OPTUS x Getgems

Hey guys, tell us about the NFT marketplace and what’s unique about Getgems?

Getgems marketplace is the Home of NFTs on TON.

In a nutshell, it’s a one-stop shop where you can launch NFT collections, buy art for collecting or trading, analyze TON NFT market, create your projects, or be part of the community and join cool activities.

How does the NFT marketplace work and what’s the point of it?

The marketplace works pretty simple — it “sees” the entire TON Blockchain and displays all NFT collections and NFTs, making it easy to work with them: create NFTs, trade them, transfer, save, like, and so on.
We’ve got all the necessary tools for trading and analysis — the marketplace also has sections for stats and history.

Why do we need it? Also a simple answer: for the most convenient interaction with NFTs on TON Blockchain in one place, with a user-friendly and fast interface. In short, Getgems has gathered all the best experience of NFT marketplaces and brought it to TON Blockchain.

Who can add their collection on Getgems? How do you select projects?

Absolutely everyone!
Getgems is an open marketplace where anyone can place their collection or artwork.
We do not evaluate or hand-pick projects, the market does the job of deciding which project wins :) So the most important thing is to create a community and demand around your collection, then success is inevitable.

What to look out for when selecting a collection for investment?

NFA & DYOR!
This is both our advice specifically in this article and universal advice to anyone who has ventured into the world of NFTs.

The only recommendation that actually works is to do your own research and try not to listen to ‘advisors’ who persistently offer you their knowledge. After all, any assets you buy and sell are your responsibility alone. You should pay attention to absolutely everything based on your own research.

Are there any super interesting collections on Getgems you’re proud of?

Personally, I’m a big fan of collections that engage the community and bring something fresh to TON ecosystem.

Cool examples include gamified launches like New Year Eggs and Lost Dogs, where thousands of holders battled for prizes.
Collections with unique mechanics like Meridian, dropping new NFTs daily. And don’t even get me started on the ones building entire worlds and ecosystems like TON Punks and Whales Club.
Oh, and those original collections that stole the community’s heart — TON Sharks, Mutant Toadz.

The list goes on, there’s so many gems.

Do you believe NFTs are the future?

For sure!
I’m hoping that eventually, we’ll have legally binding documents as NFTs — driver’s licenses, university diplomas, property ownership certificates, and so on. Making life easier with blockchain magic.

And lastly, what’s Getgems’ superpower?

Our superpower lies in this phrase: “Making NFTs fun again”! We’re all about top-notch tech and a high-quality platform, but combining fun, memes and NFTs is what we love, practice, and bring to the masses.

But there’s something even more crucial! The NFT community on TON. Creators, collectors, and enthusiasts are the ones we do it all for. They are the heart and soul of the NFT world on TON, making it all possible.
