1/ Mercanti | $MARCO | Utility NFT

Let me tell you about one project minting on 12th called Mercanti which grants holders an access key for the broader @TradeWithMarco with mission of building the Defi infrastructure for NFTs and help onboard 1 billion users into #Solana
2/ Marco Polo

Similar to when Marco Polo revolutionized the monetary system by introducing "paper" as a medium for money in 1295 in the west, this project aims to build DeFi infrastructure for NFTs on Solana with accountability and transparency.

3/ MarcoPolo has 3 major segments that are interconnected

ᐅ Tools
ᐅ Infrastructure
ᐅ Education

3.1/ Tools

ᐅ Permissionless Escrow, already launched on Devnet and you can test it, guide: tradewithmarco.medium.com/marco-polo-bet…, super easy to use :)
Key differences vs Yawww:

1-MP escrow has mission to create live trading environment, meaning both sides have to be present in order to trade, Yawww sends you an offer.
2-They are giving all fees to the project DAOs and only charging 0.05 SOL for the Vault Opening fee.
ᐅ Discord Bot #1, - Public DMs, already launched.

Nowadays problem: When transacting P2P both parts need to have open DMs.
Solution: MarcoPolo created a bot where you can create a chat with the person inside the server, and is only visible to both of you.

!chat @member
ᐅ Trading Block, launching February, a feature in escrow that will allow users to filter quickly between what is, and isnt available for trade
ᐅ Discord Bot #2, March, some partners will able to integrate the bot inside their communities with access to all of Marco Polo product

MarcoPolo will have a centralized AMM and liquidity pool for communities to add liquidity, farm and stake. $MARCO is the the default reserve currency.
3.2/ Infrastructure

ᐅ The $MARCO Token, incentive for merchants & travelers.

Total supply will sit at 100,000,000 with 25% going to the Team, 15% in a Public Sale, in the form of the first ever Initial Mint Offering, and 10% allocated for Growth & Marketing.
The other 50% of the token will be fully controlled by the community.

1/ My definition of a GREAT "Deep Dive" in a Thread:

My biggest lesson from years of investing in stocks was realizing what it actually means to understand a business to avoid cognitive bias.

Now starting on NFTs, I try to define my framework by applying similar concepts. #NFT
2/ A great "deep-dive" needs to give insights:

ᐅ The roadmap includes value-creation long term?
ᐅ Operators have capabilities to deliver?
ᐅ The community has a "builders" mentality?
and mostly,
ᐅ The community/customers interest will remain stable/increase in the long term?
3/ Starting mistakes

I was wasting time trying to surf every wave only using "hype" as a research tool, this has a lot of issues:
ᐅ Only gives you short term conviction
ᐅ Can be very easily faked (invites, levels schemes)
ᐅ Leave you bag holding things you don't believe in

@SBF_FTX We are still in the very early stages of crypto when it comes to Transaction per Second
@SBF_FTX This is the reality buying NFTs for 500$ to play a game that arent immersive compared to traditional games that costs you 50$ are are super immersive makes no sense.

A lot has to be improved with exception of a few projects like @MiniNations

1/ Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll walk you through various reasons why I think @DroniesNFT is going to be a bluechip project in Solana.

This will help you judge the project quality better, and hence invest better.
2/ Where did I hear about this project?

Luckily I heard @JpegLord talking about this project on @noahkagan youtube channel.
3/ First Differentiator
@JpegLord mentioned that they had worked with Disney and were based in LA but wasn't correct and they clarified

1 of their designers did a freelance project for Star Wars (not the unfold team based in FL/CO)

Transparency is the main philosophy ❤
