NFT Minting as a Service
Moonpay has previously collaborated with various celebrities to offer concierge services for purchasing popular NFTs like Bored Ape Yacht Club, with endorsements from big names such as talk show host Jimmy Fallon, as well as investments from superstars like Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg.
In January this year, they introduced NFT Checkout, allowing users to buy NFTs with debit/credit cards, and in early April, integrated NFT Checkout with OpenSea.
While MoonPay has not disclosed information about "HyperMint" on Twitter, their job postings broadly describe the platform's capabilities, aiming to provide an easy NFT issuance service for businesses, brands, and creators, including large-scale deployment, management, and issuance.
Currently, HyperMint is seeking Solana and Ethereum developers, foreseeing a promising future in the NFT space. In their announcement, HyperMint stated:
We're breaking the complexity of deploying NFTs and token strategies apart, reducing the issuance time from months to weeks, or even just a few days, envisioning an AWS version of NFT service platform.
