WazirX Nano NFT: WazirX NFT marketplace is trying to solve this problem with ‘Nano NFT’, which was introduced recently.
Launching an NFT collection is a costly exercise as creators have to mint every single piece separately and then move them to the collection folder. However, WazirX NFT marketplace is trying to solve this problem with ‘Nano NFT’, which was introduced recently. With Nano NFT, WazirX aims to revolutionise the entire process of creating NFT collections for individual creators.
“Nano NFT is probably one of the latest use cases of blockchain technology. Individual creators are faced with a great deal of burden while creating 100/500/1k/5k/10k NFT projects, but with Nano NFT, WazirX NFT marketplace makes it simpler, faster, and easier to create such big scale collections,” Sandesh Suvarna, VP, WazirX NFT Marketplace, told FE Online.
Suvarna further said that Nano NFT is a first of its kind initiative by WazirX NFT to help creators set up their own smart contracts. It is primarily for people who are launching collection.

“Before this update, creators faced a lot of problems because if someone has 100 NFTs, it needs to be minted 100 times and moved 100 times into the collection folder. Also, creators need to pay gas fees for every NFT that they mint. Nano NFTs change the game for creators by making the entire process of minting NFTs more seamless, less tedious and technical,” Suvarna said.
“Now, creators need to pay gas fee once only for setting up the smart contract and they can launch any number NFTs as per their project size. In the Nano NFT flow, the gas fees for minting is paid by the collector making it more accessible for the creator economy,” he added.
