The fund will support NFT projects in their early stages in areas such as arts, sports, celebrities, Asian culture, and more. 99 outstanding NFT creators will be invited to speed up Web3 growth by joining the Windvane NFT marketplace.  

Windvane provides NFT minting, trade, and more

Helping young artists and creators  

The “Creators Fund” will help young artists showcase their talents publicly, building a much freer, more equal, and more democratic decentralized NFT marketplace. It will also provide innovative technology to facilitate NFT space development and help build a diverse Web 3 realm. 

Windvane will support INOs (Initial NFT Offering) through KuCoin’s astounding traffic and assistance from KOLs and important hubs.
