Built on the Solana blockchain, Neon is a crypto startup that operates as an NFT marketplace and gallery. Its NFT vending machine is made of glass, which glows in neon pink and blue lights.
Neon co-founder Jordan Birnholtz intends to give all crypto-holders as well as the non-crypto public a chance to own an NFT.
Birnholtz says that “you will not need to own Ethereum, write smart contracts, pay gas costs, or bridge blockchain blockchains to participate. NFTs do not need to remain a secret.”
This NFT vending machine concept will also serve to increase the reach of those artists. Artists currently selling their work as an NFT on platforms like OpenSea and LookRare only have crypto owners as buyers, but this vending machine will also be able to buy their art from anyone who doesn’t hold crypto.
Birnholtz adds that “While only two percent of Americans have a digital wallet, 80 percent have a credit card or debit card. We aim to support artists and creators by allowing everyone to sell digital art, and whoever Wants to be a collector, has to help him.”<!–
