BlockMint aims to acquire NFTs from multiple genres (including art, sports, music, etc) to create a diverse portfolio of NFTs in support of the upcoming release of an upgraded version of its distributed crypto-miner browser “Minter” that will have a new feature which will allow users to exchange their earned cryptocurrency for a fractional ownership in a NFT from the BlockMint portfolio. The current version of Minter is available to download at getminter.com.

BlockMint’s CEO, Nelson Ijih commented: “We are excited to have BlockMint participate in its first NFT auction this week at Sotheby’s, one of the top auction houses in the world. BlockMint aims to build a NFT portfolio to support the new feature of our Minter browser, which will allow users to choose to either reduce their carbon footprint or participate in the rapidly emerging market for NFTs.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data on a blockchain where each NFT can represent a unique digital item and thus they are not interchangeable. NFTs can represent digital files such as art, audio, video and other forms of creative work. While the digital files themselves are infinitely reproducible, the NFTs representing them are tracked on their underlying blockchains and provide buyers with proof of ownership.

Once released, the upgraded Minter browser will allow users to use their spare computing power to mine cryptocurrencies to earn either: (i) carbon credits to help offset their carbon footprint; or (ii) fractional ownership in a NFT. The updated version of Minter is expected to be available for download in May 2021 for use on desktops and laptops with a Windows operating system. Support for additional operating systems (MacOS, Linux) will be added later this year.

About BlockMint Technologies Inc.

BlockMint, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Blockmint (USA) Technologies Inc., develops distributed systems and networks that enable a more decentralized deployment of blockchain-based applications such as cryptocurrency mining. The Company is currently working on an updated version of its distributed crypto-miner browser, Minter, which will have a user-friendly, built-in dashboard where a user can control the amount (if any) of computing power on his/her computer that will be used for mining to earn carbon credits or fractional ownership in a NFT.
