Last week, we launched a New Years airdrop treasure hunt giveaway that concluded on NYE. We got 990 unique participants with a total of 19,701 entries. 🤯 Thank you to everyone who participated, engaged with us on socials, and spread the love for STXNFT.

13 years ago today, on January 3rd, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block. Thank you, Satoshi…we wouldn’t be here without you.

Since Bitcoin’s genesis block, the ecosystem has proven to be a robust system and an exciting sandbox for developers to explore a new technological era of cryptography. Here at STXNFT, we’re taking that foundation of the decentralized, secure blockchain layer, merging it with the world of art, and creating an open platform via Stacks to bring you a user-friendly introduction to NFTs on Bitcoin.

Because we’re built on Bitcoin, it’s of utmost importance that we work towards expanding user-end bitcoin functionality. This means enabling payments via bitcoin/lightning and highlighting the Bitcoin blocks that your NFTs settle on.

Stay tuned for more developments, we have several updates coming very soon!

At the moment, we’re rolling out our private beta self-service mint portal to a select few collections. For all previously submitted collections, we will extend a self-service invite slowly over the next few weeks. If you haven’t received a response yet, please follow up via email again. We will get back to you ASAP!

For new collections, submit your projects via stxnft.com/submit and we will be slowly releasing our self-service feature. Thank you for your patience! This feature will be public very soon.

Are you on Instagram? Follow our new page here! We’ll be posting collection updates, giveaways, recent notable sales, and more!

Have a great first week of 2022!
