Tech giant Amazon is going to launch an NFT Marketplace which is available on a tab in its web page named “Amazon Digital Marketplace” on April 24. At first, it will be launched for United States-based users paying through bank cards. The Marketplace will be started with 15 NFT collections on a blockchain platform that is not compatible with Ethereum. If so, creators that want to mint NFTs on Amazon’s platform will have to develop bridges. The company plans to make an animated comedy series named “The Janky & Guggimon Show” in collaboration with Amazon’s Alexa Fund.
BlackBlocs is a blockchain-focused digital art curator and marketplace dedicated to amplifying NFT creators and educating the broader community about Web3 technologies. At its core, BlackBlocs seeks to showcase high-quality works by emerging and established NFT artists, positioning itself as both a collector (“curator”) and a facilitator for artists to reach new audiences.
Mission & Philosophy
* NFT Curation: By labeling projects “curated by Black Blocs” on leading NFT platforms such as Foundation and Spatial, BlackBlocs highlights select digital artworks, affirming its role as a trusted tastemaker.
* Web3 Education: Adopting the tagline “All about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, NFT, and Metaverse,” the organization publishes articles, analyses, and social-media posts that explain blockchain fundamentals, crypto trends, and metaverse developments.
* Community & Impact: Beyond art promotion, BlackBlocs occasionally organizes or endorses charitable Web3 initiatives—for example, NFT-based fundraising for orphan relief in Uganda—underscoring a commitment to social good through digital innovation.
