Store of the week: NEAR Misfits

10,000 brave souls set off to explore the metaverse. Unfortunately, only 1,923 still live to tell the tale. Armed with tech tools and their imagination, NEAR MISFITS are building a place where they can feel like they belong, build and compete freely. Find them on Mintbase.

NEAR Misfits are one of the first generative NFT collections on NEAR. They’re a diverse bunch, with one thing in common: their vision for the Metaverse and the conviction to make it a reality. They are here, they are early and they are battling through winters and regulatory assaults.

“Misfits were first envisioned around a year ago when the team was first introduced to NFTs on NEAR, merging the ideas of being early adopters in the NEAR ecosystem, the rise of metaverses, and the crazy new products people are building”, says Ollie, from the Misfits team.

Considering the number of projects building on NEAR, coupled with the fast, cheap and UX-focused infrastructure, it’s easy to understand why the Misfits flocked to NEAR.

“The Misfit team was lucky enough to work closely with the Human Guild, TENK, and the NEAR Foundation on bringing these 1,923 NFTs to life and establishing ourselves as the first cryptographically complete NFT collection on NEAR”

For Mintbase, NEAR misfits also represent a turning point. They were the first external contract being indexed on Mintbase — and the first step towards true interoperability in the ecosystem. Keep an eye out for a longer post on what’s interoperability and why it matters, coming soon!
