Algorand Mainnet has crossed two years. The ALGO community has continually driven the ecosystem’s growth by continued development, innovation, and support.  Many of them are not sure what the future will bring them, but they are hopeful about Futurefi. For developers looking to stay up to date with the events in the ALGO ecosystem, there are the latest tutorials, solutions, and articles made available through the Algorand Developer Newsletter.

Silvio Micali, in the past, expressed, “Beyond interoperability, creators should consider other critical criteria when choosing a blockchain infrastructure to launch an NFT: no-forking.”

ZESTBloom is the latest recipient of the Algo Foundation Grant. ZestBloom focuses on improving NFT trading by facilitating a cross-platform NFT search engine, which tracks royalties and resales.  Thus, providing fractionalization and algorithmically protecting artists against the misuse of their work.

ZESTBloom claims they directly benefit every other NFT marketplace on Algorand.  There is intense competition in the NFT marketplace, and they are well aware of it.

They are focusing to cooperatively improve the entire Algorand ecosystem using the cross-platform NFT search engine.

Their service is expected to increase the visibility of artists, collector options, and transaction volumes for each of the NFT marketplaces on Algorand in their index.

Their marketplace provides inclusive NFT trading, which empowers creators, thus creating a unique ownership experience.

When compared to other NFT minting services, creators are allowed to establish the first “proof of originality.”  ZESTBloom thus enforces royalty agreements with the novel proprietary content protection approach making safe resales compared to what is already available in the market.

Both collectors and creators alike will have a unique NFT experience in Algorand’s ecosystem.

ZESTBloom works with a blockchain certificate that verifies authenticity, track provenance, and proves ownership.  Identity management is done by pseudo anonymously managing blockchain certificates and cataloging the entire collection of a user.  The smart contract validates by ensuring the bidder has sufficient funds to provide for payment.  Escrow smart contracts provide seamless settlements without a middle vendor.  The primacy seller keeps 100% of the sales.  About 10% of Royalties are distributed on secondary sales.  The smart contracts are customizable with SC with optional managed and unmanaged assets.

ZestBloom provides best-in-class image theft protection using a novel, robust, and decentralized approach. The original parts of the creator’s content are automatically registered and protected considering in case someone tries to copy any part of the work.

ZestBloom is set to launch in August. They are all set to represent the best of the ALGO community.
