Chocomint - Builders Program Application

Project Overview

Chocomint is a decentralized multi-chain NFTs platform. Currently, we provide NFT mint service. You can deploy your own NFT contract, and mint at a lower gas cost than other services. Metadata can be decentralized from the beginning.

Currently, we are developing Chocomint V2. It will add functions such as Marketplace and Analyzer, and evolve into an All-in-one decentralized NFT platform that allows users to publish NFTs, sell them, and analyze the data in one service.

Builders Program Roadmap

Future plan

“Creator is a platform”

We are aiming for a future where users can handle NFTs without depending on platforms.

  • Provide SDKs and other tools to help users create their own marketplaces.

  • Integrate decentralized storage service e.g. Filecoin or Arweave so that metadata can last longer.

  • Develop applications that enable NFT holders to create their limited content.

  • Integrate DID and VC systems to make NFT more useful and verifiable in the real world.

Hi Yuzu,

I did use Chocomint to mint NFT on Shiden and I found it easy to use but I think the UX can be improved as it seems old school to me and can discourage users.

Is it something you will change with Chocomint V2 ?

Outside of this, I have nothing else to say and will be happy to support your application. :slight_smile:

Hi Gunit !

Thank you for your advice, UX will be improved when updated to v2.
Chocomint v2 supports

  • bulk-metadata-generation
  • bulk-mint and bulk-sale from CSV

and we will create optimized UI for that!

Hi Maarten

Thank you for commenting.
I’m sorry to reply late. I missed your message… :sob:

We would like to receive marketing support and financial support.

Our team consists only of developers, not strong in the above areas, so it would be helpful if you could support.

Hi Alix :wave:

Thank you for using Chocomint and your good review !
Any feedback or improvements would be great!

Would you elaborate more on the financial support?
Are you looking for any grants or would you like to use dApp staking as basic income?

Thanks for getting back to me.

We are looking for grants.
The usage of grants

  • Operating Cost for Chocofactory (an NFT Issuer)
  • Development Cost (an NFT Indexer)

【Operating Cost for Chocofactory】
We think that we shouldn’t charge for the minting of NFT (except gas fee), so Chocomint doesn’t take a commission from the users. However, additional development and maintenance will inevitably require money, and we would like your assistance in this area.

【Development Cost】
It seems that Astar Network hasn’t had the masterpiece of the NFT Indexer yet. The NFT Indexer enables the users to analyze on-chain data about NFTs. That improves the user experience of NFT on Astar Network.Chocomint, we aim to be an all-in-one dapps about NFT, and adding an indexer is one of our roadmaps.
Thus, we would like you to support the development cost for the NFT Indexer, for us and you.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Can you please also apply here:

I’ve already applied for Builders Program a few months ago.
Should I do one more again?

Yes because we recently changed our grant structure and financial support.
Thanks

I personally have used chocomint numerous times. I enjoy the product and I have benefited from it ease of use. Im sure many others have as well.

The milestones here and the plans the teams have are amazing! And very much needed. I hope you apply once again. Let us know if you need anything.

Thank you!
