Number of NFTs Minted on Cardano ($ADA) Network Surpasses 800,000

The number of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) minted on top of the Cardano ($ADA) network has now surpassed the 800,000 mark as activity on the cryptocurrencys network keeps surging and its decentralized finance (DeFi) space hits new highs in terms of total value locked.

According to a tweet published NFT MAKER ($NMKR), a tool built on top of Cardano allowing users to mint NFTs on-demand, over 800,000 of these tokens have so far been launched. The platform was launched to reduce entry barriers to the NFT marketplace, and as such includes tools to help artists and brands create and sell NFTs without coding knowledge.

One of the cryptocurrency projects using the platform to mint tokens is CardanoPeakz, which creates digital collectibles representing some of the worlds mountain tops including Mt. Everest, Nanga Parbat, and others. As Finbold reported, the project replied to the tweet saying its looking to launch even more NFTs.

The popularity of NFTs has been exploding over the last few months with several large firms getting involved in the space, partly anticipating a wider shift to the metaverse and Web 3.0. the worlds third-largest pizza delivery firm Papa Johns, has, for example, recently started offering NFTs minted on the Tezos ($XTZ) network, according to a press release shared with CryptoGlobe.
