Coinbase has partnered with 0x Protocol, a decentralized protocol infrastructure development firm that has served a trusted, open-source standard for NFT swapping across blockchains. The partnership also sees Coinbase launching its NFT platform in a beta phase.The partnership brings 0x Protocol’s expertise in multi-chain NFT swaps to Coinbase’ up and coming NFT platform, powered by the former’s gas efficient features. According to Coinbase, the beta test phase for Coinbase NFT will enable select users chosen for the beta program to buy and sell NFTs with the use of any self-custody wallet.
“The rise of NFT communities have shown us that online conversation extends far beyond the moments around transactions. We’re building a place that’s for more than just buying and selling. We want Coinbase NFT to be a place that helps creators and collectors build and engage their communities,” shares Sanchan Saxena, VP of Product at Coinbase.
The beta phase will have no transaction fees, but only for a limited time. Coinbase plans to eventually add fees, in line with Web3 industry standards, alongside a notice of the changes once their testing and analytics confirm the platform’s viability.
