Kraken Launches NFT Marketplace Supporting Over 250 Tokens Across Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon Blockchains

Kraken, a cryptocurrency exchange, has officially launched its NFT marketplace after beta testing, offering support for over 250 NFTs across Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon blockchains.

The platform will include both high-end projects like CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club, as well as more affordable collections under $100.

Kraken's NFT marketplace will not charge gas fees to customers for buying and selling NFTs, but fees will be incurred when transferring NFTs and other cryptoassets on and off the platform.

Despite regulatory crackdowns in the crypto industry, Kraken has remained in Canada and grown its customer deposits by 25% following the exits of competitors Binance and OKX.

  • The 133rd Ethereum ACDC meeting: The goal is to complete the devnet within 7-10 days

    The Ethereum developers held their 133rd ACDC conference call. First, they outlined the latest research on Ethereum protocol confirmation rules. Then, they discussed Pectra updates related to EIP-7547 and CFI states, and decided to put them on hold temporarily. They also updated the v1.5.0-alpha.1 specification. Regarding the implementation updates for devnet-0, most teams are making progress, but there are also some unexpected complexities. The goal is to complete devnet within 7-10 days.
  • The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

    In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

  • Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

    Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.
  • State of Solana Q1 2024

    Solana (SOL) is an integrated, open-source blockchain with the goal of synchronizing global information at the speed of light. Solana optimizes for latency and throughput, sacrificing some verifiability. It seeks to accomplish this through features such as its novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), block propagation protocol Turbine, and parallel transaction processing. Since mainnet launch in March 2020, several network upgrades have brought further network performance and resilience, including QUIC, stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS), and local fee markets.
  • Polygon zkEVM down due to issues with blockchain sequencer

    The crypto community has been pondering on social media about the ongoing downtime, while Polygon assures its users that it is actively working to resolve the issue.
  • How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

    This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.
  • How to hard-fork to save most users’ funds in a quantum emergency

    Suppose that it is announced tomorrow that quantum computers are available, and bad actors already have access to them and are able to use them to steal users’ funds. Preventing such a scenario is the goal of quantum-resistant cryptography (eg. Winternitz signatures, STARKs), and once account abstraction is in place, any user can switch to using a quantum-resistant signature scheme on their own schedule. But what if we don’t have that much time, and a sudden quantum transition happens long before that?
  • Ethereum is a Game Environment

    People describe Ethereum in a lot of different ways. It’s a smart contract platform, an asset ledger, an always-on financial system, a massive multiplayer online money game, and so on and so forth.
