An NFT marketplace on the Flow blockchain where creators place their ASMR content and users can buy, collect, or resell files as non-fungible tokens.

Project goals

Develop an NFT platform for issuing ASMR collectibles, help ASMR-tists protect their copyrights and earn royalties from every item resale, and provide ASMR listeners with the opportunity to personally interact with their favorite creators.

Work done

  • An NFT platform for selling ASMR works in the primary and secondary market
  • Web UI for administrators and users
  • Integration with Blocto Wallet
  • Smart contracts written in Cadence
  • Introduction of two types of sales: open edition and auction
  • Implementation of payments in FUSD with the ability to convert fiat and FLOW to this stablecoin without leaving the platform

Solution

We have built xtingles — a fully functioning MVP web platform powered by the Flow blockchain. On this platform, which we designed and implemented from scratch, artists can submit their work, convert their files to NFTs, and sell them. Commissions from initial and secondary sales are distributed later between the platform and the content creators.

Target audience

The ASMR phenomenon is known all over the world but is especially popular in Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and India.

Asia is the originator of many ASMR trends. For example, «mukbang» (eating show) is one of the world’s largest ASMR trends, originating in South Korea back in 2010. Today, ASMR-tists use this term without translating it into their native language.

Thus, the xtingles platform targets mainly Asian artists and their supporters. However, this NFT marketplace can still be used by anyone who loves ASMR and wants to share, benefit from or collect rare audio and video items.

A few statistics that speak about the popularity of the ASMR trend and indicate the high potential of the created platform:

YouTube icon

ASMR is in the top three most popular YouTube searches of all time

Instagram icon

Over 11 million posts under the ASMR tag on Instagram

Secondary market

The secondary market based on the xtingles platform is a marketplace where users can resell items that they purchased earlier in drops.

User roles

Unlike other NFT marketplaces where creators upload and publish their works of art themselves, on the xtingles platform the admin manages authors’ applications, contacts them, agrees on a specific type of sale and the conditions, and puts items up for sale in NFT form.

User

  • Purchasing and collecting NFTs at fixed prices or at an auction
  • Reselling NFTs in the secondary market at a higher price

xtingles is the future of ASMR

The platform brings ASMR creators and enthusiasts together, contributes to the development of the ASMR community, and promotes the idea that ASMR art deserves even more attention as it has the potential to improve people’s health, both physical and mental.

MONETIZATION

We made the xtingles platform beneficial for all marketplace participants

When creating a drop, the admin and the author agree on the percentage of the commission. These come in two types, an initial sale commission, and a secondary sale commission.

For both initial and secondary sales, the commission is split between the platform and the author. Thus, the ASMR creator gains royalties on all secondary sales.

The user, in their turn, can resell the item at a higher price in the secondary market and thereby make money.
