tl;dr

The team who brought DeadEnds to Canto is launching aera, a curated NFT launchpad. We are blown away by the explosion of Canto’s NFT ecosystem, and are building aera to elevate the experience for talented digital artists, serious collectors, and builders within Web+.

aera Pass holders will have priority access to the most exclusive experiences in digital art and collectibles on Canto.

Who we are

Our team is composed of full-time crypto natives spanning fund managers, startup founders, full stack developers, angel investors, advisors, and digital artists. Our mission is to bring top tier artists and up and comers to the passionate Canto community.

We collectively bet on Canto due to the seamless development experience (EVM compatibility) and a steadfast community that persevered through the 2022 market disruption.

Why Canto

Canto’s core primitives (Decentralized Exchange and Lending Market) provide deep, DeFi native liquidity, and the Cosmos app chain setup provides an optimal balance of decentralization, security, and low fees.

Technology aside, Canto has the most important element for a successful blockchain ecosystem - passionate believers. There is an organic, fun, and positive feeling on Canto unlike anything since early Ethereum DeFi. Technically, serious builders like Plex, B-Harvest, and Neobase are making the chain more robust and resilient to support the explosive growth.

Alto’s NFT marketplace is being built by a dedicated team with early Canto roots, and additional infrastructure to support on chain commerce is needed. aera will provide a white glove experience for digital artists and unlock boutique experiences for collectors.
