Hic et Nunc (Latin for "Here and Now") is a decentralized NFT marketplace built on the Tezos blockchain. It enables artists and collectors to mint, trade, and collect NFTs (non-fungible tokens) cost-effectively. Unlike traditional NFT marketplaces that rely on Ethereum and incur high gas fees, Hic et Nunc leverages Tezos’ proof-of-stake network, making it more energy-efficient and affordable for users.
Hic et Nunc allows creators to mint digital artworks as NFTs, which they can list for sale on the marketplace. The artworks can be browsed, purchased, and collected directly from Tezos wallets. Moreover, the platform supports direct peer-to-peer interactions without intermediaries, empowering artists and giving them full ownership over their digital creations.
Collectors use it to discover new, often experimental art at accessible prices. Artists use it to reach a global audience at minimal cost and with more equitable exposure compared to traditional galleries or centralised NFT platforms.
Tezos (XTZ) is the native token for Hic et Nunc. $XTZ allows users to transact, mint, list, and buy NFTs. Users with $XTZ can participate in staking or governance on the ecosystem.
