization

The nftFractionalization pallet allows an NFT to be divided into smaller pieces, enabling fractional ownership. Here's how it works:

1 . Fractionalize NFT:

When an NFT is fractionalized, it is locked, and new tokens representing fractions of the NFT are issued.
Each token represents a percentage of ownership of the NFT.

2 . Distribute Ownership:

These fractional tokens can be sold or distributed, allowing multiple people to own a share of the NFT.
For example, a $30,000 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT can be divided into smaller fractions, making it more accessible.

3 . Ownership Rights:

The person holding the majority of the fractional tokens has the controlling interest and effectively owns 100% of the NFT.
As more tokens are distributed, the original owner's percentage of ownership decreases.

4 . Unify NFT:

To regain full ownership, one must buy back all the fractional tokens.
Once all tokens are reacquired, the NFT can be unified, unlocking the full ownership rights.

Twitter NFT sales Bot

The ultimate marketing tool to showcase the vibrant activity within Remarker.. By highlighting real-time sales, trades, and new listings, this bot will attract artists and traders to our marketplace, boosting user engagement on Polkadot Asset Hub.

Feedback from ref#975

1 . active users: In this treasury proposal we have provided 7 days active users data from different regions

2 . Transaction volume: Couldn't calculate exactly but there are many NFT collections created actually we never tracked transaction volume but there are many NFTs created and listing's made on remarker but we'll try to build a tracker built in remarker very soon but for now we have provided active users data

1 . on-chain identity is created by proposer

2 . reduced asking price

1 . we're now focusing on bigger NFT teams of developers and artists that's why we're building remint tool so that these teams can create their NFT collections on polkadot with large supply high hype and can attract large number of NFT users on polkadot for example these teams on solana creates 5K to 10K supply collections does marketing well and attracts large number of NFT users the main problem of polkadot is currently userbase that's what we're trying to solve

1 . Now we have a fully detailed budget allocation https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PYB1vg5PoxmnZqfMIK-IotTDmNhmdgTvbGtMq-vedKo/edit?usp=sharing

Problems

There is no any good UI for Polkadot Asset Hub NFTs

Many pallet calls in NFT pallet are abandoned and these calls are the ones which makes polkadot NFTs different from any other blockchain like NFT swaps offers, public mint and many more

Solutions

Remarker is building the most enhanced UI for polkadot NFTs and it can be clearly seen

Remarker has already added 90% of the pallet calls in use

Innovation & Ambition

Collaborations and Community

Remarker has already been working with the big projects like The collectables by kus which is outperforming all records and we're also working with the memecoin projects to bring large collections on polkadot asset hub for reaching large userbase

Major Problem

Remarker focuses on attracting big team from different blockchains like on solana there are team of developers and NFT artists working together on large size 5K to 10K supply collections and we want those teams to create NFTs on remarker and remint is the tool which developers can use for creating their NFT mint dapp on Polkadot asset hub and launch a public mint we're also going to create a guide on how to use hashlips and remint together for launching a NFT collection on Polkadot asset hub, Remint is going to be launched in the milestone 2
