AnonForge

Browse curated collections from independent creators, or easiely build and launch your own NFT project.

AnonForge is a web-based platform integrated with NMKR's infrastructure, designed to facilitate discovery and creation of NFTs on Cardano. It empowers independent creators by providing tools to launch curated NFT collections quickly and efficiently, while offering users a seamless experience for browsing and minting unique digital assets. By leveraging NMKR's backend for minting and API services, AnonForge simplifies the NFT workflow without requiring coding expertise.

Key Features

• Curated Marketplace: AnonForge includes a built-in marketplace where users can browse and mint from a selection of curated NFT collections created by independent artists and creators. Collections are hand-picked to highlight originality and diversity, fostering a community-driven ecosystem. As of the latest status, the platform is operational but currently features no live collections, encouraging new creators to launch and populate the marketplace.

• Layer-Based NFT Generation: Creators can generate diverse NFT collections using a layer-based system, similar to NMKR Studio's NFT PAL tool. This allows for uploading image layers (e.g., backgrounds, traits, accessories) in formats like PNG with transparency, assigning rarity weights to variants, and algorithmically producing unique combinations. The system supports large-scale generations (e.g., thousands of NFTs) with automatic CIP-25 compliant metadata creation, ensuring no duplicates and preview options for review.

• Quick Project Launch: Enable rapid deployment of NFT projects, including art generation, product page setup with custom branding (banners, descriptions, social links), pricing, and sales integration. Projects can go live in minutes, with built-in buy buttons for direct payments on Cardano.

• Royalty and Team Management: Set royalty percentages and payout addresses for ongoing earnings. The platform supports team collaboration through role-based permissions, allowing multiple users to contribute to layer management, reviews, and project oversight.

• Security and Privacy: Built with enterprise-grade security, including encrypted API keys, and emphasizes pseudonymity aligned with Cardano's design. No additional anonymity features are introduced beyond the blockchain's native capabilities.

• Cardano Blockchain Integration: All minting, transactions, and metadata handling occur on Cardano, benefiting from low fees, sustainability, and standards compliance. AnonForge directly utilizes NMKR's minting engine for secure and efficient NFT issuance.

Integration with NMKR Studio

AnonForge serves as an accessible frontend layer atop NMKR's core technology, particularly for minting and generation features. It draws from NMKR Studio's capabilities, such as the NFT PAL layering tool, to provide a streamlined interface for non-technical users. Creators can upload assets, generate collections, and mint NFTs using NMKR's API, ensuring seamless interoperability. For advanced customization, users can transition to NMKR Studio for direct API access or more granular control over projects. This integration extends NMKR's ecosystem by making NFT creation more approachable, while maintaining compatibility with NMKR Pay for sales and other tools.
