Bluez is a new NFT marketplace is being developed by a group of passionate developers and enthusiasts who have made significant contributions to the Astar ecosystem through their work on other projects. Specifically, some of them have built AstridDAO, a multi-collateral stablecoin with high capital effciency.

Astar Network is a thriving ecosystem with a wide range of exciting projects spanning decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible token (NFT) collections, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Despite this, the network has been lacking a native NFT marketplace. This gap in the market has motivated the developers behind Bluez to build the first-ever Astar native NFT marketplace. By doing so, they hope to provide a new, user-friendly platform for buying and selling NFTs on the Astar Network.

Bluez also have ambitious plans to become a NFT entry point for major Japanese corporations. This means we aim to be the opening gateway for these corporations to enter the world of decentralized applications and blockchain technology.

We aim to establish strong and fruitful relationships with NFT projects to create a network of mutually beneficial partnerships and drive growth and innovation within the Astar ecosystem.
