Additionally, Flexart aims to elevate the visibility of NFT collections and individual artworks, providing a space for artists to gain recognition and appreciation for their talents. \n\nFlexart offers two main phases resulting in a leaderboard and certification: the submission phase and the voting phase. During the submission phase, holders or creators can submit their artworks/collectibles to participate in competitions or art-only votings. Once submissions are closed, the voting phase begins, where community members can vote on their favorite artworks using a Tinder-like swiping mechanism secured by Gitcoin Passport.

We're also planning collaborations with various artists we've met, along with initiatives such as ENS meme name competitions, AI art competitions, drawing contests with Nifty.ink, and DAO voting via cards as proposals.

It allows NFT collections to raise attention and create special events for their communities, showcasing unique use cases for their NFTs with a primary focus on the beauty of these digital assets. While NFTs typically have mathematically rankable rarity metrics, Flexart shifts the spotlight to the subjective perception of beauty, determined through Tinder-like community voting. This not only adds a fun and engaging element to the community but also fosters a strong sense of unity. Flexart motivates Creators&Holders and other individuals to participate in these competitions, transitioning from mere ownership to active engagement through the submission and voting processes, with results displayed in a leaderboard. The NFT with the most votes earns a certificate, the Proof of Subjective Rarity (#PoSR). In essence, Flexart provides a novel way for the NFT community to assess and celebrate the aesthetic value of their digital beauties besides traditional rarity metrics. This will bring a lot more value to the whole NFT ecosystem.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "flexart-nft ", "projectTwitter": "flexart7"}, "recipient": "0x20fEeCBa49a2F3FEC5A9783F172c4A9469fa6F01"}}
