Data management and tracking tools
Dataverse
Dataverse is a private space for managing cross-chain metaverse assets, including NFTs, POAPs (proof of attendance protocols – a new way of keeping an immutable record of your life experiences, including virtual and in-person events), and social relations. The goal of the platform is to build a secure cyberspace where users take control of their data as well as a composable data infrastructure.
The project is the brainchild of OwnershipLabs from China. Dataverse supports the curation of a user’s NFTs across numerous marketplaces, including Opensea, Objkt.com, and MagicEden.
Part personal museum and part information aggregator for cross-platform and cross-chain content management, Dataverse is a powerful offering for those interested in adding an additional layer of security and ease to their NFTs online.
What’s more, the Dataverse app sits as an extension in Chrome – what could be easier than that?
NFTScan
NFTScan is a professional NFT explorer and analytics platform, which will soon onboard the Tezos blockchain.

NFT creation tools
SweatyNFT
If you’re an artist about to launch your NFT career but don’t know how to get started, SweatyNFT has your back. SweatyNFT is an all-in-one, no-code NFT toolset for artists.
The team behind the platform noticed that there was a serious lack of tools that artists can use to generate images without coding skills. With SweatyNFT, artists don’t have to interact with code in order to make a generative collection and set traits.
According to founder Sarisa Kojima, the team behind SweatyNFT started out wanting to support the ‘creator economy’, but found there weren’t enough tools to support new artists. Instead of waiting for someone else to build them, Kojima and her co-founders decided to do it themselves. The team received a TZ APAC Ecosystem Growth Grant (EGG) and got to work.
Smart Contract and cross-chain compatibility are a must for creators, and SweatyNFT is striving to meet the needs of the entire NFT community, especially in the areas of character and skin generation for the Metaverse.
The Tezos FA.2 contracts integration is currently under development and will be available soon. In addition to Smart Contract deployment, SweatyNFT is also releasing a ‘Lazy Minting’ widget for artists’ websites.
Sphere.ART
One of the winners of the inaugural TezAsia Hackathon in 2021, Sphere.ART has taken a unique approach to the concept of an NFT marketplace.
The platform allows creators, designers, and developers to mint original 3D sphere NFTs on the Tezos blockchain. The platform’s unique functionality allows users to move the camera to orbit around each 3D Sphere NFT. This gives the users freedom to look around the NFT and have a close-to real-life three-dimensional view, playing with the concept of how art is viewed in virtual space.
The platform’s 3D Sphere Art Editor allows creators to craft their original work without the need for complex 3rd party software or powerful machines to assist in rendering the design. Easy to learn and to use, the editor also auto-saves all your work, so you’ll never accidentally lose your original work.

NFT creation tools
SweatyNFT
Kung ikaw ay isang artist na nagnanais pasukin ang mundo ng NFT pero hindi mo alam kung paano magsisimula, sagot ka ng SweatyNFT. Ang SweatyNFT ay isang all-in-one, no-code NFT toolset para sa mga artists.
Napansin ng grupo sa likod ng platform na may seryosong kakulangan ng tools na pwedeng gamitin ng mga artists para makagawa ng images nang hindi nangangailangan ng kakayahan sa pagcode. Gamit ang SweatyNFT, hindi na kailangan ng mga artists na makipagtuos sa code upang makagawa ng generative collection at set traits.
Ayon sa founder na si Sarisa Kojima, ang grupo sa likod ng SweatyNFT ay nagsimula noon na may hangaring suportahan ang ‘creator economy’ pero natuklasan nilang hindi sapat ang tools na maaari sanang sumuporta sa mga bagong artists. Sa halip na maghintay ng ibang gagawa nito, napagdesisyunan ni Kojima kasama ang mga co-founders na gawin na lamang ang bagay na ito. Ang grupo ay nakatanggap ng TZ APAC Ecosystem Growth Grant (EGG) at nagsimula nang nagtrabaho.
Ang samrt contract at cross-chain compatibility ay kailangan para sa mga creators, at ang SweatyNFT ay nagsusumikap na tugunan ang mga kailangang ito ng buong NFT community, lalo na ang mga areas of character at skin generation para sa Metaverse.
Ang integration ng Tezos FA.2 contracts ay kasakuluyang nasa ilalim ng development at nalalapit nang maging available. Dagdag pa sa samrt contract deployment, ang SweatyNFT rin ay maglalabas ng ‘Lazy Minting’ widget para sa mga websites ng mga artists.
Sphere.ART
Tinahak ng Sphere.ART, isa sa mga nanalo sa pinkaunang TezAsia Hackathon noong 2021, ang kakaibang approach sa konsepto ng NFT marketplace.
Binibigyang kakayahan ng platform ang mga creators, designers, at developers, na makapagmint ng orihinal na 3D sphere NFTs sa Tezos blockchain. Ang kakaibang functionality ng platform ay nagbibigay kakayahan sa mga users na galawin ang camera upang makaikot sa bawat 3D Sphere NFT. Ito ay nagbibigay sa mga users ng kalayaan na makita ang NFT at magkaroon ng tila totoong three-dimensional view nito, na tila nilalaro ang konsepto ng kung paano tingnan ang sining sa virtual space.
Pinahihintulutan ng 3D Sphere Art Editor ng platform ang mga creators na lumikha ng kanilang orginal work nang hindi na nangangailangan ng kumplikadong 3rd party software o powerful machines na tutulong sana sa pagrender ng design. Ang editor na madaling aralin at gamitin, ay kusa ring sinesave ang iyong mga gawa, kaya hindi mo aksidenteng mawawala ang iyong orihinal na gawa.
NFT Marketplaces
akaSwap
Ang akaSwap ay isang friendly, open at green NFT platform na nakabase sa Tezos. Sa akaSwap, ang lahat ay madaling makakapaglikha, magtrade at kumolekta ng iba’t ibang NFT mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo. Ang founder na si Aluan Wang ay isang beteranong digital artist na nakabase sa Taiwan, at ang akaSwap ay nagrerepresenta ng isang logical progression para kay Wang mula sa pagiging artist hanggang siya’y maging community leader at marketplace creator.
Ang akaOBJ ay isang salita na ginawa ng platform na tumutukoy sa mga NFT na namint sa akaSwap. Ang mga NFT sa akaSwap ay pwedeng maging kahit ano, maging picture, videos, sound man ito o visual arts.
