Looking at the NFT space and rising interests, Ethereum has tougher competitors on its hand. Fantom launched its open-source NFT marketplace called Artion, which already came with some really great features. Even though the launch is in the beta version, its functionality is what makes it look interesting. Charges for minting NFT’s costs just 10 FTM coins. Fantom also partnered with Chainlink for the price feeds.
However, what makes Fantom noteworthy is that bridges with Ethereum. This potentiality would make it the first cross-chain NFT marketplace, because allows transfers on NFTs between the networks. However, this announcement made FTM’s price to rise to 12.46%, (1.24 dollars at the time of this report) despite that the majority of coins and tokens were in red.

Its development activity has been pretty strong. It is a big indicator for the price of Fantom FTM coin, entering the NFT’s space can lead to its price to go even double, more than $2.5 for one FTM coin.
